I am Heathcliff

Catherine and Nelly are in the kitchen, none of them knows that Heathcliff is listening to their conversation.

Cathy tells Nelly about Edgar's marriage proposal and that she accepted. Then, Nelly asks her the reasons
why she did it, and Cathy replies she loves him for a series of material reasons: he is rich, handsome and
respectable.
She compares marrying Edgar to heaven, and states that she really loves Heathcliff, but can't marry him,
because he’s socially inferior. Heathcliff, who was overhearing the conversation, goes away full of
humiliation, so he will never hear Catherine say she loves him more than anything else.
She compares her love for Edgar to the tree’s leaves that fall to the ground; while her love for Heathcliff
is like the rocks on earth, eternal.
She said, “I’M HEATHCLIFF” because He's always, in her mind: not as a pleasure, but as her own being and
because their soul are the same
