So often now you've emphasized that Heathcliff and Catherine's love is romantic, not platonic, and that it's more physically-focused and less purely spiritual than it's sometimes interpreted. With this in mind, do you think it's an inherently sexual love, or do you think it's valid to view it as asexual? "Romantic" and "sexual" aren't the same thing, after all. Do you favor the interpretation that sex is unimportant to them, or that unfulfilled sexual desire is key to their story?

“Do you favor the interpretation that sex is unimportant to them, or that unfulfilled sexual desire is key to their story?”

I favor neither. I don’t think that Heathcliff’s tortured state after Catherine’s death is about not having had the chance to have sex with her or that when Catherine goes mad it is because she is sexually frustrated. I think they would still be each other’s whole world and obsession even if they didn’t have any sexual longings. But I think that they would have sex if they got the chance to. I think their love has a sexual side to it. It is not the basis of their love but it is a side of their love. They both wanted to marry each other. There is the bed=grave imagery. There is Heathcliff’s desire for the eventual fusion of their corpses. And their last meeting before Catherine’s death isn’t platonic, it is a literary love scene: They kiss multiple times, Heathcliff holds her so strongly that he bruises her arm, as @dahlia-coccinea pointed out a couple of times Catherine is preemptively jealous of Heathcliff forming another family with another woman.

That being said, I would debate with someone if they said that their love is not romantic love, because I think it absolutely is; but I wouldn’t try to change the mind of someone who thinks that their love is asexual because I think it is open to interpretation.

I definitely don’t think that Wuthering Heights is primarily a story about unfulfilled sexual longing or lust. Absolutely not. I just, personally, can’t see their love as completely asexual.

"For what is not connected with her to me? and what does not recall her? I cannot look down to this floor, but her features are shaped on the flags! In every cloud, in every tree--filling the air at night, and caught by glimpses in every object by day, I am surrounded by her image! The most ordinary faces of men and women--my own features--mock me with resemblance. The entire world is a dreadful collection of memoranda that she did exist, and that I have lost her!"

"Well, Hareton's aspect was the ghost of my immortal love, of my wild endeavours to hold my right, my degradation, my pride, my happiness, and my anguish--"

"I'm too happy, and yet I'm not happy enough. My soul's bliss kills my body, but does not satisfy itself." - Heathcliff to Nelly, ch 34, WH

"If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger."

Emily Jane Brontë , Wuthering Heights

[wild-wickedslipofagirl]

how can two dysfunctional, broken people be so perfect for each other yet so wrong, how can they hurt, despise, hate each other so much and yet get sick if one of them leaves, like their lives are linked, like they can only live while breathing the same air as the other one, how can they love each other so much and still make their lives a misery, destroying everything surrounding them, just because they love each other, it's such a toxic and powerful combination of two completely different people that share the same passionate soul. how can they die for each other yet they will never, ever accept being together, they would never even consider letting go of their vanity so they could make their potential relationship work, why do they keep making everybody's lives miserable just because they love each other, why would they rather die in a long and painful way instead of living happily ever after?

im telling you, THIS is the reason why wuthering heights is worth every page read

"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!"
