Inside the story

Meet Hareton Earnshaw

Hareton Earnshaw is Hindley Earnshaw’s son, living at Wuthering Heights under Heathcliff’s control. Robbed of his birthright and kept ignorant, he has grown into a rough but good-natured young man with little education or power over his own circumstances.

On the page

A handsome, powerfully built young rustic with thick, rough brown curls, whiskers encroaching bearishly over his cheeks, and hands embrowned like a common labourer's; his bearing free and almost haughty despite shabby dress.
