본문내용

Wuthering Heights, written by Emily Bronte, is a sophisticated psychological study of human nature; it is a story of love, or rather obsessive attachment, between Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw(Linton) which ruined two families, Earnshaw and Linton, and brought death to themselves. Hindley, a brother of Catherine Earnshaw, was a major victim whose life was disastrously destroyed by Heathcliff. At the same time, however, Hindley’s abusive and violent treatment of Heathcliff was one major cause of Heathcliff’s fury and revenge. Considering the fact that children’s characteristic is formed not only by genetics but also by environment around them, I wondered what made Hindley so abusive and violent. Among many possibilities, I think the “lack of motherhood” in his childhood cultivates Hindley’s abusive and violent traits, showing how important the “motherhood” is in one’s childhood.
I believe the “motherhood”, which Hindley couldn’t enjoyed, is one of the most important factors to form a child’s characteristics because a mother was a caregiver and role model for their children. Traditionally, mother has been mostly responsible for raising children, while father has been working outdoors; I cannot say the same rule can be uniformly applied in these days, but it was true especially in the 18th century of England, the social background of this novel. When Hindley lost his mother at age of twelve, still very young, he started to experience a “lack of care”. There is no one who cared for him; his father Mr. Earnshaw faded and became peevish; Joseph remained not interested in kids but abusive; young kids don’t like Hindley.
