Heaven did not seem to be my home; and I broke my heart with weeping to come back to earth; and the angels were so angry that they flung me out into the middle of the heath on the top of Wuthering Heights; where I woke sobbing for joy.
The quote reflects a longing for the divine or heavenly existence, suggesting that the speaker felt more at home in heaven than on earth. This sense of longing causes deep sadness and emotional pain, highlighting a desire to escape earthly struggles. The speaker’s heartbreak and tears emphasize a profound disconnect with the earthly realm that feels alien compared to the serenity of heaven.
In a surreal turn, the angels, angered by the speaker's desire to leave, cast them down onto the harsh, desolate Wuthering Heights. Despite the tumult and harsh environment, the speaker wakes up overwhelmed with joy, indicating a complex mix of emotions—perhaps relief, a sense of liberation, or acceptance of their earthly existence. The passage captures themes of longing, spiritual conflict, and unexpected moments of happiness amidst suffering.
