The Love Between Heathcliff and Catherine The love between the two is pure, longlasting and however violent. Heathcliff’s love for Catherine is eternal that nothing can separate him from Catherine even death. While Catherine’s love is selfish. She loves Heathcliff for the nature of the two is the same, however, she can not marry him because his low reputation will ruin hers. So she betrays him, which has destroyed lives of the two and other lives of those around them, and marries Edgar for whose richness and high reputation. Childhood This story happens under the background of Wuthering Heights, the name of an old house, high up on the Yorkshire moors, occupied by the Earnshaw family. Thirty years earlier, Earnshaw brings a child who has been living the life of a waif in the slums of Liverpool, rears him as one of his own children and gives him the name of Heathcliff. Mr. Earnshaw’s teenage son Hindley bees bitterly jealous because much more attention of his father is paid upon Heathcliff, whom he treats badly. While the heroine Catherine Earnshaw likes him and plays with him all the daytime on the moors. Sooner they build a deep friendship and are fond of each other during the reaction against the oppression of Hindley. Catherine and Heathcliff are very intimates because of their same world outlook. They are both children of the wild, rebellions to the conventional etiquettes. As stated by Qiao Dongyue, “As Catherine and Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights , when they live in the solitary and sorrowful place, they well understand the fates of each other and rise in rebellion on the basis of their mon rate and feeling.” (Qiao Dongyue, 1997: 21) This idea is best expressed from the social viewpoint of Arnold Kettle in his introduction to the English novel. “Against this degradation Catherine and Heathcliff rebel, hurling their books into the dogkettle. And in their revolt they discover deep and passionate need of each other. He, the outcast slummy, turns to the lovely, spirited, fearless girl who alone offers him human understanding and radeship. And she born into the world of Wuthering 河南教育学 院本科毕业论文（设计） 4 Heights, senses that to achieve a full humanity, to be true to herself as a human being, she must associate herself totally with him in his rebellion against the tyranny involve.” (Arnold Kettle, 1960: 34) While the happy life of the two dose not last for a long time, since after the death of Mr. Earnshaw, Hindley takes over the old house, bees the master. From that time, Heathcliff is humiliated and deprived of all human rights by Hindley, and lives as a despised animal. Although the life is miserable, he can suffer it without saying a word all because of the pany of Catherine. “They fot everything the minute they were together again.” (Emily Bronte, 2020: 36) When they are both in dilemma, they take each other as the spirit and sunshine of life and their same interest and life concept make a bond of the two, just as Catherine says: “He is more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same”, “If all else remained, and he were gone, the universe would seem a stranger”, “I am Heathcliff. He is always in my heart。 not as pleasure, but as my own being.” Heathcliff exclaims from within, “I’d not exchange my condition here for Edgar Linton’s at Thrushcross Grange, not for a thousand lives”, “I’m not live without my soul”. (Bronte, 2020: 65) They were each other’s soulmate for their whole life. “In front of love, Heathcliff was admirableness.”(Robert Kiely, 2020: 157) However, Catherine is selfish. Although as much loves Heathcliff as she loves herself, Catherine can not marry someone like him with low birth. Otherwise, she will be degraded. No matter what the reason is, it all proves that her love for Heathcliff is selfish. There is also a clear hint we can see through the dialogue between Catherine and Mrs. Ellen Dean, the housekeeper at Wuthering Heights. As Catherine says: “I’ve no more business to marry Edgar Linton than I have to be in heaven。 and if the wicked man in there had not brought Heathcliff so low, I shouldn’t have thought of it. It would degrade me to marry Heathcliff now.” (Bronte, 2020: 64) It is so cruel that let a person overhear that his lover is going to marry someone else, so it goes to Heathcliff, who loved Catherine more than himself. At the very night he leaves Wuthering Heights without hearing that in the depth of her heart Catherine loves him. 河南教育学 院本科毕业论文（设计） 5 Adulthood Three years later, Heathcliff es back to Wuthering Heights, which is a place full of the memories of his whole life either happy or sad. During those three years, he hates Catherine who betrays their love and plans to take revenge on her and Edgar Linton by seducing Edgar’s sister Isabella to marry him, but he dose not love her and cruelly maltreats her. However, at the first sight on Catherine since the separation he fets all the sorrows that Catherine has brought to him , and loves her deeper than before. And he would rather give up all his possessions as long as she agrees to leave with him. It is not so hard for us to find his crazy love for Catherine at the pathetic scene of the final meeting between Heathcliff and Catherine just before the latter’s death. “He neither spoke nor loosed his hold for some five minutes, during which period he bestowed more kisses than ever he gave in his life before.” (Bronte, 2020: 129) All those descriptions of his behaviors express his deep love for Catherine, and he misses her terribly. And his fist sentence utters at the meeting: “O Cathy! O my life! How can I bear it?”(Bronte, 2020: 129) further explains his intensity love for Cathy. “Don’t torture me till I’m as mad as yourself”, “I could as soon fet you as my existence”(130), “I love my murderbut yours! How can I”(132), these utterances all indicate his strong feelings for Cathy. During the three years’ separation, Cathy misses Heathcliff and also hates him for his leaving alone without saying a word. And she marries Edgar even though she does not love him, for a part of the reason is to take revenge on Heathcliff, while the main reason is her nature of selfishness. Even at the end of her life, she blames that it is Heathcliff who murders her as she says: “You and Edgar have broken my heart”, and “You have killed me” (Bronte, 2020: 129). Though she loves Heathcliff as herself and can not suffer the bitterness when they parts, but at the same time, it is herself who has parted the two only because she wants to have。
