Cynthia Lord Rules Analysis

Additionally, Cathy grows older and less wild, but she becomes more meticulous, patient, and wise because of her past experiences. When Cathy changes her name to Catherine she creates another person by name, but still has the same rotten core. Her decisions are not as rash as when she first is mentioned for she is no longer as young and wild as she used to be. Patience is one thing Cathy happens to learn very well now that she is growing up. Catherine meets a man named Mr. Edwards and he suspects nothing evil out of this sweet, innocent young woman. She is very good about pretending to be pure, and then she seduces Mr. Edwards into buying her a house they can stay in together. It seems Catherine starts thinking further ahead at her life as

As the novel progresses, Catherine begins to understand Isabella’s actions and the way she treats certain people including herself.

Catherine’s internal conflict is placed on a pedestal, emphasizing character development and growth as well as decline. Her choices throughout the book are a decision between reality and daydream, often resulting in the latter being chosen in an attempt to meet the expectations of other people.

Catherine is the main character in Rules. She is a sweet, shy girl who loves to draw. Catherine just wants to have a normal life.

Catherine’s androgynous character appears to be emphasized by cutting her hair short like a boy, which takes place three weeks after the wedding. Having that short haircut, as narrator states “in Paris it was rare and strange and could be beautiful or could be very bad” . From that moment on, Catherine demands to take up the role of the boy during her and David’s intimate encounter. What is more, she wanted to change her husband’s name to “Catherine” , and hers to “Peter” , further enhancing her masculinity.

“Shh, she’s sleeping. Steph is a friend of mine. Someone hurt her.” Jason walked with his sister as she made her way downstairs. “So… Why we?” Evelyn cocked her brow, stopping midway through her trip down the stairs to turn toward him. “As in, me, Nathan, the police. What the hell is with you?” He laughed huskily. “You’re kidding right? You fuck a guy upstairs that is supposed to be looking after you, your friend is sleeping in a few rooms away and has been hurt. The hell is going on with you?” She had no answer for that. Aside from the fact that it wasn’t like her, at

This is the first time Catherine herself makes a statement in regards to Heathcliff’s true nature, and it is this final nail in the coffin that sets Heathcliff’s nature to the reader. If we were unconvinced before, we would certainly be convinced now, given Catherine’s astute analysis. Four months after Heathcliff’s return, he carries Isabella away from the Grange and marries her for the chance of attaining her brother’s land. His vengeance is taking

Catherine grew up as a tomboy yet she eventually became a lover of reading. Her love of reading colors her perception of the world and so she has an overactive imagination that runs away from her sometimes. Catherine believes that she is a heroine because she reads so much and so she imagines that she is the heroine in her own novel.

Catherine’s story begins with the description of her living in the village Fullerton where she has grown up with her family of nine siblings and her parents (who educated her over the years). It is then that family friends of the Morlands, the Allens, (a wealthy couple without children), proposal that Catherine comes along with them to visit the tourist town of Bath. Catherine is more than willing to take up the invitation but her expectations of the outside world are exaggerated due to her reading

First we learn about Catherine who is the writer and we get to know a little more about her relationship with Heathcliff, and we are introduced to her brother and sister in law Hindley and Frances who were both cruel to Heathcliff.

She had a passionate love for Jason; she sacrificed a lot to be with Jason, committing unspeakable acts. Her husband’s betrayal completely shatters

Each character in the novel has been described in different ways. Borg suggests that psychologically, Catherine’s character has been seen as a double character, this shows in Heathcliff and Linton’s characters. As if they are two different parts of her. (Borg, 2011, p:5). This doubleness is clear in the novel when Nelly explains her doubleness. That “Catherine has adopted a double character”(52). (Borg.,2011,p:5). In addition, she described as a child. This shows in her dairies which has been red by Lockwood in chapter three in the novel. The reader can understand her bevaviour as a child through events which have written in Catherine’s dairies. This helps the reader to see the truth about her character because it is written in her own words, without any narration intervention. Her rebellious actions are clear in her dairies. For example; when she writes that she hates lessons are giving to her and

Tyler then speaks about Heathcliff’s understanding of Catherine's mind. Heathcliff thinks of Catherine as his opposite which can be seen early in their childhood. This would obviously dispel some notions of love because it would assume their relationship is still the same as it was when they were children. Tytler then shows that Cathy and Hareton are shown as secondary heroes to Catherine and Heathcliff. This leads him to believe that Catherine and

Catherine’s character was displayed very differently as the woman during that era. This is because, in the novel, Catherine did not care she was a female she still played around recklessly with Heathcliff. And because these two grew up playing with each other they develop very strong bonds and ended up falling in love. However, her father did not like the idea of his daughter falling in love with a Heathcliff mainly because he was poor, uneducated, and black. In the story, he says “she was much too fond of Heathcliff. The greatest punishment we could invent for her was to keep her separate from him,” (Bonte, pg.35). Because of this Catherine started to change and was now displayed a woman in the upper-class society of the Victorian
