Someone asked: Why didn't Catherine Earnshaw leave her husband after Hickliffe came back rich?

Clearly, Catherine wouldn't do that, and Heathcliff wouldn't accept her coming back to him in that situation. Because such an approach is so out of character: H and K are the same kind of people, H came back for revenge, he did not accept K again does not mean that he rejected her, but to those who have hurt him and her Deep people express denial and revenge! Regarding the emotional handling, I personally think that it is more like a game between them, and the painful maintenance and tug-of-war has kicked off from then on... All of this K is also very clear in her heart, because she herself is Heathcliff! Some critics say that K is the id of the author EMILY, and H is the incarnation of EMILY, which is her self. If so, then the two of them are one, that is, if one is in conflict, the other can never agree with it - except by death.

Cathy: He seems to take pleasure in being mean and brutal. And yet, he's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same. And Linton's is as different as frost from fire... Ellen, I AM Heathcliff.
[thunderbolt]
Cathy: Everything he's suffered, I've suffered. The little happiness he's ever known, I've had too. Oh, Ellen, if everything in the world died and Heathcliff remained, life would still be full for me.

Heathcliff: Why are your eyes always empty? Like Linton's eyes.
Isabella: They're not empty, if you'd only look deeper. Look at me. I'm pretty. I'm a woman and I love you. You're all of life to me. Let me be a single breath of it for you.
