The_Forced_Marriage
O Casamento Forçado
One day, Heathcliff lured Cathy to Wuthering Heights. He locked her in a room and refused to let her leave until she married Linton.
Um dia, Heathcliff atraiu Cathy para Wuthering Heights. Ele a trancou em um quarto e recusou-se a deixá-la sair até que ela se casasse com Linton.
'Your father is dying,' Heathcliff told her cruelly. 'If you do not marry my son, you will never see him again.'
'Seu pai está morrendo', disse Heathcliff cruelmente. 'Se você não se casar com meu filho, nunca mais o verá.'
Cathy was terrified. She did not love Linton and did not want to marry him, but she could not bear the thought of never seeing her father again. She agreed to the marriage.
Cathy estava aterrorizada. Ela não amava Linton e não queria se casar com ele, mas não podia suportar a ideia de nunca mais ver seu pai. Ela concordou com o casamento.
The ceremony took place quickly, with no family or friends present. Cathy felt trapped and hopeless. She was now married to a man she did not love, in a house where she was a prisoner.
A cerimônia aconteceu rapidamente, sem família ou amigos presentes. Cathy se sentiu presa e sem esperança. Ela agora estava casada com um homem que não amava, em uma casa onde era prisioneira.
When the marriage was complete, Heathcliff allowed Cathy to visit her father one last time. She rushed to Thrushcross Grange, arriving just in time to say goodbye to Edgar.
Quando o casamento foi concluído, Heathcliff permitiu que Cathy visitasse seu pai uma última vez. Ela correu para Thrushcross Grange, chegando bem a tempo de dizer adeus a Edgar.
Edgar was heartbroken to learn of the marriage, but he was too weak to protest. He died a few hours later, holding Cathy's hand.
Edgar ficou com o coração partido ao saber do casamento, mas estava fraco demais para protestar. Ele morreu algumas horas depois, segurando a mão de Cathy.
With Edgar's death, Heathcliff became the owner of Thrushcross Grange. Cathy, as Linton's wife, had no legal right to the house. Heathcliff had won at last. He had taken revenge on Edgar and Hindley, and he now owned everything that had once belonged to their families.
Com a morte de Edgar, Heathcliff tornou-se o dono de Thrushcross Grange. Cathy, como esposa de Linton, não tinha direito legal à casa. Heathcliff venceu finalmente. Ele se vingara de Edgar e Hindley, e agora possuía tudo o que uma vez pertencera às famílias deles.
Cathy was left alone in the world. Her husband was weak and selfish, and her father was dead. She had no home of her own and no money. She was forced to live at Wuthering Heights with Heathcliff, Linton, and Hareton.
Cathy foi deixada sozinha no mundo. Seu marido era fraco e egoísta, e seu pai estava morto. Ela não tinha casa própria nem dinheiro. Ela foi forçada a viver em Wuthering Heights com Heathcliff, Linton e Hareton.
Mrs. Dean, the housekeeper, followed Cathy to Wuthering Heights, not wanting to leave the young girl alone. She tried to protect Cathy from Heathcliff's cruelty and to comfort her in her grief.
A Sra. Dean, a governanta, seguiu Cathy para Wuthering Heights, não querendo deixar a jovem sozinha. Ela tentou proteger Cathy da crueldade de Heathcliff e consolá-la em sua dor.
At Wuthering Heights, Hareton saw how sad Cathy was and tried to be kind to her. He brought her food and firewood, and he tried to talk to her. At first, Cathy was too proud to speak to him, but gradually, she began to see that he was different from his father. He had a good heart, despite his rough manners.
Em Wuthering Heights, Hareton viu como Cathy estava triste e tentou ser gentil com ela. Ele trouxe comida e lenha para ela, e tentou conversar com ela. No início, Cathy era orgulhosa demais para falar com ele, mas gradualmente, ela começou a ver que ele era diferente de seu pai. Ele tinha um bom coração, apesar de suas maneiras rudes.
