摘要:In Victorian Times , the system of social class was prevailing . People’s thoughts were contorted . But at that time , Emily had the self—consciousness about women . In modern times , women play more and more important roles in the society .
erself 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 . When she was ill, she yearned for Heathcliff and the life in Wuthering Heights . Even when she was dying , who she wanted to meet was still Heathcliff , on the contrary , she didn’t remember Edgar clearly.
From these unreasonable plots , we can see that Catherine is an emotional person . She preferred her sensibility to her sense . If she could calm down and choose to marry the person who she really loved , I think , for her sensibility , she would not regret her choice .
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 .
During the time that her servant Nelly was ill , Cathy “behaved like an angle”(Emily, 2004:284) and kept Nelly company and took care of her .Unfortunately , her father was ill at the same time . So she was busy to keep her father company as well as Nelly . Her days were completely divided into two parts—to her father and Nelly , and she didn’t leave a second for herself . Because of Linton , she secretly met him after taking care of Nelly in the evening . The purpose that she didn’t let them know was that she didn’t want them to worry about her .
Cathy loved her father very much . When her father was ill , she felt sad and once said to Nelly:
I care for nothing in comparisons with papa . And I’ll never—never—oh , never , I have my senses , do an act or say a word to vex him . I love him better than myself , Ellen ; and I know it by this— I pray every night that I live after him ; because I would rather be miserable than that he should be: that proves I love him
