They do seem quite unnecessarily violent, don't they?
I didn't like this part of the book either. As a child when I read it I was wondering why she didn't try to climb out of a window or something, but then when you see the design of the house I suppose it would've been impossible.
Heathcliff seems more like a monster every week!
These chapters were so bizarre to me--all the violence and the forced marriage even though Cathy said she'd do it willingly. So dramatic!
