@RushTheSilver no in the book she did mention that when heathcliff visits her for the very last time her hair where short.

@june1935 symbolic.

The best version in a movie ...thanks so much for posting it!!!

I do like this version, but I must say... this guy is FAR too kind and gentle to be Heathcliff.

@RushTheSilver I don't really recall any mention of this brain fever contracted by Cathy at twelve years old in the book. She falls ill at 19, if I'm not wrong.
-
@RushTheSilver Actually, I was just reading the book through again, and Nelly does mention, in Chapter XVI, Cathy's hair being "partly removed at the beginning of her illness," though they probably didn't hack nearly all of it off like in the movie.

My favourite sentence in the whole thing: I cannot live without my life, I cannot live without my soul.. so tormentedly beautiful
why did they cut her hair

@june1935 It's not mentioned in the book if her hair was cut. However, earlier in the book Emily Bronte mentions brain fever Cathy contracted when she was about twelve, and as there were no sure ways of curing brain diseases back then, the physicians suggested cutting the patient's hair so that they could bleed her if symptoms worsened.
