Catherine Compare And Contrast Edgar And Neilly

As a consequence of Heathcliff's visit to the Grange, Edgar's sister Isabella falls in love with him, and her feelings seem to be sincere. In this one-sided love affair Heathcliff takes advantage of the innocent girl's infatuation to foster his obsession for revenge. (Isabella is her brother's heir). Catherine's reaction is very hard to interpret. It is natural that she is jealous, if she still feels the same for him as before, and that may be the reason why she dissuades Isabella from marrying Heathcliff. But the words she uses, telling her what an abominable creature Heathcliff is, are not the sort you expect to hear from someone talking of a sweetheart. Later on when her husband and Heathcliff are having a quarrel, she stops Edgar from hurting her friend . There is an excess of emotion, and her explanation to this behaviour is that she wants them both, Edgar and Heathcliff: "Well, if I cannot keep Heathcliff for my friend - if Edgar will be mean and jealous, I'll try to break their hearts by breaking my own" (109).Her love for Heathcliff has not cooled down, instead it seems to be a stronger obsession than ever considering the torments she goes through, when she becomes seriously ill.The last time Catherine and Heathcliff see each other is a very heart-rending meeting. Their love for each other is as strong as ever, and Heathcliff

Though he has always been portrayed as wily and somber, he is more so in the latter half of the book than ever. Because of his refusal to change, he causes himself to become nothing more than a remorseful, bitter man. Lastly, Edgar is the one who is demanded to change. While the other characters are given a choice as whether to become someone else, Edgar is forced to change because of his surroundings and involvement with Cathy. At the beginning of the novel, he is described as cheerful and kind; he is also Cathy’s only window into a life that she wishes to have. For instance, the author states, “… he was too good to be thoroughly unhappy long… he recalled her memory with ardent, tender love, and hopeful aspiring to the better world…” (p. 180). In this statement, it is quite clear that Edgar is grieving. He is forced to change his outlook because of Cathy’s passing, and because of this, he changes for the better. Though his mourning may alter him, he finds himself in a better state than before. This is shown by how he is able to move on and accept that he must change to move

Edgar and Heathcliff are completely opposite throughout the story, and that is displayed in this passage. Edgar had a good upbringing and his family was wealthy which is passed on to him, whereas Heathcliff was a servant which clearly means that he was poor. Due to his family’s wealth, Edgar was raised with servants who treated him kindly, resulting in him growing up to be a kind and caring man—Heathcliff was often treated poorly by his master, resulting in him becoming a vengeful and abusive man. Edgar’s caring personality and his wealth prompts Catherine to choose Edgar over Heathcliff.

Through her family’s wealth, she has a very high social status. She is childhood friends with Heathcliff as they both enjoy being with each other. Her relationship with Heathcliff comes to an abruptly halt when she stays with the Linton’s for her heel to heal. While she is there, she underwent training to be lady like for the era she is in. Her love grows for Edgar while she is at the Earnshaw’s. Catherine comes to grasp she couldn’t marry Heathcliff as it would be degrading herself. “It would degrade me to marry Heathcliff, now; so he shall never know how I love him; and that, not because he’s handsome, Nelly, but because he’s more myself than I am” (81). Even though she feels like Heathcliff is her star crossed lover, her pride stops her from loving Heathcliff so she has to marry

The culture of set societal rules and conventions urges Catherine to be with Edgar, compelling her to be ‘the greatest woman of the neighbourhood’ due to them being relatively firm in their gentry’s status. This suggests the importance of her social status against the nature of her love for Heathcliff stating, ‘we would be beggars’, through employing the word ‘beggars’ the reader crafts the idea of her belief that she won’t survive without her status. Catherine admits ‘It would degrade me to marry Heathcliff now; so he shall never know how I love him’ Thus implying a swelling sense of her vanity and pride; enough to enjoy the position she gains from being married to Edgar despite her admiration for Heathcliff, being ‘more than (herself) than (she is)’and

After Catherine died, Heathcliff beseeched her to stay with him and haunt him. He is a self-centered human being, and desires Catherine to be with him even after death. Edgar on the other hand didn't beg for Catherine to haunt him, for he was looking forward to their time together in the afterlife. This proves Heathcliff’s selfishness to needing Catherine with him, and also confirms the fact that Edgar is the one that would unconditionally love Catherine forever. Heathcliff selfishly only wanted Catherine for himself, he visited Catherine’s coffin and removed the blond lock of hair which belongs to Edgar and threw it to the floor, then taking his own and placing it in.

In the start of Catherine’s marriage to Edgar, Catherine attempts to assert her demanding personality on the soft-spoken Edgar. However, Edgar was untouched by this. During a heated confrontation between Heathcliff and Edgar, Catherine attempts to goad Edgar into being more savage just as Heathcliff. She taunts him into fighting Heathcliff “If you have not courage to attack him, make an apology, or allow yourself to be beaten” (Bronte 119). After this episode, Catherine ends up locking herself in her room for three days with the hope that Edgar would be wild and passionate, again, like Heathcliff, and Edgar remains resilient and shows his control by retreating to his study and paying her no heed. Catherine’s love for Heathcliff and Edgar’s

Furthermore, when Heathcliff returns, Catherine should take no interest in trying to rekindle her feelings for him as Edgar had been putting in effort to make their marriage work 'Mr. Edgar had a deep-rooted fear of ruffling her humour' Up until this scene the couples were getting along and if Catherine had concealed her zealous behaviour towards Heathcliff then the calm atmosphere would have remained. Catherine rudely ignores her husband's presence to the extent that he demands the disrespectful behaviour to be stopped and a decision made 'Will you give up Heathcliff hereafter, or will you giver up me? It is impossible for you to be my friend and his at the same time…' Indeed, Edgar is right to put Catherine's in this difficult situation because any other typical husband at the time would have been less patient with Catherine or banned Heathcliff from the house at an earlier stage. Catherine struggles because the two men in her life represent two types if world and she cannot have both at the same time.

I would recommend Coach needs to continue to explore new technologies such as social networking websites as a cost effective consumer communication opportunity to increase online and store sales and build brand awareness. As part of Coach’s direct marketing strategy, the growing number of entering to the Coach’s websites provide an opportunity to increase the size of databases of each country’s households.

The location of the moors between the two houses, reflects the idea of nature vs. nurture. Catherine has been brought up her entire life as being free and living without much of a refined attitude. As the story continues and she meets the Lintons she is nurtured to become rigid in her morals and values. Despite her appearance and outer personality changing, she still remains the one to think about the advantages for her in a situation; for example, she is still a selfish person in choosing Edgar over Heathcliff. Paralleling this, is the situation of Heathcliff who had always been scorned and had learned to develop hatred towards others.

Edgar Linton, normally gentle, also uses physical violence when he fights with Heathcliff over Catherine Earnshaw, now his wife Catherine Linton. Like Hindley, Edgar does not realize that violence cannot produce love. His fight with Heathcliff results in Catherine’s insanity and her eventual death. Catherine, too, is not flawless. When Nelly, under Hindley’s orders, chaperones Edgar’s visit with Catherine Earnshaw, Catherine is furious and strikes Nelly. When her nephew Hareton weeps at this abusive display, Catherine seizes the child and shakes him. She then strikes Edgar when he tries to stop her. The root of Catherine’s violence is not the same as the one that plague Hindley and Edgar: she does not physically hurt her family because she wants to be loved. She feels that she is already loved by everyone, but she

Catherine does marry Edgar because she lets the concept of being superior or better than those of the lower class make the decision for her instead of her heart. Social class break up relationships and prevent them from occurring in the novel, creating many complications throughout the novel, therefore developing the overall message of the novel. On page 45 it says, “… instead of a wild, hatless little savage jumping into the house, and rushing to squeeze us all breathless, there 'lighted from a handsome black pony a very dignified person, with brown ringlets falling from the cover of a feathered beaver, and a long cloth habit…”, expressing how Catherine’s character has shifted and suggests that she has adopted the manners of upper class individuals, appearing superior to the degraded Heathcliff. This is significant because it is the beginning of another negative relationship centering around

Mrs. Nelly Dean seemed to not think very highly of Catherine any circumstance. Nelly would never come right out and say something blatantly mean about Catherine but there were always underlying disparagement of her actions. An example of Mrs. Dean's disdain of Catherine is through her thoughts about Catherine’s different love affairs and actions. She never agreed with the way she strung the two poor boys along and how she could be so self absorbed through it all.

The disorderly atmosphere of Wuthering Heights, generated by Heathcliff’s raucous behavior causes Catherine to gravitate towards a more uncivilized and mannerless version of herself. Several times, Catherine snaps at others and throws furious tantrums, as she scolds and even slaps Nelly for cleaning in Edgar’s prescence. The rambunctious setting of Wuthering Heights conjures a different Catherine, where, “to pracise politeness...would only be laughed at,” influencing her to act on rebellious
