"From the hour she came down stairs, til the hour she went to bed, we had not a minute's security that she wouldn't be in mischief." pg. 42
Catherine is a very interesting character. Beside the fact that she is associated with many different names throughout the story, when she was little, she was a handful. As she grew up, she grew a more and more liking to Heathcliff, her brother (not really). At first, I was really confused. All these people in the story had different names for themselves and it took me some time to figure who was who. Anyway, one of the turning points in Catherine's life was when she went to live at the Linton's. They were rich and fancy. When she returned, she too felt mature and acted like a woman. Her love for Heathcliff never changed but stayed clear of him for some time. This novel is good so far. It seems Heathcliff and Catherine have so many ties to eachother yet they never fit into the same place. Catherine married Edgar and it seems in spite Heathcliff married Isabella. A love triangle definately sums up Catherine, Edgar, and Heathcliff. There is no doubt Catherine still has more to offer in the story. She is constantly becoming insane and dilusional which only adds to the story as a whole.
