So if you just seal(this) in the constructor of the superclass the subclass can't add properties to the object. function Person(name) { this.name = name; Object.seal(this); console.log(this instanceof Person, Object.getPrototypeOf(this) === Person.prototype); // true false when doing new Pirate() } function Pirate() { Person.apply(this, arguments); this.eyepatch = true; } Pirate.prototype = Object.create(Person.prototype); var captain = new Pirate('Blackbeard'); console.log(captain.eyepatch); // undefined Juan
