The beginning of the novel lays the foundation for all of the themes that are to follow. Catherine and Heathcliff are almost immediately attached to one another. This friendship blossoms and when everyone else seems to despise Heathcliff, Catherine alone stays with him. Even at this early age one can see Heathcliff's hateful nature starting to show itself. Catherine is the only person or thing that he truly cares about and loves.
