Question:

Why Heathcliff could not marry Catherine even though they loved each other?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Heathcliffe overheard a conversation Catherine had with the housekeeper, Nelly. His understanding of that conversation was that Catherine felt it would degrade her to marry him.

Heathcliffe left without a word, and spent most of his life taking revenge on those whom he perceived had hurt him.
