"'Come in! come in!' he sobbed. 'Cathy,do come. Oh do—once more! Oh! my heart's darling! hear me this time, Catherine, at last!'" (pg. 30)In the first chapters,Mr. Lockwood gives the impression that Heathcliff character is a rude and unemotional character. However, when the presence of Catherine's ghost comes into play, I myself began seeing Healthcliff in a different light. That is because it makes Heathcliff vulnerable, his heart aches and he feels pain of a lost one. In the quote, I was intrigued that Healthcliff chose the words "once" and "this" that is because it gives the impression that Heathcliff new that Catherine's ghost was there and it leaves the reader to question if Heathcliff has felt the need to contact her as well as it hints to the reader of some unresolved conflict with Catherine.
