Nelly has a pretty complex web of Sins, with no real Sin having ascendancy over the others. Wrath represents how she refuses to be bound to the misery of Heathcliff and Catherine's toxic relationship, Lust represents her desire for freedom, Gluttony how she does this for her own survival, and Pride how she's willing to do anything for it. Sloth may appear as a weird spot in the lineup since Sloth is inherently tied to indolence, which is contradictory to Nelly's endeavor. However, it makes more sense when one sees what she does at the end of the Canto; she goes back to Hermann to give her the Bought, and likely enroll in her rank. In other words, she ultimately leaves Wuthering Heights... to submit to someone else, someone who likely doesn't care for her, unlike Catherine or Heathcliff. It makes sense; she likely spent her entire life as a Butler, she doesn't know anything else, which will ultimately render her desire for freedom moot. That, by itself, is also a form of Sloth. Ryoshu possesses similar SIns, but since she's still loyal to the Edgar family, their interpretations differ. Lust and Pride represents her being, well, Ryoshu, with all that it entails, and Wrath represents her protection toward the Edgar family as well as her feeling guilty over the path Heathcliff has undertaken.
