I respect Cathy, in a weird way. I am very impressed at her ability to manipulate others, but at the same time I am horrified. I think that she has a deep understanding of the human mind and peoples motivations. She could use this knowledge for good or evil, and she chooses evil. It is rather hard hard to think that Cathy is a real person, or at least character, in the book. I truly enjoyed the part in chapter 11 when Charles went against Cathy and I hope to see some more of their interactions in the novel.
