1) Because Linton will come into Thrushcross Grange from Edgar. If Linton dies first, it is possible that Edgar might be able to make sure that Cathy gets Thrushcross.
2) Cathy is trying to get the key to the room in which Heathcliff has locked her and Nelly. Cathy bites Heathcliff’s hand and he hits her. Nelly then tries to stop him and he pushes her.
3) Edgar dies before his lawyer, Mr Green, arrives. Mr Green is late because Heathcliff has kept him at the Heights.
4) Heathcliff breaks off one side of Catherine’s coffin. He does this so that when he dies he can lie next to her. His own coffin will also have the side broken off nearest to Catherine.
5) Cathy has no money or property of her own. Heathcliff has made sure that Linton left all his money and Cathy’s (as his wife), to him. Heathcliff is claiming that he is the owner of Thrushcross through his own wife, Isabella. Cathy has no money or friends who can help her to fight this. So she has no choice but to stay at Wuthering Heights.
6) Cathy feels bored in her room and starts to go down to the kitchen. At first she makes rude remarks about Hareton but then realises that it is her fault that he is not friendly to her. She realises that she likes her cousin, and she is sorry for her past behaviour. She is grateful to him for defending her to Heathcliff.
7) Heathcliff has been like a father to Hareton.
8) Heathcliff no longer enjoys his revenge. Hareton, who looks very like her, reminds him of Catherine. He suffers terrible pain from her memory and because he lost her.
He cannot bear to see or think of Cathy, the child of his lover and his enemy. Nelly thinks that he now feels guilty about what he has done, though he denies this. He stops eating. He starts to act strangely and to seem oddly cheerful. He seems to see something, or someone, that is not there the ghost of Catherine. He has found her at last.
