Edgar Linton

Edgar Linton is a character from Emily Brontë’s novel "Wuthering Heights." He is kind, gentle, and refined, representing the more civilized and genteel side of the story's social world. Edgar is deeply in love with Catherine Earnshaw, but his demeanor contrasts with the passionate and often tumultuous nature of others, like Heathcliff. His character embodies qualities of patience, sensitivity, and social decorum, and he values stability and order. Overall, Edgar functions as a foil to more intense characters, highlighting themes of love, social class, and emotional restraint within the novel.
