Wuthering Heights / Emily Brontë.
"My love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneath--a source of little visible delight, but necessary. Nelly--I am Heathcliff--he's always, always in my mind--not as a pleasure, any more than I am always a pleasure to myself--but as my own being." <p> Catherine Earnshaw thus tries to describe her obsessive love for Heathcliff: she identifies with him so completely that it is as if he has become part of her internal existence. For Heathcliff's part, his all-devouring passion for Catherine impels him to bring about the ruination of anyone or anything that might keep her from him. Their mutual ardor devastates three generations of lives at Thrushcross Grange and Wuthering Heights. <p> Presented as a tale told calmly and carefully by an old family servant to a new tenant of Thrushcross, Wuthering Heights has disturbed and gripped readers since it was first published in 1847. Untamable, almost uncivilized, often unlikeable, Heathcliff and Catherine remain in the mind long after the last page has been turned.
