When Earnshaw dies, Hindleywho by the patriarchal laws of primogeniture bees heir and head of the housejoins Joseph in the oppression of Catherine and Heathcliff by insisting on their separation. They rebel to scamper on the moors, until they reach Thrushcross Grange and the Linton’s watchdog bites Catherine。“that I believe I might kill him, and he wouldn’t wish to retaliate.” Rarely if ever is Catherine described as a loving person, one who is willing to give the self freely to another?！發(fā)ike a child reviving” aptly suggests the adolescent spirit of the woman’s rebellion, a fatal result of Catherine’s last scene of mad resolution. Her immatureThat she never sees herself realistically also accelerates her tragic love. She has notions of superiority and selfimportance that can be justified only in terms of her exceptionally passionate nature and her extraordinary bond to her Heathcliff. Catherine’s immature and narrow vision cannot imagine that she is not the central concern in everybody else’s life. It is almost an epiphany when she says to Nelly, she ultimately brings about her own death. She begs Nelly to tell Edgar she is“I demand it!” is, in fact, Catherine’s favorite expression, and pletely consistent with the adolescent determination to have everything. Her selfcentrednessHer narcissism is another element to cause her tragic love. Catherine’s disregard for othersall others, except her otherself, Heathcliffhas a cruel, manipulative quality that takes pleasure in deceitfulness and in“He will be rich, and I shall be the greatest woman of the neighborhood, and I shall be proud to have such a husband,”8 She tells Nelly Dean. Catherine’s selfish and shortsighted attitude toward marriage is an indicative of her childish sensibilities. It is well to ask why she marries Edgar at all, considering her feelings for Heathcliff。 Catherine is held by the Grange’s soft restrains, trapped by the limitations of moral life, by her nature, her society, and her physical body, by that shattered prison which binds her to this world. At the end of the story, Catherine said that she did not know herself in the mirror. From this she realized that she, as adults, as the mistress of Thrushcross Grange, is not the same one as the little Catherine who is wild, vigorous, headstrong and untamed“then what right had you to leave me? What rightanswer mefor the poor fancy you felt for Linton? Because misery, and degradation, and death, and nothing that God or Satan could inflict would have parted us, you, of your own will, did it. I have not broken you hart. Critics concur that, by marrying Edgar, Catherine betrays herself as well as Heathcliff, which creates an emotion unrest that prevents her from finding contentment as Edgar’s wife. When Catherine and Heathcliff attempt to resume their friendship after wedding, Edgar’s jealous response leads to a violent confrontation between the two men. This confrontation sends Catherine into a delirious rage, which is followed by a severe illness and eventually death.. What follows for Catherine after Heathcliff’s departure is illness and resignation. In the period of her convalescence, Mrs. Linton invites her to the Grange. not seeing it dimly through tears, and yearning for it through the walls of an aching heart?！甤hains’’, and‘‘the unselfconscious intensity of childlike emotions’’.

By marrying Edgar, Catherine betrays herself as well as Heathcliff.“it was beautifula splendid place carpeted with crimson and crimsoncovered chairs and tables and a pure white ceiling bordered by gold….”3During her first visit to Thrushcross Grange, she eats the foods and wears the dress here. The taming of Catherine has began, which will bring her to leave behind her rough girlhood ways and take up manners and clothing that require inhibited motion and artificial posturing‘‘singing, laughing, and playing with everybody who would do the same’’.
