Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest as long as I am living. You said I killed you--haunt me then. The murdered do haunt their murderers. I believe--I know that ghosts have wandered the earth. Be with me always--take any form--drive me mad. Only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! It is unutterable! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!
Catherine Earnshaw expresses a deep longing and despair, pleading for her presence to remain with her forever. She challenges the ghostly notion that the murdered haunt their killers, reflecting her intense emotional pain and feeling of being haunted by loss.
Her words reveal a desperate desire for eternal connection, even in ghostly form, as she cannot imagine life without her loved one or her soul. The passage underscores her profound grief and the destructive power of that love and longing, emphasizing her inability to find peace.
