heathcliff has never had "anger management issues" like his profile says. it's been shown before but this canto is really driving it home. he actually does have the ability to recognize when he's getting upset, and tends to give a fair warning before he starts becoming violent. if his boundaries are not respected, of course he's going to retaliate.
the point where i realized he actually has a lot of gentleness in his heart that he's been keeping safely hidden away is the first scene where hindley and linton are insulting him in front of everyone.
if he really had "anger management problems" this conversation would not have happened. he would've been incapable of holding his temper back. heathcliff prioritizes catherine's well-being above his own, and is both emotionally mature enough and caring enough to not yell back at his abusers solely because he knows cathy doesn't like it. he doesn't actually snap until he hears that she's dead.
which brings me to my second point: when the mirror heathcliff finds out about her death, his first instinct is not to get aggressive with nelly—the bearer of bad news—but immediate self harm.
his problem is not anger management. never has been. it's deep, deep self-hatred.
