    deep but I will not rest till you are
  • 00:03:08
    with me hecliff I never

  • 00:03:14
    remembering hecliff wanting to be
  • 00:03:17
    yearning for he Cliff again as we said
  • 00:03:20
    love is the yearning for
  • 00:03:22
    immortality and uh it is through being
  • 00:03:26
    together they feel that's what they
  • 00:03:28
    their love is eternal their love is uh
  • 00:03:31
    is making them feel that they are one
  • 00:03:34
    they are the other they're not human
  • 00:03:37
    beings Nell I am he
  • 00:03:39
    thli now what happens later on is that
  • 00:03:43
    uh finally Edgar came to his wife's room
  • 00:03:46
    he was angry with Nellie to which Nellie
  • 00:03:49
    tells him that she had not known
  • 00:03:52
    Catherine was Ill but he was still angry
  • 00:03:56
    with me notice here on page 15 six she
  • 00:04:00
    tells him she has been fretting there
  • 00:04:03
    and eating scarcely anything and never
  • 00:04:06
    complaining she would admit none of us
  • 00:04:09
    till this evening and so we could not
  • 00:04:12
    inform you of her State as we were not
  • 00:04:16
    aware of it ourselves but it is nothing
  • 00:04:20
    again the idea that a servant who
  • 00:04:23
    notices the slightest changes in a
  • 00:04:26
    person and they're like let's say
  • 00:04:28
    mistress they would immedi medely go and
  • 00:04:30
    inform their um her husband right now
  • 00:04:34
    Edgar here he held Catherine in his arms
  • 00:04:38
    but At first she did not recognize him
  • 00:04:41
    then she spoke to him so you have come
  • 00:04:44
    at last Edgar Linton to which he tells
  • 00:04:47
    her this is on page
  • 00:04:48

  • 00:05:07
    will die now I will jump out of the
  • 00:05:09
    window and I do not want you Edgar go
  • 00:05:12
    back to your books she also tells him um

  • 00:05:22
    you can touch my body my body is all
  • 00:05:25
    yours but my soul will be forever on
  • 00:05:28
    that Hilltop
  • 00:05:30
    before you lay your hands on me again
  • 00:05:33
    Nellie decided to go to the Village to
  • 00:05:36
    get the doctor as she walked across the
  • 00:05:39
    garden she saw something horrible now
  • 00:05:42
    this is I
  • 00:05:44
    believe on page
  • 00:05:47
    uh
  • 00:05:51
    589 like to the whole end of the um to
  • 00:05:55
    the end of the
  • 00:05:58
    chapter
  • 00:06:01
    okay now for the whole four pages here
  • 00:06:05
    we don't have uh anything like to
  • 00:06:07
    highlight we just have the final on page
  • 00:06:11
    163 to which we will talk about it also
  • 00:06:14
    later so uh an laan said that she
  • 00:06:18
    decided to go to the village and to get
  • 00:06:20
    the doctor and as she walked across the
  • 00:06:23
    garden she saw something horrible uh
  • 00:06:26
    Isabella's pet dog we will also talk
  • 00:06:29
    talk about this because this is very
  • 00:06:31
    important she saw that Isabella's pet
  • 00:06:35
    dog Fanny was hanging by its neck from a
  • 00:06:38
    hook in the wall it was uh tied to the
  • 00:06:43
    hook by the handkerchief and it was
  • 00:06:45
    nearly uh dead but then uh Nelly said
  • 00:06:50
    that it began to breathe again when she
  • 00:06:52
    untied uh the
  • 00:06:54
    handkerchief now here she starts to ask
  • 00:06:57
    a question we to which we also
  • 00:07:00
    ask this
  • 00:07:02
    question why had uh why would anyone do
  • 00:07:05
    such a cruel thing we do not know so
  • 00:07:09
    again she continues with the story I
  • 00:07:11
    hurried onto the village to the uh to
  • 00:07:15
    get to the doctor she says that Mr
  • 00:07:19
    Kenneth tells nully that he has heard on
  • 00:07:23
    good uh Authority or words that uh
  • 00:07:26
    Isabella has run off with he Cliff Nelly
  • 00:07:30
    Here gets too scared to tell Edgar
  • 00:07:33
    because uh the previous like situation
  • 00:07:36
    when Edgar saw how ill Catherine was he
  • 00:07:40
    rebuked her for not telling him so now
  • 00:07:43
    she is completely scared and she cannot
  • 00:07:45
    tell Edgar but when he does find out he
  • 00:07:49
    seems uh later on resigned to her
  • 00:07:53
    decision now the question is why would
  • 00:07:58
    hether cliff
  • 00:08:00
    um torture the animal let's talk about
  • 00:08:04
    this for a bit now if we go back to
  • 00:08:07
    hether Cliff's childhood hether Cliff's
  • 00:08:09
    a trauma begins in childhood he when he
  • 00:08:13
    was a child he was picked up by as we
  • 00:08:15
    said my Mr eraw he was starving homeless
  • 00:08:19
    and he was as he said as good as dumb on
  • 00:08:23
    the streets of Liverpool so he then is
  • 00:08:27
    quickly dehumanized by his step siblings
  • 00:08:30
    Catherine and hendley who at first if
  • 00:08:33
    you remember they emotionally abuse him
  • 00:08:36
    they label him as the gold the vampire
  • 00:08:39
    vampire the IM of Satan and so on Nelly
  • 00:08:43
    also the manipulative she was
  • 00:08:45
    manipulative at first where she views uh
  • 00:08:48
    hecliff as some sort of goblin she even
  • 00:08:51
    continues to use that word Goblin she
  • 00:08:54
    said where she said she put him on the
  • 00:08:57
    um Landing of the stairs hoping that I
  • 00:08:59
    might that it notice the word um or the
  • 00:09:03
    uh uh the pronoun it it might be gone on
  • 00:09:08
    the the the next
  • 00:09:11
    morning so which tells us what He Cliff
  • 00:09:14
    is not wanted inside weathering kits now
  • 00:09:18
    having been rescued from this state of
  • 00:09:21
    Abandonment he is abandoned once again
  • 00:09:24
    only this time how is this abandonment
  • 00:09:27
    it is psychological by or it's not just
  • 00:09:30
    psychological really it is actual
  • 00:09:33
    abandonment by um by Catherine where she
  • 00:09:36
    abandoned him uh and this created within
  • 00:09:40
    this this in him this psychological uh
  • 00:09:43
    mentally uh being unable to control his
  • 00:09:47
    emotions now he Cliff endured so much if
  • 00:09:50
    you look at him he was always called the
  • 00:09:53
    plow boy the blow Ruffin um he was
  • 00:09:56
    subjected to blows to pinching to
  • 00:10:00
    beatings and he um he handled so much uh
  • 00:10:05
    no person truly would uh would ever like
  • 00:10:10
    handle this much of a blows and uh this
  • 00:10:14
    much of harassment whether beating him
  • 00:10:16
    physically or verbally being um attacked
  • 00:10:21
    now through life uh he goes through life
  • 00:10:24
    without showing weakness as we said why
  • 00:10:27
    because weakness to him would risk
  • 00:10:30
    further
  • 00:10:31
    punishment however his rage must emerge
  • 00:10:35
    in some form later on and this is one of
  • 00:10:38
    the forms of his
  • 00:10:40
    Rage which is the idea of him torturing
  • 00:10:44
    animals now the the idea of torturing
  • 00:10:47
    animals it first started ever since he
  • 00:10:50
    was a child actually he when he was a
  • 00:10:53
    child he set a trap for a a a baby bird
  • 00:10:58
    in adul H however he graduates to uh
  • 00:11:02
    starts gradually to have this act of
  • 00:11:05
    violence like for example hanging
  • 00:11:08
    Isabella's dog which does this what that
  • 00:11:13
    maybe we will talk about this uh very
  • 00:11:15
    soon which is um the theme or the idea
  • 00:11:19
    of mental illness psychological uh being
  • 00:11:23
    psychologically or mentally unwell
  • 00:11:25
    because this is very much important the
  • 00:11:29
    anti- social personality disorder and
  • 00:11:33
    the also um uh complex post traumatic
  • 00:11:36
    stress now why does hecliff torture
  • 00:11:40
    animals well this is a symbolic
  • 00:11:44
    reenactment reenactment which is what
  • 00:11:46
    it's like a acting out of a a scene or
  • 00:11:50
    event that took a place in the past this
  • 00:11:55
    mirror um images this mirror image uh of
  • 00:11:59
    his own abuse in childhood when he was a
  • 00:12:03
    child he was defenseless creature he was
  • 00:12:06
    always tortured by adults and now when
  • 00:12:10
    he is an now that he is an adult what
  • 00:12:12
    does he do he tortures defenseless
  • 00:12:16
    animals defenseless creatures which is a
  • 00:12:19
    very beautiful uh it's it's like
  • 00:12:23
    unacceptable but the way the author like
  • 00:12:26
    um uh you know does it
  • 00:12:29
    and like connecting between the
  • 00:12:32
    beginning and and then this image it's
  • 00:12:34
    very very uh genius now what happens
  • 00:12:38
    later on the next morning uh when the
  • 00:12:41
    when the doctor got sorry not the next
  • 00:12:43
