Heathcliff tells
Edgar is buried next to Catherine. While the grave was being dug, Heathcliff persuades/pays the sexton to remove the earth from her coffin and he opens it. He replaces it to prevent decomposition and removes the side of her coffin (away from Edgar's position) and covers it up.
After Catherine's death in Wuthering Heights, Heathcliff begins a slow descent into madness. One after the other, everyone he once hated and sought revenge on has died, including Hindley, Edgar, Isabella, and Linton, the son he shared with Isabella.
He believes that presence to have been Catherine: her spirit, not her body which lay useless in the ground. He then refilled the grave and went home, feeling the spirit with him as he went.
Summary: Chapter XXIX
Heathcliff appears at Thrushcross Grange shortly after the funeral in order to take Cathy to her new home. He tells her that he has punished Linton for having helped her escape, and says that she will have to work for her keep at Wuthering Heights.
Isabella reveals that Heathcliff blames Edgar for Catherine's suffering, and he will take this out on Isabella, too.
For Heathcliff to put his hair in Catherine's locket while still alive signifies that part of him is actually dead. Catherine is the one who holds the hair, though she is the one who actually died.
He says that he can forgive her for the pain she has caused him, but that he can never forgive her for the pain that she has caused herself—he adds that she has killed herself through her behavior, and that he could never forgive her murderer.
Dean goes out the garden to tell Heathcliff that Catherine is dead.
Wuthering Heights masquerades as a love story, but it is really a study of trauma. Catherine and Heathcliff both have Complex Post-traumatic Stress Disorder and also shows signs of BPD.
Catherine gives birth to a daughter, Cathy, delivering her two months early—the baby is born at midnight, and Catherine passes away two hours later. Upon hearing the news from Nelly, Heathcliff seems to already be aware.
Heathcliff dies and is buried next to Catherine Earnshaw, his true love. Catherine and Hareton make plans to marry on New Year's Day, and to reside at Thrushcross Grange.
After Heathcliff dies under mysterious circumstances, Hareton and Cathy Linton are engaged to marry and planning to move to the Grange. Heathcliff is buried next to Catherine and Edgar, and there are rumors that his ghost has been seen walking on the moors.
Answer and Explanation: Catherine starves herself in Wuthering Heights so that she does not have to give Heathcliff and Edgar, the two men in a love triangle with her, an answer about which one she chooses to be with.
Hindley dies a mere six months after Catherine, drinking himself to death, unable to come to terms with the death of his wife.
Shortly after a night spent walking on the moors, Heathcliff dies. Hareton and young Catherine inherit Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange, and they plan to be married on the next New Year's Day.
Catherine's funeral marks the point of absolute decline for Hindley, who soon dies of alcoholism. Although Catherine Earshow dies around the halfway point of Wuthering Heights, her presence persists throughout Emily Brontë's novel.
Catherine, the object of his obsession, becomes the essence of his life, yet, in a sense, he ends up murdering his love. Ironically, after her death, Heathcliff's obsession only intensifies. Heathcliff's love for Catherine enables him to endure Hindley's maltreatment after Mr. Earnshaw's death.
Mr. Earnshaw arrives home from a business trip to Liverpool and foists the young orphan boy on his family without any warning. Catherine, on learning that her father has lost the present he had promised her – a riding whip – because he was taking care of the boy, loses her temper and spits in Heathcliff's face.
Catherine wants to lead a wealthy life and be a respected member of society. For that reason, she chooses Edgar's quiet adoration over Heathcliff's fierce love. Overall, Catherine chooses to marry Edgar because he can give her the life that Heathcliff cannot.
Cathy is delighted to see him again, but Linton asks her not to kiss him because it would “take his breath away”. She asks him repeatedly if he is happy to see her again, but he first wondered why she stopped writing to him and he says 'yes' on being with his cousin again.
Although Catherine loved Heathcliff, she rejected him because of his low social status, and she married Edgar, hoping to be able to help Heathcliff by advancing her own social and financial status.
For many years he has now lived in the village of Thornton, actually right across the road from the house in which the Brontë sisters were born, before their father, Patrick, took them to Haworth when he took up his job as minister of the village, living in the now-famous parsonage.
He decided to kill himself because he finished his plan of revenge. What is more, his heart suffered significantly because of his tragic love for Catherine Earnshaw.
Later, Nelly sends for the doctor, but Heathcliff refuses to see him. The following night, Nelly finds Heathcliff's dead body. Hareton is the only one to mourn Heathcliff's dying.
