In emily bronte’s novel Wuthering Heights, on the first page it says;
The “walk in” was uttered with closed teeth, and expressed the sentiment, “Go to the deuce”: even the gate which he leant manifested no sympathising movement to the words….
i thought if i wrote it in context it would be easier. I really dont understand what is meant by that.

The deuce is an old way of saying “the devil” a bit more politely. My grandmother used to use the expression now and again.
Its why the US never implemented a $2 bill. Too many religious folks there.

To me, worship is putting something or someone first in your life. That is the reason people can worship their job, their money, their family, their “belly”, etc. And that is reason people can give worship to those other than Jehovah. But when Jehovah is first is your life, it is to him that you pray, that you sing about, that you speak about, that you read about, that you live for, that you long for, that you look forward to listening to and about, that you seek the approval of, that you study about, that you teach about, that you reach out to. He is your other half in a spiritual relationship. And spirituality cannot be complete without that other half. The definition of worship is multi-faceted, as are the expressions of worship. We speak of “worshiping in many ways”. And that is correct. I don’t mean all forms of worship are acceptable. But that our worship takes on different facets or expressions. We can’t sing and study at the same time. But both are worship. We can’t study and pray at the same time. But both are worship. There is more, but I will stop here.

I think it is the equivalent of ” Go to the devil”, or much stronger words would be used in modern day English.
-
i think it means “die”. Deuce means god in many languages (originated in latin i think, but not sure). So it could mean, go to god i.e. up to heaven.
-
It just means “go to the devil.”
-
It means ‘go to the devil’, or ‘the devil take you’. Both are used when bad luck is wished by the speaker to the recipient.
-
go to hell is what i think it means.
