Abstract

Emily Brontë portrays the social reality of the 19th century and demonstrates her legal knowledge in Wuthering Heights (1847). The purpose of this article is to explain the main social conflict of the novel: Heathcliff revolts against the capitalist society that has dared to exclude him and sheltering himself within the framework of the current legality manages to appropriate the two properties of the novel with the purpose of achieving the social status of which he has never enjoyed.
