11、 leaving after about six months due to homesickness. Later, with her sister Charlotte, she attended a private school in Brussels run by Constantin Heger and his wife, Claire Zoë Parent Heger. They later tried to open up a school at their home, but had no pupils. It was the discovery of Emilys p

12、oetic talent by Charlotte that led her and her sisters to publish a joint collection of their poetry in 1846, Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell. To evade contemporary prejudice against female writers, the Brontë sisters adopted androgynous first names. All three retained the same initials:

13、 Charlotte became Currer Bell, Anne became Acton Bell and Emily became Ellis Bell. In 1847, she published her only novel, Wuthering Heights, as two volumes of a three volume set (the last volume being Agnes Grey by her sister Anne).

After this, he annexed all Linton belongings and finish his revenge. At the same time, Heathcliff was importuned by Cathy. He stayed at his own room a

20、ll day and didnt have meal or sleep. At last he died in dumps and delirium.1.3 The Writing Background of Wuthering Heights Emily Brontë lived thirty years of British society when it was turbulent times. Capitalism is developed and increasingly exposed its inherent defects; between labor and cap

21、ital contradiction; the unemployed workers poverty; a large number of child labor was brutally tortured to death. Coupled with the British government repressive democratic reform to struggle and the workers movement: such as the 1819 Peter road massacre is an example. Therefore this period of litera

22、ry works also reflect. Our female writer Emily Brontë was born in such years of struggle! She was born in a priest family, the father named Petric Brontë (1777 - 1861), the original is an Irish priest, married in 1812 in Cornwall in southwest England(Cornwall) Maria Bo Lan Will as his wife

23、, six sons and daughters of the knee. The older daughter Maria (1814), the two daughter of Elizabeth (1815), the three daughter of Charlotte (1816), only son Blaine will (1817), below is Emily (1818) and ANN (1820). The latter four were born in the village of Thornton is located in the wilderness of

24、 Yorkshire, Mr. Brontë was called to the Ministry in the parish. In one eight two years the family moved to Ho Chilling worth area, home in a remote corner of the wilderness. Their three sisters in this place to spend a lifetime. In 1827, their mother died, aunt from Cornish group to take care

25、of the family. Three years later, led by Maria, the four sisters went to boarding school. Because of poor living conditions, Maria and Elizabeth suffered from tuberculosis died, Charlotte and Emily survived, then studying at home together with brother Bo Lan Will. The family always keep oneself to o

26、neself, four brothers and sisters will often with reading, writing poetry, and fiction story to spend the lonely time. Charlotte and Bo Lan Will to think Angelia Dynasty as the center to write novels, and Emily and his sister Ann creates a they called Gangduoer Pacific Islands to make up a story. Al

27、though their home near to Chilling worth Industrial Zone, however, the house is located in between urban and wilderness. Emily often to desert her sisters to walk in the west. So on the one hand the Brontë sisters saw developing towns in the capitalist society, on the other hand is also affecte

28、d by the atmosphere of the infection in the wilderness. Especially Emily, her surface be scanty of words, but passionate heart, although not understand politics, but very interested in politics. The three sisters often see liberal or conservative party journals, like talking about politics, which of

29、 course is influenced by their father. Petric Brontë is a more radical conservatives, early German movement against crossing the, later also help ho Chilling worth workers, and support their strike. Emily and her sister had inherited his sense of justice and sympathy for the handicraft workers

30、rebellion. This would create the conditions for the birth of “Wuthering Heights.II. An Analysis of the Protagonist -Catherine 2.1 Being Kind, Rebel, Sympathetic in Her Childhood Because she born and was still living in the ragged surroundings, Catherine loved and was familiar with the nature. Meanwh

31、ile, the nature has a big impact on her personality. She is very strong, crazy, rebellious, and wild. When denounced by all the people, Catherine is very arrogant and thinks she is the happiest girl in the world, which shows that environment is very important for her developing personality. When her

32、 father asked her to do something, she always defied the authority of her father and she was very rebellious. Because influenced by the nature, she behaves without affection and bears little resemblance to the girl of her age. Nelly comments her like this: she put all of us past our patience fifty t

33、imes and oftener in a day. From the hour she came down stairs till the hour she went to bed, we had not a minutes security that she wouldnt be in. Also The writer described as follows: “Her spirits were always at high-water mark, her tongue always going-singing, laughing, and plaguing everybody who

34、would not do the same(Brontë 1993:34) this wild, wicked girl has the bonniest eye, and sweetest smile, and lighten foot in the parish. (Brontë 1993:34) One day her father, MS. Earnshaw, took an orphan little Heathcliff went home. Because they have something in common, Catherine and Heathcl

35、iff quickly became the closet friends. Catherine and Heathcliff were living together when they were in childhood. They always played together. They run crazily on the land. Also the rebellious Catherine and Heathcliff always get happiness from their fierce revolts. The funny experience in Wuthering

36、Heights have been kept in a diary of Catherine: Heathcliff and I are going to rebel. We took our initiatory step this evening. I took my dingy volume by the scroop, and hurled it into the dog kennel, vowing I hated a good book. Heathcliff kicked his to the same place. (Bront,1999:17) Her rebellious

37、spirit stems from her wild and free personality which is owed by nature. Also because she is accompanied by Heathcliff in her childhood and they have personal characters in common, Catherine freedom wildness and rebellious was increased . However, she was goodness, sympathy and pretty, because she r

38、ebelled her brother for his violence to Heathcliff and tried her best to protect him. When her brother mistreated Heathcliff Catherine sympathized him very much. She rarely cares about others, but when Heathcliff was hurt by his brother she would took care of him. The relationship between Catherine

39、and Heathcliff was developing under the lack of civilized education. Their life was tightly held together, they had to face Catherine brother. So they have so much in common. They are both crazy rebellious wild but good and pure. 2.2 Being Vain, Selfish, Proud After Catherine Met Linton One evening,

40、 Catherine and Heathcliff slipped into Thrushcross Grange to have fun. Unfortunately, they were discovered and Catherine was bitten by a dog. The master of Thrushcross Grange Mr. Linton drove away Heathcliff and kept Catherine to recover from the wound for 5 weeks. During her stay at Thrushcross Gra

41、nge, Catherine became friends with Mr. Lintons son Edgar and daughter Isabella. The brother and sister not only took good care of Catherine but also taught her good manners which changed her from a vulgar girl into a graceful lady. She was influenced by the civilized education and the upper class. H

42、owever, at the same time Catherine s affection towards Heathcliff also underwent a subtle change. Although she knew she still loved Heathcliff very much, she came to feel it a shame to marry him, a servant. She said to Nally that if all else perished, I should still continue to be; and if all else r

43、emained and he reminded and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger; I should not seem a part of it, from which we can see she loves Heathcliff deeply. But she became selfish and vanity pride and she has changed in many ways. Also her manners much improved and habit has cha

44、nged. Like this: First, there alighted from a handsome black pony a very dignified person, with brown ringlets falling from the cover of a feathered beaver, and a long cloth habit, which she was obliged to hold up with both hands that she might sail in. But before she was a wild, hatless little sava

45、ge jumping into the house, and rushing to squeeze us all breathless. Second, when she saw her lovely dogs, her eyes sparked with joy, but she could hardly touch them in case they spoiled her splendid garments. Third, she gazed concernedly at the dusky fingers she held in her own, and also at her dre

46、ss; which she feared had gained no embellishment from its contact with Heathcliff s. But before she never disliked and avoided Heathcliff. Maybe Catherine wants to be a gentle girl not a wild girl at all. Then, their relationship has changed because Catherine clear that Heathcliff could never give h

47、er that she wanted and she loved Edgar like she said that “because he is young and handsome and cheerful and richand she also thought if she married Edgar she could “leave an uncomfortable disorderly home for a wealthy respectable one In addition, she thought the wealth of Edgar would be useful to h

48、elp Heathcliff. But in reality, it did not work. She did not have a good understanding of love, which is something pure and saint. However, Catherine lost her childhood at the time when she started to consider her future. She totally knew that it was impossible to be together with Heathcliff. She ha

49、d to find the future, a wealthy, handsome husband who could give her steady life and reputation while Heathcliff had nothing. Between the true love and vanity, she chooses the vanity and high social standing. This bad result was caused from the tradition in her life that the money and class is very

50、important. So she wanted to have a civilized upper and more comfortable life. 2.3 Being Crazed, Wicked After She Got Married When she married Edgar and Heatncliff left, she didnt feel happy at all. She was very lonely in her spirit. She remembered that she had betrayed Heathcliff and herself. Cather

51、ine tells Nelly that her life in Wuthering Heights is much better than heaven because Heathcliff is here. This is also a reason why Catherine wants to relive this unforgettable experience when she is tormented to death by two kind of tremendous forces after her marriage .Money and house brought her

52、into nothingness. She began to cherish the memory of Heathcliff, cherished t s self-abased. In their love, even at that storming night, Heathcliff left. She never thought about their future, their life. Thus, shall we ask that love should be based on what? Catherine loved Edgar, but she also said to

53、 Nelly: you think me a selfish wretch; But did it never strike you that if Heathcliff and I married, we should be beggars? whereas, if I marry Linton, I can aid Heathcliff to rise, and place him out of my brother's power. Before the difficulty, she chose to confront. On the contrary, Heathcliff

54、chose to escape, because he had no courage to overcome it. Catherine was 15 while Heathcliff was 16, they were children. They did not understand what love was. They just found the happiness they had in common. He is a little boy stood by her. There was no etiquette and standard but sincerity. In the

55、 Wuthering Heights, happiness was gone forever. Because of Hindly, Heathcliff lost the chance to learn and he was almost lost himself. Fortunately, Catherine did not give up him. He abandoned himself for Catherine represents wild nature, in both her high, lively spirits and her occasional cruelty. S

56、he loves Heathcliff so intensely that she claims they are the same person. However, her actions are driven in part by her social ambitions, which initially are awakened during her first stay at the Linton, and which eventually compel her to marry Edgar. Catherine is freespirited, beautiful, spoiled,

57、 and often arrogant, she is given to fits of temper, and she is torn between her both of the men who love her. She pushes herself into her tragedy, the endless predicament between her love and marriage, which wont end up with her death. In one hand, because Heathcliff married Edgar and he took revenge in their next generation he broke Cathe
