e’s love under the social culture
The heroine—Catherine is very ambivalent in her love .Due to human nature, she loves Heathcliff deeply with childlike passion, and her soul can’t live without him. But the social culture made her betray the love in order to satisfy her yearning for fame and wealth. She chooses Linton, hereby her love becomes a tragedy.
Catherine is crazy about Heath cliff. Their love is rooted in their childhood and is marked by the refusal to change and embrace those differences. Moreover, their love is based on their shared perception that they are identical, even their souls are shared by one. Catherine declares, “Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same”. (Gao p103) “I am Heathcliff!”(Gao p105) When she first comes back from Thrushcross Grange, she immediately realizes the impact that the social culture has had in her. Her heart becomes more complex and ambivalent. Catherine looks for Heathcliff, to embrace and kiss him, at the same time she is afraid about Heathcliff’s dirty clothe against her clean dress. She also treats her marriage like this. If she marries Heathcliff she will be a beggar. Even if she is well aware that without Heathcliff she can’t live, but the cruel reality helps her realize that marrying Linton will make her become the greatest woman in the area.

Social culture wins humanity in Catherine, but she was never happy at the civilized Thrushcross Grange, and found herself feeling empty without soul. And for the next seven years, Catherine coasted through life, living only in the past .Her soul so eager to meet Heathcliff’s soul. Ultimately, she is torn between her wild passion for Heath cliff and her social ambition. But the primitive love exceeds the cultural love, causes her miss the Wuthering Heights in sick. And before she dies, go into the bosom of Heathcliff. After she dies, her lonely ghost thirsts for coming back Wuthering Heights. She uses the melancholy voice sobs “Let me in —Let me in!”(Song p28)
Heathcliff’s love and hate
Heathcliff’s love is pure in intention and never changes. Like Catherine, he loves to run around on the moor. His love just has the human nature’s emotion without rank, culture .Heathcliff never says “love”, but his love stronger than hurricane, compare with cloudburst. He is filled with uncontrollable passion. In chapter third, he hears some sounds in Catherine’s room, “his agitation was so extreme, that he could hardly pick it up.”(Gao p30) Upon arriving at the bedroom, as Lockwood[the renter of Thrushcross Grange] flees from it, Heath cliff cries out to Catherine begging her to return.. “ ‘Come in !
