10、eat fascinations over its readers. Although Wuthering Heights is her only novel but it certainly proves her genius in rendering captivating description and super passion.It tells a story about love and revenge. In the 19th century, one strange boy named Heathcliff is brought to Wuthering Heights fro

11、m Liverpool by Mr. Earnshaw. He lives with Earnshaws son Hindley and daughter Catherine. Hindley hates Heathcliff, while Catherine likes him. After Earnshaw died, Hindley becomes the leader of the family and he regards Heathcliff as servant, so Heathcliff is insulted and ill-treated. However, Cather

12、ine and Heathcliff become good friends and love each other gradually. Mr. Edgar the next door often visits Wuthering Heights to pursue Catherine and she also shows love to him, too. When she agrees to marry Edgar, Heathcliff goes away with anger. As time goes on, Heathcliff brings love, jealousy, ha

13、tred, and revenge into the Earnshaws and the Lintons. It does not bring him real comfort to ruin other people s happiness. Heathcliff is immersed in mental pain and eventually he destroys himself and dies of despondent.In Wuthering Heights, Heathcliff and Catherine revolt Hindley s punishment and ru

14、n in the wilderness. They are lonely children. On this point, they are identical in spirit and soul. When Catherine betrays Heathcliff and marries to Edgar, they lost echo of souls and thus both of them suffer a great pain. Finally, they had no choice but to death to negate the physical separation,

15、in order to achieve the soul. Their love is associated with the abnormal and the absurd.n . Creative backgroundSocial originThe love tragedy reflects the social background. The society is the source of the love tragedy. As we all know, Emily Bronte lived in Victorian Times for three decades. Those t

16、hree decades are the era of unrest society in the United Kingdom. That time, the Industrial Revolution affected all the England, even the whole world: capitalism was developing and increasing exposure to its inherent defects. Followed by a conflict between workers and capitalists, the government had

17、 issued a number of laws to protect the interests of the rich, so the gap between rich and poor was growing. The unemployed workers were in poverty and a large number of child labor had been brutally tortured to death. This was followed by the outbreak of the famous "Charter of movement",

18、and the British Government took high-pressure on democratic struggle and the labor movement. That time, every Englishman's mind was like going through a hurricane, even in north remote areas, the landowners could no longer be like before that had nothing to suffer. Our writer, Emily Bronte, was

19、born in this era of struggle.The author's sources from herselfThe author's living environmentEmily lived in a remote desolate Yorkshire. In the west of the house there was an endless moor, covered with heather. There was also a stale churchyard. She was born in a poor family priest. When she

20、 was young, her mother died, and her life was distress. All of the education was mainly from his father. In order to maintain their livelihood, her old sister Charlotte Bronte, her young sister Anne Bronte and she had to be a teacher, which suffered from humiliation, feeling of discrimination and lo

21、neliness. This is her literary source of pessimism.The author's way of lifeThe barren, remote, gloomy and eccentric living environment and the natural silence made Emily isolated. Emily seldom left the gloomy Yorkshire moors that beyond one's imagination. She and her sisters often go to the

22、west of the wilderness to take a walk. But, in addition to the church and to go walking, she almost goes without leaving home. It's an enclosed environment, making her work show rare originality and send out a fresh and natural authenticity of the artistic charm. When she could not restrain a st

23、rong emotional, writing became her only expression of emotion. It was a long time to get the mind for herself since she begun to seek compensation from creativity and imagination. It s the source ofWuthering Heights.The author's personalityEmily Bronte was growing up with father's tough and

24、indifference. She is premature loss of the mother's affection and protection and should fight back his father's harsh and cold. Emily has the sense of inferiority, timid and introverted during childhood. She is inept and unwilling to be gregarious. She longs for love, but hasn't love; sh

25、e desires to be understood, but not to be understood. The way of life above-mentioned makes her develop the appearance of calm and the inner of firmness. The closed character makes her become depressed, stubborn, headstrong, sullen, and intolerance. She portrays the character of Heathcliff just like

26、 herself. She has invested the whole herself to the Heathcliff devoting her strong passion, anger and non-violent struggle. We can see that Heathcliff is Emily's self-soul.SummaryEmily, who owned a very introverted character, lived in an extremely small space and indulged in fantasies temperamen

27、t that she gradually indulged in the literary imagination of its own constructed world. She suffered from poverty of physical world and helplessnessof spiritual world. Loneliness made her the physical and emotional world was full of a sense of extreme disappointment and shattered.In Wuthering Height

28、s, there is no " I ; there is no family schoolmarm and there is no landlord. There is fbve"； however, it isn tthe love between man and woman. Emily is urged by some common views and she put them together in one book from the damaged world.Therefore, Emily desired to express her feeling thr

29、ough the love tragedy of rich and intense fantasy features, and expressed her strong dissatisfaction with social reality. These just created the conditions for the birth oWuthering HeightsHI. Tragedy s Reason3.1 Direct ReasonThe class difference is the direct cause of the class society, which lead t

30、o their love tragedy. Living in that society where was full of the view of class differences, Catherine and Heathcliff tragic fate was inevitable. They were destined to become the victims of class society.Catherine and Heathcliff had to bear the oppressed from the Mansions. Catherine was the daughte

31、r of Wuthering Heights, and Heathcliff was a gypsy boy, who was abandoned from his early age. They are in the different status. The class difference is the first Mansions. Catherine failed to break through it. The next Mansion is Hindley. Hindley could do whatever he wanted to do, because Catherine

32、and Heathcliff who were the subordinate status and were in the low level. They had no property and no right to choose, therefore, in the fight against the tyranny of Hindley, they were closed to the other. Catherine said, "I am Heathcliff". However, in the society which full of prejudice a

33、nd strong sense of class differences, this kind of love was fragile and Catherine realized their poor social status and eventually married to Edgar.For Catherine, the only way out was to comply with social values and married to a man who had almost the same status with her. She wanted to be a good w

34、ife and a good mother. She and Heathcliff 'love was simply not socially acceptable. For Heathcliff, in order to raise the status of his own, he continued to climb up and carried out crazy revenge to the Earnshaws and the Lintons, at the same time, he betrayed his own needs and aspirations, destr

35、oying his relationship with Catherine. Therefore, we can say that their love is split up by the prevailing prejudices of the bourgeois class.3.2 Indirect Reason3.2.1 Catherine ,s characterIts no wonder that each hero has its own character flaws and Catherine is not an exception. She is mixed with ma

36、ny characters. "Sometimes she is friendly； sometimes she is violent； sometimes she is gentle； sometimes she is agitated； sometimes she is enthusiastic and sometimes she is wayward ". Her fatal weakness is that she can not resist the elegantThrushcross Grangelives and her own vanity. In ord

37、er to satisfy her vanity and access to social rights and economic status, she married to the small owner of Thrushcross Grange.It was the beginning of this love tragedy.1 LonelinessCatherine, as Old Earnhaw' daughter, has never been his father's favor, and even a servant Joseph can punish he

38、r going hungry and hitting her. In Wuthering Heights where is the absenceof family warmth and fatherly situation, she grows up in the solitude of the spiritual world. Low family status makes Catherine inner loneliness. Regardless of all the punishment and intimidation, she can get rid of class bias

39、and stand by Heathcliff stubbornly. Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights was her only confidant. It's said that a lonely soul often confirm their existence by seeking for another lonely soul. Heathcliff and Catherine spew out the amazing love with a very strong possessive. It is just this love with a

40、n extremely possessive caused the piercing tragedy.3.2.1.2 Self-RighteousCatherine imagines helping Heathcliff improve his status by marrying to Edgar, so that her brother can not interfere. This is just her personal thoughts. Love is about both sides, this decision should be discussed with the othe

41、r half. This point is one of the necessary conditions to guarantee that the love is happy. She is too self-centered .She believes that her decision is made for Heathcliff, and for her love to him. She loves Heathcliff, but also Edgar. Although the latter is only a surface layer of love and admiratio

42、n, she does not carefully distinguish between the two men. Her self-determination ultimately turns into a great mistake. It ruins herself with her own hands, and destroys her youth, love, even life. Meanwhile, she ruins Heathcliff who loves her so deep and Edgar is also a sacrifice. She nearly hurts

43、 the next generation too.3.2.1.3 SelfishCatherine seemsto always just a wayward child whose love is non-rational and unconscious. When Edgar proposed to her, she did not distinguish herself on the Heathcliff ' s love and admiration Ed gar, and she also immersed in the little girl's excitemen

44、t and wonderful feeling for his proposal. When Mrs. Dean asked about her "Why", the answer is Edgar's "four advantages":youth, beauty, a large of property, and loving her. She has never thought that Heathcliff also has these advantages, maybe better. He is just without wealth

45、, which is untenable for her. Catherine has been fooled by the illusion and she judged Heathcliff unreasonably until she found Heathcliff was disappeared. She said: and he will be rich, and I shall like to be the greatest woman of the neighbourhood, and I shall be proud of having such a husba rid In

46、 order to be the greatest woman of the neighbourhood,she chosed to marry Edgar and abandoned Heathcliff. How selfish she is!Self-willed is the internal motive to abandon Heathcliff and marry Edgar. This is one hidden condition of the love tragedy.3.2.1.4 VanityHindley couples satisfied Catherine&quo

47、t;s vanity with fine clothes and courteous flattery. Why, Cathy, you are quite a beauty! I should scarcely have known you: you look like a lady now. Isabella Linton is not to be compared with her, is she, Frances ,so she felt embarrassed tobe impolite. After five weeks' residenceamong Lintons, C

48、atherine turned to be a lady with invariable courtesy and had the sense to be ashamedof being rude. In the place where she heard Heathcliff termed a vulgar young ruffian ' , and ' worse thanshe)itoOk care not to act like him".They instilled deep-rooted view of class into Catherine and m

49、ade her will destroy gradually, until Catherine said: " It would degrade me to marry Heathcliff now ".And she is unwilling to be a beggar after marrying Heathcliff. Catherine is so superficial that she thinks she will be the greatestlady if she can marry to Edgar. She looks forward to the

50、elegant Thrushcross Grange life and the upper life, so she tried to fuelled her vanity by marrying to a person she doesH t love really.Although she recognized by a rude awakening My great miseries in this world have been Heathcliff's miseries, and I watched and felt each from the beginning: my g

51、reat 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 if ,and she realized the pain In whichever place the soul lives. In my

52、 soul and in my heart ,I'm convinced I'm wrong ,however, she cad t persuade herself. Things can no longer go back.The tragedy can never be retrieved.3. Heathcliff's characterHeathcliff, who had been deprived of human warmth, cultivated a strong love and hate in the real life. He was humi

53、liated in every possible way which made he taste the cruelty of life, but also he knew how to swallow the insult in the Church and he couldn't change his humiliating fate. He was a man who loved a woman reaching to its limits,even did crazy actions. He used love" to kill people and also kil

54、led himself. Whether Catherine lived or died, he lived in pains. Even if Catherine was dying, he also said bad words to hurt her. But Heathcliff suffered two pieces of pain, his own and Catherines.Growing up with the wilderness, Heathcliff broke out with super violent and flowed turbulent emotions.

55、Surviving from the cracks where filled with all sorts of Hindley s curse and torture, Heathcliff was proud to maintain his basic dignity painfully.Although Heathcliff never explored a strong interest in his personal life and the sense of birth, they were the dark shadow. They were no doubt the facto

56、r that led Heathcliff to be cold and aloof character. In particular, when he was faced with the rival Edgar who was elegant and came from the Thrushcross Grange, Heathcliff ' s minor humble appearances was revealed. He struggled long to keep up an equality with Catherine in her studies, and yiel

57、ded with poignant though silent regret: but he yielded completely; and there was no prevailing on him to take a step in the way of moving upward, when he found he must, necessarily, sink beneath his former leve l.Heathcliff and Catherine are loyal partners. They produce the sincere love in the commo

58、n resistance and they have the same soul, or rather, they share the same soul. Once one separatesfrom the other, it'll causeirreparable harm. So when Heathcliff knew that Catherine betrayed their love and promised to marry Linton, he became the most unfortunate creature, andlost a friend and los

59、t the love as well as all . So he left Wuthering Heights angrily. Catherine's change makes Heathcliff last hope isgone, then the strong love turns into the strong hate and a strong distortion of his personality - -hard, unyielding and cruel.IV . Love and MarriageDefinition of Love and MarriageLo
