2) She doesn’t seem to realize that a relationship outside marriage would not be sanctioned by society.

3) The theme of love is among the most important in the play.
4) Their union was hindered (hampered?) because they belonged to different social classes (because of their different social status).

7) A marriage to him (and not with) him would mean separation from Heathcliff.
8) Their relationship is not only based on physical desire but is one of the soul (and not “it is based on the soul”?)
9) They achieve mutual respect and admiration only through the painful process of stripping away misunderstanding and self-deception. (Can you also say: “going through the painful process.....?)
10) She doesn’t have any affinity with him. She has no affinity with him.
Theirs is a love based only on convenience since she aims at improving her social status.
11) She stands apart (and not she sets herself apart) from other women since she refuses to take on the role which society tends to impose on her.

12. OK as written.
