Even though everyone employs different approach in the description of the personality , I would like to share with my view on the characterization.

He seemed a sullen, patient child; hardened, perhaps, to ill-treatment: he would stand Hindley's blows without winking or shedding a tear, and my pinches moved him only to draw in a breath and open his eyes, as if he had hurt himself by accident, and nobody was to blame … He took to Heathcliff strangely, believing all he said (he said precious little, and generally the truth) he was as uncomplaining as a lamb; though hardness, not gentleness, made him give little trouble. ungrateful, sullen patient and obedient a devil in disguise vindictive calculative ,shrewd and cruel Yearning for love in a simple way Pathetic and underdog
