Emily Bronte is the author of Wuthering Heights.

 Cathy and Heathcliff are madly in love.  There love is always solid, but sometimes Cathy is blinded my materialistic things. Cathy says, " I have no more business to marry Edgar Linton than I have to be in heaven; and if the wicked man in there had not brought Heathcliff so low, I shouldn't have thought of it" (100).

 

 

 The book, Wuthering Heights, by Emily Bronte is a classic book.  It shows the difficulties of life in the older times.  It takes place back in the early 1800's.  Cathy Linton is married to Edgar Linton, but she never did love him.  She only married him for family honor, money, and to be the mistress of Thrushold Grange.  Cathy spoke of Heathcliff when she said, "Whatever out souls are made of, his and mine are the same, and Linton's is as different as a moonbeam from lightning, or frost from fire" (145).  Cathy is really in love with Heathcliff.   Naturally, this causes Edgar and Heathcliff to hate eachother.  Isabell Linton, Edgars sister, married Heathcliff out of blind love for him.  She didn't know anything about him, other than the fact that he recently became rich and was very good looking.  He did marry her, but only to spite Edgar, as well as gain control over The Thrushold Grange  and Wuthering Heights.  In the end Cathy died giving birth and Heathcliff begged her not to truly leave him, but to stay as a ghost and haunt him.  He was truly devestated.  Heathcliffs child dies early on in life and Cathy's ends up marrying Hareton, a minor character.  When Heathcliff died he was buried next to Cathy.  They can spend eternity together.

 

 

 Cathy promised Heathcliff to haunt him as long as he shall live.  Even though she is dead, her soul can always be with her lover.

 

 

 Heathcliff is devestated after finding out Cathy died during childbirth.  He begs her to haunt him forever, for he cannot live without her.  Without Cathy he is alone and without a heart.  Heathcliff and Nelly are talking to eachother saying, '"And what do you do when you hold her and she is cold?" asked Nelly.  "I shall imagine that the winds are what chills me and that she is in an eteranlly peaceful sleep.  I want her no matter the circumstances; if she decomposes into the ground, I shall decompose alongside her" (230).

 

 This is an old painting of Emily Bronte.

 

 When Cathy married Edgar all she had in mind was fancy clothes, fame, and money.  She later regretted that she didn't stay with the one person who could truly make her happy, Heathcliff.  Money and riches is nothing compared to love.  However, when Edgar first asked her hand in amrriage she accepted it and chose nto to marry Heathcliff,  In the book Cathy says, " It would degrade me to marry heathcliff now; so he shall never know how I love him: and that, not because he is handsom, Nelly, but because he's more myself than I am" (102).
 When I picture Thrushold Grange, where Cathy moved, I see a house kind of like this one.
