Comparing Hate in The Jewel in the Crown and Wuthering Heights :: comparison compare contrast essays

Hate in The embellish in the Crown and Wuthering Heights   While exercise the two works, The Jewel in the Crown and Wuthering Heights, it was impossible to miss the blatant prejudice.   The terms used to describe other races were offensive, I also noticed the interference of many of the characters because of their skin color.  One of the fictions was set in 1801 and the other in 1942 still they both illustrate horrid prejudices.   Emily Brontes Wuthering Heights is a classic novel from the 1800s.  It was shocking at prime(prenominal) to read about the Gypsy boy that Mr. Earnshaw brought home referred to as. a gift of God, though its as dark almost as if it came 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 the first meeting of this child did they call him a child or pull down as him they referred t o him as it (Pg 28,29.  Bronte, Emily.  Wuthering Heights.  Norton Critical ed. 3rd ed. Ed William M. Sale, jr., and Richard J. Dunn.  New York W.W. Norton, 1990)   When Mr. Earnshaw was explaining why he brought the boy home he used phrases like seeing it starving inquired for its owner and whom it belonged. (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 the people thought about the Gypsy child Heathcliff offended me at first and then I remembered the period of the novel.  That was unfortunately, standard practice for the era although despicable normal for the era.   The trend continued for one hundred years because the novel The Jewel in the Crown had the same tones about the Indian people in the novel.  Lady Chatterjee was not allowed in a club because she was an Indian.  (Pg 106 Scott, Pau l.  The Jewel in the Crown.  1996. Vol. 1 of the Raj Quartet.  Rpt. Chicago University of Chicago Press, 1998.)   Many times in this novel, as well there are blatant prejudices.  Sister Ludmila felt it an unnatural context the attractor of white to black, the attraction of an opposite of a white woman and an Indian (black) man. (Pg 150 Scott, Paul.  The Jewel in the Crown.
