概要

TLDRThe video provides an in-depth analysis of a scene from a literary work where Catherine is suffering from delirium, leading to the deterioration of her mental health. In her delirious state, Catherine expresses a connection between her impending death and her desire to be with Heathcliff, suggesting that she won't rest even in death until he is with her. Her husband, Edgar, enters her room and, although initially angry at not being informed of her condition, shows concern for her well-being. Meanwhile, an underlying subplot unfolds, highlighting Heathcliff's character through his cruel act of hanging Isabella's pet dog, Fanny. This act of animal torture reflects Heathcliff's own traumatic past, as he was dehumanized and abused as a child. His actions demonstrate a symbolic reenactment of his childhood abuse, illustrating his unresolved rage and psychological issues. Another tension arises when it is discovered that Isabella has run off with Heathcliff. Edgar, recognizing her decision, feels disowned by her actions and chooses to do nothing, effectively severing ties with Isabella.

  • 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

  • 00:05:09
    window and I do not want you Edgar go
  • 00:05:12

    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
