#2: The gypsie

"'Frightful thing! put him in the cellar, Papa. He's exactly like the son of the fortune-teller that stole  my tame pheasant. Isn't he, Edgar?'" (pg. 53)

As a reader through the first chapters I notice a dislike for Heathcliff for his appearance. However, this was made more clearly when the Lintons talk as if Heathcliff is a nobody. Which leads me to think that during that time period there was a racist view in part of the Bronte perspective as well as all the setting of the book. Furthermore, the way they refer to Heathcliff is as a frightful creature and a person without manners and undignified to even be in their presence, which in my point of view is a rude and kind of racist to the gypsies because one did something wrong and one judges the others because they are of the same race.
