Although Catherine deeply loves Heathcliff, she cannot confess her feelings due to the difference in status. Heathcliff leaves in anger and swears revenge. When Heathcliff returns, Catherine has married Edgar Linton, the master of Thrushcross Grange. Soon after, Hindley, Catherine, Isabella, and Edgar die one after another.
