Edgar is evidently not happy that his wife is thrilled that Heathcliff has made this appearance in their life.

"He had grown a tall, athletic, well-formed man; beside whom my master seemed quite slender and youth-like."

So what you're saying is Heathcliff is a daddy now. Got it.

If I was Edgar I'd be extremely suspicious of Catherine's response to Heathcliff having returned.

Oh man is Catherine about to get the shock of her life when she finds out the person who has come to see her is Heathcliff.

Heathcliff has returned! And he's here to speak to Catherine who has gone and married someone else.

Catherine must be struggling with how things ended between her, and Heathcliff I would imagine.

And we are right back into the story. Mr. Lockwood loves his tea that's for sure.

Ch. 9: Heathcliff saves Hareton from a nasty almost fall over the banister. The real tea of this chapter is when Catherine tells Nelly that Edgar has proposed. She seems hesitant and then admits that she loves Heathcliff but can't marry him since it would degrade her social status. Heathcliff unfortunately hears all this and flees from Wuthering Heights. Catherine and Edgar marry.

Catherine is surly and moody and treats everyone poorly. Her cousin lets her get away with it. Edgar is none the wiser as he proceeds to marry her a few years after his parents have passed away.

", I had the misfortune, when she had provoked me exceedingly, to lay the
blame of his disappearance on her: where indeed it belonged, as she well knew."

Nelly is totally right! Catherine is the one who drove Heathcliff away. This is all her doing.

Catherine very clearly upset my Heathcliff's absence.

Oh man, Hindley is about to blow his gasket when he finds out that Catherine has been kept up all night because of Heathcliff.

Omg I cannot understand a single word Joseph says.

" Dear! tell me what I’ve said to grieve him?"

Um, maybe you making intentions to marry another man and outright saying that you can't marry Heathcliff.

"whereas, if I marry Linton I can aid Heathcliff to rise and place him out of my brother’s power.’"

Okay so you'll forsake Heathcliff (who you really truly love) to ultimately help him in the end by marrying Edgar. What we have here my friends is a double-edged sword.

"He does not know what being in love is."

Girl, he just told you a chapter earlier that he keeps track of the time you hang out on a calendar! I'm pretty sure you aren't just friends.

"He had listened till he heard Catherine say it would degrade her to marry
him, and then he stayed to hear no further."

Oh my god no! Heathcliff overheard what Catherine just said.

"Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same;"

Ah this famous quote from this book.

". It would degrade me to marry Heathcliff now; so he shall never
know how I love him..."

I KNEW IT I KNEW SHE WAS IN TOO DEEP WITH MY GUY HEATHCLIFF.

"‘You may see some; and he won’t always be handsome, and young, and may not always be rich."

Solid advice Nelly. Bravo.

I love that Nelly is really putting Catherine through the paces: Do you love him? Why do you love him?

Damn Catherine is only 22. I'm forever thinking that these old books where women get married this young are nuts because I don't think I'd ever be ready for marriage that young.

Oooh Edgar Linton just asked Catherine to marry him, but she hasn't given him an answer. My guess is she's got it bad for Heathcliff, but she can't marry him because she's afraid of what everyone will think.

Heathcliff just saved his son's life and here he is talking about killing him. Makes no sense.

OMG! Someone call CPS because Hindley dropped his son over a stair railing! What the hell!

Wait, is Hindley actually shoving a knife into Nelly's mouth?

Ch. 8: Frances has died and left the baby, Hareton, to Nelly. Hindley treats Heathcliff even poorer if that's even possible. Catherine struggles with her duality of being one version of herself with Heathclif and another with Edgar Linton. Catherine has an outburst and attacks Nelly as well as Hareton. Edgar and Catherine profess their love for each other. Hindley returns home during all of this.

I mean seriously Catherine, if you're going to resort to violence what did you expect?

Omg she's pinching the help?! Catherine, you need to stop.

Okay its probably just cause Catherine is pissed at Heathcliff but I'm not a fan of the way she's talking to Mrs. Dean here.
