A suspicious Nelly finds out that Cathy has been sneaking away to the Heights during her illness. Nelly forces the truth out of her, and Cathy briefly takes over the narrative. One day, she runs into Hareton, who tries to impress her with the fact that he can now read his own name above the door. She just mocks him and goes into the house. Nelly promptly tells Edgar about Cathy's visits to the Heights; again, she is forbidden to go there.
QOC :
“One time however, we were near quarrelling. He said the pleasantest manner of spending a hot July day was lying from morning till evening on a bank of heath in the middle of the moors, with the bees humming dreamily about among the bloom and the larks singing high up overhead, and the blue sky and bright sun shining steadily and cloudlessly. That was the most perfect idea of heaven’s happiness: mine was rocking in a rustling green tree, with a west wind blowing and bright white clouds flitting rapidly above”
The difference between Cathy and Linton is vast , Bronte uses words such as “dreamily” and “rapid” to emphasis the difference between Cathy and Linton. This further swaps the roles of dominance and male and female (stereotypical views) are swapped by doing this Bronte creates a satire of all What Heathcliff stands for , this not only amuses the reader but creates a sense of sorrow for both Cathy and Linton as they are just puppets in Heathcliff’s game.
