【正文】 or Heathcliff and myself, being of the lower orders”. But soon she found that it was not feasible, Heathcliff and Linton were irreconcilable. Heathcliff would never be able to betray his “class”, although he had been a gentleman。 and Linton would never accept Heathcliff, and it’s the same case when they were young. However, Catherine had changed, and only she had changed. Catherine goes against her own class, because she39。s selfish and vanity. Love39。s basic featuresLove has its own basic features. If it goes against its features, love is only an empty appearance even it exists. Catherine and Heathcliff go against the unspoken rules, so tragedy is inevitable. Love39。s basic features: 1. Specificity. It means that the third one is to be rejected. Catherine is closed to Edgar, hoping to improve Heathcliff’s status. Catherine failed to transcend secular world and married Edgar. “If I marry Linton, I can aid Heathcliff to rise, and place him out of my brother39。s power”, So absurd! It goes against the unity of her soul and love, so her love is doomed to tragedy. 2. Equality. Love needs the equal. The time limitation makes the love perfect under the condition of equal status and class. Catherine can take a rational choice, but she can39。t choose the marriage from the angle of love. She can only choose one who has the same identity and status as her. The man is Edgar. For Heathcliff, the low class, it’s too unequal. Author arranged Heathcliff es back home after he owns much money, however, he lost love, leaving the sad zero, after his revenge, it is still a sad zero. He got a perfect zero.3. Strong feelings. At this point, it39。s no doubt that their feelings are very strong, just like Catherine said “because he39。s more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same。 and Linton39。s is as different as a moonbeam from lightning, or frost from fire”, but they didn39。t burst through class and status. Love bees their poison.4. Persistence. The content contains love and marriage. We can say their love last and meet in the heaven. But they had the spiritual tortured when they lived in the world, therefore, tragedy is inevitable. Analysis from love and marriage angleThey had no good material and the equal class identity. Although they had the unified character, their ideal is too far from the other. Catherine got married to Edgar and her motivation is to increase Heathcliff39。s status. However, Catherine39。s choice betrayed Heathcliff. Therefore, their love went against. The love is doomed to a tragedy. Even though Catherine married Heathcliff, it was impossible to make their love e true. Love is selfish and short. However, Marriage is different. It needs the two to have long dependency to confront the difficulties. Marriage must have some real life. Marriage is giving and bearing responsibility. Due to the inner selfish and vanity, Catherine didn39。t undertake responsibility and she abandoned Heathcliff, so they are tragedy. Catherine and Heathcliff39。s love is just based on the emotions, in a word。 the love is doomed to tragedy.Ⅴ. ConclusionWuthering Heights contained Emily’ whole thoughts and feelings, and it included her whole creativity and genius. She exerted unique idea and moving plot on Wuthering Heights to show a love story that contains abundant passion, sublime love and plicated figure character. It described the heroes lived for love and died for love successfully. In the story, we can understand their anguish, which contains Catherine’s torment, Heathcliff’s depressed pain and their struggling soul in their pain. Although Catherine dared to break through the class inequality to love Heathcliff, she didn’t plete it perfectly. When Edgar proposed to her, it was satisfied with her vanity. While her heart was filled with contradictory: she realized that she loved Heathcliff, however, she also like Edgar39。s property, social status and cultural superiority. Eventually she couldn39。t restraint her own vanity and married to Edgar. This is the tragedy of Catherine. Catherine39。s betrayal and Heathcliff39。s distortion after his repeated revenge are tragedy. The cruel social reality makes them lost their mind. Because of this, the love has its tragedyfrom the society, from the distortion of character. Works CitedEmily, Bronte. Wuthering Heights.
