1) In Canto IV of "Inferno", Dante descends into Limbo, the First Circle of Hell. He tries to fix his eyes in order to know the place where he is. 'Limbus' in latin means edge, borger, margin. Dante chooses pictorical and musical elements to describe the setting. He distinguishes sounds: «Here, as mine ear could note, no plaint was heard / Except of sighs, that made the eternal air / Tremble, not caused by tortures, but from grief». It's a place of «shadowy sadness», «dark and deep and murky». It's a «blind world» beacuse here lie men and women that never knew the light of hope that is Christ. The pale faces of Virgil and other characters reveal the anguish of knowing the they will never enjoy the presence of God. Eventhough, near the end of the Canto IV, Dante characterizes this circle as serene in comparisson with climate with storms and where no light shines that is properly Hell.
2) According to medieval theologists, this was the place where babies whithout being baptized rested. Also, this place exists for patriarchs, virtuous people whose only fault was not to be baptized. For his time, Dante was daring, because he gave more importance to figures like Aristotle and Homer than to the unbaptized infants. Some of the characters the Dante places in Limbo are easily known, like Aristotle, Democritus and Homer. He names many biblical figures, such as Noah, Abel and Moses. Dante meets many characters from Greek and Latin tradition. Naso and Lucan are some examples. Other characters are mythological: like Hector or Electra. There are also a muslims: Saladin, Avicenna and Averroes. This many characters make difficult to understand this circle, since they imply numerous traditions: poetry, philsophy, mathematics, heroes.
Let's start with an obvious one. He certainly is not a coward. He was willing to take on a dog that was ferocious; in contrast, Heathcliff makes the comment that the "cowardly children also crept forward..." That quoted phrase is somewhere near the very end.
Your first example of yellow underlining is a wonderful example. Heathcliff is quite common and he would use common English. He characterizes Cathy as being gentile and not given to saying anything contrary to her upbringing.
I would note that Heathcliff followed grumbling execrations and vengeance. [an execration is a threat denouncement or curse. Again Heathcliff is showing his common upbringing. Cathy would choke before she would utter such things. This one is kind of iffy. You could omit it. It is by inference something that shows that Heathcliff is different].
Your second underlined statement is correct. It characterizes Heathcliff as a robber and a thief and part of a lowlife gang. You could go on. Robert does not hesitate to make his feelings known and adds to what you underlined.
Your third underlined statement is correct as well. I have added two but your examples are fine.
Who marks this? Make an appeal if you get it wrong. Interpreting literature is that way. This is not exactly a factual question and the only way to answer it is to compare Heathcliff to someone else. I chose Robert and Cathy. Write your instructor and provide some of the evidence you have provided here.
