Yes. Wuthering Heights also relates to social classes. In the beginning of the story (chronologically) The Earnshaws represent the lower class living at Wuthering Heights. The Lintons, at Thrushcross Grange, represent the high class.

The Earnshaws demonstrate the characteristics of wild, dirty, relaxed, casual, hard workers. Whereas, the Lintons are refined, proper, gentle, quite, highly educated, and well respected. This is because the Earnshaws have less money, and the Lintons are wealthy.

The twist begins when Catherine Earnshaw stays at the Lintons' Thrushcross Grange and becomes a "lady." Once Catherine E. becomes proper, she craves being in the higher class, therefore marries Edgar Linton, even though she loves Heathclif.

Aside from all the revenge and love triangles, this book is much about social economic classes and the problems which come, when the two clash.
