I apologize for such a delay on my blogs. I admit it is a bit difficult to stay focused on the book, but the chapters I’ve read were able grab my attention. There have been some emotional quotes that any person that have suffered from unrequited love can relate to.
As we last let off Mr. Earnshaw has past away. Hindley returned home for the funeral with his wife. His wife, Frances, seems to be a bit of a silly women that doesn’t see to take much seriously. Although it has been years since Hindley has been away from Heathcliff, he still seems to have a grudge on him. During the rest of chapter 6 Heatthcliff told Nelly about Catherine being unable to return home after there trip to Thrushcross Grange to observe Edgar and Isabella Linton. Fortunately Catherine was taken inside Thrushcross Grange by a servant to heal her bitten ankle.
Catherine returns in chapter 7 five weeks later. During her time in Thrushcros Grange Catherine seem to have transformed into a graceful women. Meanwhile Hindley have taken control over Heathcliff. Because of this Heathcliff’s feelings are constantly being wounded as he feels lower than the Lintons and never had the opportunity to bond with Catherine. Heathcliff confides to Nelly it is here where my favorite quotes are found. As Nelly tries to cheer up Heathcliff, he replies with qutes that every unwanted person has said. “If I knocked him down twenty times, that wouldn’t make him less handsome or me more so. I wish I had light hair and a fair skin, and was dressed and behaved as well, and had a chance of being as rich as he will be!”
I love this quote because honestly, I felt like I was the only one that thought like that. After reading this I am curious to see what Heathcliff will do to win back Catherine and get his revenge on Hindley.
