Inside the story
Frances Earnshaw is Hindley Earnshaw's giddy young wife, brought unexpectedly to Wuthering Heights after the funeral of old Mr. Earnshaw. As the new mistress of the house, she joins a family already strained by changes in Hindley's position and household.
A thin but youthful woman with a fresh complexion and eyes sparkling as bright as diamonds; nervous and easily startled, breathing quickly and coughing from consumption.
