Evidence of Weakness
(Physical/Emotional/Moral) in Edgar
Evidence of Strength
(Physical/Emotional/Moral) in Edgar

"take(n) the law into (his) own fists—it will give (him) an appetite." “I didn't,” sobbed the youth, escaping from my hands, and finishing the remainder of the purification with his cambric pocket-handkerchief. “I promised mamma that I wouldn't say one word to him, and I didn't.”By: Darren Phua
Edgar's physiognomy suggests he is no fit mate for Catherine , not just in being "pensive and amiable",

" seldom mustered courage to visit wuthering heights openly", being terrified of hindley.

Edgar's physical characteristics are significant. his light hair, blue eyes, fair skin and good manners conform him to expectationsof the hero of a conventional romance. Also, Edgar "is angelic" when he is compared to healthcliff.
