My sugary images of sweet-smelling muffin day smiles and chocolate colored ponytails bouncing on Dad’s knee were burnt when my husband took out a stopwatch.

That stopped his smiling instantly. He stiffened. ‘Why, you little bitch,’ he said.” (Kidd 39) Here, it is shown that T. Ray is a heartless and spiteful character, and does not seem to care about Lily’s feelings. To add to to T. Ray’s cruelty, Lily often punished by her father to the point where she runs away from home. “‘You act no better than a slut.’ [T.

Hindley abused him as a child, as Mr. Earnshaw liked Heathcliff better, which “bred bad feeling” between the two from the start (38). Things only got worse for Heathcliff when Mr. Earnshaw died and Hindley became the master of the house.
