There were few trees and houses on the Yorkshire moors and strong wind blew days and nights. On this moors began our story. The Earnshan family lived in a house called Wurthering Heights for centuries. One day Mr. Earnshan, the master of this house, brought a strange gipsy orphan named Heatheliff back home to let him be a new member of the family. It seemed very unacceptable to the daughter of Mr. Earnshan, Catherine, and her elder brother, Hindley. However, Catherine and Heatheliff became good friends and even fell in love with each oth

The background of this story is 18th ~ 19th century. We can realize from the book that people in that period used to have a hierarchical concept. The gipsy people are seriously despised as evil creatures. It was very unfair in that period.

In 1824, the four eldest daughters were sent to Cowan Bridge School, a school for daughters of impoverished clergymen. The conditions were harsh and an epidemic soon broke out, taking the lives of Maria and Elizabeth. Charlotte becames very ill as well, and she and Emily were sent home to Haworth. About this time, Branwell, the only boy in the family, received a box of twelve wooden soldiers. The children began to write stories about them called the "Young Men" plays. In 1835, Charlotte became a teacher at Roe Head school and Emily joined her as a student. Emily, however, could not stand being away from her beloved moors, and became violently homesick. She returned home and her younger sister, Anne, took her place.

The story showed the dark side of human being so genuine. The characters, which are just like us, have weakness and their weakness lead them into unhappiness. The purpose that Mr. Earnshan brought Heatheliff to his family was to let his two children learn to be a kind person. But Hindly was so selfish that he treated Heatheliff so badly and it created Heatheliff¡|s hatred. Catherine was full of vanity. Although she clearly understood that her true love was Heatheliff, she still married Edger Linton because Edger¡|s wealth would make her a rich woman.
