It is their growth environment and id that determine such a kind of life, or the way of love, the love of the protagonist and the love of ordinary people, there is a difference in the degree of just talking about one object, the meaning of Catherine to Heathcliff It is equivalent to half of his life. Heathcliff's so-called hatred of Catherine is to hate her "betrayal". What Catherine gave Heathcliff was not just a sweet love, the two of you are in love with me, but the future, you can imagine The future is that two people find the meaning of life in the vast world in a way different from "civilized people", so Catherine's betrayal is not just a simple "girlfriend doesn't like me anymore". It was the other half of my life that betrayed me, and all the future I envisioned collapsed, but I still couldn't let go of what it all meant to me. That's why Heathcliff can feel such a strong emotion when he incarnates such a sick avenger. Heathcliff can actually make another choice here. If his logic deduces that "my future has been ruined by someone and has lost all meaning", then he will create a new future and give me the rest of my life. The meaning of waiting with it is also a kind of sublimation. However, the author needs such a perspective, so let the protagonist go to a dead end, showing such a "barbarian" style, a bit extreme, and the pursuit of a pure life form. If the protagonist is as enlightened as a modern person and finds that the departure of his girlfriend actually has no influence on him, so he can still earn W, buy a car, buy a house and find a new girlfriend, that would be too modern.

Wuthering Heights quotes

  • Cathy: [contemplative, facing the fireplace, upon hearing someone walk in] If that's you, Nellie, then I am sorry for scolding you. I wish now that you had stayed.

    Heathcliff: [walking up to Cathy] It is not Nellie, it is I.

    [while Cathy still refuses to look into his eyes]

    Heathcliff: Why, Cathy, what is it? What's the matter?

    Cathy: [finally looking up and at him, solemnly] Edgar Linton has asked me to marry him.

    Heathcliff: [searching Cathy's eyes] And, have you given him your answer?

    [Cathy nods negatively]

    Heathcliff: But you did not say no!

    [Cathy nods negatively, again]

    Heathcliff: And have you considered how you will bear the separation from me, and how I would be quite deserted in the world without you?

    [pauses for a moment]

    Heathcliff: Did you consider that?

    Cathy: You quite deserted! We separated! Who is to separate us, pray?

    Heathcliff: [stressing his each word] You would be Mrs. Linton.

    Cathy: Yes. As Mrs. Linton I can aid you to rise and place you out of my brother's power.

    Heathcliff: [with controlled indignation] With your husband's money you'll rescue me...

    [walking away from Cathy towards the door, and then turning back]

    Heathcliff: Do you think I can endure such a thing?

    [Cathy rushes to Heathcliff, attempts to kiss him]

    Heathcliff: [holding Cathy back, accentuating each word, with loathing] You will be Mrs. Linton.

  • Heathcliff: [bending over Cathy's coffin] You said I'd killed you... Haunt me then... Be with me always... Take any form, drive me mad but don't leave me. In this abyss where I cannot find you... I cannot live without my life, I cannot live without my soul...
