Passage 1
“What now?” said Catherine, leaning back, and returning his look with a suddenly clouded brow—her humor was a mere vane for constantly varying caprices. “You and Edgar have broken my heart, Heathcliff! And you both come to bewail the deed to me, as if you were the people to be pitied! I shall not pity you, not I. You have killed me—thriven on it, I think. How strong you are! How many years do you mean to live after I am gone?”
Heathcliff had knelt on one knee to embrace her; he attempted to ri, but she ized his hair, and kept him down.
“I wish I could hold you,” she continued, bitterly, “till we were both dead! I shouldn’t care what you suffered. I car e nothing for your sufferings. Why
shouldn’t you suffer? I do! Will you forget me—will you be happy when I am in the earth?
Will you say twenty years hence, That’s the grave of Catherine Earnshaw. I loved her long ago, and was wretched to lo her; but it is past. I’ve loved many others since—my children are dearer to me than she was, and, at death, I shall not rejoice that I am going to her, I shall be sorry that I must leave them!’ Will you say so, Heathcliff?.”
“Don’t torture me till I’m as mad as yourlf,” cried he, wrenching his head free, and grinding his teeth.
