The author Emily Bronte, shows parenting styles in two ways; positive and negative. In other words parents showing care for their children, and parents who have a more abusive approach. Parenting truly reflects how kids were parented as they were grew up.
Heathcliff was adopted as a young boy of the streets of Liverpool by Mr. Earnshaw, and is shown complete favouritism over Earnshaw's birth children, Hindley and Catherine. Growing up, my sister and I received equal love from both parents, and that's all I'm used to. Mr. Earnshaw's relationship with his children showed otherwise. This style is not entirely fair as it resulted in jealousy on Hindley's part. Mrs. Earnshaw also disliked Heathcliff. Nelly mentions to Lockwood "I was frightened, and Mrs. Earnshaw was ready to fling it out of doors: she did fly up, asking how he could fashion to bring that gypsy brat into the house, when they had their own bairns to feed and fend for." (Bronte 41)
Now as most loving parents would really show love and care, they also show protectiveness for their children. Mr and Mrs Linton, over at The Grange, portrayed more of a "normal" parenting role. They raised their children Edgar and Isabella to be well mannered and gentile. Instilling social ambition in their kids and to anyone staying at their house.
A lot of children who aren't fortunate to have the guidance a love from their parents look towards another member of society as a parent role, whether it's an aunt, a maid, or even a older friend. Nelly Dean, a house maid at Wuthering Heights, acted as a mothering role to the children in the story.
Wuthering Heights is a good representation of the many parenting styles and approaches.
Do you think the way you are brought up as a child will result in how you will parent when you're older?
