Okay, completely forgot to to this until Kody Bell mentioned it to me at hockey. So, there are two quotes I found that I thought would be worthy of mentioning. My first quote is in chapter 15 when Heathcliff comes to visit Catherine right before she dies.
“Well might Catherine deem that heaven would be a land of exile to her, unless with her mortal body she cast away her mortal character also.” I wasn’t completely sure what to make of this quote, but it seemed to mean that Catherine probably thought that heaven would be exile unless she completely through away who she was. Do you think this has to do with her being apart from Heathcliff? What do you make of this?

The second quote I thought i should mention is in chapter 16 after Heathcliff finds that Catherine is dead.

“He dashed his head against the knotted trunk; and, lifting up his eyes, howled, not like a man, but like a savage beast getting goaded to death with knives and spears.” This struck me as creepy and insane. If Heathcliff loved Catherine so much, how could he bear to be away from her for several years? This reaction also struck me as odd because I’m pretty sure most people would just cry, not slam their head into a tree and howl.
