Isabel Linton

I was listening to a song by Reo Speedwagon "Keep on Loving You" where it was saying that you should have known by the .... But you didn't listen and I suspect it is a popular archetype who hasn't heard the phrase that "Love is blind" and who epitomizes that more than Isabel Linton. If you are scratching your head thinking who the heck is Isabel Linton, never fear I will remind you.

In the story of "WutheringHeights" the center stage of your thoughts are consumed by the extreme love of Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff and then perhaps the love triangle created by the introduction of one Edgar Linton. Well, he has a sister who Heathcliff also decides to try that whole marriage thing out on someone and it is Isabel Linton who keeps on loving Heathcliff despite warnings. It is curious that Isabel and Heathcliff's daughter ends up looking almost exactly like Catherine Earnshaw who is in no way a blood relative of this girl. Although Heathcliff is an adopted brother and Isabel a sister-in-law.

Another point of interest that I will toss in here with love and it's blindness. I wrote a poem that asked "what is beauty to the blind?" Rhyming,ofcourse, I ask further "when they seek what do they find?" Yesterday I read about a study that was groundbreakingly, though questionable ethically. Somehow I had never even heard of it. A man had every sensation shut off via his CNS and brain and it was wondered if this person could still kniw or sense things from God.... Ooooh time to jet.
