Heathcliff visits Catherine for the last time.

For five whole minutes he held her in his arms and kissed her again and again. It gave him great pain in to look at her face. He could see that she would never recover, that she was certain to die.

“Oh, Catherine! Oh, my life! How can I bear it!” he cried.

“You and Edgar have broken my heart.” said Catherine. “And you both want me to pity you! How strong you are Heathcliff! You’ll live for years after my death! Will you forget me, and be happy with others, when I’m in my grave?”

“It’s wicked of you to say that, Catherine. You know your words will burn forever in my memory after you’ve left me. You know I could never forget you!”

“I don’t want you to suffer more than I do, Heathcliff. I only want us to be together, always.”

Heathcliff turned towards her, his fierce eyes wet. For a moment they looked at each other, and then they were in each other’s arms again. No one could have separated them.

“How cruel you’ve been to me, Catherine!” he cried wildly. “You loved me, so why did you marry Edgar Linton? It’s all, your fault! I haven’t broken your heart, you’ve broken it. And you’ve broken mine too! Do you think I want to live after you are dead?”
