“Why do many characters have the same or very similar names in \u201cWuthering Heights\u201d?<\/strong>
\n\"wuthering-heights-analysis-sample\"<\/a>\u00a0In the classic romantic novel\u00a0Wuthering Heights,\u00a0many characters have similar names, and character references can be confusing. One underlying factor\u00a0driving the naming patterns in this novel is family naming patterns that link parents to children. As multiple generations are added to the story, children are given the names of their parents – specifically, Catherine’s daughter Cathy Linton, and Isabella Heathcliff (n\u00e9e Linton)’s son Linton Heathcliff (Bronte, 2009).\u00a0The study of these family naming patterns is called\u00a0onomastics (Falck-Kjallquist, 2016).\u00a0<\/p>\n

The practice of giving a child a name from a previous generation is common even today, and may be denoted by the use of “Junior” to indicate someone who has been named after their father. However, the onomastic pattern in\u00a0Wuthering Heights\u00a0preserves the names of the mothers in the story (Falck-Kjallquist, 2016). The main female character, Catherine Earnshaw, marries Edgar Linton (becoming Catherine Linton) and names her child Catherine Linton, called Cathy in everyday usage. Since Catherine’s brother Hindley has already passed on the family name (Earnshaw) to his son Hareton, Catherine’s only concern is with the preservation of her own identity – an identity which she replicates in her daughter, to a great extent. Isabella’s son Linton Heathcliff is, likewise, an avatar of his mother’s identity, since the Linton family lacks a male heir.<\/p>\n

Linton and Cathy are both tools for the novel’s protagonists to act through. Their actions carry out the unfulfilled dreams of their parents: Catherine’s dream to marry Heathcliff, and Heathcliff’s dream to dominate those who wronged him as a child. The unwise marriage of Cathy to Linton that occurs toward the end of the novel is intended to show the destructive character of their parents’ passion for each other. Even though Catherine and Heathcliff both married other people, Heathcliff’s jealousy and Catherine’s willfulness are acted out through their children.<\/p>\n
