Character Watcher Blog 3 Brett Pallas
As i said earlier in one of my comments I had thought that Catherine would come back to Mr. Heathcliff. Earlier in the story she did not treat him as she once had after going through her change. I believe that the change that Catherine was the start of a downward spiral. Later on she forces herself into a self tramatized emotional state. She is becoming more and more confused on if she married edgar for the right reasons. She still loves Mr Heathcliff.
I predict Catherine will eventually come back to Mr. Heathcliff in the end. Catherine’s love for Mr. Heathcliff is much to strong
Does anybody else agree with the prediction. If you disagree please comment what you think the outcome of the situation will be.

Yes Brett, I agree with you. While reading, I am getting the feeling that Catherine just married Edgar for the “good looks” and the money. Just because he has these qualities or possessions should not make him the automatic “prince”, for he is not her true love. She has obvious feelings for Mr. Heathcliff, for she is ecstatic when he returns after three years of disappearance. She has an emotional breakdown after Heathcliff leaves the house in the first place, and is confused about her feelings when he comes and goes a second time.
I think that Catherine will get together with Heathcliff in the end for, they are the equivalent of the high school sweethearts nowadays. They have been close since a young age and even though they have both gone through life changing experiences, they still have feelings for each other.

Brett, I agree with you as well. Catherine mentioned at one point that she loved both men, but that her love for Edgar would eventually dissapate, where as her love for Heathcliff would be eternal. On the other hand, I don’t think they will ever get together. Catherine may still have feelings for Heathcliff, but I don’t think Heathcliff still has the same feelings for her after what he overheard her saying. This is especially true when you think about how Heathcliff talked about getting revenge on Catherine.

I agree, too. Not only did she say she’d always love Heathcliff, but when Heathcliff is alone in the guest room of Wuthering Heights, he calls out to Catherine, and he obviously still loves her, even after death. I’m curious to see how they are at the end, and also what happens to Isabella and Edgar.
