Puppy Love or True Love? By: Aren Dabaghian

Puppy Love or True Love? By: Aren Dabaghian

In the novel, Wuthering Heights, Emily Bronte has written and depicted the imagery of Heathcliff living with the Earnshaws. Emily descriptively describes the harsh life that Heathcliff goes through when Mr. Earnshaw passes away, and Wuthering Heights is controlled by Mr. Hindley. Through these harsh times for Heatcliff, Catherine was gone with the Lintons because she was being healed from the bite of their guard dog. The books controversial issue is that if Heathcliff had a real love towards Catherine, or was it just puppy love throughout the whole book. Through these lonely times, I believe that Heathcliff was truly in love with Catherine because he had showed his love through his emotions, speech, and thoughts.

 

            During the times that Heathcliff was with Catherine he would always be happy because he felt united and close to Cathy. Both of them would always laugh during the sermons that Joseph gave because they believed his sermons were really amusing and funny. They would always run away from Wuthering Heights to play at the open land together and be together as much as they can, so Hindley couldn’t separate them. One time they went to go to the Linton’s Thrushcross Grange, to spy on them and make fun of them. Catherine was so amazed by all the beautiful equipment that Thrushcross Grange had, and all the pretty clothes they wore. But Heathcliff seeing this said “I’d not exchange, for a thousand lives, my condition here, for Edgar Linton’s at Thrushcross Grange” Heathcliff just showed that his love with Catherine is so bountiful and real that he doesn’t even want to live in luxury, as long as he is with Catherine he felt warm and unified. Even when Heathcliff was all alone he had lost part of his life, Catherine, he wanted to always see Catherine in front of him. Heathcliff said to Nelly “She is so immeasurably superior to them – to everybody on earth, is she not Nelly? Heathcliff would ask Nelly how Catherine was feeling at Thrushcross Grange. From all these quotes and written work by Emily Bronte shows Heathcliff’s love growing through his emotions, speech, and thoughts, and this is what I call true love!

 

Thrushcross Grange my Home!

To be honest I rather be in Thrushcross Grange because I like all the fancy, clean, equipment, and good environment. I like all the manners that Thrushcross Grange has, because it keeps the house stabilized and under control unlike, Wuthering Heights. I like how Thrushcross  is enclosed and keeps danger away, and it shows its protection and care for it's people living at Thruchcross Grange. The dog that the Lintons have, Skulker, also shows the protection that Thrushcross Grange has for it's people.  I adore all the beautiful furniture, gold ceilings, antiques. One of the quotes that shows Thrushcross Grange's beauty "Carpeted with crimson, crimson-covered chairs and tables, and a pure white ceiling bordered by gold." All these beautiful clothes that they wear makes you look good, which is also a good  thing, because some people judge you by how you look and what you wear. The way they treated people was also very polite. This quote shows how they treated their intruder, Catherine when she was bitten by Skulker  "Afterward they dried and combed her beautiful hair, and gave her a pair of enormous slippers, wheeled her to the fire; and I left her, as merry as she could be, dividing her food between the little dog and Skulker." You can tell that Catherine was treated like a princess. My opinion is that I would live in Thrushcross Grange because of their politeness, manners, and beautiful clothing and furniture

Heathcliff

Arrgh! I hate Mr. Hindley he is always trying to separate Catherine and I from each other , because he is the new master of Wuthering Heights when Mr. Earnshaw died.I am in love with Catherine and I always want to be with her, but after she had gotten injured by , Skulker, the Linton's dog. I have never seen her until she came back in 5 weeks. All dressed up in that stupid fancy dress, what happened to her? She has changed! My dear Cathy doesn't even want to touch me beacause I am so dirty. I won't be laughed at in front of everyone. I like to be dirty and not clean. Catherine has changed it's like she doesn't even notice me for some reason. I have kept a calender that shows how much she is spending time with me instead of those damn rich Edgar rich Linton. I even told her, but instead she mocked me for being boring and dull, and that Cathy said that she doesn't have to sit with me everyday. This upset me, I'm infuriated.  I just want my old Cathy back, I love her, but those damn Lintons and Hindley. Come back to me Catherine!!!
