The hatred between The Crown Jewel and Wuthering HeightsWhen reading the two works, The Crown Jewel and Wuthering Heights, it was impossible not to notice the obvious prejudice. The terms used to describe other races were offensive, I also noticed the treatment of many characters due to their skin color. One of the novels was set in 1801 and the other in 1942, but both illustrate horrible prejudices. Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte is a classic novel from the 1800s. At first it was shocking to read about the gypsy boy Mr. Earnshaw brought home called "a gift from God, though he is dark almost as if from the devil." (Pg 28. Bronte, Emily. Wuthering Heights. Norton Critical ed. 3rd ed. Ed William M. Sale, jr., and Richard J. Dunn. New York: W. W. Norton, 1990) Not once in this child's first meeting they called him child or even like him they called him "it" (Pg 28,29. Bronte, Emily. Wuthering Heights. Norton Critical ed. 3rd ed. Ed William M. Sale, jr., and Richard J Dunn. New York: WW Norton, 1990) When Mr Earnshaw explained why he had brought the boy home, he used phrases such as "seeing him starving", "asking about his owner" and "who owned him". (Pg 29. Bronte, Emily. Wuthering Heights. Norton Critical ed. 3rd ed. Ed William M. Sale, jr., and Richard J. Dunn. New York: W. W. Norton, 1990) The Horrible Way People Thought to the gypsies the Heathcliff boy offended me at first and then I remembered the period of the novel. Unfortunately, this was standard practice for the time, although despicable and normal for the time. The trend continued for a hundred years because the novel The Jewel in the Crown had the same tones about the Indian people as the novel. Lady Chatterjee was not allowed into a club because she was Indian. (Pg 106 Scott, Paul. The Jewel in the Crown. [1996.] Vol. 1 of the Raj Quartet. Rpt. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1998.) Many times in this novel too there is blatant bias. Sister Ludmila felt that it was "an unnatural context for the attraction of white to black, the attraction of the opposite" of a white woman and a (black) Indian man. (Page 150 Scott, Paul. The Crown Jewel.
