Heathcliff’s reaction to Catherine’s death is extraordinary and abnormal, never the less expected. Heathcliff thought out the novel has been depicted as something of dark nature, and devil like essence so for him to pray “his heart quelled and he prayed” shows a deep contrast in the depiction of his character, Bronte could have done this to emphasis the depth Catherine’s death pushed Heathcliff to. Heathcliff tries to hide his weakness and vulnerability; he tries to create a lack of sadness “attempting a sneer” by doing this Bronte creates an image of a man in disbelief who is taking reality as a joke , thus making the reader emphasize more with Heathcliff. As Heathcliff’s reality sets in , it becomes more clear how unstable he is , as his let alone unable to “pronounce the name” , at this point it is almost as if the “inward agony” within Heathcliff is awaken , and is one of “frightful vehemence”, and no limits . Nauture is a part of all of us , it is our life source so for someone to attack it , is something of great abnormality , even in some ways a possible for of treason. Heathcliff hits his head against the “knotted tree trunk” by doing this it was his way of attack nature , because nature took away Catherine , he had to get revenge , this could be considered the turning point , as at that time , its clear that Heathcliff will have his revenge on all that participated in his downfall no matter it be human or even bigger than everybody in this world.
