During the time, women were seen as obedient and submissive, not allowed to discuss their thoughts and emotions that were "too much". Emily's writing style in Wuthering Heights shows her imagination that did not fit the societal norms of the time, as she wrote women to be with purpose, stubborn and impactful.
