Open House for Love: The open doors of the house are inviting to Heathcliff, not only physically, but also emotionally. The openness of the setting seems to directly correlate with his profession of love to Cathy as she is on her deathbed. The house beckons him to enter, as Cathy's heart has wanted him to enter into her life ever since he left three years ago. Although the mood of the Wuthering Heights is highly ironic due to Cathy's death, one can presume the happiness is a reflection of her emotions upon learning that her feelings for Heathcliff are mutual. In death, she has found life through his love.
