Wuthering Heights

Wuthering Heights

is a very famous novel which is written by the British writer

----Emily Bronte, who is one of the most remarkable novelists of the 19

th

in English

literature. The whole book is full of strong spirit of the struggle against oppression,

the

struggle

for

happiness,

and

always

hangs

over

the

strange,

nervous

romantic

atmosphere. When

Wuthering Heights

was firstly published, it was seen as the young

woman writer’

s naive fantasy divorcing from the reality. But as time went on, based

on

the

description

of

social

phenomenon

of

British

and

the

fierce

class

struggle,

it

soon

achieved

highly

affirmation

of

the

critics,

and

was

warmly

welcomed

by

the

public.

Wuthering Heights

, containing plentiful emotions, sublime love and a variety

of world viewpoints as well as life philosophy, is regarded as the strangest novel in

the history of English literature.

The novel

Wuthering Heights

is full of love and hatred which are both conflicted

and

combined.

The

impressive,

relentless

and

vigorous

love

arouses

implacable

emotions in depth of the reader

’

s heart with its ultimate passion, infatuation and great

miseries. The hatred from the deepest bottom of the heart, which has brought so many

pains, shocks the reader

’

s brain.

Wuthering

Heights

,

through

a

tragic

love

story,

shows

a

picture

of

life

in

an

abnormal

society,

and

outlines

humanity

distorted

by

this

terrible

abnormal

society

and

resulting

horrible

events.

The

whole

story

is

actually

spread

gradually

through

four stages. The first stage describes the happy childhood of Heathcliff and Catherine;

Special

feelings

are

formed

in

the

special

environment

between

an

orphan

and

a

young lady,

and they

give Sindre the bossy tyranny. The second stage emphatically

describes that Catherine betrays Heathcliff because of her vanity, ignorant and fatuity

and then become the hostess of Thrushcross grange. The third stage has an emphasis

on depicting how Heathcliff turns hatred and despair into the strategy and action of

revenge. The final stage just tells the Heathcliff's death. However, it reveals that when

Heathcliff knows that Harry and Katie are in

love, he experiences

a new change in

thought ---- the recovery of human nature, which adds a bunch of reassuring light of

hope to this horrif

ic love tragedy. Therefore, Heathcliff’

s love to hate to revenge to the

recovery of human nature, is not only the essence of the novel, but also a main line

throughout

the

whole

novel,

from

the

beginning

to

the

end.

According

to

this

sequence

of

changes,

the

author

arranges

to

change

the

scenes

unpredictably,

s

ometimes

in

overcast,

wail

like

ghosts

and

howl

like

wolves’

wilderness,

and

sometimes in stormy, gloomy miserable dark garden, so that the whole story has been

shrouded in a mysterious and terrible atmosphere.

In this novel, the author puts all efforts to concentrate on depicting the image of

Heathcliff where she places all her sympathy, indignation and ideal. The orphan who

is deprived of the warmth cultivates strong love and hate in real life. Sindre

’

s bossy

tyranny makes him undergo the cruelty of life, and it also teaches him to understand

that

swallow

insult

and

humiliation

silently

yield

cannot

alter

their

destiny.

He

chooses the revolt. Catherine was ever his faithful partner, and they had a sincere love

in

the

common

revolt.

However,

Catherine

finally

betrayed

him

and

married

Edgar

Layton

who

she

didn

’

t

know

and

love.

The

direct

cause

of

the

love

tragedy

is

her

vanity, ignorant and stupid. The result not only ruins her own youth, love and life, but

also destroys Heathcliff who is always passionately devoted to her, still brings about a

little hurt to the next generation. When Emily Bronte portrays this character, her mood

is very complex: she has the sympathy and the indignation; she has the regret and the

whip;

she

has

the

mourning

and

the

misfortune.

Catherine's

betrayal

and

sorrow

destiny

after

marriage

is

the

most

significant

turning

point

of

the

novel.

It

turns

Heathcliff

’

s

immense

love

into

profound

hate.

After

Catherine's

death,

his

cavity

hatred bursts out, and turns into the crazy revenge power. This crazy revenge of spite,

seemingly contradictory to common sense, but most incisively expresses his unusual

rebellious spirit, this is a special resistance determined by a special environment and

special

character.

Heathcliff's

love

tragedy

is

the

tragedy

of

the

society,

and

the

tragedy of the times. The end of the novel is that Heathcliff committed suicide.

His

death is a die for their love, and expresses his undying love for Catherine. Before he

died, he gave up the revenge of the next generation. This reflects that he actually has a

good nature, but the cruel reality makes him lose his nature. The recovery of humanity
