Along with the emergence of this industrial revolution came a class conscious society. The new London would benefit the wealthy and the middle class but exploit and oppress the working and poor classes. The social changes taking place in England between 1801 and1847 provides context for an appreciation of Wuthering Heights. As industrialization spread, a growing middle class challenged the position of landed gentry. The Earnshaws and Heathcliff represent this moment. Heathcliff‘s rise from an orphaned urchin to landholder in Wuthering Heights is a paradigm for the origins of capitalism within society. Heathcliff was a fatherless child when he was brought into Catherine‘s family. He has some wildness and strength in his bones. Belonging to a lower class, he tries to get his rights by opposing the upper class. He must do what he wants to do and follows his nature but does not care about others‘ attitude.

She wrestles with the selfwilled and rational, dead with painful. Education conducted by the European Upper class In the early 19th Century, when UK was a classic patriarchy society with a strong sense of hierarchy and class contradiction, divided human into several levels. Their working people not only were exploited and oppressed by the corrupt landed aristocracy, but also ruled by the emerging bourgeois nobles. Meanwhile women and proletariats were oppressed too, whose personal rights had been deprived. Too much education would ruin girls, making them unfit for marriage and motherhood. Consequently, most middle and upper middle class girls were taught little beyond basic reading and writing, and instead were trained in acplishments, such as music, drawing, and dancing, to better attract eligible suitors. As far as they were concerned, marriage was the best home they turned to, on which their all success or failure depended.
