Throughout this story it is fairly evident how great of an impact an upbringing has on the characters and who they become. The different upbringings result in completely contrasting characters. For example, we'll begin with the Earnshaws. They were raised upon the Moor, a harsh, cold and storm-ridden environment where they spent their childhood working and playing.This quote truly shows the struggles they faced; “On that bleak hill top the earth was hard with black frost, and the air made me shiver through every limb.” (Bronte). This created strong, resilient, assertive characters with a deep connection to the nature they were raised in and the people they were raised through it with. On the other hand, the Lintons were raised on the Grange, in a luxurious mansion with maids and servants. They were sheltered from any of these harsh conditions and were not made to work. Basically, they were raised with a silver spoon in their mouth and it resulted in sensitive, dignified, and respectable characters but also led to them being much more frail and cowardly then the Earnshaws, Also given the fact Edgar is willing to disown his own sister while she begs for forgiveness, while Heathcliff fights viciously to pursue his partner when she goes astray, the connection they feel is not as strong either. This upbringing is the building blocks to who the characters become and plays a huge role in the story. So the question would be, does how your raised truly determine who you become or is there other factors which could alter it?
