Mr. Earnshaw es under the influence of Joseph, the puritanical servant who many times in the novel Bronte portrays Catherine as a selfish, demanding, manipulative child.‘‘on a green slope, in a corner of the Kirk yard, where the wall is so low that heath and bilberry plants have climbed over it from the moor’’. Selfdestruction“Will you give up Heathcliff hereafter, or will you give up me? It is impossible for you to be my friend and his at the same time。“ an arid wilderness of furze and whinstone.’’ which betrays her own humanity. Critics concur that the unity of Catherine and Heathcliff is ultimately destroyed by her invasion of Grange manners and Grange opinion. Inevitably Heathcliff and Catherine grow further and further apart. There es the night when Heathcliff overhears Catherine saying,凱瑟琳“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 and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger: I should not seen a part of it. My love for Linton is like the foliage in the woods: time will change it. I’m well aware, as winter changes the trees.

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?!皌hat 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。the childhood oneness split asunder by gender distinctions that divide the self and the world into conflicting oppositesis resumed only in deaths, which is a return to their lost origins and to wholeness through immersion in primal nature. Yet, as Catherine and Heathcliff remain ever faithful, Bronte maintains the androgynous ideal in the mind of the reader.5. Social significance of this novelSo behind the tragic love of Catherine, there is a special social content of history. She, as a mon Victorian woman, lives in the concrete social environment of history, will inevitably walk from heights, embodying ownerpeasant institution, to grange, embodying as it does the prettier, more fortable side of bourgeois life. Her tragedy es into being under the special social content“ You, the eternal powers…the sentence remains 6. ConclusionFrom Catherine, we see the figure of Emily Bronte who would only e to herself moors. She would not reconcile herself with the society. In the eyes of the society, she was peculiar. Catherine, as a mon woman, speaks out Victorian women’s ambivalence in the mad sceneshe longs for freedom and her true herself. Whenever she wants to escape the shackles, those who put them on her will hold them tight and punish her painfully enough to make her surrender. Failing to gain her wholeness, Catherine refuses to eat. Her starvation shows a woman’s powerlessness. As a weak woman, she cannot win over the powerful society, so she takes to a suicidal action as a way to display her dignity.“unfit for a decent house,” while Catherine is detained for a number of weeks, until she is changed from a child into a socially acceptable young lady. The Lintons impress on her the importance of assuming the feminine role, and she willingly assumes it.
