Hindley, like his sister Catherine, was a spoiled but whiny young man. He has been used to his father's deep affections on him and his sister, especially some of the presents that they had wanted from Mr. Earnshaw while he was away. He was originally a good-natured and well-behaved boy who lived a decent lifestyle until the mysterious Gypsy boy named Heathcliff came into his life.
He is cruel, abusive and jealous towards his foster brother Heathcliff, as it is due to the fact that he is jealous of him being loved and adored more by his father.

He neither wept, nor prayed—he cursed and defied—execrated God and man, and gave himself up to reckless dissipation. The servants could not bear his tyrannical and evil conduct long. Joseph and I were the only two that would stay.
