This quotation ‚ from Pauline Nestor‚ while being close to an accurate description of Jane and Rochester’s relationship in Jane Eyre‚ does not go far in explaining the complicated and destructive relationship between Catherine and Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights. Their attachment might better be characterised by the word ‘obsession’ as none of the pure‚ selfless emotions associated with the literary ideal of true love seem to manifest in their relationship.
