Significant others in a person's upbringing can affect his life, such as Katherine and Handley for Hee. The former builds his spiritual world, his inner harbor, while the latter discriminates against and degrades people. This makes him more rebellious and revengeful, otherwise he would not necessarily become the revengeful Xi.

1. Conversation on the cliff:
Catherine: Don't you know you are handsome? Do you know what I told Helen? You are a prince in disguise. I said your father was a Chinese emperor and your mother an Indian queen. It's true, Heathcliff. You were kidnapped by bad sailors and brought to England. But I am happy. I always wanted to meet noble born people. All the princes with castles I've ever read. Of course. They captured them. You must also capture one. There is a beautiful castle. Waiting for your spear, Mr. Prince.
Hee: You're talking about the East Cliffs of Ponnis? That's just a rock.
Catherine: You can't see that it's a castle, you can never be a prince. Here, bring your spears and weapons! See that black knight on the openable and closable drawbridge? Challenge him!
Hi: Charge!
Hi: Let the world admit that there is no more beautiful flower. . . More beautiful than Princess Catherine of Yorkshire (Northeast England).
Catherine: But still your slave.
Hee: No, Cathy. I now make you my queen. No matter what happens, you will always be my queen.
2. Why continue to stay in Wuthering Heights:
Xi: I stayed here and was beaten like a dog. Abused, cursed and driven mad, but I just stay by your side. Even live like a dog! I'll stay till the end. I won't leave if I die.
3. Shee said to Linton:
But I'll be back in a day, judge, Linton. I will get revenge on you. I will destroy this neem house by your head. This is my curse on you! You all!
4. After Linton was rude to Xi, Catherine drove Linton away and came to the cliff to find Xi:
Catherine said to Xi: Forgive me, Heathcliff. Make the world stop here. Make everything stop and never move again. Make the wilderness never change, and you and I never change.
Nozomi: Wilderness and I will never change. How about you? Cathy.
Cathy: - I won't. No matter what I've ever done or said, this is me now. Standing on this hill with you. This is me forever.
5. Kath put on a dress. Xi mocked her.
Hee: He soiled your pretty dress. But who got your heart dirty? Not Wuthering Heights! Who made you a vain, cheap, worldly fool? Linton did! You won't be able to love him, but you will make you out of your vanity to be loved. Loved by that coward who wears buttoned shoes!
6.: Hee intentionally hurts his hand:
Helen: What did you do to your hand?
Hee: I want to crawl on her feet, whimpering and begging for forgiveness. . . For loving me, for needing her. More than my own life...for her, more than my own soul.
7. Catherine confessed to Helen
Catherine: Can you keep a secret? Edgar asked me to marry him.
Helen: What did you tell him?
Catherine: I'll give him my answer tomorrow.
Helen: Do you love him? Miss Cathy
Catherine - yes! Of course.
Helen: Why?
Catherine: Why? That's a stupid question, isn't it?
Helen: No, not very stupid. Why do you love him?
Catherine: He's handsome and easy to get along with.
Helen: - That's not enough.
Catherine: - Because he will be rich one day. I will be the nicest lady in the county.
Helen: Now tell me how much you love him.
Catherine: I love the ground under his feet, the air above his head... and everything he touches.
Helen: How about Heathcliff?
Catherine: Oh, Heathcliff. He is getting worse day by day. Marrying him would lower my status. I wish he never came back. Wouldn't it be nice to get out of this ghost place?
Helen Well, if Master Edgar and his charms, and money... and banquets are heaven to you, what keeps you from being one of the Lintons' angels?
Helen: I don't think I belong to heaven. I dreamed once that I was there. I dreamed that I was going to heaven, it didn't look like my home. I cried back to the ground and broken heart. The angels were so angry they threw me into the air...above Wuthering Heights. I cried happily when I woke up. That's it, Helen! My marriage to Edgar was like going to heaven. But Helen, what can I do?
Helen: You're thinking about Heathcliff.
Catherine: He's so depraved, he seems to take pleasure in cruelty. And he is more me than I am. Whatever our soul is made of, his and mine are the same. Linton's is different. like fire and ice. My purpose in life is Heathcliff. I'm from Heathcliff. Everything he was hurt, I was hurt too. He is happy and so am I. If everything were dead and Heathcliff was alive, life would be complete for me.
[The original text of the novel "My greatest distress in this world is Heathcliff's distress; every one of his distress, from the very beginning, I was aware of and felt it. The greatest thought in my life is him, even if other Everything is destroyed. He alone remains, and I am still me. If everything else remains, and he alone is destroyed, the whole universe becomes a giant stranger, and I am not a part of him. ”]
8. Xi said to Elizabeth:
My dear, your horse is not lame, it never lame. You came to see me because you feel lonely. Because sitting like an outsider
feels lonely... In such a happy house, like your brother's, riding alone in the wilderness, with no one by your side.
9. On the night of the dance, Xi saw Catherine:
Xi: He doesn't love you as much as I love you in one day. He can't. Not all the people in the world can.
10. Elizabeth said to Catherine
Do you think I don't know why you do this? Because you love him. Yes! You love him! And you are mad and bitter that I am going to marry him. You need him, long for and dream of you, die for you, while you live in comfort as Mrs. Linton. You don't want him to be happy. You want to make him suffer. You want to destroy him! But I want to make him happy, and I will!
11. Catherine to stop Shee:
Catherine: Heathcliff, is that true? Shee :
What's true?
Isabella proposes.
Hi: That's true.
Kay: Oh, Heathcliff, you can't do this. She didn't hurt you.
Xi: You have.
Kay: Then punish me!
Hee: I will, when I put my arms around her -- when I swear by her life and happiness.
Kay: Are you still human, you can't do that. Don't make me a partner in such a crime. That is stupid. crazy.
Xi: As long as you look at me with your heart, I am willing to be your slave. If your heart is stronger than the fear of God and the world. I will silently content to dwell in your shadow.
Kay: But no.
Hee: You must destroy both of us. Use what you call the weakness of virtue. You must have troubled me. With the cruelty you think pious. You're complacent and happy about my intense love for you, aren't you? After this, you won't feel like I'm Cathy's stupid and hopeless lover. You'll think I'm Isabella's husband...
12. Catherine begins to seek death:
The doctor says: But there's something more than that. I have no idea. I call it the will to die.
Elizabeth: Maybe I can live if she dies.
HANDLEY: There is this neem house where Heathcliff lives, and no one can live in it. Only hatred. It breathes on me like the devil breathes. And you, he hates you more than he hates me. He hates you. Every time you kiss him, his heart breaks. Because it wasn't Cathy who kissed him.
13. Catherine met Xi temporarily:
Catherine: How long will you live after I leave?
Xi: As long as I can catch you, until the end of our lives.
Catherine: When I die, will you forget me?
Hee: I may forget you soon after I die. Cathy, if you die --
Catherine: Poor Heathcliff. Come. Make me feel how strong you are.
Hee: Strong enough to bring the two of us back to the world, Cathy, if you want to live.
Catherine: No, Heathcliff. I want to die.
Hee: Why did you kill yourself? No, I won't comfort you. My tears don't love you, Cathy. They wither you and curse you.
Catherine: Heathcliff, don't break my heart.
Hee: Oh, Cathy, I never broke your heart. You hurt yourself.
Catherine: You love me!
Hee: What right do you have to give up love for a little of your feeling? For a vulgar heart? Misery, death and all evil. God and man once could pass it on. . . Can't separate us. You do it alone. You walk away and wander. . . Like a ridiculous, greedy kid. . . Break your heart and mine.
Catherine: Heathcliff, forgive me. I will never leave you again. I told you, Helen, when he walked away,
in the rain that night--I told you that I belonged to him, that he was my life, my reality. I am yours, Heathcliff. I never belong to anyone else.
Catherine: Take me to the window. Let me look at the wilderness with you once again. my dear. again. How beautiful the weather is today. Can you see the cliffs? . .
Xi: There, where is our castle?
Catherine: I will wait for you. . . Until you come
14. Catherine is dead, Xi's monologue:
Xi: She is now in peace, in heaven, away from us. They don't know what heaven or hell is, Cathy...people who don't even know life? Oh, they're praying for you, Cathy. I will pray with them. I repeat until my tongue is hard, Kathleen Oshaw, you can't rest while I'm alive. I kill you. Make trouble with me. Make trouble with your murderer. I know there are ghosts lingering with me forever. by any means. drive me crazy. Just don't leave me alone in the dark, where I can't find you. I can't live without life. I can't die without a soul.
15. Helen's closing remarks
Helen: Poor Heathcliff trying to leave in tears, the veil between death and life... crying to Cathy's soul. . .
Tenant: You said I heard Cathy's ghost at the window?
Helen: Not her ghost, Cathy's love, stronger than time itself...
