This view of the infantile aspect of Cathy’s love may be taken further. When Cathy contends that Heathcliff represents an existence of hers beyond her and that ‘he’s more myself than I am’, she is, in fact, expressing the desire for an impossible symbiosis, for a state of non-differentiation between the self and Other which, the psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan contends, belongs to the realm of the psychological Imaginary. In this state the infant imagines a condition of absolute unity in the dyadic relation to the mother, in which no distinction exists between self and Other, or subject and object. In order to achieve subject the infant must come to recognize itself as part not whole; or, in other words, in order to occupy the ‘I’ position, the infant must recognize the existence of that which is not – I. Lacan argues that a significant step in this process occurs with the mirror phase, when the infant comes to recognize its reflection in the mirror (either the literal mirror or the ‘reflection’ of the self given back to the infant by the perceptions of others). With this in mind, it is significant that Catherine proves herself incapable of recognizing her own reflection as, near death, she yearns for union with Heathcliff.“Don’t you see that face?” she enquired, gazing earnestly at the mirror. And say what I could, I was incapable of making her comprehend it to be her own; so I rose and covered it with a shawl. Having characterized it as infantile, it is important none the less to recognize that Cathy’s longing for Imaginary union and completeness is not in itself aberrant. In fact, Lacan suggests it is an ‘eternal where identity is meaningless’. However, it does represent the very opposite of mature sexuality, as outlined by the French feminist theorist, Luce Irigaray: “Love is either the mode of becoming which appropriates the other to itself by consuming it, interjecting it into the self until it the self disappears. Or love is the movement of becoming that allows the one and the other to grow. For such love to exist, each one must keep its body autonomous. One must not be the source of the other, nor the other of the one. Two lives must embrace and fecundate each other with no preconceived goal or end for either.” Furthermore, this Imaginary state is irrecoverable for the human subject precisely because it involves an abandonment of subjecthood or individual identity, and thus the pull toward it, though universally felt, represents a pull toward either psychosis or death. Significantly, when Edgar confronts Cathy with the stark adult choice she must face – ‘Will you give up Heathcliff hereafter, or will you give up me? It is impossible for you to be my friend, and his friend at the same time, and I absolutely require to know which you choose.’ - Cathy first collapses, then declines into madness and death. Read in this way, the novel is far from the story of perfect love, but rather the exploration of the impossibility of such desire. (Excerpt from Introduction of the Penguin Classics 1995 edition of Wuthering Heights)

That book has always disturbed me because of the nature of love in it. I don't actually like any of the characters. Good article Mel.Give me a bit of Jane Eyre any day of the week, that book is so full of sexual tension and love it makes me shiver. Who's up for a game of badminton? I've strung a line across the camp and I need a bit of an energy release as I am dwelling on negative feelings too much. Something has to give! IP: Logged |

And the beautician has to make some smart a$$ comment like "wow, who cut your hair?" as she crinkles up her nose.. lol!badmitten!! I've been wanting to play badmitten lately!

Wheels... PICTURES!!! lol Come out with me for my birthday tonight. You and 26T, my fake polyamorous relationship bih'ches. Chyld, it's weird you made that reference because my mother touched the back of my daughter's hair today and said, "did someone cut her hair?" and I got to use the old comedic line that follows that question. The comedian says that a hairstylist will ask in this bratty elitist voice, "WHO cut this haaair!!????" and the customer answers back, "YOU did". And anyway, my mother just cut my daughter's bangs last week so it was funny to us and I guess you had to be there... hehe Anytime I try any impression it is funny, but not always for the right reasons... hehe IP: Logged |
