Dr. Kenneth also plays a secondary role in the novel. Kenneth is a main doctor in the book. He treated Catherine, Edgar, Francis. Dr. Kenneth may be called the busiest man in Gimmerton. Between delivering all the babies, diagnosing tuberculosis, and dealing with hysteria and mental illness, he's on full time. In the overall plot of “Wuthering Heights,” Dr. Kenneth matters very little. He is simply the local doctor who the Earnshaws and Lintons called when they required a doctor. He is a specialist with complete higher medical education, who is constantly engaged in the maintenance or restoration of human health through prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases and injuries.
