    This passage captures the tense clash between Nelly’s protective authority and Cathy’s rebellious longing, as Nelly enforces Edgar’s demand to cut off contact with Linton. Nelly’s firm refusal to allow even a “little note” reflects her loyalty to Edgar and her fear of Heathcliff’s influence, while Cathy’s imploring expression and secret attempt to write reveal her youthful defiance and growing attachment. The playful yet charged exchange—Cathy’s naughty look, her petulant “Cross thing!” and Nelly’s half-hearted repentance—underscores their complex, motherly bond, which balances discipline with affection. This scene foreshadows Cathy’s eventual entanglement with Wuthering Heights, as her desire to connect with Linton overrides Nelly’s warnings, setting the stage for tragedy.
