Can't like Cathy

Clotilde 2022-10-02 03:02:02

There's a plot in the book, the movie wasn't that annoying

Cathy yells rudely to let Nelly out when Edgar comes to visit.

In the novel, Cathy scolded, pinched, and slapped Nelly in front of Edgar, and then slapped Edgar... Seeing such a violent heroine, it was strange that Edgar proposed to her soon after... Maybe kind Want to be a savior? Then, in the novel, in front of the Linton family, Cathy is still very dignified, and when she returns to Wuthering Heights, she beats and scolds her servants, which is very rude. This can be called hypocrisy.

Miss Elizabeth, a well-educated lady who grew up in the "civilized world" Thrushey Villa, ran away with the male protagonist without any struggle and hesitation. She was even wilder than the female protagonist. The female protagonist said that if a woman loses her dignity, she loses everything. Although unreasonable, the artwork itself does not need to be so reasonable

Wuthering Heights quotes

  • Heathcliff: What's that? There's a look in your eyes. My God, I think it's guilt. You've been with him, haven't you? You've laid with Edgar, haven't you?

    Cathy: He's my husband.

    Heathcliff: As if your pretend marriage matters to me? How am I to look at you? How am I to touch you now that his milky feeble hands have held you as I'm holding you now, you disgust me.

  • Heathcliff: Going somewhere?

    Cathy: Where would I go, my love? It's raining.

    Heathcliff: Yet you have that silk frock on, my love.

    Heathcliff: Someone coming here, perhaps?

    Cathy: Perhaps.

    Heathcliff: Edgar Linton?

    Cathy: [freeing her head from Nellie's fussing hands] I said enough, Nellie... Let me alone!

    Heathcliff: [slowly walking towards Cathy] Three months ago we lay together yet since then every evening is spent with the Lintons!

    Cathy: Perhaps I find Edgar easier company. Perhaps he doesn't talk of curses and fall into a brooding silence.

    Heathcliff: So you dislike my company?

    Cathy: It's no company at all when people know nothing and say nothing.

    Heathcliff: [hurt, and giving away as much] Yeah... There. At last you said that I am no longer worthy of you.

    Heathcliff: [bitterly] I say, may you suffer for this.

    Cathy: [holding back tears] So I am cursed too, am I?

    Heathcliff: No, I am the one that is truly cursed. I was cursed the moment I laid eyes on you.
