There are two stereotypical types of families, one in which children learn from their parents' behavior and do the same as they grow up, and the other in which they don't like it and do the opposite. In Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte, the characters are quite intricate and engaging. The story is set in the north of England, in a rural and isolated area. The novel's main characters reside in two opposing families: Thrushcross Grange and Wuthering Heights. Wuthering Heights is the story of a dynamic love between two people. This love transcends all boundaries, including that of life and death. The author brings the parallelism to a large scale. Most of the events that happen in the first half of the story correspond to the events of the second half; the first generation of characters is comparable to the second generation. Many would argue that the characters are duplicates of each other and share many traits. Although Catherine Earnshaw and Cathy Linton are mother and daughter, their personalities and lifestyles are very different. This is a great example where the little girl is and behaves very differently from her mother. Catherine was born into a wealthy and solid family, where her father, Mr. Earnshaw, was a strict man, and her mother, Mrs. Earnshaw, was pretentious. woman. Through her presumptuous youth Catherine's immaturity is clearly explained. Born with a very strong attitude; she's the type who gets angry when she doesn't get what she wants. An example is: “when he learned that the master had lost his whip in serving the stranger, he showed his humor by smiling and spitting at that stupid little thing” (33). Catherine was never loved by her father, who felt the need to tell her: “No, Cathy, I cannot love you; you are worse than your brother. Go, middle of paper......and of joy and sorrow in Catherine's life, for their love was so powerful that it can only be embraced by the reach of death. Among many other important messages present in the novel, the most important are the changes that occur in and between the characters. The many characteristic aspects, the characters of the story are compelling. Although Cathy Linton can be recognized as a duplicate of Catherine Earnshaw due to the parallelism of generations, their traits and personalities are entirely individual. Cathy is an innocent and refined young woman, and Catherine is a selfish evil monster. Throughout the story the reader can clearly appreciate the mismatched characteristics of mother and daughter. And as psychologists have said: “Children often avoid the path followed by their parents.” Although Cathy does not experience her mother's ways, she lives the opposite way.
