One can only imagine what might happen to Catherine if she is separated from him for a longer period of time, and indeed, catastrophic effects are seen later on when the two are apart. At this young age, as Dobell says, "we dare not doubt her purity," and at this young age, one can still se Catherine and her love for Heathcliff as innocent and pure, untainted by negative factors that will disrupt it in the future. Later in the novel, Edgar, a good friend and neighbor of Catherine, proposes marriage to her, and she accepts. This engagement is tainted, however, by Catherine's still strong feelings for Heathcliff. She pleads to her servant and confidant, Nelly, about how she feels. "He's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same," (70). In the above quote, Catherine's decision to marry Edgar is circumspect because of her unerring love for Heathcliff. She even goes as far as to say that they are the same person which really shows just how close a connection they share. Her indecisiveness here shows that what Dobell said about possible problem caused by her conflicting love for both men because problems will be caused because of this wary decision to marry Edgar while still in love with Heathcliff. Within a few years, Catherine develops a serious illness, which puts her on the verge of death. She and Heathcliff have a final, passionate meeting, where all their passions and emotions are expressed. Catherine, married to a man who is not her true love, has spent the last years of her life regretting not being with Heathcliff and now blames him for their separation. "I wish I could hold you "till we were both dead! I only wish us never to be parted- (137). The aforementioned quote shows the pain that was caused by their separation and that Catherine wishes to be with Heathcliff eternally. Here, one can see a parallel between their relationship at this point in the novel, and when they were little and Catherine hated to be apart from Heathcliff and when dying, Catherine wishes to be with him even after she is dead.
