Capitalism is developed and increasingly exposed its inherent defects;between labor and capital contradiction; the unemployed workers poverty; a large number of child labor was brutally tortured to death(which from the same period of British famous female poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning's poem"the cry of the children", can see some picture).Coupled with the British governmentrepressive democratic reform to struggle and the workers' movement: such as the 1819Peter road massacre is an example.

Because of poor living conditions, Maria and Elizabeth suffered from tuberculosis died, Charlotte and Emily survived, then studying at home together withbrother Bo Lan Will. The family always keep oneself to oneself, four brothers and sisters willoften with reading, writing poetry, and fictionstory to spend the lonely time. Charlotte andBo Lan Will to think Angelia Dynasty as the center to write novels, and Emily and his sisterAnn creates a they called Gangduoer Pacific Islands to make up a story.
Although their home near ho ChillingworthIndustrial Zone, however, the house is located in between urban and wilderness. Emily oftento desert her sisters to walk in the west. So on the one hand the Bront sisters saw developingtowns in the capitalist society, on the other hand is also affected by the atmosphere of theinfection in the wilderness. Especially Emily,her surface be scanty of words, but passionate heart, although not understand politics, but very interested in politics. The three sistersoften see liberal or conservative party journals,like talking about politics, which of course isinfluenced by their father. Petric Bront is amore radical conservatives, early German movement against crossing the, later also helpho Chillingworth workers, and support theirstrike. Emily and her sister had inherited his sense of justice and sympathy for the handicraft workers rebellion. This would create the conditions for the birth of "Wuthering Heights".
The family income is very few, rather pushed for money.The three sisters have often go out to make a living, to supplement the family income by teaching or a governess,a few years history by hardships. Charlotte had intended to open a school of their own, so she and Emily went to Brussels to study for a year, then because ofbrokenhearted and leave Charlotte. In 1846 they ownfundraising pseudonym published a Book of poetry the, but only sold two copies. In 1847, their three sister's three novel, the finally published, but only "Jane love" successful,great importance has been attached to. "Wuthering Heights" publishing is not the readers to understand, even her own sister, Charlotte also can not understand the thought of Emily.
In 1848, their only brother Bo Lan Will due to long-term alcohol abuse, drug abuse, also infectious pneumonia, died in September, although the family tyrant of death to the three sisters is a relief, however, as the focus on Charlottesister's letter said: "fault and evil have been forgotten, the remainder is pity and sadness occupy the mind and memory......" Tributes to Bo Lan Will Emily to the grave to shorten the journey, in December of the same year, Emily finally died. Their little sister also died in second years in May, when the last member of the family only Charlotte andher father.
This one later well-known literary world of very talentedyoung woman writer, was so regret to leave only to have her taste the indifference of the earth, silently and three members of her family only to say goodbye! She once wrot!She once wrote in a poem maiden in:
"I was the only person who meant to be nobody, nobody cryof mourning; ever since I was born, never caused the firstconcern, a happy smile. The secret of joy, tears in secret,the changing so over the life of eighteen years are still helpless, as the day I was born in the same lonely......."
At last she laments in the same poem:
"At first, but the hopes of youth is melted, and then a fantasy iridescent quickly back off; and then experience told me, said the truth never grows up in the humanmind......."
But she wanted to cheer up and make a difference, but has been struggling to afford, this painful ideological struggle and was on the brink of despair, can also be found in herthe same period in the poem: "now when I wish singing, my finger was struck a chord and the lyrics are not sound; the refrain is still the 'don't struggle,' all is in vain."

to fight Heathcliff and shows fear at the prospect, earning both Cathy's scorn and solidifying Heathcliff's contempt. Linton is incapable of competing with Heathcliff's guile and ruthless determination across the decades, and his health fails him while still a relatively young man. Isabella Linton is the younger sister of Edgar who becomes infatuated with Heathcliff. She fundamentally mistakes his true nature and elopes with him despite his apparent dislike of her. Her love for him turns to hatred almost immediately, as she is ill treated both physically and emotionally and held captive against her will. When Heathcliff returns from the Grange after Cathy's death she taunts him and he responds by trying to attack her, but Hindley interferes and she escapes the Heights. She leaves for London after visiting Nelly at the Grange and gives birth to their son Linton Heathcliff about seven months later, whom she attempts to raise away from Heathcliff's corrupting influence. Hindley Earnshaw is Catherine's brother and Heathcliff's other rival. Having loathed Heathcliff since childhood, Hindley delights in turning him into a rough servant upon inheriting Wuthering Heights, making him work the fields. However, his wife's death from consumption destroys him; he becomes a self-destructive alcoholic and gambler and it is this that allows Heathcliff, upon returning to Wuthering Heights, to turn the tables and to buy the mortgage to Wuthering Heights which Hindley created because of his gambling debts, and to become its owner. Northern Yorkshire. In the foreground heaths. Ellen (Nelly) Dean is, at various points, the housekeeper of both Thrushcross Grange and Wuthering Heights, and is the primary narrator of the novel, told through M. Lockwood's journal entries. She is Hindley's, Heathcliff's and Cathy's foster-sister and servant, and is the same age as Hindley, seven years older than Cathy. Heathcliff genuinely likes her and is always glad to see her. She recognizes early on that Heathcliff is Catherine's true love and tries to dissuade her from the disastrous marriage to Edgar. Having been a disapproving witness and unwilling participant to many of the events between Heathcliff and both the Earnshaw and Linton families for much of her life, she narrates the story to Lockwood during his illness at the Grange. It is presumed that she never married as she keeps the name Dean throughout her life. It could be considered that she is the true hero of the story, and without her many of the events in the story would never have taken place; however, she is not the primary protagonist. Linton Heathcliff is the son of Isabella and Heathcliff. He bears no physical resemblance to Heathcliff whatsoever and takes after his mother completely, with big soft blue eyes, fair golden hair, and slightly effeminate in appearance. However he has a certain petulance, cruelty and selfishness, and exploits his ill health to get attention from others. He is a sickly child who grows up ignorant of his father until his mother's death when he is thirteen years old. He is forced to live at Wuthering Heights and grows into a bullied, trembling shadow of his father. Heathcliff arranges for him to marry his cousin Catherine Linton so that he may inherit both the estates of Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange. He dies shortly after entering into the forced marriage. Catherine Linton is the daughter of Catherine Earnshaw and Edgar Linton. She inherits both her mother's free-spiritedness and dark eyes and her father's gentle nature, facial features and fair hair. Heathcliff takes advantage of her fundamental innocence and manipulates her into marrying his own son, Linton. She has a strong affection for Linton despite her father's and Nelly's attempts to keep her out of the reach of Heathcliff's machinations, and never wavers in her friendship to him. Unaware of Linton's failing health, she is manipulated into traveling to the Heights, where Heathcliff forces her to remain and marry his son before she returns home to her father, who is dying as well. Once she has become a captive of Wuthering Heights Heathcliff resorts to the same torture he applies to everyone against whom he bears a grudge; he is also violent towards her and cannot stand to have her in the same room with him. As a result, she becomes harpyish and unfriendly. When Nelly is allowed to move to the Heights she helps Catherine return back to her true nature and kindness. She later falls in love with her cousin, Hareton Earnshaw. Hareton Earnshaw is the son of Hindley Earnshaw, who is adopted by Heathcliff upon Hindley's death. He is described as a handsome rustic with the dark Earnshaw eyes, and bears a likeness to his aunt and father. Heathcliff once saved his life; he caught him when Hindley accidentally drops him off the banister of the staircase; however he regretted the act. Heathcliff spitefully turns Hareton into an illiterate servant and has him work the fields, much as Hindley once did to him. Despite this, Hareton remains strangely loyal to him, and considers him his father. Quick tempered and easily embarrassed, he falls in love with Catherine Linton early on, and despite her contempt for him is thus inspired to improve himself. He is the only person who mourns Heathcliff upon his death. Joseph is a servant of the Earnshaws and later Heathcliff. A bullying, lazy and snide man, he hates Heathcliff but is bound to serve Wuthering Heights and the sense of duty he feels to Hareton, who he calls the true master. Intensely religious, he is sanctimonious, self-righteous and largely held in contempt by those around him. He speaks in the traditional West Yorkshire dialect. This dialect was still used in the Haworth area up until the late 1970s, but there are now only portions of it still in common use.[5] Lockwood is the narrator of the novel. A newly-arrived tenant at Thrushcross Grange at the beginning of the novel, he is intrigued by the curious goings-on at Wuthering Heights, and persuades Nelly Dean to tell him the story of what happened during a bout of sickness. Lockwood is apparently a wealthy, relatively young man who comes to regret not approaching the younger Catherine Linton himself. Despite having a reserved manner and somewhat lofty ideals of himself, he is also a sensitive and romantic soul who is deeply affected by the saga of Heathcliff and Catherine. It is inferred that he lives in London and returns there after his stay at the Grange. Frances Earnshaw is the wife that Hindley married while away at college. The fact that he did not tell his father suggests that Frances is not of high social standing. From her introduction she proves to be a kind woman to Nelly and Cathy but follows Hindley's example and dislikes Heathcliff. While Hareton is an infant she dies from consumption, or tuberculosis, a fate shared by most of the Brontë sisters. She had shown symptoms of her illness ever since Hindley brought her to Wuthering Heights, but at that time Nelly did not know what to make of her violent bloody coughs and fear of dying. Mr. Kenneth, the local doctor and drinking partner of Hindley. Kenneth often sees to the ill or dead characters: Cathy in her madnesses, Frances during childbirth and TB, Heathcliff and his early illness, Edgar's final hours, and Hindley's death. Nelly tells Heathcliff that he should send for Kenneth to tend to his ill son, but does not tell him that Heathcliff's death is suicide by starvation. He also reports to Nelly that he saw Isabella leaving with Heathcliff.
