The dichotomies used wilderness/tamed, violence/innocence and death/maturity are in tune with which seems to be Bronte´s ideas of childhood. On the one hand as a reflection of her romantic ideas in some aspects she seems to think that childhood is a kind of prison in which characters are trapped, but on the other hand, influenced by Victorian’s ideas, she identifies childhood with a period of happiness from what children have to growing up to a life of misery and crime.
