Paragraph 1:
Catherine and Heathcliff long to be together but because Heathcliff has been degraded by Hindley, Catherine will not marry him. “It would degrade myself to marry Heathcliff now; so he shall never know how I love him; and that, not because he’s handsome, Nelly, but because he’s more myself than I am.” (Bronte 82) This quote shows that Catherine wants to be with Heathcliff but can’t because of the social status that separates them, Heathcliff is her true love but because of the treatment and almost racism that Heathcliff faced as a child they can’t be together. This is not fair to Heathcliff as he had no choice in where he was going in life, he just got pushed around and this is what makes him so angry and vengeful for the rest of his life.
Paragraph 2:
The image I selected shows a heart being pulled in two by two people. This represents Heathcliff and Catherine’s love and how they are the same person, but can’t be together and are separated. The image accurately shows this though the representation of a heart(The symbol for love) being pulled in two,showing that Catherine and Heathcliff are not able to be with one another,even though they want to be.
