e this time. Catherine, at last!’ ”(Gao p33) this shows how Heathcliff tastes the bitterness of his lost love. His love for Catherine is expressed simple, honestly brevity but full of fervid love. In chapter sixteenth, he curses Catherine for the pain. She has caused him and pleads with her spirit to haunt him for the rest of his life. She may take any form, he says, and even drives me mad as long as I am living. He goes on to say “may you not rest as long as I am living! You said I killed you ---haunt me, then!” “Be with me always---take any form ---drive me mad! Only do not leave me in this abyss, where I can’t find you!”(Gao p218)Although in this chapter, there are no definite words to represent Heathcliff’s love, it is nonetheless known and deeply rooted in their hearts, never losing their passion. Because of the strength of his love for Catherine, Heathcliff undertakes his wicked and vengeful revenge against those deems responsible for his misery
Heathcliff comes from the lower class and because of this, the Linton family makes him feels unworthy of her. Catherine seeks a more genteel life therefore betraying their love. When Heathcliff heard that “It would degrade me to marry Heath cliff now”(Gao p102). He withdraws in a rage of shame, humiliation, and despair. Three years later, Heathcliff comes back with power and money, he is longing for meeting Catherine, at this time he begins to do an elaborate plan for revenge. But his cruel and harmful behavior comes from the pain of his love .He becomes a fiend, a demon, toward every person around him .He ruins Hindley [Catherine’s brother] by tricking him and therefore, taking possession of Wuthering Heights. He also ends Hareton’s [Hindley’s son] education after Hindley died, and then elopes with Isabella [Lintion’s sister], after she is ill-treated by him. Likewise, Heathcliff uses Isabella to revenge Edgar. “His malevolence proves so great and long—lasting that it can’t be adequately explained even as a desire for revenge”(Liu p34) Without Catherine , he lost his sense of life , revenge replaces love , and become the driving force behind his actions. However, who strips his love? What does twist his humanity? But the deep-rooted love didn’t disappear at all. Heathcliff tries to recapture the spirit of Catherine in his desire to rejoin her. He even opens her coffin, Heathcliff says “I saw her face again”. The many signs of Catherine show that “she did exist” but that “I have lost her”.
When Heathcliff fulfills his revenge, he finds that the primary pleasure is no longer within him. He begins to give up his revenge, wanting only to be with Catherine. The humanity of his love arises again, love for Catherine eroding his lust for revenge. In Heathcliff’s life, he sees Catherine’s shadow everywhere. He is bound to Catherine. They shared one soul, longing to become one unit. Heath cliff becomes more and more obsessed with the memories of Catherine, begins to talking with her ghost .Remembering his climactic night on the moors , he feels so happy and anticipates a reunion with her ghost .Two opened souls become one .Heathcliff’s feeling of revenge for his lost love ,eventually ,return to the original source. In the end, Humanity’s love wins driving his life from this point onward.
