Abstract
The major purpose of this topic is to analyze the gender discrimination in Emily Bronte's eminent novel ‘Wuthering Heights'. How, in this novel, the women characters are portrayed as mere meek, timid, and submissive, irrespective of their roles in the novel. How they have become ‘the second sex', the weaker one, suppressed under the patriarchal system of the then society. Even, in the writing of a female novelist, they have never become bold enough to break the shackles of the stereotypical notion of women's submissiveness, weakness, imperfection as the representative of the feminine gender; rather they are always treated as the weaker one, the second in rank in the society, only after men.
