Question

Which parts of this passage from chapter 6 of Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights illustrate that Catherine is a strong and spirited person who can bear pain silently?
I had Cathy by the hand, and was urging her on, when all at once she fell down. "Run, Heathcliff, run!" she whispered. "They have let the bull-dog loose, and he holds me!" The devil had seized her ankle, Nelly: I heard his abominable snorting. She did not yell out—no! she would have scorned to do it, if she had been spitted on the horns of a mad cow. I did, though: I vociferated curses enough to annihilate any fiend in Christendom; and I got a stone and thrust it between his jaws, and tried with all my might to cram it down his throat. A beast of a servant came up with a lantern, at last, shouting—"Keep fast, Skulker, keep fast!" He changed his note, however, when he saw Skulker’s game. The dog was throttled off; his huge, purple tongue hanging half a foot out of his mouth, and his pendent lips streaming with bloody slaver. The man took Cathy up; she was sick: not from fear, I’m certain, but from pain.

Answer 1

Actually, the answer is B. She did not yell out—no! she would have scorned to do it, if she had been spitted on the horns of a mad cow. This shows her enduring pain in silence and being strong.

Answer 2

Answer: b. She did not yell out—no! she would have scorned to do it, if she had been spitted on the horns of a mad cow.

Explanation: In the given excerpt from chapter 6 of Emily Bronte's "Wuthering Heights" we can see the contrast between Catherine and Heathcliff, when Catherine is holded by the dog, even when she was in terrible pain, she doesn't scream, she just whispered Heathcliff to run, and this demonstrates that she is a strong and spirited person who can bear pain silently.
