is young and cheerful.”
“Bad , still.”
“And because he loves me.”
“Indifferent ,coming there.”
“And he will be rich , and I shall like to be the greatest woman of the neighbourhood , and I shall be proud of having a husband.” (Emily,2004: 91-92)
Catherine couldn’t find the reasonable explanations and answered why she loved Edgar . In fact , she didn’t love him at all , and her vanity drove herself to accept Edgar ,whereas who she loved all the same was Heathcliff . However , at the Victorian Period , a person was only judged by his economic status and social background . Influenced by the current society , Catherine was occupied by the vanity and married Edgar , regardless of the past passion for Heathcliff . From the latter plots , we can see who she really loved was Heathcliff, however , she couldn’t calm down at that time because she lacked of the sense .
When Heathcliff knew Catherine would like to marry Edgar , he left her . After three years , he appeared again and became a rich gentleman . Since Catherine became Edgar’s wife , her life seemed to be happy and harmonious . But when she met Heathcliff again , she was particularly excited and forgot her identity , even wanted Edgar to accept him . As Edgar’s wife , I think , she ought to respect his husband and care for his feelings . Just because of her strong sensibility , she ignored everything and still loved Heathcliff insanely .

Little Cathy was Catherine’s daughter . She had a good looking just like her mother . Unlike her mother, she had a kind heart and the genteel behavior . Edgar took “Cathy’s education entirely on himself ”(Emily, 2004: 220 ) when she was very young . So Cathy studied very hard and eagerly . She grew up under the surroundings of the adults , so she was always considerate to others . In fact , she was well educated under the surroundings of sense from childrenhood . Little Linton was her little cousin . The reason why she fell in love with him was that she thought she was elder and wiser than he , and she wanted to protect her little brother who was coward and frail . When Linton had a bad temper , she was always patient with him , told stories and shared jokes with him . She thought that he had the poor health , so she had the right to help him and give him her love .When she was prohibited to meet little Linton , she was very sad and seemed to make a mistake herself .
