I'm thinking of Hareton and Catherine as how Heathcliff and (first) Cathy should have been. Together. Heathcliff mentioned too that he sees himself in Hareton (growing up abused), and of course Cathy in Catherine. So in …

I found Linton as despicable as Heathcliff.
On a side note, are we going to read until the end (chapter 34) this week? It's 7 chapters in total.

there's no "sex" drama. Even though Catherine met Heathcliff regularly, and are obviously in love, there never seems to be any doubt whose child baby Cathy is. Maybe I've read a lot more contemporary fictions. Looks like…

I'm not sure if my interest intensified as the first Catherine died. I'm wondering how this story goes to climax if there's no more Catherine and Heathcliff (together).
