In the novel Wuthering Heights, Emily Brontë talks about two towns combined through a forced marriage. She explains that these characters form a big love triangle. These characters are Catherine, Edger, Cathy, Heathcliff, Isabella, Linton, Hareton and many others. The novel begins with these characters falling in love with each other. They end up being separated by an event that will change relationships not only between them but throughout the city. The novel therefore begins with Catherine who is madly in love with Heathcliff, owner of Thrushcross Grange. Heathcliff and Catherine were best friends as children. As they grew up, this friendship turned into love. Heathcliff and Catherine were caught spying on Edger's party. When they fled, Heathcliff escaped, but Catherine did not. She twisted her ankle trying to escape. “He sends you his love, mother [Catherine], and his wishes for happiness” (107). Heathcliff hopes that Catherine will forgive him for all the heartache she has endured. He feels bad and hopes that everything will go back to the way it was when he returns. Edger asked his people to help him and he made her stay with him while he healed her to help her. It is then that Catherine begins to think that she is falling in love with Edger. She sees how upper class life is and has money. She realizes this is what she wants. “I could imagine it being almost possible to love life here; and I had been an absolute unbeliever in all love for a year” (62). She is willing to fake love because she wants to be upper class and have money. She is even willing to sacrifice her love for Heathcliff for this. When Catherine returns from the barn, Edger and Isabella come to visit her. Cat...... middle of paper ......s and popularity. Catherine and Heathcliff therefore had a long and very eventful relationship. They are soul mates but only realize it after their death and end up happily in love in heaven because it was too late to realize their love for each other. Catherine was too stubborn and too in love with her life of money and social status to realize who her true love was. She realizes that she is not in love with Edger but with the money and social status they have together. So the towns are eventually combined when Cathy marries Linton (forcibly) and Linton dies, leaving Wuthering Heights to his father in his will. So Cathy can finally marry someone she wants to marry instead of being forced to. She marries Hareton at the end of the novel so we don't really know how the marriage went but assume they have a family and live happily ever after..
