<u>Answer</u>:

Heathcliff so eager for Cathy and Linton to marry before Edgar dies so that she can help him rise and leave her brother’s power.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Heathcliff is one of the main fictional character in the famous novel Wuthering heights, who is mostly known for his romantic situation with his lover Catherine Earnshaw. However, regardless of his strong feelings, Heathcliff insisted that Cathy and Linton marry and this is due to several reasons.  

Around the half of the novel, the character of Heathcliff started changing and developed into an angry, disturbed, unhappy and hostile man. Therefore, the first idea that came into Cathy’s mind was helping him by marrying Lincoln before the death of Edgar. By that, Edgar could use his connection to aid her true lover Heathcliff instead of marrying him as she had no money and having no future with him.

Q2: Why did the British want to capture New Orleans?

Q6: What combination of events led to the British defeat at New Orleans?

A6:

October 24, 1814

Edward Pakenham receives orders to command the expedition against New Orleans

November 6–7, 1814

Seeking to deny the British a fortified harbor, Andrew Jackson’s forces enter and temporarily occupy Pensacola after a short, fierce skirmish against Spanish troops; the British depart after blowing up Fort Barrancas.

November 19–22, 1814

Still not knowing where the British force will strike, Jackson leaves some troops to protect Mobile and proceeds to New Orleans, traveling overland to personally scout possible British landing sites.

December 1, 1814

Andrew Jackson reaches New Orleans, makes a public address to rally the citizens, and establishes his headquarters. Meanwhile, Admiral Cochrane’s advance ships appear off the passes of the Mississippi.

December 14, 1814

December 16, 1814

Jackson declares martial law in New Orleans, while two British officers dressed as local fishermen secretly reconnoiter a route to the city via Bayou Bienvenue to the Villeré and Delaronde Plantations. British troops begin mustering at Isle aux Poix (Pea Island), near the mouth of the Pearl River.

Q7: How many British and American casualties were there from the battle of New Orleans?

A7: The assault on Jackson’s fortifications was a fiasco, costing the British some 2,000 casualties including three generals and seven colonels—all of it in the span of only 30 minutes. Amazingly, Jackson’s ragtag outfit had lost fewer than 100 men.
