Quote context

[...]

- Sit down, Cathy. I won't say I'm not surprised to see you.

- Heathcliff, is it true? Did you ask Isabella to marry you?

- Oh, you mustn't do this villainous thing.

- She's never harmed you!

- No, but you've harmed me.

- Then punish me!

- And that's what I intend to do.

- I don't understand.

- Every moment I hold her in my arms, when I kiss her, when I promise her life and happiness, you'll be punished.

- Oh, you can't. If there's anything human left in you, don't make me a partner to this crime. It's mad! It's stupid!

- If your heart were only stronger than your dull care for the world and its conventions, I'd live silent and content in your shadow, begging for an occasional word or thought as I used to do.

- But now you had to destroy me with that weakness you call virtue. You had to keep me tormented with that cruelty you think so pious.
