    Catherine and Heathcliff's relationship is explored within the context of societal constraints. As children, they enjoyed a sense of freedom in the Moors, contrasting with their adult lives where social order dominates. This notion is symbolically tied to local folklore, suggesting that union or separation has severe consequences. As adults, Catherine laments her sense of entrapment, highlighting the tension between past freedom and present limitations. The narration delves into the symbolic meaning behind these themes, questioning Nelly's role as either a villain or an unreliable narrator, embittered by her own subjectivity.

    Catherine's confrontation with her identity is vividly depicted through her reaction to her reflection in the mirror, representing Mrs. Linton – a societal role she now resents. Her delirious state blurs reality, recalling her past and longing for the freedom associated with Wuthering Heights. She struggles with the transformation imposed by society, yearning to return to a wilder, carefree version of herself from her youth. Catherine's reflections reveal a deep dissatisfaction with her status and identity, as she pleads for reconnection with her true self and surroundings, symbolized by her desire to open the window and invite the outside world in.

    however they cannot another thing uh in
  • 00:00:51

    breast now uh again this whole idea with
  • 00:03:08
    uh nully as we said earlier and again

    this is a point of interpretation you
  • 00:03:14
    may see that nully is a a villain you
  • 00:03:17
    may see her as an innocent person an
  • 00:03:20
    unreliable narrator uh where she puts
  • 00:03:23
    her own subjectivity in in the narration
  • 00:03:27
    so what happens is we explained this
  • 00:03:29
    with the um with the peniston crack now
  • 00:03:32
    let's do a a recap here now uh as we

  • 00:04:10
    began to scream and Nelly Dean said she
  • 00:04:14
    was afraid to leave her
  • 00:04:18
    now Katherine here I believe it's on uh
  • 00:04:24

    think that Edgar loves me anymore I
  • 00:04:32

    each other now everyone is my enemy
  • 00:04:44

  • 00:05:23
    a mirror Catherine here she is she feels
  • 00:05:27
    that looking at the mirror she cannot
  • 00:05:30
    recognize her own reflection in the
  • 00:05:33
    mirror she cannot she does not see uh
  • 00:05:37

  • 00:05:42
    she sees in the mirror is whom is
  • 00:05:46
    Catherine Linton to whom she does not
  • 00:05:49
    want to be that afraid she tells Nelly
  • 00:05:52
    that it is a ghost afraid that it is a
  • 00:05:55
    ghost she makes nly cover it to cover
  • 00:05:58
    that mirror Katherine Sees In The Mirror
  • 00:06:00
    an image who of who and what she has
  • 00:06:03
    really become in the world's terms Mrs
  • 00:06:07
    Linton the lady of a thrush cross crange
  • 00:06:10
    to which on page uh we will read it on
  • 00:06:13
    page 53 she says like I am an exile now
  • 00:06:17
    I do not want to be the the wife of the
  • 00:06:21
    um this Outcast The
  • 00:06:23
    Stranger um Mrs
  • 00:06:26
    Linton she does not want to be Edgar
  • 00:06:29
    wife
  • 00:06:30

  • 00:06:34
    I thought I was home I thought I was
  • 00:06:36
    lying in my chamber at weing Heights so
  • 00:06:41
    here what is that she wants to go back
  • 00:06:44
    again she wants to be free again she
  • 00:06:47
    wants to uh remember she is starting to
  • 00:06:51
    remember her old time now as if she she
  • 00:06:55
    was uh she cannot retell or
  • 00:06:58
    recognize what happens after this uh the
  • 00:07:02
    the pillow the elf bolts and
  • 00:07:05
    everything Catherine here she starts to
  • 00:07:08
    be even more delusioned she start to uh
  • 00:07:12
    see herself a reflection of herself in
  • 00:07:16
    the black breast the mirror so Catherine
  • 00:07:19
    here she feels that she is lost without
  • 00:07:21
    hecliff she cannot recognize her own
  • 00:07:24

    she's afraid that it is a ghost she
  • 00:07:29
    makes nollie cover it Katherine Sees In
  • 00:07:32
    The Mirror now we sense that the reason
  • 00:07:35
    why she is afraid and she does not want
  • 00:07:38
    to look at her reflection in the mirror
  • 00:07:41
    because the image now she sees in the
  • 00:07:43
    mirror is the the image who uh she
  • 00:07:47
    really became became in the world who is
  • 00:07:51
    uh Mrs Linton the lady of Catherine of
  • 00:07:55
    the thres Cross crane do you remember in
  • 00:07:58
    chapter N9 where she said I he will make
  • 00:08:02
    me uh the most famous lady and I will be
  • 00:08:06
    proud of having such a husband however
  • 00:08:09
    now when she looks at her reflection in
  • 00:08:12
    the mirror she does not want to look at
  • 00:08:16
    what she sees she tells Nellie that she
  • 00:08:20
    thought that she was a child again and
  • 00:08:23
    so she was a frightened of her own face
  • 00:08:25
    and the mirror she did not know who she
  • 00:08:28
    was and n says when when she uh tried to
  • 00:08:32
    leave the room to get her husband she
  • 00:08:35
    cried out and called me back to which
  • 00:08:37
    she held me tightly now on page uh on
  • 00:08:42
    page
  • 00:08:45
    153 Catherine here she as she describes
  • 00:08:48
    the situation she tells her I pondered
  • 00:08:52
    and worried myself to discover what it
  • 00:08:54
    could be and most strangely the whole
  • 00:08:58
    last seven years of my life it grew a
  • 00:09:02
    blank uh but before that she said as I
  • 00:09:05
    lay there my head against the table leg
  • 00:09:08
    and my eyes dimly what what were her
  • 00:09:11
    eyes they she enclosed them and she
  • 00:09:14
    started to feel that she was back again
  • 00:09:18
    in the oak paneled bed at home now why
  • 00:09:22
    the oak the oak as we shall see on
  • 00:09:25
    chapter 14 it is a very beautiful symbol
  • 00:09:28
    of Hope of protection too she says my
  • 00:09:32
    heart achd with some grief a great grief
  • 00:09:36
    which just waking I could not
  • 00:09:40
    recollect this is on page 153 by the end
  • 00:09:44
    of the page I pondered and worried
  • 00:09:47
    myself to discover what it could be and
  • 00:09:50
    most strangely the whole seven last
  • 00:09:53
    seven year seven of years of my life it
  • 00:09:55
    grew a
  • 00:09:57
    blank I did not recall that they uh had
  • 00:10:01
    been at all or what they had been I was
  • 00:10:04
    a child my father was just buried and my
  • 00:10:09
    misery arose from the separation that
  • 00:10:12
    hindley had ordered between me and a hep
  • 00:10:17
    now notice
  • 00:10:19
    here this slide at the end of the slide
  • 00:10:22
    look at what it says what happens when a
  • 00:10:25
    person cannot tell the difference
  • 00:10:27
    between what is real and what isn't so
  • 00:10:31
    as if she is what she is looking at her
  • 00:10:35
    own life uh before her you start to see
  • 00:10:40
    your life uh in front of you like it's a
  • 00:10:43
    movie so uh she says from the separation
  • 00:10:47
    that hendley had ordered between me and
  • 00:10:50
    hecliff I was laid alone for the first
  • 00:10:54
    time and rousing from a dismal dose
  • 00:10:58
    after a night of weeping weeping sorry I
  • 00:11:01
    lifted my hand to push the panels aside
  • 00:11:06
    it struck the tabletop I swept it along
  • 00:11:09
    the carpet and then a memory burst in my
  • 00:11:13
    late anguish was a swallowed in despair
  • 00:11:16
    I cannot say why I felt so wildly riched
  • 00:11:20
    it must have been temporary
  • 00:11:25
    derangement for there is a scarcely
  • 00:11:28
    cause poent she said the whole reason
  • 00:11:31
    was supposing at a 12 years old I had
  • 00:11:35
    been wrenched from the
  • 00:11:37
    Heights and very early Association and
  • 00:11:41
