ed to meet Heathcliff and pled with him to forgive her . Finally , she devoted the whole heart to her real beloved Heathcliff and also devoted herself to the primitive love . 
Comparsionly , Cathy’s love was civilized and tender . When she fell in love with Linton , she tried her best to keep him company , told him stories and jokes to relieve his loneliness . At the same time , she looked downed on her cousin Hareton . In her eyes , Hareton was a boor , whereas Linton was her real beloved . But she didn’t go into the extreme . Gradually , Cathy realized Linton’s ruffianism and wanted to break up with him . But it was too late , she was forced to marry the dying Linton under Heathcliff’s intrigue . Though there was no love between Cathy and Linton after their marriage , Cathy still took care of him carefully when he was seriously ill . She suffered not only physically but also mentally . Fortunately , Linton’s death changed her bad situation . In that situation , if Cathy wanted to get the happiness , she would have diverted her emotion to others . When she saw that Hareton was trying to approach to civilization and culture , she was eagar to get Hareton’s company and talk with him . She realized that the reason why he was unwilling to talk to her was that she laughed at him before . “ She was sorry for his persevering sulkiness and indolence — her conscience reproved her for frightening him off improving himself .” (Emily, 2004: 363) Facing this situtation , she didn’t give up and continued to make an effort to approach him . She said to Hareton that she would like to accept him as her cousin if he “ had not grown so cross” to her , “and so rough” . (Emily, 2004: 364) Finally , she found out her happiness and returned Thrushcross Grange with Hareton .
In my opinion , her progress was very obvious . At the beginning , Cathy’s mind was very narrow . She lived in the upper class , and she had no common language with Hareton , let alone accepting him as her cousin . If she wanted tofind her happiness , she must abandon her psychological barrier and accept Hareton to join her society . All that she did showed that she had the better education and the higher equality . She could face her lover calmly and deverted her attention from one person to another . Unlike her mother’s primitive love , her love is civilized , tender , rational . For the current society , she was an exception who had the self-consciousness of the women and self-pursuit of happiness . Therefore , Cathy is the representative of civilized love .
 
Chapter Ⅲ   Love vs. Hate
According to the philosophy , if irrational and primitive love is hampered , it will be turned into hate . Rational and civilized love is unlikely to be turned into hate . On the contrary , it can eliminate hate .
When Heathcliff was young , he had original kindness and purity just like other children . That Catherine abandoned him hurt his heart and made him divert from love to hate . So Heathcliff’s hate and the plan of the revenge originated from Catherine . That Catherine died quietly without yelling his name wasn’t the same as what he thought . Heathcliff cried with anger :
Why , she’s a liar to the end ! Where is she ? Not there—not in heaven—not perished—where ? Oh ! You said you cared nothing for my sufferings ! And I pray one prayer—I repeat it till my tongue stiffs—Catherine Earnshaw , may you not rest , as long as I am living ! (Emily , 2004: 195 )
His hate was so strong that he hated her for eighteen years after her death . Then he tried to revenge all persons who related to Catherine , but he got nothing from it at last . Finally , he died in the extreme joy and the extreme sadness . He had to meet his Catherine in the heaven . As a result , their primitive love only exists like spooks in people’s imagination .
Hareton admired Cathy when he met her at the first time . But Cathy looked down on him and considered him as an impolite and ignorant person . Later , Heathcliff’s intrigue made them hate each other . Under Nelly’s direction , Cathy changed her attitude towards Hareton and endeavored to help him , even accepted him as her cousin . As we expected , they fell in love with each other .
The reason why Cathy was happy was that Hareton no longer hated her , whereas he loved her deeply . Just because rational they use their love to eliminate their hate , both Hareton and Cathy made great efforts to change a lot for the other . So they could return Thrushcross Grange , which symbolized civilization and upper class , and lived a happy life . As a result , unlike the former generation , their rational and civilized love could exist in the reality .
 
Conclusion
Wuthering Heights is a classical novel of the love . After reading it , I am certainly shocked by the love between Heathcliff and Catherine and moved by their deep feelings . And I feel satisfied with the sound ending of Hareton and Cathy . At the same time , I also admire and appreiate Emily’s unique image and special writing style . 
In fact , the whole plots of this novel were dominated by a word—love . Of course , hate was also aroused by love . Characters of the former generation had irrational and primitive love . They lacked of the sense and loved with each other insanely . Because of the irrational love , their love was turned into hate . Characters of the latter generation had rational and civilized love . They had the sense and loved each other quietly and tenderly . Because of the rational love , their hate was eliminated . Just because of the different love they chose , their fates were completely different . One exists in the people’s imagination, whereas the other exists in the reality . If people love each other in a proper way , I think they will be happy . Love only accords with human beings . But primitive love is the spiritual love which is unlikely to exist in the reality .
By comparing the two generations in Wuthering Heights , I not only see the different love , but also realize the profound meanings of the novel . Facing the problems in daily life , we should use our sensibility to settle all problems besides love and marriage . If the process is hampered , we can not go into the extreme . We’d better convert our attention into another beneficial aspect . 
In Victorian Times , the system of social class was prevailing . People’s thoughts were contorted . But at that time , Emily had the self—consciousness about women . In modern times , women play more and more important roles in the society .
The tendency that women need free character , self—pursuit and the equity of male and female is overwhelming . Furthermore , the successful road of self—pursuit depends on ego .
So , I think the novel Wuthering Heights is a classical novel of the love . It is also one of the greatest novels in the English literature .
