Furthermore, there is some suggestion, never confirmed, that her daughter Hapsy died in childbirth. The story’s text alludes to this by
Joseph represents one of these: the conventional, institutionalised notion of morality based on religion and the word of the bible. From Catherine’s point of view, this sort of morality is seen as restrictive and forceful. Joseph regularly tells young Catherine and Heathcliff to ‘think o' [their] sowls’, as they giggle and have fun during bible readings. Aside from this, the first we hear from Catherine is the words etched into her bible about the days she has spent with Heathcliff.

He must constantly please
Using a female character makes it more powerful to challenge the authorities and the norms. The wife likens to the priests who use the literature badly and wrongly to vindicate their acts. The wife’s misusing of literature shows that she is unschooled. The wife shows us herself to be in opposition with the patriarchal society she lives in. When she talks against society’s norms, she talks in a dialogical

As in one of her paintings the scene on the bus was bizarre. Frida’s clothes had come off in the collision and covering her bloodied body was a sprinkle of gold dust. When her body arrived at the hospital she was not expected to live. A year after the accident it was discovered that her spine had not healed properly and for the rest of her life she was forced to wear rigid corsets.

Her self-portraits became a dominant part of her life when she was immobile for three months after her accident. On July 4th, 1932, Frida Kahlo suffered a miscarriage in the Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit.
