The thoughts of Wuthering Heights

The Wuthering Heights told us a story about revenge.

Orphan Heathcliff was adopted by Mr.Earnshaw, the owner of Whthering Heights. Soon, he fell in love with Catherine Earnshaw. However, Hindley Earnshaw hated him greatly, for he couldn’t accept the truth that a low-down people took his father’s love. Driven by this Hatred, Hindley made Heathcliff be a salve after old Earnshaw had died.

Catherine love Heathcliff, though, she was ashamed of showing it in public. She decided to marry with Edgar Linton, the owner of Thrushcross Grange, which hurt Heathcliff deeply. He left out with dark hatred. After three years, Heathcliff came back with a lot of money, and started to carry out his revenged plan. He managed to do it, and became the owner of the two manors. But did he feel fulfilling? No, he always felt lonely and empty. In the end, he gave up revenge, and slept beside the Catherine’s grave forever.

After finished reading this book, I am very sympathy for Heathcliff. The poor orphan, who had been endured hardships of life early, had grown up with strong emotions. He learned from the cruel reality that tolerance did any help, but resistance. The death of Catherine is the most important turning point of the book. It caused Heathcliff turned his softest love into the greatest hate, which drove him revenged to Hindley and Edgar crazily, even to the next generation. It seemed obey to common sense, but it thoroughly expressed that “hate is another kind of the deepest love”. In author’s opnion, hate and love can be transformed each other.

The ending touched me most. Heathcliff’s death indecated that his love to Catherine would nerver changed until he died. Besides, he gave up to revenge showed that he still was a kind person, but the cold reality forced him to be cruel. When he died with a smile, he probably freed himself from hatred.

To Catherine, I have a hybrid attitude. She was vain, but she was also very unfortunate. Ultimately, the tragedy is not simply of Heathcliff and Catherine, but is also of that society. The love between a classy woman and a low-down man couldn’t exist in the world, so Heacliff and Catherine couldn’t live together until they died. Closing the book, I seem to be in a strange world. In this world, there are rugged stones, steep cliff, cloudy sky; a young couple was running in the borderless wild land. The fierce wind went through the land, which seemd to never stop.

呼啸山庄英语读后感

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 emily's 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。
