Cathy and Heathcliff of Wuthering Heights It appears to be a simple love story of two suffering souls: Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw. But this love can hardly exist in reality - it is a fantasy of Emily Bronte, she created an example of a true eternal passion - powerful and boundless. Only death seemed to be stronger than it. However, after the deaths of Cathy and Heathcliff, these similar souls came together... There's no doubt about it. Remember Heathcliff's words: Now you teach me how cruel you have been: cruel and false. Why did you despise me? Why did you betray your heart, Cathy? I don't have a word of comfort... You loved me, so what right did you have to leave me? What right... for the poor fantasy you have for Linton? Yes, according to Heathcliff, Cathy cheated on him, but not only him. She betrayed her heart, she betrayed herself. Perhaps this is the main problem or question touched upon in Wuthering Heights that is explored throughout the novel. Cathy and Heathcliff grew up together, Catherine - passionate and wild nature and Heathcliff - miserable poor, but with such a suffering and wounded heart and soul. They fell in love at first sight. They held each other, protected each other from Hindley's angry, boring sermons and Joseph's senile, religious moans. It seems to us that such a pure and childish affection must turn into something greater, so it began to happen, but suddenly we discover a new acting character: Edgar Linton, a rich young nobleman, attracts for a short time (I repeat, for a short time period) Catherine's attention. According to her own words she had fallen in love with him. Why? What had he found in this man? Were they that similar to him? It was H... in the center of the paper... over his heart. What then is Heathcliff's reaction? These are his words: ... and I pray a prayer - I repeat it till my tongue stiffens - Catherien Earnshaw, may you not rest as long as I live, you said I killed you - haunt me, then! This damnation is on his lips because of his terrible agony invoked by Catherine's death. If he can bear it? Such a process. He must have inhuman power to live. But he survived. He is alive and died many years later. And who were Cathy Earnshaw and Heathcliff? Absolutely inhuman creatures. On our earth there was no place for them, there was nothing for them to do, such bright and unforgettable people are very rarely met, and even if they are born, they suffer all their lives. Powerful personalities, restless souls and burning hearts. These people, perhaps, will not calm down after their death.
