happy 4/20 catherine

"While one hates to reduce such a complex novel to a fable about a girl who refuses to grow up, it is Cathy herself who dreams of being back "home" at Wuthering Heights, a twelve-year-old again, so that "the whole last seven years of my life grew a blank." Her great description of that dream concludes, "I wish I were a girl again." While that is not possible, Cathy does the next best thing and perhaps even a better thing: she dies and in the process gives birth to herself, or at least to another little girl named Cathy who will relive her mother's life but choose, when the time comes, to grow up".

From ""Wuthering Heights and its "Spirit"" by Michael Popkin

"Perhaps even a better thing" sounds so sinister to me. A woman has to die if she made a mistake and is tainted by that mistake, and has to be reborn as her own pure, virginal, untainted daughter who will make the right choice.

Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy

Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.

Be with me always - take any form - drive me mad!

Currently reading Wuthering Heights so brainrot sketch

Book covers for Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights (1847)

My love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneath: a source of visible delight, but necessary.

WUTHERING HEIGHTS, 2009 dir. coky giedroyc .

I'm against the world-

I love gratuitous acts of love and stupidity and obsession. Like, Mary Shelley losing her virginity to her man on her mother's grave in a churchyard and then keeping his preserved heart after her died? Metal. Heathcliff digging up Catherine's grave and forcing her to haunt him since he refuses to live without her? Iconic. Romeo and Juliet’s double suicide after three days of burning teenage passion? Felt.

(55) alternate universe where this happens instead.

What is this genre of character called. Byronic heroine. Byronic villainess. Some secret crazier third thing, we will never know.

What we do know is that they would get along great and make the most unhinged band ever.
