“I asked what was the matter? answered, she didn’t know; but
she felt so afraid of dying!” (p.56)
This quote made me think to myself, how afraid of dying am I? How afraid is everyone else? If I was in this little girl’s position, I would be just as terrified, if not more. The loss of one parent (her mother) is bad, but the loss of two at a very young age, that is tragic. I do not know how I would get on with life, how I would function without my mother to wake me every morning, or my father not be able to take me to school. In the setting of the story it would seem worse because you basically completely rely on your parents until you are married. A few questions I ask myself up to this point are; How will Catherine’s character change? How will the entire story change? What will Heathcliff do without his ‘protector’ from Hindley?
