Frances Earnshaw

Frances Earnshaw plays a secondary role in the novel. She is Hindley’s wife, Harter’s mother, who is soft and fragile. She died after the childbirth. She is a slender and painful girl, but the birth of her son undermined her poor health. In the summer of the next year, Frances gives birth to a son, Hareton, but she dies before the year is out. This leads Hindley to descend into a life of drunkenness and waste. Mentally and a physically weak woman causes a men’s sympathy, and they always want to help and to do everything possible for her, and sometimes even impossible. She is exhausted, tired and weak in health.
