Impossible Love
Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights is a novel about the thwarted love of Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, and the cruel suffering Heathcliff inflicts on all involved in their separation. ... Earnshaw, Heathcliff falls into an intense, unbreakable love with Mr. ... Because Catherine’s love differs for Heathcliff and Linton. Of Linton she says:
I love the ground under his feet and the air over his head, and everything he touches, and every word he says - I love all his looks and all his actions, and him entirely , and altogether.
This, however, proves how shallow her love for him is, because she does not seem to love him, rather she loves all that is around him. Her love for Heathcliff is fundamental and unchanging, whereas her feelings for Linton are as changeable as the seasons:
My love for Linton is like the foliage in the woods. Time will change it, I’m well aware, as winter changes the trees - my love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneath - a source of little visible delight, but necessary. ...
A child could explain the concept of love, it is something simple and straightforward. However, as we grow older and things become classified, love becomes something incredibly complex and incomprehensible. ... intends the reader to condemn these lovers as blameworthy or to idealize them as romantic heroes whose love transcends social norms and conventional morality. The book is actually structured around two parallel love stories, the first half of the novel centering on the love between Catherine and Heathcliff, while the less dramatic second half features the developing love between young Catherine and Hareton. ... The differences between the two love stories contribute to the readers understanding of why each ends the way it does.
The most important feature of young Catherine and Haretons love story is that it involves growth and change. ... When young Catherine first meets Hareton he seems completely alien to her world, yet her attitude also evolves from contempt to love.
Catherine and Heathcliffs love, on the other hand, is rooted in their childhood and is marked by the refusal to change. Catherine and Heathcliffs love is based on their shared perception that they are identical. ...
It seems to be a simple love story of two suffering souls - Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw. But this love can hardly exist in reality - its a fantasy of Emily Bront? ... By her own words she had fallen in love with him.
