The End of Wuthering Heights

What happens to...

Linton Heathcliff? He marries Cathy Linton, after Heathcliff imprisons her in the house and forces them to marry so that Cathy won't get her inheritance. He is very weak and feeble, and is very selfish and willing to sacrifice her to Heathcliff so that he won't get hurt. He does pull through for her when he lets Cathy escape to see her father before he dies but he has no courage of his own. He dies shortly after he marries Cathy.

Hareton Earnshaw? He grows up completely uneducated and as a force of nature, but actually does have a good heart. Heathcliff encourages every bad unacceptable behavior in him so as to place him in the same position he was under Hindley. However Hareton really respects Heathcliff and sees him as a true father figure. Eventually, he falls for Cathy Linton and allows her to educate him and they eventually marry and move to Thruscross Grange.

Cathy Linton? She is very nice and mannered but still has a very selfish nature and still has a superiority complex about those she loves, especially regarding Hareton as she believes she is better than him. In the end she corrects her mother's mistake by overlooking the "degraded" nature of Hareton and is happy with him.
