Book title: Wuthering Heights






Author: Emily Brontë
From chapter three to four, it began to reveal the past of Wuthering Heights. Heathcliff was adopted by Mr. Earnshaw. Since he was Gypsy, Mrs. Earnshaw and her son, Hindly disliked him very much. Hindly even bullied him. Unlike Hindly, Catherine was thick with Heathcliff. Though Heathcliff was treated badly, he seldom complained. Therefore, the maiden thought that Heathcliff was not vindictive at all. However, she said she was deceived, and she would explain it.


With the reveal of past, it shows the problem of racial discrimination and gender inequality. The book was a work of nineteenth century. Why do discrimination and inequality still exist after two hundred years? Though human has great progress in science and technology, it seems that our mind doesn’t follow up that progress because we still think some races are privileged and men are more powerful than women. How to effectively eliminate the two problems is worth being discussed.
