So Cathy's getting married.

Chapters 5-10

The number of ways I do not understand how Catherine went from practically gouging Linton's eyes out to being engaged to him, are fathomless. Obviously they are well on their way to a happy and fruitful marriage as only one could be after the bride has attacked the groom and then revealed that she's marrying him because he loves her and nothing else. #healthy

 I'm having serious problems in not imagining Linton as Andrew Lincoln who played him in an adaptation, especially as then it makes me think of zombie killings.

CATHERINE EARNSHAW gets married to EDGAR LINTON who was played by ANDREW LINCOLN who is famous for being a sheriff in THE WALKING DEAD which is about ZOMBIES which are kinda like GHOSTS and here we are back with Catherine and Kate Bush once more.

 I cannot understand Catherine Earnshaw, she is a complete enigma. But more than that I am really struggling to see any aspect of her character that deserves affection or devotion of the kind that I know Heathcliff will display. My personal vendetta against the narrative style isn't doing Catherine any favours. At the end of Nelly's story and chapter 10 I haven't really seen anything I like about Catherine. The only time she explains herself is when she tries to defend becoming engaged to Edgar instead of Heathcliff. Nelly doesn't take her seriously and neither do I. Her description of her dream, that she went to heaven and cried until the angels threw her back down, just made me a little bit annoyed at her. I don't have a lot of patience for characters who refuse to take responsibility for their actions.

However, I am going to resolve to try to think of Catherine in a slightly more positive light, I’m concerned that if I don’t I’m going to spend the entire novel waiting for her to die – although she does seem more interesting as a ghost.

How old is Nelly?! It seems as though that woman has been around since before the dawn if time!
