Best Answer

Mr. Earnshaw, country squire, occasionally traveled to the city. When he returned with the "gypsy orphan" Heathcliff there are very few details given. The narrator's Victorian lack of curiosity leaves readers to simply accept that this event, central to the convoluted tragedy of Wuthering Heights, was unusual, but somehow beyond further consideration. I suggest that serious readers read over the passages concerning Mr Earnshaw's trips to the city, and many clues become apparent. Earnshaw had a relationship with Heathcliff's "gypsy" mother. Earnshaw's love of the dark gypsy orphan could be seen as quite natural if the child were his son, couldn't it? The enduring curse of the too passionate love between Heathcliff and Cathy also becomes understandable if the curse is the "shadow" of incest.
