6、朗特的唯一一部小说。艾米丽勃朗特在书中集中描写主人公之间的爱恨情仇，其中主要描写的是希斯克利夫和凯瑟琳娜之间的爱与恨。一经问世便遭到无情的指责和彻底的否定，然而，就像逗留在“蒙娜丽莎”嘴角边的微笑，呼啸山庄显示出了一种永久的艺术魅力。经过暴风雨的打击，迎来了热烈的喝彩。许多人认为它是一部哥特式小说，充满可怖与残酷的场景。然而，换一个角度重新审视一下，不难发现它的魅力来源于书中令人惊心动魄的爱恨情仇。呼啸山庄中表达出来的那种狂飙般的爱与恨，这种情感才是人类情感的极致，唯有极致化的情感，性格和经历才能打动我们读者的心弦。书中所描述的是怎样的爱情让人既羡慕又害怕，是怎样的仇恨让人痛恨的同时，又充满惋

Introduction Emily Bronte was an English novelist and poet and one of the three Bronte sisters, best remembered for her solitary novel, Wuthering Heights, now considered a classic of English literature. She was bo

14、rn in Thornton, Yorkshire, on July 30, 1818. Emily moved to Haworth, Yorkshire with her family in the year of 1820, and lived there for the rest of her life. Her father, Patrick Bronte, was a Yorkshire clergyman of Irish origin. Her mother, Maria Branwell, was a gentle and delicate woman, who invari

15、ably looked upon the bright side of every trouble. In September 1821, her mother died of cancer when Emily was only three years old. At the age of six, Emily joined her sisters at a charity school called the Clergy Daughters school for a brief period. After leaving the charity school Emily and her s

16、ister Charlotte studied at home with their brother Branwell. At this time the sisters and the brother started to write. In order to support their family Emily and her two sisters, Charlotte and Anne, often had to go out to work as school teacher or private governess. At that time a governess got a l

17、ow salary and was looked down upon. In 1824, Emily accompanied Charlotte to the Hger Pensionnat in Brussels, Belgium, where they attended the girls academy run by Constantin Hger. Hger seems to have impressed with the strength of Emilys character, “she should have been a man-navigator”. Emily had no

18、 experience of love affairs and had spent most of her life in an isolated circumstance with an irresistible love for the moors of Yorkshire. Emily, a rather reserved and simple girl, was a child of nature. Except housework, she spent all her life on it. She was never tired of staying outside in the

19、open moorland in all weathers and never at ease when she was away from it. In her eyes, the gloomiest heaths will blossom even delicate and charming flowers than rose; in her heart, one dark valley on a livid hillside will become a paradise. She fined much fun on the desolate lonely place. It could

20、be said that its the moors which present her with infinite inspiration to create Wuthering Heights and in fact, the background of this story was just this environment of asperity. Wuthering Heights was published in 1847, which was much neglected and regarded as excessively morbid and violent. It was

21、 not until 1850, when Wuthering Heights received a second printing with an introduction by Emilys sister Charlotte, that it attracted a wide readership. And from that point the reputation of the book has never looked back. It is a novel of “extraordinary intellectual power with its solitary outcast

22、hero and its image of a love which reaches beyond the grave”( Heather Glen, 2004: 95). Geoffrey Moore said in a foreword: “ There are few more convincing, less sentimental accounts of passionate love than Wuthering Heights.” In The Novel and the People Ralph Fox, the progressive English literary cri

23、tic, writes: “Wuthering Heights is certainly the novel become poetry, it is beyond all doubt one of the most extraordinary books which human genius has ever produced. Catherine and Heathcliff are the revenge of love against the nineteenth century.”Wuthering Heights is the name of an old house, high

24、up on the Yorkshire moors, occupied by the Earnshaw family, including Mr. Earnshaw, his son Hindley and his daughter Catherine. Its core theme is the enduring love between the heroine, Catherine Earnshaw, and her fathers adopted son, Heathcliff and how it eventually destroys their lives and the live

25、s of those around them.2. The Love Between Heathcliff and CatherineThe love between the two is pure, long-lasting and however violent. Heathcliffs love for Catherine is eternal that nothing can separate him from Catherine even death. While Catherines love is selfish. She loves Heathcliff for the nat

26、ure of the two is the same, however, she can not marry him because his low reputation will ruin hers. So she betrays him, which has destroyed lives of the two and other lives of those around them, and marries Edgar for whose richness and high reputation.2.1 ChildhoodThis story happens under the back

27、ground of Wuthering Heights, the name of an old house, high up on the Yorkshire moors, occupied by the Earnshaw family. Thirty years earlier, Earnshaw brings a child who has been living the life of a waif in the slums of Liverpool, rears him as one of his own children and gives him the name of Heath

28、cliff. Mr. Earnshaws teenage son Hindley becomes bitterly jealous because much more attention of his father is paid upon Heathcliff, whom he treats badly. While the heroine Catherine Earnshaw likes him and plays with him all the daytime on the moors. Sooner they build a deep friendship and are fond

29、of each other during the reaction against the oppression of Hindley. Catherine and Heathcliff are very intimates because of their same world outlook. They are both children of the wild, rebellions to the conventional etiquettes. As stated by Qiao Dongyue, “As Catherine and Heathcliff in Wuthering He

30、ights , when they live in the solitary and sorrowful place, they well understand the fates of each other and rise in rebellion on the basis of their common rate and feeling.” (Qiao Dongyue, 1997: 21) This idea is best expressed from the social viewpoint of Arnold Kettle in his introduction to the En

31、glish novel. “Against this degradation Catherine and Heathcliff rebel, hurling their books into the dog-kettle. And in their revolt they discover deep and passionate need of each other. He, the outcast slummy, turns to the lovely, spirited, fearless girl who alone offers him human understanding and

32、comradeship. And she born into the world of Wuthering Heights, senses that to achieve a full humanity, to be true to herself as a human being, she must associate herself totally with him in his rebellion against the tyranny involve.” (Arnold Kettle, 1960: 34)While the happy life of the two dose not

33、last for a long time, since after the death of Mr. Earnshaw, Hindley takes over the old house, becomes the master. From that time, Heathcliff is humiliated and deprived of all human rights by Hindley, and lives as a despised animal. Although the life is miserable, he can suffer it without saying a w

34、ord all because of the company of Catherine. “They forgot everything the minute they were together again.” (Emily Bronte, 2011: 36) When they are both in dilemma, they take each other as the spirit and sunshine of life and their same interest and life concept make a bond of the two, just as Catherin

35、e says: “He is more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same”, “If all else remained, and he were gone, the universe would seem a stranger”, “I am Heathcliff. He is always in my heart; not as pleasure, but as my own being.” Heathcliff exclaims from within, “Id not

36、exchange my condition here for Edgar Lintons at Thrushcross Grange, not for a thousand lives”, “Im not live without my soul”. (Bronte, 2011: 65) They were each others soul-mate for their whole life. “In front of love, Heathcliff was admirableness.”(Robert Kiely, 2003: 157) However, Catherine is self

37、ish.Although as much loves Heathcliff as she loves herself, Catherine can not marry someone like him with low birth. Otherwise, she will be degraded. No matter what the reason is, it all proves that her love for Heathcliff is selfish. There is also a clear hint we can see through the dialogue betwee

38、n Catherine and Mrs. Ellen Dean, the housekeeper at Wuthering Heights. As Catherine says: “Ive no more business to marry Edgar Linton than I have to be in heaven; and if the wicked man in there had not brought Heathcliff so low, I shouldnt have thought of it. It would degrade me to marry Heathcliff

39、now.” (Bronte, 2011: 64) It is so cruel that let a person overhear that his lover is going to marry someone else, so it goes to Heathcliff, who loved Catherine more than himself. At the very night he leaves Wuthering Heights without hearing that in the depth of her heart Catherine loves him. 2.2 Adu

40、lthoodThree years later, Heathcliff comes back to Wuthering Heights, which is a place full of the memories of his whole life either happy or sad. During those three years, he hates Catherine who betrays their love and plans to take revenge on her and Edgar Linton by seducing Edgars sister Isabella t

41、o marry him, but he dose not love her and cruelly maltreats her. However, at the first sight on Catherine since the separation he forgets all the sorrows that Catherine has brought to him , and loves her deeper than before. And he would rather give up all his possessions as long as she agrees to lea

42、ve with him. It is not so hard for us to find his crazy love for Catherine at the pathetic scene of the final meeting between Heathcliff and Catherine just before the latters death. “He neither spoke nor loosed his hold for some five minutes, during which period he bestowed more kisses than ever he

43、gave in his life before.” (Bronte, 2011: 129) All those descriptions of his behaviors express his deep love for Catherine, and he misses her terribly. And his fist sentence utters at the meeting: “O Cathy! O my life! How can I bear it?”(Bronte, 2011: 129) further explains his intensity love for Cath

44、y. “Dont torture me till Im as mad as yourself”, “I could as soon forget you as my existence”(130), “I love my murder-but yours! How can I”(132), these utterances all indicate his strong feelings for Cathy.During the three years separation, Cathy misses Heathcliff and also hates him for his leaving

45、alone without saying a word. And she marries Edgar even though she does not love him, for a part of the reason is to take revenge on Heathcliff, while the main reason is her nature of selfishness. Even at the end of her life, she blames that it is Heathcliff who murders her as she says: “You and Edg

46、ar have broken my heart”, and “You have killed me” (Bronte, 2011: 129). Though she loves Heathcliff as herself and can not suffer the bitterness when they parts, but at the same time, it is herself who has parted the two only because she wants to have a comfortable life and a high social status. So

47、at the end, she gets her punishment as she says as follows: “ the thing that irks me most is this shattered prison, after all. Im tired of being enclosed here. Im wearing to escape into that glorious world, and to be always there.” (Bronte, 2011: 131) And “If Ive done wrong, Im dying for it. It is e

48、nough! You left me too.” (Bronte, 2011: 132) 2.3 Reasons for the changeThere are two main reasons for the change of Catherines love for Heathcliff, which are the outside reason and inside reason. It is the outside reason that boosts the change, while the inner side of Catherine is bound to the change. 2.3.1 Social pressure Social background has a great influence on shaping peoples characteristics, wh
