Death, Insanity, and Unhappiness For All

Ok, sad, sad, sad, sad, sad! Oh, and pathetic of course.

Cathy is now dead. Great, that always makes a love story better when the girl dies.
Anyway, Heathcliff freaked out and practically went insane. But he did get to say that famous quote (which is what I heard about this book that made me want to read it), "I cannot live without my love! I cannot live without my life!" That is just one of the most moving things I've ever read. I mean, it's like he's saying that because he had nothing, and then he had love, he saw the difference and couldn't be happy without it. He is like advertising love as something we all need to live! That is just a great message to put in a book, to say we should care and support and love. I love it!

Now that that's out of the way, Heathcliff is worse then ever, hating the world and stricken with grief. It is kind of sad, but shows just how much he really loved Cathy. That is so awesome, that the darkest soul, Heathcliff, can love. Evilness can't stop it, it just is. Nice work, love.

And because everyone reading this is dying (yay for plays on words!!) to know, Cathy died (oh that's just so funny) in childbirth having Edgar's brand-new out-of-the-box daughter. Just like mom. This, of course happened right after the night when Heathcliff and she officially decided they LOVED each other. That just has to be the world's worst luck, you know?

And then, to top it all off, they named the baby Catherine too! They may just call her Cathy, but that's like condemning her to have a terrible love life too. I bet you she will. Edgar has to be really, really unhappy cause she was his wife and he loved her (even if she didn't particularly love him), so he must be a total wreck too. Nelly just kind of skims this over, so I have to assume some things here too.

I'll tell you all when all their lives get worse.
Ciao for now,
