... classification,
because he has put on a face other than his own. "To prepare a face to meet
the faces that you meet." He has always done what he was socially supposed
to do, instead of yielding to his own natural feelings. He wrestles with
his desires to change his world and with his fear of their rejection. He

In closing, Heathcliff had a rough and tumble childhood. He faced
many problems when his sweetheart ...

... cloak, since black is associated with death. When Jack first appears, he comes out of the “darkness of the forest” and Ralph, the symbol of goodness, cannot see Jack’s face because his back is to the sun.
