Question

Linton is characterized by A. Nelly's doting. B. his father's looks. C. his cruelty. D. weakness.

Answer 1

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.
