example, according to the excerpt, “Cathy stayed at Thrushcross Grange [for] five weeks”, in that time period she had “her manners improved”. This gives a brief selection of detail that varies into a perplexing story of love gone weary because of the change of values from Catherine’s part. Moreover, the relationship of Catherine and Heathcliff goes into confliction over Catherine’s want to become a respected lady over the connection she feels with Heathcliff. In the end, Catherine’s selfish attempt to become someone else ends the affair of true love into a dark void in Heathcliff’s perspective. In addition, the distance between the couple can be seen to begin once the alteration of Catherine’s appearance and her change into a civil woman.
For example, according to the excerpt, “The mistress commenced her plan of reform by trying to raise her self-respect with fine clothes and flattery, which she took readily.” Further, following into the concept of Catherine’s conformity, had she not been swayed by the family of the Lintons, Catherine would’ve laughed at the lady’s attempt to mold her into being respected for her mask instead of her true form. However, due to the fact that she accepted the advancements people took to alter the wild Catherine into a lady of the 1800s, the concept means that the change of Catherine will provide a mask for the girl to wear in order to become a being who’ll cause the shift of connection between Heathcliff and Catherine. In fact, when she returned home, to hopefully receive recognition and compliments, she only degraded Heathcliff into grudging the very existence of the “servant” he was at the house of the
Earnshaw’s. Moreover, Heathcliff didn’t mind the person he was if he could keep the essence that identified his character. Since when he was derived from hygiene, he only kept the ‘punishment’ as a form of rebellion to embracing the injustice and constant grievances of the master, Hindley. On the other hand, when he bestowed upon a young girl like Catherine as someone like the meddling master and mistress, this caused a spark into a social barrier. Heathcliff, the dirty servant, and Catherine, respected young lady, cannot receive the acceptance of society during that time period and could never find an easy shiftment from childhood friends into a strong relationship. Even though, Catherine wished to find her friend the same young lad and still continue their friendship, well Heathcliff cannot accept the comments being made upon his looks and being laughed for his true being. Indeed, the relationship had formed a social status between the working class and the upper class, just like oil and water, they just don’t mix. In conclusion, the development of the relationship between Catherine and Earnshaw only formed a dissolution of unrequited love and shows the start of the issue over conforming over the passion of love, the gap between the children, and the spark of a social class division that severed the connection between the two. Indeed, love is never going to end with roses and tulip, and is quoted as, “Love is like a rumor, Everyone talks about it, But no one truly knows.”
