Wuthering Height was written just after the Victorian gothic era, so some people thought it was a bit of a joke and didn't think it fitted in with the gothic style. But as the book was read by more people they thought it was a disgrace because it talks about love, sexual tension and society, where as the people were concerned they did nothing of the sort. They were uptight snobby people you did "not" desire lust or sexual tension. There is a tension between Heathcliff and Catherine, as Heathcliff loves Catherine but Catherine is always toying with it. He needs her, she only needs his love, as she wants to be loved by all men. Hence why she marries Edgar Linton. She also marries Linton because she wants to help Heathcliff with his degraded situation as Hinley (Catherine's brother) has set him down as a servant for his hatred and love from his father. It shows how society was mean in this era, it degraded people quickly. It was set with revenge and hate.

not sure about the second one, but social class is a vital role because it causes Cathy and Heathcliffs relationship to fall apart. even though she loves him, she says that she cant marry him because it would 'degrade her'. she's a wealthy young lady from a respectable family, and he's just an orphan working on the land (:
