And as for you, Catherine, I'm going to say a few words now, while we're at it... I want you to know that I know you've treated me hellishly... hellishly! Have you heard? And if you delude yourself that I don't realize it, you're a fool - and if you think I can console myself with sweet words you're an idiot - and if you think I'll suffer without taking revenge, I'll convince you of the opposite, in no time. (Brontë 82-83) After Catherine marries Edgar Linton, Heathcliff feels betrayed. He confronts Catherine about her act of betrayal saying she can't calm him down with some of her kind words.

One night, Heathcliff takes Isabella to Thrushcross Grange and they elope. Eventually, Catherine and Edgar find out about it and are otherwise shocked
