呼啸山庄英文内容简介
Wuthering Heights Wuthering Heights is Emily Bront?'s only novel. It was first published in 1847 under the pseudonym Ellis Bell, and a posthumous second edition was edited by her sister Charlotte. The name of the novel comes from the Yorkshire manor on the moors on which the story centres (as an adjective, wuthering is a Yorkshire word referring to turbulent weather). The narrative tells the tale of the all-encompassing and passionate, yet thwarted, love between Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw, and how this unresolved passion eventually destroys them and many around them. Now considered a classic of English literature, Wuthering Heights' innovative structure, which has been likened to a series of Matryoshka dolls,[citation needed] met with mixed reviews by critics when it first appeared, with many horrified by the stark depictions of mental and physical cruelty.[1][2] Though Charlotte Bront?'s Jane Eyre was originally considered the best of the Bront? sisters' works, many subsequent critics of Wuthering Heights argued that its originality and achievement made it superior.[3] Wuthering Heights has also given rise to many adaptations and inspired works, including films, radio, television dramatisations, a
musical by Bernard J. Taylor and songs (notably the hit Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush), ballet and opera.

and raised as his own. Ellen comments casually that Heathcliff might have been descended from Indian or Chinese origins[4]. He is often described as
Some time later, Heathcliff returns, intent on destroying those who prevent him from being with Catherine. He has, mysteriously, become very wealthy. Through loans he has made to the drunken and dissipated Hindley that Hindley cannot repay, he takes ownership of Wuthering Heights upon Hindley's death. Intent on ruining Edgar, Heathcliff elopes with Edgar's sister Isabella, which places him in a position to inherit Thrushcross Grange upon Edgar's death. Catherine becomes very ill after Heathcliff's return and dies a few hours after giving birth to a daughter also named Catherine, or Cathy. Heathcliff becomes only more bitter and vengeful. Isabella flees her abusive marriage a month later, and subsequently gives birth to a boy, Linton. At around the same time, Hindley dies. Heathcliff takes ownership of Wuthering Heights, and vows to raise Hindley's son Hareton with as much neglect as he had suffered at Hindley's hands years earlier. Twelve years later, the dying Isabella asks Edgar to raise her and Heathcliff's son, Linton. However, Heathcliff finds out about this and takes the sickly, spoiled child to Wuthering Heights. Heathcliff has nothing but contempt for his son, but delights in the idea of him ruling the property of his enemies. To that end, a few years later, Heathcliff
attempts to persuade young Cathy to marry Linton. Cathy refuses, so Heathcliff kidnaps her and forces the two to marry. Soon after, Edgar Linton dies, followed shortly by Linton Heathcliff. This leaves Cathy a widow and a virtual prisoner at Wuthering Heights, as Heathcliff has gained complete control of both Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange. It is at this point in the narrative that Lockwood arrives, taking possession of Thrushcross Grange, and hearing Nelly Dean's story. Shocked, Lockwood leaves for London. During his absence from the area, however, events reach a climax that Nelly describes when he returns a year later. Cathy gradually softens toward her rough, uneducated cousin Hareton, just as her mother was tender towards Heathcliff. When Heathcliff is confronted by Cathy and Hareton's love, notably Hareton's determination to protect the defiant Cathy from Heathcliff's attack, he seems to suffer a mental break from reality and sees Catherine's ghost. He abandons his life-long vendetta and dies broken and tormented, but glad to be rejoining Catherine. Cathy and Hareton marry. Heathcliff is buried next to Catherine (the elder), and the story concludes with Lockwood visiting the grave, unsure of what to feel. Characters Heathcliff is the central male character of the
novel. A foundling raised by the Earnshaw family, he forms a bond with his foster sister Catherine Earnshaw and they share a passionate love, but it is founded on their sameness, of being different halves of the same soul, rather than just a romance or some physical attraction. Meanwhile he nurses a bitter rivalry with his foster brother Hindley, who resents the partiality his father shows Heathcliff and is cruel to him after his father's death. The only time he truly showed love or emotion was when it had to do with Cathy. He runs away from the heights when he is approximately sixteen (his age is unknown but he looks slightly older than Cathy) and returns three years later, having mysteriously made his fortune, education and refinement. He is a brooding, vindictive man, and his anger and bitterness at Catherine's later marriage to their neighbor Edgar Linton sees him engage in a ruthless vendetta to destroy not only his enemies but their heirs, a crusade that only intensifies upon Catherine's death. Catherine Earnshaw is Heathcliff's foster sister. She has dark brown eyes which are characteristic of her family. A free-spirited, wild, passionate, and somewhat spoiled young woman, she returns Heathcliff's love entirely, but because Heathcliff had been made so low that if she married them they
would become beggars, instead she chooses another, Edgar Linton, through which marriage she hopes to help Heathcliff and bring him back to the standing he would have had. Heathcliff leaves the Heights after overhearing that it would degrade her to marry him, and because of this she throws herself into a violent fit and is ill for a while. When Edgar asks her to marry him she is about fifteen; they are married three years after Edgar's father's death when she is about eighteen, presumably when Edgar comes into his inheritance. When Heathcliff returns after those same three years she renews their friendship, which makes Edgar unhappy. Always on the edge of madness, her physical and mental health are destroyed by the feud between them, and she descends into prophetic madness before dying in an angelic state shortly after childbirth at about nineteen. Edgar Linton is a childhood friend of Catherine Earnshaw's who later marries her. His fair appearance, blonde hair and blue eyes, contrasts with Heathcliff's dark appearance. A mild and gentle man, if slightly cowardly and distant, he loves Catherine deeply but is unable to reconcile his love for her with her feelings for her childhood friend Heathcliff. This leads to a bitter antagonism with Heathcliff, and it is partly this which leads to Catherine's
breakdown. He is well-mannered and gentlemanly but always remains something of a spoiled child. He is too afraid to fight Heathcliff and shows fear at the prospect, earning both Cathy's scorn and solidifying Heathcliff's contempt. Linton is incapable of competing with Heathcliff's guile and ruthless determination across the decades, and his health fails him while still a relatively young man. Isabella Linton is the younger sister of Edgar who becomes infatuated with Heathcliff. She fundamentally mistakes his true nature and elopes with him despite his apparent dislike of her. Her love for him turns to hatred almost immediately, as she is ill treated both physically and emotionally and held captive against her will. When Heathcliff returns from the Grange after Cathy's death she taunts him and he responds by trying to attack her, but Hindley interferes and she escapes the Heights. She leaves for London after visiting Nelly at the Grange and gives birth to their son Linton Heathcliff about seven months later, whom she attempts to raise away from Heathcliff's corrupting influence. Hindley Earnshaw is Catherine's brother and Heathcliff's other rival. Having loathed Heathcliff since childhood, Hindley delights in turning him into a rough servant upon inheriting Wuthering
Heights, making him work the fields. However, his wife's death from consumption destroys him; he becomes a self-destructive alcoholic and gambler and it is this that allows Heathcliff, upon returning to Wuthering Heights, to turn the tables and to buy the mortgage to Wuthering Heights which Hindley created because of his gambling debts, and to become its owner. Northern Yorkshire. In the foreground heaths. Ellen (Nelly) Dean is, at various points, the housekeeper of both Thrushcross Grange and Wuthering Heights, and is the primary narrator of the novel, told through M. Lockwood's journal entries. She is Hindley's, Heathcliff's and Cathy's foster-sister and servant, and is the same age as Hindley, seven years older than Cathy. Heathcliff genuinely likes her and is always glad to see her. She recognizes early on that Heathcliff is Catherine's true love and tries to dissuade her from the disastrous marriage to Edgar. Having been a disapproving witness and unwilling participant to many of the events between Heathcliff and both the Earnshaw and Linton families for much of her life, she narrates the story to Lockwood during his illness at the Grange. It is presumed that she never married as she keeps the name Dean throughout her life. It could be considered that she is the true hero of the story, and without
her many of the events in the story would never have taken place; however, she is not the primary protagonist. Linton Heathcliff is the son of Isabella and Heathcliff. He bears no physical resemblance to Heathcliff whatsoever and takes after his mother completely, with big soft blue eyes, fair golden hair, and slightly effeminate in appearance. However he has a certain petulance, cruelty and selfishness, and exploits his ill health to get attention from others. He is a sickly child who grows up ignorant of his father until his mother's death when he is thirteen years old. He is forced to live at Wuthering Heights and grows into a bullied, trembling shadow of his father. Heathcliff arranges for him to marry his cousin Catherine Linton so that he may inherit both the estates of Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange. He dies shortly after entering into the forced marriage. Catherine Linton is the daughter of Catherine Earnshaw and Edgar Linton. She inherits both her mother's free-spiritedness and dark eyes and her father's gentle nature, facial features and fair hair. Heathcliff takes advantage of her fundamental innocence and manipulates her into marrying his own son, Linton. She has a strong affection for Linton despite her father's and Nelly's attempts to keep her out of the reach of
Heathcliff's machinations, and never wavers in her friendship to him. Unaware of Linton's failing health, she is manipulated into traveling to the Heights, where Heathcliff forces her to remain and marry his son before she returns home to her father, who is dying as well. Once she has become a captive of Wuthering Heights Heathcliff resorts to the same torture he applies to everyone against whom he bears a grudge; he is also violent towards her and cannot stand to have her in the same room with him. As a result, she becomes harpyish and unfriendly. When Nelly is allowed to move to the Heights she helps Catherine return back to her true nature and kindness. She later falls in love with her cousin, Hareton Earnshaw. Hareton Earnshaw is the son of Hindley Earnshaw, who is adopted by Heathcliff upon Hindley's death. He is described as a handsome rustic with the dark Earnshaw eyes, and bears a likeness to his aunt and father. Heathcliff once saved his life; he caught him when Hindley accidentally drops him off the banister of the staircase; however he regretted the act. Heathcliff spitefully turns Hareton into an illiterate servant and has him work the fields, much as Hindley once did to him. Despite this, Hareton remains strangely loyal to him, and considers him his father. Quick tempered and easily
embarrassed, he falls in love with Catherine Linton early on, and despite her contempt for him is thus inspired to improve himself. He is the only person who mourns Heathcliff upon his death. Joseph is a servant of the Earnshaws and later Heathcliff. A bullying, lazy and snide man, he hates Heathcliff but is bound to serve Wuthering Heights and the sense of duty he feels to Hareton, who he calls the true master. Intensely religious, he is sanctimonious, self-righteous and largely held in contempt by those around him. He speaks in the traditional West Yorkshire dialect. This dialect was still used in the Haworth area up until the late 1970s, but there are now only portions of it still in common use.[5] Lockwood is the narrator of the novel. A newly-arrived tenant at Thrushcross Grange at the beginning of the novel, he is intrigued by the curious goings-on at Wuthering Heights, and persuades Nelly Dean to tell him the story of what happened during a bout of sickness. Lockwood is apparently a wealthy, relatively young man who comes to regret not approaching the younger Catherine Linton himself. Despite having a reserved manner and somewhat lofty ideals of himself, he is also a sensitive and romantic soul who is deeply affected by the saga of Heathcliff and Catherine. It is inferred that he
lives in London and returns there after his stay at the Grange. Frances Earnshaw is the wife that Hindley married while away at college. The fact that he did not tell his father suggests that Frances is not of high social standing. From her introduction she proves to be a kind woman to Nelly and Cathy but follows Hindley's example and dislikes Heathcliff. While Hareton is an infant she dies from consumption, or tuberculosis, a fate shared by most of the Bront? sisters. She had shown symptoms of her illness ever since Hindley brought her to Wuthering Heights, but at that time Nelly did not know what to make of her violent bloody coughs and fear of dying. Mr. Kenneth, the local doctor and drinking partner of Hindley. Kenneth often sees to the ill or dead characters: Cathy in her madnesses, Frances during childbirth and TB, Heathcliff and his early illness, Edgar's final hours, and Hindley's death. Nelly tells Heathcliff that he should send for Kenneth to tend to his ill son, but does not tell him that Heathcliff's death is suicide by starvation. He also reports to Nelly that he saw Isabella leaving with Heathcliff.

Hareton (1 January) Local background Though tourists are often told that Top Withens, a ruined farmhouse, near the Haworth Parsonage (Bronte Parsonage Museum), is the model for Wuthering Heights, it seems more likely that the now demolished High Sunderland Hall, near Halifax was the partial model for the building. This Gothic edifice, near Law Hill, where Emily worked briefly as a schoolmistress in 1838, had grotesque embellishments of griffins and misshapen nude men similar to those described by Lockwood of Wuthering Heights in chapter one of the novel:
heath, detached from the literary movements of the time. However, Emily Bront? received literary training at the Pensionnat Héger in Brussels by imitating and analysing the styles of classic writers. She also learned German, and was able to read the German Romantics in the original. The work of Lord Byron was also admired by all three Bront? sisters. The brother-sister relationship between Heathcliff and Cathy is reminiscent of the brother-sister couples in Byron's epics. The character of Heathcliff is reminiscent of the Byronic hero. Gothic and supernatural elements The novel contains many Gothic and supernatural elements. The mystery of Heathcliff's parentage is never solved. All film interpretations have failed in accurately depicting Heathcliff's appearance; He is described as
as an 'imp of Satan' in chapter four. Near the end of the novel Nelly Dean wonders if Heathcliff is a ghoul or vampire, but then remembers how they grew up together and dismisses the thought. The awesome but unseen presence of Satan is also alluded to at several points in the novel, and it is noted in chapter three that 'no clergyman will undertake the duties of pastor' at the local chapel, which has fallen into dereliction. Heathcliff is constantly described as a devil or demon by many different characters throughout the course of the book. His wife, Isabella Linton, asks Nelly if Heathcliff is a man at all, after she marries him and is exposed to his true nature. An important part of the novel is often overlooked and has never truly been conveyed in any film adaptation; Heathcliff and Cathy are two halves of the same soul, and are good and evil, angel and devil. Catherine and Heathcliff’s love is based on their shared perception that they are identical. /Their love denies difference, and is strangely asexual. The two do not kiss in dark corners or arrange secret trysts, as adulterers do. (Sparknotes)/ Cathy famously proclaims
The angels grew so angry with her that they cast her onto the heath and onto Wuthering Heights, and when she woke, she wept for joy. Cathy goes through a transformation in the book; during an argument with Edgar Linton she starts going crazy, biting and ripping the pillows and then lying still as though dead. She is ill for a period of time but never fully recovers; she asks Nelly
as though he has seen her ghost himself. When Heathcliff dies, he is found in the bedroom with the window open, raising the possibility that Catherine's ghost entered Wuthering Heights just as Lockwood saw in his dream. At the end of the novel, Nelly Dean reports that various superstitious locals have claimed to see Catherine and Heathcliff's ghosts roaming the moors. Lockwood, however, discounts the idea of
woven multiple references to Wuthering Heights and the life of Emily Bront?. James Stoddard's novel The False House contains numerous references to Wuthering Heights. In the novel H: The Story of Heathcliff's Journey Back to Wuthering Heights' by Lin Haire-Sargeant tells the story of how Heathcliff discovers he is the son and heir of Edgar Fairfax Rochester and Bertha Mason (Jane Eyre). Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next novels often mention Heathcliff as the most tragic romantic hero. In Fforde's book The Well of Lost Plots, it is revealed that all the characters of Wuthering Heights are required to attend group anger management sessions. In the preface of his novel Le bleu du ciel, the French writer Georges Bataille states that, in his view, Wuthering Heights belongs to those rare works in literature written from an inner necessity. Alice Hoffman's
novel, a sheep-detective called Miss Maple, to guess the identity of the murderer. In Diane Setterfield's novel, The Thirteenth Tale (novel), Wuthering Heights is also frequently mentioned. The relationship between Charlie and Isabelle Angelfield parallels that of Heathcliff and Catherine in many ways. Michel Houellebecq's debut novel Extension du domaine de la lutte briefly mentions Wuthering Heights -
and transforming the Western classic into the Japanese literary context. In Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series, the main character, Bella Swan, is often seen with a battered copy of Wuthering Heights. Film, TV or theatrical adaptations 1920: the earliest version of Wuthering Heights is filmed in England, directed by
A.V. Bramble. It is unknown if any prints still exist.[9] 1939: Wuthering Heights, starring Merle Oberon as Catherine Linton, Laurence Olivier as Heathcliff, David Niven as Edgar Linton, Flora Robson as Ellen Dean, Donald Crisp as Dr. Kenneth, Geraldine Fitzgerald as Isabella Linton and Leo G. Carroll as Joseph Earnshaw. The film was adapted by Charles MacArthur, Ben Hecht and John Huston. It was directed by William Wyler. The movie was nominated for the 1940 Academy Award for Best Picture. It did not depict the entire novel, portraying only half. In 1948 BBC Television staged a live 90-minute version of the novel. This was not recorded. A 1953 adaptation on BBC Television was scripted by Nigel Kneale, directed by Rudolph Cartier and starred Richard Todd as Heathcliff and Yvonne Mitchell as Catherine. This version does not survive in the BBC archives. According to Kneale, it was made simply because Todd had turned up at the BBC one day and said that he wanted
to play Heathcliff for them; Kneale was forced to write the script in only a week as the adaptation was rushed into production.[10]
A 1954 very loose Spanish-language adaptation filmed in Mexico by Luis Bu?uel, titled Abismos de Pasión. In 1962, BBC Television screened a new production of their 1953 version. This was again produced by Rudolph Cartier and has been preserved in the archives. Kneale's adaptation concentrates on the first half of the novel, removing the second generation of Earnshaws and Lintons entirely. Claire Bloom played Catherine and Keith Michell was Heathcliff.[11] In 1966 a musical Hindi-language film adaptation was released in India entitled Dil Diya Dard Liya. It's story and charachters were clearly based upon Wuthering Heights. It starred Dilip Kumar (Heathcliff), Waheeda Rehman (Cathy), Pran (Hindley), Rehman (Edgar) and Shyama (Isabella). Names, locations and many plot developments were adapted to suit Indian audiences. 1970: Wuthering Heights starring Timothy Dalton as Heathcliff and Anna Calder-Marshall as Catherine (the elder). It does not cover the whole story. 1970: Monty Python's Flying Circus Season 2 episode # 15 featured a sketch
semaphore flags. Egyptian television did a serialized version in the early 70's. 1978: Another BBC adaptation, directed by Peter Hammond and produced by Jonathan Powell, with screenplays by Hugh Leonard and David Snodin. Ken Hutchison plays Heathcliff and Kay Adshead plays Cathy. This adaptation covers the whole story, and has been reissued on DVD. 1985: French film adaptation Hurlevent by Jacques Rivette. 1987: Austrian drama adaptation Krankheit oder Moderne Frauen by Elfriede Jelinek. 1988: Japanese film. 1991: A Filipino film adaptation Hihintayin Kita Sa Langit, starring Richard Gomez and Dawn Zulueta. It was reprised in 2007 with an English title, The Promise, starring Richard Gutiérrez and Angel Locsín. 1992: Emily Bront?'s Wuthering Heights starring Juliette Binoche in two roles, Catherine Earnshaw and her daughter, and Ralph Fiennes as Heathcliff. 1995: Adaptation for theatre by Gillian Hiscott published by J. Garnett Miller Ltd. (now Cressrelles) 1998: Adaptation by Neil McKay for London Weekend Television directed by David Skynner and starring Sarah Smart as Catherine (the younger), Orla Brady as the elder Catherine and Robert Cavanah as Heathcliff. Also broadcast by PBS television as part of Masterpiece Theatre. 2002: Sparkhouse for
the BBC. A modern take on the story with the gender roles reversed, adapted by Sally Wainwright, directed by Robin Shepperd and starring Sarah Smart and Joseph McFadden. 2003: Wuthering Heights for MTV. It starred Erika Christensen, Mike Vogel, and Christopher Masterson. New versions In 2006 it was reported that a new film adaptation was in development, with Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp attached to star, however, no further developments appear to have been forthcoming. M. Night Shyamalan was once offered the project to direct, but he turned it down to work on The Village, which he later revealed to be inspired partly by the novel.[12] ITV has commissioned a new adaptation, to be written by Blackpool writer Peter Bowker. The three-hour Bront? is expected to be broadcast in early 2008.[13] It will star Charlotte Riley and Tom Hardy. In early 2008, a highly publicized fight for the role of Catherine made headlines across the UK with both Keira Knightley and Lindsay Lohan vying for the role. John Maybury is slated to direct the latest adaptation.[14]. In April 2008, Natalie Portman was cast as in the role[15] although she had to leave the project soon after. Sienna Miller is in early talks to play Cathy, the heroine of Wuthering Heights, while Michael Fassbender, the fast-rising
London-based actor has now signed to play the brooding figure of Heathcliff. Sienna entered negotiations following the dramatic withdrawal from the production of actress Natalie Portman.

Thoughts or reflections on reading Wuthering Heights
The book was written by Emily Bronte, it published in 1847.But 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, Edgar 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.
I like this book because it rest on the unforgettable characters. Wuthering Heights is based partly on the Gothic tradition, a style of literature that featured supernatural encounters, crumbling ruins, moonless nights, and grotesque imagery, seeking to create effects of mystery and fear. I would like to recommend this book to other readers.

关于《呼啸山庄》这部书，在世界文坛上多年来每谈及十九世纪西欧文学，必会涉及《呼啸山
庄》的探讨。About wuthering heights this book, in the world literary world for years about the nineteenth century Western Europe every literature, it will involve wuthering heights discussed.有不少著名评论家及小说家都曾有专文论述。Many famous critic and novelist had
discussed all the negativity.如:英国著名女作家弗吉尼亚?Such as: the famous British writer
Virginia?伍尔夫(ViginiaWoolf，1882—1941)?在一九一六年就写过《〈简爱〉与〈呼啸山庄〉》
一文。Virginia Woolf (ViginiaWoolf, 1882-1941) 9) in 1916 wrote "< jane=""> and < wuthering="">
heights >" a cent.她将这两本书作了一个比较。She put the two book made a comparison.她
写道:She wrote:
“当夏洛蒂写作时，她以雄辩、光彩和热情说‘我爱’，‘我恨’，‘我受苦’。她的经验，
虽然比较强烈，却是和我们自己的经验都在同一水平上。但是在《呼啸山庄》中没有 ‘我’，没
有家庭女教师，没有东家。有爱，却不是男女之爱。艾米莉被某些比较普遍的观念所激励，促使她
创作的冲动并不是她自己的受苦或她自身受损害。她朝着一个四分五裂的世界望去，而感到她本身
有力量在一本书中把它拼凑起来。那种雄心壮志可以在全部小说中感觉得到——一种部分虽受到挫
折，但却具有宏伟信念的挣扎，通过她的人物的口中说出的不仅仅是‘我爱’或‘我恨’，却是‘我
们，全人类’和‘你们，永存的势力??’这句话没有说完。”"When charlotte's writing, with
her speech, glorious and enthusiasm," "I love 'and' I hate 'and' I suffer '. Her experience, although more intense, but with our own experience at the same level. But in" wuthering
heights "in no 'I', no family female teachers, no club. There is love, but not the love of men and women. Emily was some common idea of incentives for her creative impulse and not her own suffering or the damage of her own. She headed in a split the world looks,
and feel she itself has the power in a book put it up. That kind of ambition piece together in all novel feel-a part of the frustration is, but it is the belief of grand struggle, through her character's lips is not only the 'I love" or "I hate', but 'we all mankind,"
and "you, eternal forces...' this speech not finished."
英国进步评论家阿诺?British progress critics Arnold?凯特尔(ArnoldKettle)?在《英
国小说引论》一书中第三部分论及十九世纪的小说时，也有专文为《呼啸山庄》作了较长的评论，
他总结说:KaiTeEr (ArnoldKettle) ? in the British novel papaer, the third part of the
nineteenth century when the novel discussed, also have obit for wuthering heights for a long comment, he concluded.
“《呼啸山庄》以艺术的想象形式表达了十九世纪资本主义社会中的人的精神上的压迫、紧张
与矛盾冲突。这是一部毫无理想主义、毫无虚假的安慰，也没有任何暗示说操纵他们的命运的力量
非人类本身的斗争和行动所能及。对自然，荒野与暴风雨，星辰与季节的有力召唤是启示生活本身
真正的运动的一个重要部分。《呼啸山庄》中的男男女女不是大自然的囚徒，他们生活在这个世界
里，而且努力去改变它，有时顺利，却总是痛苦的，几乎不断遇到困难，不断犯错误。”"Wuthering
heights to the art of imagination express the nineteenth century in the capitalist society of mental pressure, tension and conflict. This is a no idealism, no false comfort, nor
is there any hint that the fate of manipulating their power of the human itself of struggle and action can and to nature, and wilderness. With the storm season and the powerful, the star is called revelation life itself real game is an important part of wuthering heights.
The men and women is not the nature of the pa, they live in this world, and work hard to change it, sometimes smooth, but always painful, almost continually meet with difficulties, making mistakes."
而英国当代著名小说家及创作家毛姆(William Somer Eset Maugham，1874—1985)?，在一
九四八年应美国“大西洋”杂志请求向读者介绍世界文学十部最佳小说时，他选了英国小说四部，
其中之一便是《呼啸山庄》，他在长文中最后写道: “我不知道还有哪一部小说其中爱情的痛苦、
迷恋、残酷、执著，曾经如此令人吃惊地描述出来。《呼啸山庄》使我想起埃尔?格里科?的那些
伟大的绘画中的一幅，在那幅画上是一片乌云下的昏暗的荒瘠土地的景色，雷声隆隆拖长了的憔悴
的人影东歪西倒，被一种不是属于尘世间的情绪弄得恍恍惚惚，他们屏息着。铅色的天空掠过一道
闪电，给这一情景加上最后一笔，增添了神秘的恐怖之感。”And the famous contemporary British
novelist and creators Maugham (William Somer Eset Maugham, 1874-1985) ?, in 1948 the
United States should be "Atlantic" magazine introduces the reader to request the literary
world of ten best novel, he chose English novels of four, one of which is "wuthering heights," in which he played the last deregulation plan wrote: "I don't know what a novel of the pain of love, infatuation, cruel, persistent, once so amazingly describe them.
Wuthering heights reminds me of el? GeLiKe ? of those great of painting a picture, in
the picture is a dark clouds of dim a barren land scenery, rumble of thunder dragging out of the shadow of crooked west east gaunt, be a kind of not pour belongs to the mood of the earthly things got drifted off, and they hold their breath lead the sky color. Over
a flash of lightning, and to give this a scene and finally a, added a mysterious terrorist feeling."
总之，《呼啸山庄》是一部伟大的作品，也有誉之为“最奇特的小说”的。In short, wuthering
heights is a great work of art, also have the reputation as "the most peculiar novel".
但是正如阿诺德?But as Arnold?凯特尔所说:“希刺克厉夫的反抗是一种特殊的反抗，是那些在
肉体上和精神上被这同一社会(指维多利亚时期的社会)的条件与社会关系贬低了的工人的反抗。
希刺克厉夫后来的确不再是个被剥削者，然而也的确正因为他采用了统治阶级的标准(以一种甚至
使统治阶级本身也害怕的残酷无情的手段)，在他早期的反抗中和在他对凯瑟琳的爱情中所暗含的
人性价值也就消失了。在凯瑟琳与希刺克厉夫的关系中所包含的一切，在人类的需求和希望中所代
表的一切，只有通过被压迫的积极反抗才能实现。”KaiTeEr said: "heathcliff resistance is a
special kind of resistance, is in the flesh and spirit who was the same social (refers to Victorian society) conditions and social relationship between the workers as the resistance. Heathcliff later indeed no longer a exploiters, but does he adopted because of the ruling class standard (with a kind of even make the ruling class itself also fear of the cruel means), in his early resistance and in him to Catherine of love of the implications of human value also disappeared. In Catherine and heathcliff relationship contain everything, in human needs and hope to represent all, it is only through the oppressed against can realize positive."希刺克厉夫与凯瑟琳的社会悲剧就在于凯瑟琳意识到
他们的社会地位悬殊，却幻想借她所羡慕的林敦家的富有来“帮助希刺克厉夫高升”，使她哥哥“无
权过问”。Heathcliff and Catherine social tragedy is that Katherine conscious of their social status to one, but through her fantasy the desire of the rich LinDui home to "help heathcliff exalted, make her brother" has no right to intervene ".这当然是不可能的，从
后来希刺克厉夫再度出现时，林敦建议让他坐在厨房而不必请到客厅里坐，就可以看得出来。Of
course it was impossible, from later heathcliff again, LinDui advice that he sat in the kitchen and don't need to please to sit in the sitting room, can see come out.这就铸成
了大错，她陷入自己亲手编织的罗网。This is a big mistake a molten image, she caught in the
net of personally weave.而在她已经答应嫁给林敦后分明还说:And in her has promised to marry
after LinDui trenchant says:
“在这个世界上，我的最大的悲痛就是希刺克厉夫的悲痛，而且我从一开始就注意并且感受到
了，在我的生活中，他是我思想的中心。如果别的一切都毁灭了，而他还留下来，我就能继续活下
去，如果别的一切都留下来，而他给消灭了，这个世界对于我将成为一个极陌生的地方。我就不像
是它的一部分。我对林敦的爱像是树林中的叶子:我完全晓得，在冬天改变树木的时候，时光便会
改变叶子。我对希刺克厉夫的爱恰似下面的恒久不变的岩石，虽然看起来它给你的愉快并不多，可
是这点愉快却是必需的。耐莉，我就是希刺克厉夫～他永远永远地在我心里??”"In this world,
my biggest sorrow is heathcliff's grief, and from the beginning, I note and feeling, in my life, I thought he was the center of the other. If everything was destroyed, and he also to stay, I can continue to live, if all else is to stay, and he gave destroyed, the world for me will be a very strange place. I don't like a part of it. I love to LinDui like leaves in the trees: I completely know, in winter trees, time of change will change leaves. I to heathcliff love just like the following constant rock, although it seems that it to you is not much, but this happy happy is necessary. Lisa, I be resistance heathcliff!
He always forever in my heart......"而这样她竟背叛了她最爱的人，也就是背叛了自己，那么
她就只能在自己编织的罗网中挣扎着死去，在死去以前，希刺克厉夫悲愤地责备她:“你为什么欺
骗你自己的心呢??你害死了你自己。??悲惨、耻辱和死亡，以及上帝或撒旦所能给的一切打击
和痛苦都不能分开我们，而你，却出于你自己的心意，这样作了。”And so she rebelled against
her favorite, and also is against himself, so she can only in the net of weaving struggling
die, die in before, heathcliff grief and indignation to blame her: "why did you deceive you your heart well... you kill you.... miserable, shame and death, and god or satan can give all of the strike and pain can separate us, and you, but out of your own mind, did so."又说:“我爱害了我的人——可是害了你的人呢,我又怎么能够爱他,”And he said: "I love
hurt me-but hurt you? How can I love him?"这就导致了希刺克厉夫的悲剧——不惜用残酷手段
来进行报复。This has the heathcliff's tragedy-with cruel at means to revenge.他被私有
制社会所摒弃，却仍旧用私有制社会的斗争手段来进行反抗。He was private ownership society
abandoned, but still struggle with private ownership society means to fight back.他没
有财产，却掠夺了财产，自己成了庄园主;He has no property, but looted property, a plantation owners;他自幼被辛德雷嘲弄、贬低、辱骂，被人降到一个乡巴佬的仆人的地位，若干年后他又反
过来以其人之道向其子进行报复，结果他的胜利必然等于他自己精神上的失败。He XinDeLei from
taunt and belittle, abusive, by the person to a redneck servant status, after a few years he, in turn, to pay a person in his own way to its revenge, and the results of his victory inevitable equal to his own spiritual failure.当他发现林敦的女儿(也就是凯瑟琳的女儿)
和辛德雷的儿子(也就是凯瑟琳的侄子)两人的眼睛完全和凯瑟琳生前的眼睛一模一样时，当他发
现哈里顿(辛德雷之子)仿佛就是他的青春的化身时，他再也不想抬起手来打他们了。When he found
out that the daughter of LinDui (that is, Kathleen's daughter) and XinDeLei son (that is, Catherine's nephew) two people's eyes were completely and Catherine was exactly the same eyes, when he found that harry's (the son of XinDeLei) is like his youthful incarnation, he didn't want to raise hand to play them.他自己承认“这是一个很糟糕的结局”，他已不想
报复，因为这样的“以眼还眼、以牙还牙” 的复仇方式必然只能走向寂寞与空虚～He admitted that
"this is a terrible outcome," he already don't want revenge, because such "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" revenge mode must be can only to a lonely and empty!
无论如何，希刺克厉夫就那个时代来说，是值得同情的人物，他的复仇是可以理解的。However,
Mr Heathcliff is that era, it is worth sympathetic character, his revenge is
understandable.十几年来，凯瑟琳的孤魂在旷野上彷徨哭泣，等待着希刺克厉夫，终于希刺克厉
夫离开了人世，他们的灵魂不再孤独，黑夜里在旷野上，山岩底下散步??For over ten years,
Catherine lone soul on the stray cry, waiting for heathcliff, and finally heathcliff died, their soul no longer alone, the night in the open, under the rocks walk......这当然都
是无稽之谈，然而正如作者最后写道:“我在那温和的天空下面，在这三块墓碑前留连，望着飞蛾
在石南丛和兰铃花中扑飞，听着柔风在草间飘动，我纳闷有谁能想象得出在那平静的土地下面的长
眠者竟会有并不平静的睡眠。”This of course was all hokum, but as the authors finally wrote: "I in the gentle the sky below, in the three tombstone, before looking at the moths who stay in the heath and save LanLing flower clump fly, listening to the soft wind in the grass, I wonder flap between who can imagine in the calm of the buried under the land that there is not calm sleep."《呼啸山庄》中希刺克厉夫与凯瑟琳这两个主要人物在世界文学上给
广大读者留下了难忘的深刻印象;Wuthering heights of heathcliff and Catherine the two main characters in world literature to the readers left unforgettable deep impression;他们
那种不为世俗所压服、忠贞不渝的爱情也正是对他们所处的被恶势力所操纵的旧时代的一个顽强的
反抗，尽管他们的反抗是消极无力的，但他们的爱情在作者的笔下却终于战胜了死亡，达到了升华
境界,,,They that not for the world over, unswerving love also is the place to be evil force "of the old days of a stubborn resistance, although their resistance is negative powerless, but they love in the author's works but finally overcame death to sublimate

这部唯一的作品，在英国十九世纪文坛的灿烂星群中永远放出独特的、闪着异彩的光辉～And the
only because her Bronte works in the nineteenth century the brilliant British literary constellation forever in the unique, released across the glory of the extraordinary splendour.
