Question

Someone knows the quote from wuthering heights where heathcliff says: had he been in my place, and I in his..?

Answer 1

It's in chapter 14, probably a few pages into it, but closer to the beginning of the chapter than the end  Heathcliff is talking to Ellen about how he feels about Catherine and Edgar Linton being together.  He's saying that he loves Catherine so much he would never harm Edgar, because that would cause her pain.

Answer 2

'And there you see the distinction between our feelings: had he been in my place and I in his, though I hated him with a hatred that turned my life to gall, I never would have raised a hand against him. You may look incredulous, if you please! I would never have banished him from her society as long as she desired his. The moment her regard ceased, I would have torn his heart out, and drank his blood! But, till then - if you don't believe me, you don't know me - till then, I would have died by inches before I touched a single hair of his head!'

Answer 3

Heathie was just saying he refused to play the blame-game.
