with the transformed Heathcliff. Cathy and Edgar, are both
enraged, but for different reasons. Although Heathcliff thinks
that Isabella is silly and weak, he pursues her in order to get
revenge on Edgar and, perhaps, to get her property. Shortly
after, Cathy falls ill. Delirious with fever, she imagines
herself back with the young Heathcliff. While she lies ill, he
and Isabella elope.

By the time the newlyweds return to live at Wuthering
Heights, Cathy is sufficiently recovered to recognize Heathcliff
when he sneaks into her room one day. Each accuses the other of
betraying their love. That night Cathy dies in premature
childbirth. When Heathcliff learns of her death, he beats his
head against a tree and begs her ghost to haunt him.

Meanwhile, Isabella's love for Heathcliff has turned to hate.
The day after Cathy's funeral, Isabella flees to Thrushcross
Grange to confide her troubles in Ellen. Hindley, driven mad by
the knowledge that he gambled away his property to Heathcliff,
had tried to kill him the night before. In the ensuing

to see her and the son, Linton, she bore not long after leaving
Heathcliff. Edgar brings Linton home to Thrushcross Grange
after Isabella dies, but the next day Heathcliff claims his son.
Cathy doesn't see Linton again until three years later, when she
meets Heathcliff for the first time.

Heathcliff takes Cathy to Wuthering Heights, where she is
briefly reunited with Linton. Heathcliff tells Ellen that he
intends the two to marry. Despite Edgar's ban on communication
between the two households, Cathy secretly exchanges love
letters with Linton until Ellen finds out and puts a stop to it.
The next time Cathy runs into Heathcliff, he tells her that
Linton is dying of love for her, but when she goes to see him,
they fight. Heathcliff has turned Linton's natural peevishness
into maliciousness. Cathy continues secretly to see the boy,
however.

Edgar is dying, and fears for Cathy's future. Since he has
