insert their opinions. Some characters, such as Mr. Earnshaw, see great value in a servant’s opinion and rely on it. Other characters in Wuthering Heights choose to ignore a servant’s advice or see this opinion as a threat to their higher position.

On the other hand, some servants slack off…

would tease me and had PREJUDICE against me because I was taller than most girls my age. I believe that if my class would have gone through a workshop such as this one that maybe their attitude towards my height would not have been what it was. To this day I have issues what it comes to my height and I am not that tall I am 5 feet 10 inches tall; I also ironically married a man that is 5 feet 8 inches tall. I still slouch down around people shorter than me especially if I am in a group and I am…

Heathcliff’s and Catherine’s bond is described as an addiction because when…

effects lead the person to believe that they are unimportant and that they are incapable of living a normal life.

Dracula and Wuthering Heights: Did They Conform? Both the novel Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte and Dracula by Bram Stoker conform to the societal norms of their time but not in a direct way. The characters in Wuthering Heights like Catherine for example, do make decisions like marrying Edgar Linton instead of Heathcliff which is a reasonable decision as she wants to keep her status and be rich.
