CHAPTER 22

This chapter begins in early autumn. As the life of summer draws to an end, characters take on characteristics of the dull fall season. Mr. Edgar Linton’s health is progressively getting worse. And young Catherine is lonely, as her relationship with Linton had been severed. Cathy’s father could no longer spend time with her, so Nelly took on the responsibility of occupying her. One day they decided to go for a walk to get Cathy’s mind off things. Cathy expresses her fear of being alone to Nelly: “Oh it will be something worse; and what shall I do when papa and you leave me, and I am by myself?” –Cathy pg 212. Nelly replies, “It’s wrong to anticipate evil” and smoothes over Cathy’s fear. As the walk continues, Cathy climbs up to the top of a wall, where she drops her hat and falls to the other side. Soon, Mr. Heathcliff appears and manipulates the situation. “I swear Linton is dying”- Heathcliff pg 215. He urges Cathy to come to the Heights to visit Linton the following week. Cathy believes Heathcliff’s lies and persuades Nelly to take her to the Heights the following morning.
