However it became famous at last, though I dont know why; I just came across with the book in the bookstore and somehow bought and shelved it on the top of my bookshelf until the book review homework came to me. Consequently the book didnt give me a splendid fist impression, at least not better than Jane Iyre, which is always talked about and complimented among girls. However, after reading the book, the “never judge a book from its cover”theory was deeply rooted in my heart. The meaning of“cover ”here is not only limited to the coated paper that protects the book and attracts readers, but also the public comments on the book. I seldom hear of comments on Wuthering Heights, so I thought matter-of-factly that the book would be a boring stuff; however I was totally wrong. Wuthering Heights demonstrates us a life profile in a deformed society, the distorted humanity in this society and various dreading events resulted from it, by the hand of a tragic love story. Actually the whole plot of the story can be divided into four parts which develops gradually: The first part narrates the childhood of Catherine and Heathcliff who lived together all the time, the special feeling in the special environment between an orphan and a miss, and the revolt against the tyranny of Hindley Earnshaw. The second part focuses on Catherine betrayed Heathcliff, married Linton Edgar and became the hostess of Thrushcross Grange. In the third part, the author uses a lot of time emphasizing on how did desperate Heathcliff turn the hostility in his chest into the practical plan and action to revenge. Although theres nothing else important except the death of Heathcliff in the last part, the revival of humanity of Heathcliff after he saw the love between young Catherine and Hareton was prominently demonstrated, which make readers feel warm and relieved after the breathtaking desperation at last. The love, hatred, revenge and humanity recovery, hence, is the essence as well as an uniting thread of the whole novel. Emily condensed her painstaking efforts on the image portrayal of Heathcliff, to whom she placed all of her indignation, sympathy and ideal. The orphan who was exploited of all the warmth he deserved cultivated strong emotion of love and hostility in his life; the mistreatment of Hindley taught him about the cruelty of the life, as well as yielding to his miserable fate silently. However, he chose to revolt with Catherine, who was his devoted partner, an genuine love germinated between them in the proceeding of resistance. However, Catherine at last betrayed Heathcliff and married a man she didnt love at all. The immediate cause of this tragic love story is her ignorance and vanity, as a result buried her own love, her own youth, her own life, her own Heathcliff, even almost her own children. When Emily portrays the image of Catherine, her sympathy as well as wrath was apparently expressed; she was grievous for her unfortune but angry for her flaccidity at the same time, her emotion towards Catherine was full of contradiction. The biggest turning point of the whole story is the betrayal of Catherine and her miserable life after her marriage, which turned Heathcliffs love into engraved hatred; and this hatred exploded and became the motivation to revenge for himself after Catherines death. His aim achieved: not only did he tortured Hindley and Edgar until they died and monopolized two manors, but the next generation was also suffered from his flame of vengeance. The crazy abreaction of wrath and hostility seemed to contradict with common sense but expressed his extraordinary rebellious spirit which was moulded by the special environment. The tragedy of Heathcliff was a tragedy of the society as well as the whole era. Wuthering Heights ended with the suicide of Heathcliff after his purpose of revenge had achoeved. In my opinion, his death was the last expression of his love for Catherine-at least they were together after they died. Whats more, he abandoned his plan to mistreat the next generation before his death, which showed his good nature distorted by the cruel reality. The revival of humanity illustrates Emilys noble humanitarian ideals. Wuthering Heights has been regarded as “the most peculiar novel” on the English literature history due to the subversion of the sentimentalism style which was popular at that time, replacing pale melancholy with strong love and violent hatred and the ruthless revenge occured from them. It is just like a special lyric poem with abundant imagination and smashing emotion, and full of artistic power to strike peoples heart. “I am the only being whose doom, No tongue would ask no eye would mourn; I never caused a thought of gloom, A smile of joy since I was born. In secret pleasure - secret tears, This changeful life has slipped away; As friendless after eighteen years, As lone as on my natal day.” This poem from Emily Bronte perfectly demonstrates the desperate loneliness of her. Different from his sister who created a world for everyone, she created a world for herself. On the wuthering field without anyone, she was also bursting her passion and youth, like a volcano with overwhelming power. Emily never curried favor with the aesthetic orientation of the public, she was extremely sensitive but also firm and resolute as a man. There was a classic remark on her character by Virginia Woolf: “Emily was inspired by some more general conception. The impulse which urged her to create was not her own suffering or her own injuries. She looked out upon a world cleft into gigantic disorder and felt within her the power to unite it in a book.” Emily had got a kind of power form the loneliness in her own world. She solely stood out of the square forever, viewing the whole world with her indifferent but warm eyes. The observation had given Wuthering Heights an incomparable power which made us dread, excited and moved. “My great miseries in this world have been Heathcliffs miseries, and I watched and felt each from the beginning: my great thought in living is himself. If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger: I should not seem a part of it. My love for Linton is like the foliage in the woods: time will change it, Im well aware, as winter changes the trees. My love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneath: a source of little visible delight, but necessary. Nelly, I am Heathcliff! Hes always, always in my mind: not as a pleasure, any more than I am always a pleasure to myself, but as my own being.” This is the most moving part to me. The love between Catherine and Heathcliff was so incredible that they engraved themselves so deeply in each others spirit. Emily constantly searched for a way, a way to love over secularity and morality. The woman was doomed to be alone all her life because there would be no man can understand her splendid grief, there would be no strength can overwhelm the mysterious power from her spirit. She was just like a hazy to some extent mabe the most bliss heroine. She found and was loved forever by another herself, she said,”Im Heathcliff.”Salute to the extraordinary Emily, as well as the extraordinary Wuthering Heights. 呼啸山庄英文读后感 Published in 1847， WUTHERING HEIGHTS was not well received by the reading public， many of whom condemned it as sordid， vulgar， and unnatural-and author Emily Bronte went to her grave in 1848 believing that her only novel was a failure. It was not until 1850， when WUTHERING HEIGHTS received a second printing with an introduction by Emilys sister Charlotte， that it attracted a wide readership. And from that point the reputation of the book has never looked back. Today it is widely recognized as one of the great novels of English literature. Even so， WUTHERING HEIGHTS continues to divide readers. It is not a pretty love story; rather， it is swirling tale of largely unlikeable people caught up in obsessive love that turns to dark madness. It is cruel， violent， dark and brooding， and many people find it extremely unpleasant. And yet-it possesses a grandeur of language and design， a sense of tremendous pity and great loss that sets it apart from virtually every other novel written. The novel is told in the form of an extended flashback. After a visit to his strange landlord， a newcomer to the area desires to know the history of the family-which he receives from Nelly Deans， a servant who introduces us to the Earnshaw family who once resided in the house known as Wuthering Heights. It was once a cheerful place， but Old Earnshaw adopted a “Gipsy“ child who he named Heathcliff. And Catherine， daughter of the house， found in him the perfect companion： wild， rude， and as proud and cruel as she. But although Catherine loves him， even recognizes him as her soulmate， she cannot lower herself to marry so far below her social station. She instead marries another， and in so doing sets in motion an obsession that will destroy them all. WUTHERING HEIGHTS is a bit difficult to “get into;“ the opening chapters are so dark in their portrait of the end result of this obsessive love that they are somewhat off-putting. But they feed into the flow of the work in a remarkable way， setting the stage for one of the most remarkable structures in all of literature， a story that circles upon itself in a series of repetitions as it plays out across two generations. Catherine and Heathcliff are equally remarkable， both vicious and cruel， and yet never able to shed their impossible love no matter how brutally one may wound the other. As the novel coils further into alcoholism， seduction， and one of the most elaborately imagined plans of revenge it gathers into a ghostly tone： Heathcliff， driven to madness by a woman who is not there but who seems reflected in every part of his world-dragging her corpse from the grave， hearing her calling to him from the moors， escalating his brutality not for the sake of brutality but so that her memory will never fade， so that she may never leave his mind until death itself. Yes， this is madness， insanity， and there is no peace this side of the grave or even beyond. It is a stunning novel， frightening， inexorable， unsettling， filled with unbridled passion that makes one cringe. Even if you do not like it， you should read it at least once-and those who do like it will return to it again and again. 呼啸山庄英文读后感 Many people in the world are trying to find a perfect of these may marry and not know what their new husband or wife is kind of situation often leads to separation or hostility. Other situations may develop between two friends that stem from jealousy, desire for revenge, uncaring parents, etc. Emily Bronts Wuthering Heights displays several characteristics of destructive relationships. Three of these are uncaring parents, marriage without knowing the person, and jealousy. Uncaring or unsympathizing parents are shown throughout this story to be an element of destructive relationships. Because Heathcliff gained all the attention from Mr. Earnshaw, Hindley became disassociated from his father. This separation continued until after Mr. Earnshaw had example is between Hindley and Hareton. Hindley became such a drunk and a gambler that he could not properly care for young Hareton. This led to a separation between Hareton and his father as well. One primary example of an uncaring parent is shown between Heathcliff and his son did not even want his son for anything except enacting a part of his revenge. This is shown by Lintons fear of Heathcliff and Heathcliffs enmity toward his son. Linton even says “. my father threatened me, and I dread him - I dread him!“(244) to express his feeling about hostility and separation between father and son in this book shows that uncaring parents can cause serious damage in relationships with their children. This element of destructive behavior may stem from an unhappy marriage in which the husbands or wives dont know each other. This had happened between Isabella and Heathcliff. Isabella did not really know Heathcliff when she married him, but after she had married him she saw that Heathcliff was not a gentleman at all. To declare her feelings she wrote “Is Heathcliff a man? If so, is he mad? And if not, is he a devil? I shant tell my reasons for making this inquiry; but I beseech you to explain, if you can, what I have married .“(125). Another example of this is when Catherine married Edgar Linton. Although she had been happy at the beginning of the marriage, she thought having parties all the time was going to be fun. Yet, after a while, she became bored. She also realized that she loved Heathcliff more than Edgar and would always love enlightenment created separation between Edgar and Catherine during the final hours of Cathys life. An additional marriage which was made that was doomed was the one between Catherine and Linton. Because this was a forced marriage, Cathy had not yet learned all she could about she did not know until after the marriage that Linton was selfish and inconsiderate, she became distress
