“On July 30, 1818 Emily Bronte was born. Emily was born  in Bradford Parish, Yorkshire. She had died in 1849. She died when she was only 30 years old. All her sibilings at died at quiet a young age.

Her parents were Patrick and Maria Bronte.” (Magill56) “She was the fifth child out of six.” (Bronte9) “Her older sibilings names were Maria, Elizabeth, Charlotte, and Branwell and her little sister name was Anne. Branwell was the only male sibiling. He was not talked baout much” (Bronte9)

“Emily was known as the tallest of all of her sisters. She was a very slim young girl. According to a friend of her family she was very slim and graceful. She was known to have ‘kindling liquid eyes’ and  was a very reserved soul She always kept her thoughts hidden. She mainly stayed to herelf.

Charlotte wrote about her and stated that Emily was stonger than a man and simplier than a child, her nature stood alone.”  (bl.uk) “Emily was around 5 foot and 6 inches tall and known to be very strong. She was a lively member of her family. Beyond her family she did not have any friends. She would ignore anyone who was not included in her family and the characterisations in her novel Wuthering heights are extremely noticed and examined. ” (bronte.org)

“Her family made the unmanageable journey from Thorton to Haworth when she was around a year old. This was her father Patrick’s last shot at parsonage, a house provided to it’s clergy. Her mother died of Tuberculosis on May 6, 1825. The oldest daughter Maria was only 7 years old. Patrick lived fourty years after her death and all of the Bronte sibilings were dead by then. Emily family was quite different yet the were inseperable. They stuck together through the good and the bad.” (Bronte9)

“The bronte sibilings were all had similar interest. They were quite the creative bunch. Charlotte Bronte was the one to survive until the longest. There past time consist of using their imaginations to create writings and mysteries. Their interest brought them together and helped them bond. “Their father encouraged them all to be independent and physical. cassionally they would go outside to meander through the feilds and woodland.” (bl.uk)

“For fun when they were younger they created new worlds, drawings of maps, creating new stories, magazines that were micro-screenplay for the toys and toy soldiers. Her sister charlotte created a empire or kingdom named Angria. Emily and Anne created the breakaway island of Gondal. They were so cught up in this fantasy world.

“To say they were rather much poor they did not have many things to entertain them. They were very loneosme. There famiyl was getting smaller as time went on. As children they would have to appreciate what they had by using their imaginations.  “ (wuthering-heights.co.uk)

They were taught by their influencing father about various general academic and education. Their aunt, Elizbeth Branwell taught them about funds for a domestic order method and cleanliness.” (bl.uk)

“Emily had the least amount of schooling out of all of the Bronte sisters. She attended various locations of schools. First she went to Clergy Daughter’s school for six months. She attended Cowan Bridge at age six and spent three months at Roe Head School.

She was seventeen when she attended Dewsbury and 24 to 25 years old when she attended Pensionnat Heger, Brussels for nine months. She also at a point and time got taught at home by her Aunt Branwell and her sister Charlotte.” (bronte.org)

“Patrick thought that his second daughter elizabeth should become a housekeeper or servant. He thought the rest of the four should be governess. Emily went against this and the only employment she commited six months to Law Hill School near Halifax in 1838. She had much rather like to be at home, than anywhere else.” (Bronte9) “While emily was off at Law school she starved herself she was that homesick. She would starve herself when she was not getting her way or sorrowful” (wuthering-heights.co.uk)

 “Her father wanted the best for his kids. He was a poor Irish priest who wanted nothing more than to see his kids prosper . He had changed his last name from Brunty to bronte.  The bronte tale lives on throughout the years.” (wuthering-heights.co.uk)

“Emily was very much a home body and made a living out of it. She starting housekeeping and love the presence of their family’s elderly servant Tabotha Aykroyd. Their was not many jobs out there for women in the 1800’s. It has been told that Emily was only happy at home.” (bronte.org)

 Emily Bronte died of Tuberculosis on December 19, 1848. She was in the dining room when she had tried to approach the stairs to her bedroom. “After her brother had died of Tuberculosis she was having the symptoms. She assumed she caught it from Branwell because she cared for him while he was sick. Emily refused medical help until it was too late she had perished.

She was buried in the family vault underneatht the towering church. PAtrick her father was known to shooting his pistol every single morning. This church where her father had preached was partially rebulit after the bronte familiy’s death. This is now a memorial chapel built in the 1964.” (wuthering-heights.co.uk)

“Emily Bronte was a writer and was known for her only novel Wuthering heights. Emily and her sister Charlotte Bronte wrote over 200 poems. Wuthering heights was about a evocative of Gondal in it’s woodland atmosphere and passionate war between two families. Some describes this reading as ‘coarse and lonesome’.

If you did not love the book you probably hated it. It was a very deep dark book that was made for very mature readers. She did start another novel. After she died her sister Charlotte dimolished it.”  (bl.uk)

Some that have never read the book may have heard the false statement that it is considered to be an impassioned love story. It could have been called Romeo and Juliet on the yorkshire Moors. It was clear that the book was miunderstood.” (wuthering-heights.co.uk)

“Thenovel Emily wrote Wuthering heights was published by T . C Newby. This copy contined many errors and mistakes. This was only the sloppy edition. They used Anne’s Agnes Grey as the third volume to the book. After Emily’s death the second addition of her book was published in 1847.

  Her sister Charlotte corrected the book for the second addition. Wuthering heights was a ‘classic’. This book has somany diffent types of themes that is constructed with a series of direct motifs that intertwine and merge the sections of the setting characters and plot. Their was an irresepible bond between the Bronte sisters. They shared a irresepible bond, especially between Charlotte and Emily.“ (Magill57)
