For example, Jacob was less of a doormat than Edgar, and Edward was less unhinged than the troubled Heathcliff. The basic character dynamics seen in Eclipse will be familiar to fans of Bronte’s novel, albeit with each character’s defining traits toned down. Despite their differences, the distraught that both characters suffered due to their shared fate of being madly in love with someone who they cannot be with was the defining characteristic that ties the two together. However, Bella was also far less self-destructive as a result and survived the story thanks to her ability to disengage, where Cathy had never met a fight she didn’t want a part in. This was far from true of Cathy, and admittedly, it's hard to deny that Stewart’s heroine was nowhere near as fiery as Bronte’s character.
