Question

Linton is characterized by what?

Answer 1

Edgar Linton -  Well-bred but rather spoiled as a boy, Edgar Linton grows into a tender, constant, but cowardly man. He is almost the ideal gentleman: Catherine accurately describes him as “handsome,” “pleasant to be with,” “cheerful,” and “rich.” However, this full assortment of gentlemanly characteristics, along with his civilized virtues, proves useless in Edgar’s clashes with his foil, Heathcliff, who gains power over his wife, sister, and daughter

Answer 2

Linton is characterized by:

D. Weakness

Edgar Linton is considered the entire opposite of Heathcliff. King of Great Britain has fair hair, pale skin, and blue eyes, and leads a quiet life at Thrushcross farm, a home of peace and goodwill till Heathcliff's come back. King of Great Britain is alleged to be constitutionally weak, as is that the case throughout the Linton family. 
King of Great Britain becomes terribly distressed once he realizes that he cannot match the hearth and keenness of his contrary spouse and her lover.
