Like Lockwood, Catherine assumes a superficially conventional gender role that locks her into limited forms of behavior and denies her true self. While confessing to Nelly that“I have such faith in Linton’s love,” she says,“…get away! And now I’ll cry myself sick!” and she proceeds to deliver a perfect fit of weeping which softens poor Edgar’s heart. Catherine never outgrows these willful displays of mad emotion, and by feigning a fit to arouse her husband’s concern。She has a distorted view on marriage. For example, Catherine looks at marriage as a means of achieving outward sophistication, as well as an escape from mental and emotional stagnation: Edgar is the man who will define her, who will shape her identity and give her status but, because she believes this herself, she thinks it safe for her to marry Edgar Linton: Heathcliff is within her soul. Therefore nothing can dislodge him. Nonetheless, it is clear from the way they wound one another that each is in continual need of reassurancesomething that occurs only between two separate people. Catherine thinks only of her reassurance of her own feelings. She does not consider Heathcliff’s need for proof of those feelings. She does not believe she needs to behave in accordance with her feelings, and so, blind to the meaning of her action, she marries Edgar. We can know this from what Heathcliff demands of her when she is dying.‘‘You love me’’, cries Heathcliff,‘‘I am tired, tired of being enclosed here. I am wearying to escape into that glorious world, and to be always there。 an exile, and outcast’’. She realizes that to be with Heathcliff is to remember her lost independence and freedom and what Thomas Vogler calls‘‘If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be。The leaving of Heathcliff really brings to Catherine deep sorrow and a serious illness.As a children, Catherine and Heathcliff on their escape peer into the house of Thrushcross Grange through the window that divides them from the Lintons.

IntroductionThroughout the nineteenth century, the British novel displayed an increasing degree of‘‘singing, laughing, and playing with everybody who would do the same’’. What she wanted most is her freedom, her true nature, her singing and playing, and her true self. Against the degradation Catherine and Heathcliff rebel, hurling their pious books into the dogkennel. And in their revolt they discover their deep and passionate need of each other. They recognize in each other their true humanity, their worth and dignity as human beings and their status in the munity. Only through this relationship can either of them feel the vital bond with existence, the sense of belonging, the human necessity for which is expressed in Catherine’s remark‘‘it would degrade me to marry Heathcliff now’’, and this brings the leaving of Heathcliff. By marrying Edgar, Catherine betrays herself as well as Heathcliff.‘‘was to keep her separate from him and I absolutely require to knowing which you choose”5.Choosing Healthcliff or Edgar, for Catherine, seems to choose her childhoodtrue self, or adult. Struggling between her childhood and adult, she now tells her of the‘‘chains’’, and. 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. 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“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“l(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.
