So they're all cousins?


Catherine is cousins with Linton via her Aunt Isabella (Edgar's sister). And cousins with Hareton via her Uncle Hindley (Cathy's sister).

Crazy.

Yes,they are all cousins.In those times it was something common to marry your first cousin.I also think it's crazy.

reply

yes, but not unusual in those times. marriages between first cousins were not considered unusual until comparatively recently. Charles Darwin married his first cousin for example. And in many places marriages between first cousins are still considered perfectly respectable.
