I’d as soon put that little canary into the park on a winter’s day, as recommend you to bestow your heart on him!…He’s not a rough diamond–a pearl-containing oyster of a rustic: he’s a fierce, pitiless, wolfish man (109). who says this

A

Catherine

114
Q

I recovered from my first desire to be killed by him-I’d rather he’d kill himself! He has extinguished my love effectually, and so I’m at my ease (182).

A

Isabella

115
Q

My old enemies have not beaten me; now would be the precise time to revenge myself on their representatives-I could do it, and none could hinder me. But where is the use? I don’t care for striking, I can’t take the trouble to raise my hand.

A

Heathcliff

116
Q

But the country folks, if you asked them, would swear on their Bible that he walks. There are those who speak to having met him near the church, and on the moor, and even within this house. Idle tales, you’ll say, and so say I. Yet that old man by the kitchen fire affirms he has seen two on ‘em looking out of his chamber window, on every rainy night since his death.

A

Heathcliff

120
Q

“I surveyed the weapon inquisitively. A hideous notion struck me: how powerful I should be possessing such an instrument! I took it from his hand, and touched the blade. He looked astonished at the expression my face assumed during a brief second: it was not horror, it was covetousness.”

A

Isabella

121
Q

“No, no! Even if he had doted on me, the devilish nature would have revealed its existence, somehow. Catherine had an awfully perverted taste to esteem him so dearly, knowing him so well - Monster! would that he could be blotted out of creation, and out of my memory!”

A

Isabella

122
Q

“And the best of it is, Hareton is damnably fond of me! You’ll own that I’ve outmatched Hindley there. If the dead villain could rise from his grave to abuse me for his offspring’s wrongs, I should have the fun of seeing the said offspring fight him back again, indignant that he should dare to rail at the one friend he has in the world!”

A

Heathcliff

123
Q

“Let him dare to force you … There’s law in the land, thank God! there is; though we be in an out-of-the-way place. I’d inform if he were my own son: and it’s felony without benefit of clergy!”

A

Nelly

124
Q

A

Cathy

125
Q

“Wuthering Heights is the name of Mr. Heathcliff’s dwelling. ‘Wuthering’ being a significant provincial adjective, descriptive o the atmospheric tumult to which its station is exposed in stormy weather.” (Bronte 2).

A

Lockwood

126
Q

‘You teach me now how cruel you’ve been - cruel and false. Why did you despise me? Why did you betray your own heart, Cathy? I have not one word of comfort. You deserve this.

A

Heathcliff

127
Q

” ‘Because they are a great deal higher up than we are,’ replied I; ‘you could not climb them, they are too high and steep. In winter the frost is always there before it comes to us; and deep into summer I have found snow under that black hollow on the north-east side!’”

A

Nelly to Cathy

128
Q

” ‘Catherine’s face was just like the landscape - shadows and sunshine flitting over it in rapid succession; but the shadows rested longer, and the sunshine was more transient; and her poor little heart reproached itself for even that passing forgetfulness of its cares.’” (Bronte 243)

A

Nelly

129
Q

” ‘Nelly, there is a strange change approaching: I’m in it’s shadow at present, I take so little interest in my daily life, that I hardly remember to eat and drink. Those two, who have left the room are the only objects which retain a distinct material apperance to me; and, that appearance causes me pain, amounting to agony. About her I won’t speak; and I don’t desire to think; but I earnestly wish she were invisible: her presence invokes only maddening sensations. He moves me differently: and yet if I could do it without seeming insane, I’d never see him again! You’ll perhaps think me rather inclined to become so,’ he added, making an effort to smile, ‘if I try to describe the thousand forms of past associations, and ideas he awakens, or embodies - But you’ll not talk of what I tell you; and my mind is so eternally secluded in itself, it is tempting, at last, to turn it out to another.’
