读后感

The

book

was

written

by

Emily

Bronte,

it

published

in

at

that

time,

it seemed to hold little promise, selling very poorly and receiving only a few

mixed reviews. I found this in our school library, I chose this book because

the

title

attracted

me.

The

book

is

structured

around

two

parallel

love

stories,

the

first

half

of

the

novel

centering

on

the

love

between

Catherine

and

Heathcliff,

while

the

less dramatic second half features the developing love between young

Catherine and Hareton. In contrast to the first, the latter tale ends happily,

restoring peace and order to Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange. In the

story, the two houses, Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange, represent

opposing worlds and values.

I spent twenty days reading this book. After reading this book, I felt for

Heathcliff at first. Heathcliff begins his life as a homeless orphan on the

streets

of

Liverpool,

and

then

he

tyrannized

by

Hindley

Earnshaw.

But

he

becomes

a villain when he acquires power and returns to Wuthering Heights with money

and the trappings of a gentleman. His malevolence proves so great and

long

—

lasting. As he himself points out, his abuse of Isabella

—

his wife is

purely sadistic, as

he

amuses himself by seeing

how

much

abuse

she

can

take

and

still come cringing back for more.

Catherine represents wild nature, in both her high, lively

spirits and her

occasional cruelty. She 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 Lintons, and which

eventually compel her to marry Edgar. Catherine is free

—

spirited, beautiful,

spoiled, and often arrogant, she is given to fits of temper, and she is torn

between

her

both of the men who love her. The

location of her coffin

symbolizes

the conflict that tears apart her short life. She is buried in a corner of the

Kirkyard. In contrast to Catherine, Isabella Linton

—Catherine’s

sister

—

in

—

law

represents

culture

and

civilization,

both

in

her

refinement

and

in

her

weakness.

Ultimately,

she

ruins

her

life

by

falling

in

love

with

Heathcliff.

He

never

returns

her

feelings

and

treats

her

as

a

meretool

in

his

quest

for

revenge

on the Linton family.

Just as Isabella Linton serves as Catherine’s foil, Edga

r Linton serves

as Heathcliff’s. Edgar grows into a tender, constant, but cowardly man. He is

almost the ideal gentleman. However, this full assortment of gentlemanly

characteristics, along with his civilized virtues, proves useless in Edgar’s

clashes with his foil. He sees his wife obviously in love with another man but

unable

to

do

anything

to

rectify

the

situation.

Heathcliff,

who

gains

power

over

his wife, sister , and daughter.

The whole story make people’s mood heavy. Fortunately, the end is happy.

The author Emily Bronte lived an eccentric, closely guarded life. She was

born

in

1818,

two years after Charlotte

—

the

author

of Jane

Eyre

and

a year and

a half before her sister Anne, who also became an author. Her father worked as

a

church

rector,

and

her

aunt,

who

raised

the

Bronte

children

after

their

mother

died, was deeply religious. Emily Bronte did not take to her aunt’s Christian

fervor, the character of Joseph, a caricature of an evangelical, may have been

inspired by her aunt’s religiosity. The Brontes lived in Haworth, a

Yorkshire

village in the midst of the moors. These wild, desolate expanses

—

later the

setting

of

Wuthering Heights

—

made

up the

Brontes

daily

environment,

and Emily

lived among them her entire life. She died in 1848, at the age of thirty.

篇二：绿野仙踪英语读后感

After

reading

this

wonderful

story,

I

can

feel

love,

brave,

deep

friendship

and some other good spirits in the people.

The Scarecrow wanted some brains, but on the way to the Emerald City, he

thought out of a way to cross the river. The Cowardly Lion wanted to be brave,

but when they met the river, he carried other friends to jump across it. And

the Tin Man wanted a heart, he said he couldn’t love, but he didn’t want to

hurt any animal.

In fact, they all have the things they want: the Scarecrow is clever, the

Cowardly Lion is brave and the Tin Man is kind-hearted.

This book tells us a story of how a little girl Dorothy goes back to her

hometown

when

she

is

in

another

little

girl

who

lived

with

her

aunt

and

was a cyclone. When a cyclone came, people stayed under their houses. But one

day a cyclone blows Dorothy’s house, with Dorothy and her

dog Toto in it, to

a country called Oz. In that city there are four witches and a very famous

wizard

—the Wizard of Oz. And Dorothy’s house just fell on the bad Witch of

the East and killed her, so the people there were very happy. Dorothy took the

witch’s

red

shoes

and

wore

them.

She

wanted

to

go

home

to

Kansas

but

she

doesn’t

know how to get there. So the Witch of North told her to go to the Emerald City

to find the Wizard of Oz to help her. Then Dorothy met the Scarecrow, the Tin

Man, and the Cowardly Lion, but they need help too. The Scarecrow wanted some

brains, the Tin Man wanted a heard, and the Cowardly Lion wanted to be rave.

So they all take the yellow brick road to the Emerald City. On the way to the
