Heathclif

Quote
Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest as long as I am living. You said I killed you--haunt me then.
The murdered do haunt their murderers. I believe--I know that ghosts have wandered the
earth. Be with me always--take any form--drive me mad. Only do not leave me in this abyss,
where I cannot find you! Oh, God! It is unutterable! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live
without my soul! (Bronte 163)
In this quote Heathcliff is telling her he knows that he hurt her, and because of that he wants her to
haunt him from the dead so that he can still live a life knowing shes in it. They have a connection
that no one can understand, theyd rather have pain of knowing they cant be together because
the pain is the only thing they have left, rather than just moving on and being happy. Him also
claiming that she is his soul shows how much of a connection the two have with each other.
