How accurately does this novel relfect events in history? What responsibilities does the author believe exist between various groups in society, such as workers and bosses, men and women, blacks and whites? What people, ideas, and events probably influenced this author? I think Wuthering Heights was very accurate with reflecting events in history, even though there was not any historical events listed, but Emily followed the time inthe eighteen-hundreds very well. I think Emily believes taht women were lower than men, therefor women have more responsibilities than men. Women have to do the cooking, cleaning, they must cater to other people before themselves. Men just have to be the man of the house and work. I also think Emily believes that white people have different responsibilites than those of a different race. Mrs. Dean described that Heathcliff looked like he was of Spanish descent, so he was discriminated against. I think the author believes that people of the white race have the respobsibilities of ruling over the people who are not of their color and they people of different races have to be their servants and do whatever they say. I believe that some events in Emily's life influenced Wuthering Heights. I think maybe some of the things she witnessed as a child and an adult helped create the story line.
