《呼啸山庄》英文读后感
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.
