The Linton Family

The Linton family is a fictional group from the novel "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Brontë. They are a central family in the story, comprising the kind and gentle Mr. Linton and his daughter, Isabella. The Linton family’s connection to the main characters, particularly Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw, influences the novel’s complex relationships and themes of love, social class, and revenge. Their presence helps to explore the contrasts between kindness and cruelty, as well as the destructive impact of past grievances on future generations.
