Wuthering Heights

Wuthering Heights

I have never seen such an impressive love notwithstanding it’s twisted and immoral. What Catherine once said remarks exactly the love between her and Heathcliff.

My love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneath: a source of little visible delight, but necessary. Nelly, I am Heathcliff! He's always, always in my mind: not as a pleasure, any more than I am always a pleasure to myself, but as my own being.

After the death of Catherine Heathcliff said something remarkably similar to what Catherine said about their love and the relationship between them. “I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!”

He missed her so much that he even dug the grave of Catherine just to sleep with her bones at night. After waging wars of revenge towards many people who he thought to have separated them, he eventually got tired of the world without Catherine and he might have realized if Catherine was still alive she would never wish to see him turn to evil. He left the Wuthering Heights forever and entered the eternity with Catherine. They may never be accepted by heaven for the wrong things they had done, yet when they are together nothing could separate them again even they would suffer in hell.

For a long time I have been wondered how much would a so called lover do for his or her soul mate.  Wuthering Heights gives me a satisfying answer. Whereas this answer seems too unrealistic and romantic, it does build up an outline of the contour of a perpetual love, though it fluctuates between love and hatred.

I love you not because of your beauty, but because you are my soul, and it is a fact that would not change whatever you do. I love you even not necessarily during your existence, and that love would last until my last breath.
