8、 and physically ill.though being confronted with such difficulties,she kept writing.when Wuthering Heights was published in 1847,the pen name she chose caused much confusion and it was often assumed that jane eyre and Wuthering Heights were written by the same person.emilys novel was badly edited an

11、than a man,simpler than a child,her nature stood alone.”chen yafei,class 1,2021,foreign languages school when the novel began,it was 1801.mr.lockwood,the narrator of the story arrived at thrushcross grange,a grand house that he was renting from heathcliff,who lived at nearby Wuthering Heights.he spe

12、nt a night at Wuthering Heights and had a terrifying dream.later,lockwood asked the housekeeper mrs.nelly dean to tell the story of heathcliff and Wuthering Heights.it was a story that flashed back thirty years to 1771,when mr.earnshaw brought a street orphan home.he called him heathcliff and intend

13、ed to raise him alongside his own children,catherine and hindley.hindley was intensively jealous of the new arrival and saw him as an interloper and rival.however,catherine became heathcliffs inseparable friend and fell in love with him.after mr.earnshaws death,hindley took over the estate.he brutal

17、while,heathcliff succeeded in taking ownership of Wuthering Heights and vowed to raise hindleys son,harenton.then,in order to rule the property of his enemy,he persuaded catherine to marry linton.soon after,edgar linton died,followed shortly by linton heathcliff.this left catherine a widow at Wuther

18、ing Heights,as heathcliff had gained compete control of both Wuthering Heights and thrushcross grange.even thus,he was not happy at all.at last,he committed himself and he was buried near to catherine.the whole story was really a tragedy.mr.lockwood was shocked by the story and the story concluded w

19、ith mr.lockwood visiting the grave.the novel divides into several chapters,and each chapter seems to set up a lesson for us to learn.when i was reading this novel,what impressed me most was the unhappy marriages.in this novel there existed several unhappy marriages.one of the examples was the marria

20、ge between isabella and heathcliff.isabella didnt know heathcliff well when she married him.she was just attracted by his appearance,but later she realized that heaththcliff was not a gentleman at all.as a result,what she only could do was to regret for herself.another example had happened between c

21、atherine and edgar.although she had been happy at the beginning of the marriage,after a while,she became bored and she also realized that her true love was heathcliff.in my opinion,her choosing to marry edgar was just because she wanted to be rich and to be the greatest woman in the neighborhood.til

22、l now,i can remember clearly that catherine said to mrs.dean:“it would degrade me to marry heathcliff now.”from her words,we can see that she cared wealth and social status more than true love,which should be responsible for her unhappy marriage.in our daily lives,there also exist many people who sh

23、are the same opinion with catherine.there is no doubt that they also have suffered a lot from their unhappy marriages.it is my personal belief that a successful marriage should not be based on wealth,beauty or social status.however,the true love,respect,knowing about the one you choose are the essen

24、tial factors in marriage.to everyone,marriage seems to be one of the most important things in life.it has great influence on our daily lives,our physical and mental health,our social relationship and even our fate.so,we should take our marriage seriously and choose the one who is really right for us

25、.thus,can we have a successful marriage and a happy life.after reading the whole story,i was shocked by heathcliffs revenge and learned a lot from it.because of the animosities between himself and others,heathcliff used all means he could to take revenge on them.not only did his wicked actions do lo

26、ts of harm to others,but also these actions hurt himself a lot.during the process of taking revenge on others,his sense of superiority had faded away.then his appearance began to reflect the state of his mind.his walk lacked confidence;he looked disagreeable,and spoke seldom.even though he succeeded

27、 in taking possession of all the wealth,he was not happy at all.at last,he committed himself.as it says that“whoever seeks revenge should dig two graves.”just like heathcliff,if he could recognize this principle and follow it,all the tragedies could be avoided.it is widely known that to forgive and

28、forget offenses enable imperfect people to grow and improve.maybe,it is easier said than done.however,the longer you wait to forgive someone,the harder it becomes.in our daily lives,it is unavoidable to hurt others or to be hurt by others.if we are too sensitive to it and pay much attention on it,we

29、ll be unhappy all day and we can not get along well with others around us.our society worships harmony.being tolerant and having a harmonious relationship with others will benefit us a lot.next time when you get hurt,remember the saying“to err is human;to forgive,divine.”and follow those instruction

30、s.only in this way can we live happily and make our society more harmonious.all in all,i really learned a lot from this novel.it deserves our reading.第四篇：读后感 Wuthering Heights Wuthering Heights emily published only one novel,Wuthering Heights,but this single work has its place among the masterpieces

31、 of english literature.emily was born in thornton,yorkshire,in the north of england and died of tuberculosis in the late 1848.when bronte sisters are young,their father asked them to read many books:the bible,homer,virgil,shakespeare,milton,byron,scott and many others.the children also read enthusia

32、stically articles on current affairs.unlike charlotte,emily had no close friends.she wrote a few letters and was interested in mysticism.her first novel,Wuthering Heights,a story-within-a-story,did not gain immediate success as charlottes jane eyre,but it has got later fame as one of the most intens

33、e novels written in the english language.in contrast to charlotte and anne,whose novels take the form of autobiographies written by authoritative and reliable narrators,emily introduced an unreliable narrator,lockwood.lockwood,the narrator,is a gentleman visiting the yorkshire moors where the novel

34、is set,and of mrs.dean,housekeeper to the earnshaw family,who had been witness of the life of the original owners of the Heights.bronte draws apowerful picture of the strange man heathcliff,who is brought to Heights from the streets of liverpool by mr.earnshaw.heathcliff is treated as earnshaws own

35、children,catherine and hindley.after mr.earnshaws death heathcliff is bullied by hindley,who loves catherine,but she marries edgar linton.heathcliff s destructive force is unleashed,and his first victim is catherine,who dies giving birth to a girl,another catherine.isabella linton,edgars sister,whom

36、 he had married,flees to the south.their son linton and catherine are married,but always sickly linton dies.hareton,hindleys son,and the young widow became close.increasingly isolated and alienated from daily life,heathcliff experiences visions,and he longs for the death that will reunite him with c

37、atherine.in early time,there are many critics on this novel.some people called it a strange,inartistic story,but commented that every chapter seems to contain a sort of rugged power.it supported the second point made in the athenaeum,suggesting that the general effect of the novel was inexpressibly

38、painful,but adding that all of its subjects were either utterly hateful or thoroughly contemptible.there some symbols in the novel,for example,the moors and the ghosts.the constant emphasis on landscape within the text of Wuthering Heights endows the setting with symbolic importance.moorland cannot

39、be cultivated,and its uniformity makes navigation difficult.it features particularly waterlogged patches in which people could potentially drown.thus,the moors serve very well as symbols of the wild threat posed by nature.as the setting for the beginnings of catherine and heathcliffs bond,the moorla

40、nd transfers its symbolic associations onto the love affair.ghosts appear throughout Wuthering Heights,as they do in most other works of gothic fiction,yet bronte always presents them in such a way that whether they really exist remains ambiguous.thus the world of the novel can always be interpreted

41、 as a realistic one.certain ghostssuch as catherines spirit when it appears to lockwood in chapter iiimay be explained as nightmares.the villagers alleged sightings of heathcliffs ghost in chapter xxxiv could be dismissed as unverified superstition.whether or not the ghosts are“real,”they symbolize

42、the manifestation of the past within the present,and the way memory stays with people,permeating their day-to-day lives.i think the novel suggests us that lovers should have a healthy love,and put the needs of the beloved first.第五篇：Wuthering Heights 读后感 Wuthering Heights is the first english novel w
