"I sought, and soon discovered, the three head-stones on the slope next the moor-the middle one, grey, and half buried in heath-Edgar Linton's only harmonized by the turf, and moss creepin up its foot-Heathcliff's still bare. I wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers, for the sleepers in that quiet earth." page 344
WOOHOO! THe end of the story is a complete turn around than what I thought would happen! In the end, Heathcliff, Catherine, and Edgar all died. The love triangle is still together even in their death. Heathcliff made it known that he wanted to be buried next to Catherine eventhough he was to be buried in the city. Heathcliff's obsessive love for Catherine haunts him even in his death! Catherine basically caused his death, just like he caused hers. Cathy and Hareton become lovers in the end..definately did not see that one coming! They finally realized their love for eachother and plan on getting married and moving back to the Grange. Heathcliff will not be able to have the forceful pressures on them anymore and they will be able to live freely. The last line of the quote sticks out to me the most. Even though they are dead in the quiet earth, they will continue to argue as spirits and be loud! It is kind of spooky to think about.
