    Catherine decides to marry Edgar. She explains to Nelly that she would never marry Edgar except that Hindley has debased Heathcliff’s social status so much that she could not marry Heathcliff. Heathcliff overhears Catherine’s conversation with Nelly and leaves Wuthering Heights. Unfortunately, he does not hear the rest of the discussion, in which Catherine describes how much she loves Heathcliff.
