1、catherine earnshaw and heathcliff. catherine earnshaw and heathcliff do love each other very much but they do not have the right attitude towards love which leads to the tragedy. in catherines life she made a very foolish decision-marrying to edgar. in fact her love for edgar can never be compared t
2、o that for heathcliff. she did so because she thought the wealth of edgar would be useful to help heathcliff. but in reality it did not work. she did not have a good understanding of love which is something pure and saint. if anyone add any purpose into love love itself lost its meaning. catherines
3、wrong decision hurt two people who love her and even destroyed the happiness of their offspring. heathcliff is a man full of retaliation. he loved catherine very much but what he did on the contrary added to the misery of catherine. in my opinion if he really loved catherine he should not walk into
4、catherines life again after his disappearance. further more after the death of catherine what heathcliff did brought agony to catherines daughter as well as his own son. after reading i have a better understanding of love. if you love really someone his or her happiness is the thing that most matter

8、ous; the figure almost too graceful. she supposing edgar could not see her snatched the cloth from my hand and pinched me with a prolonged wrench very spitefully on the arm. her eyes began to glisten and her lids to twinkle. her lips were half asunder as if she meant to speak and she drew a breath;
9、but it escaped in a sigh instead of a sentence. my love for linton is like the foliage in the woods: time will change it im well aware as winter changes the trees. my love for heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneath: a source of little visible delight but necessary. there was a violent wind a
10、s well as thunder and either one or the other split a tree off at the corner of the building: a huge bough fell across the roof and knocked down a portion of the east chimney-stack sending a clatter of stones and soot into the kitchen-fire. and her teeth chattered as she shrank closer to the almost
11、extinguished embers. it had got dusk and the moon looked over the high wall of the court causing undefined shadows to lurk in the corners of the numerous projecting portions of the building. a ray fell on his features; the cheeks were sallow and half covered with black whiskers; the brows lowering t

13、 cheer her by the fondest words; but vaguely regarding the flowers she let the tears collect on her lashes and stream down her cheeks unheeding. the period of reflection succeeding this silly action compelled me to admit the necessity of smothering my pride and choking my wrath and bestirring myself
14、 to remove its effects. her pretty face was wan and listless; her hair uncurled: some locks hanging lankly down and some carelessly twisted round her head. i notice when i enter his presence the muscles of his countenance are involuntarily distorted into an expression of hatred; partly arising from
15、his knowledge of the good causes i have to feel that sentiment for him and partly from original aversion. i gave him my heart and he took and pinched it to death and flung it back to me. there was no sound through the house but the moaning wind which shook the windows every now and then the faint cr

18、s and crooked firs with solemn intentness and then shook his head: his private feelings entirely disapproved of the exterior of his new abode. it was a close sultry day: devoid of sunshine but with a sky too dappled and hazy to threaten rain. catherines face was just like the landscape - shadows and
19、 sunshine flitting over it in rapid succession; but the shadows rested longer and the sunshine was more transient; and her poor little heart reproached itself for even that passing forgetfulness of its cares. good paragraphsparagraph 1joseph was an elderly nay an old man: very old perhaps though hal

21、vent. paragraph 5there was a carpet - a good one but the pattern was obliterated by dust; a fireplace hung with cut-paper dropping to pieces; a handsome oak-bedstead with ample crimson curtains of rather expensive material and modern make; but they had evidently experienced rough usage: the vallance

23、hite dress with a light shawl over her shoulders in the recess of the open window as usual. her thick long hair had been partly removed at the beginning of her illness and now she wore it simply combed in its natural tresses over her temples and neck. her appearance was altered as i had told heathcl
24、iff; but when she was calm there seemed unearthly beauty in the change. the flash of her eyes had been succeeded by a dreamy and melancholy softness; they no longer gave the impression of looking at the objects around her: they appeared always to gaze beyond and far beyond - you would have said out
25、of this world. then the paleness of her face - its haggard aspect having vanished as she recovered flesh - and the peculiar expression arising from her mental state though painfully suggestive of their causes added to the touching interest which she awakened; and - invariably to me i know and to any
26、 person who saw her i should think - refuted more tangible proofs of convalescence and stamped her as one doomed to decay. paragraph 7in her eagerness she rose and supported herself on the arm of the chair. at that earnest appeal he turned to her looking absolutely desperate. his eyes wide and wet a
27、t last flashed fiercely on her; his breast heaved convulsively. an instant they held asunder and then how they met i hardly saw but catherine made a spring and he caught her and they were locked in an embrace from which i thought my mistress would never be released alive: in fact to my eyes she seem

30、 dress she commonly wore befitting her age more than her position: a low frock with short sleeves and nothing on either head or neck. the frock was of light silk and clung to her with wet and her feet were protected merely by thin slippers; add to this a deep cut under one ear which only the cold pr
31、evented from bleeding profusely a white face scratched and bruised and a frame hardly able to support itself through fatigue; and you may fancy my first fright was not much allayed when i had had leisure to examine her. paragraph 9heathcliff did not glance my way and i gazed up and contemplated his
32、features almost as confidently as if they had been turned to stone. his forehead that i once thought so manly and that i now think so diabolical was shaded with a heavy cloud; his basilisk eyes were nearly quenched by sleeplessness and weeping perhaps for the lashes were wet then: his lips devoid of their ferocious sneer and sealed in an expression of
