When I finished reading Wuthering Heights, I did feel a sense of complication filled with my heart. The characters in this book was lively undoubtedly, and them had quite complicated experiences. And I just want to share some of my feelings about them. Catherine represents wild nature, in both her high lively spirits and her occasional cruelty. She loves Heathcliff so intensely that she claims they are the same person. However her actions are driven in part by her social ambitions, which initially are awakened during her first stay at the Lintons and which eventually compelher to marry Edgar. Catherine is free--spirited, beautiful, spoiled, and often arrogant she is given to fits of temper, and she is torn between her both of the men who love her. The location of her coffin symbolizes the conflict that tears apart her short life. She is buried in a corner of the Kirkyard. In contrast to Catherine, Isabella Linton-Catherines sister-in-law represents culture and civilization, both in her refinement and in her weakness. Ultimately she ruins her life by falling in love with Heathcliff. He never returns her feelings and treats her as a meretool in his quest for revenge on the Linton family. Just as lsabella Linton serves as Catherines foil, Edgar Linton serves as Heathcliffs Edgar grows into a tender, constant, but cowardly man. He is almost the ideal gentleman. However this full assortment of gentlemanly characteristics, along with his civilized virtues, proves useless in Edgars clashes with his foil. He sees his wife obviously in love with another man but unable to do anything to rectify the situation. Heathcliff, who gains power over his wife, sister, and daughter. The whole story make peoples mood heavy. Fortunately, the end is happy.
