Wuthering Heights1939

Cathy:
[about his plan to marry Isabella and neglect her] Oh Heathcliff, you must not do this...she hasn't harmed you.

Heathcliff:
You have.

Cathy:
Then punish me.

Heathcliff:
I'm going to. When I take her in my arms, when I kiss her, when I promise her life and happiness.

Cathy:
Oh Heathcliff, if there's anything human left in you, don't do this! Don't make me a partner to such a crime. It's stupid, it's mad!

Heathcliff:
If you ever looked at me once with what I know is in you, I would be your slave. Cathy, if your heart were only stronger than your dull fear of God and the world, I would live silently contented in your shadow. But no, you must destroy us both with that weakness you call virtue. You must keep me tormented with that cruelty you think so pious. You've been smug and pleased with my vile love of you, haven't you? Haven't you? Well, after this, you can think of me as something else than Cathy's foolish and despairing lover. You can think of me as Isabella's husband. And be glad for my happiness as I was for yours.
