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 bees 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 longlasting。 as he himself points out， his abuse of isabellahis wife is purely sadistic， as he amuses himself by seeing how much abuse she can take and still e 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 pel her to marry edgar。 catherine is freespirited， 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 lintoncatherine’s sisterinlaw 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。
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 charlottethe 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 expanseslater the setting of wuthering heightsmade 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 remend this book to other readers。

《呼啸山庄》英文读后感
published in 1847， wuthering heights was not well received by the reading public， many of whom condemned it as sordid， vulgar， and unnatural--and author emily bronte went to her grave in 1848 believing that her only novel was a failure。 it was not until 1850， when wuthering heights received a second printing with an introduction by emily's sister charlotte， that it attracted a wide readership。 and from that point the reputation of the book has never looked back。 today it is widely recognized as one of the great novels of english literature。
even so， wuthering heights continues to divide readers。 it is not a pretty love story; rather， it is swirling tale of largely unlikeable people caught up in obsessive love that turns to dark madness。 it is cruel， violent， dark and brooding， and many people find it extremely unpleasant。 and yet--it possesses a grandeur of language and design， a sense of tremendous pity and great loss that sets it apart from virtually every other novel written。
the novel is told in the form of an extended flashback。 after a visit to his strange landlord， a newer to the area desires to know the history of the family--which he receives from nelly deans， a servant who introduces us to the earnshaw family who once resided in the house known as wuthering heights。 it was once a cheerful place， but old earnshaw adopted a gipsy child who he named heathcliff。 and catherine， daughter of the house， found in him the perfect panion: wild， rude， and as proud and cruel as she。 but although catherine loves him， even recognizes him as her soulmate， she cannot lower herself to marry so far below her social station。 she instead marries another， and in so doing sets in motion an obsession that will destroy them all。
wuthering heights is a bit difficult to get into; the opening chapters are so dark in their portrait of the end result of this obsessive love that they are somewhat off-putting。 but they feed into the flow of the work in a remarkable way， setting the stage for one of the most remarkable structures in all of literature， a story that circles upon itself in a series of repetitions as it plays out across two generations。 catherine and heathcliff are equally remarkable， both vicious and cruel， and yet never able to shed their impossible love no matter how brutally one may wound the other。
as the novel coils further into alcoholism， seduction， and one of the most elaborately imagined plans of revenge it gathers into a ghostly tone: heathcliff， driven to madness by a woman who is not there but who seems reflected in every part of his world--dragging her corpse from the grave， hearing her calling to him from the moors， escalating his brutality not for the sake of brutality but so that her memory will never fade， so that she may never leave his mind until death itself。 yes， this is madness， insanity， and there is no peace this side of the grave or even beyond。
it is a stunning novel， frightening， inexorable， unsettling， filled with unbridled passion that makes one cringe。 even if you do not like it， you should read it at least once--and those who do like it will return to it again and again

my feelings after reading wuthering heights
wuthering heights is a well-written tragedy of love。 after reading the whole
story， i would like to talk about the main characters of the story?catherine earnshaw and heathcliff。 catherine earnshaw and heathcliff love each other very much， but they do not have the right attitude towards love， which leads to the tragedy。
in catherine?s life， she made a very foolish decision---marrying to edgar。in fact， her love for edgar can never be pared to that for heathcliff。 she did so， because she thought the wealth of edgar would be useful to heathcliff。 but in reality， it did not work。 she did not have a good understanding of love， which is something pure and saint。 if anyone add any purpose into love， love itself lost its meaning。 catherine?s wrong decision hurt two people who love her， and even destroyed the happiness of their offspring。
heathcliff is a man full of retaliation。 he loved catherine very much， but what he did， on the contrary， added to the misery of catherine。 in my opinion， if he really loved catherine， he should not walk into catherine?s life again after his disappearance。 further more， after the death of catherine， what heathcliff did brought agony to catherine?s daughter， as well as his own son。
after reading， i have a better understanding of love。 if you love really someone， his or her happiness is the thing that most matters。

A Book Report of Wuthering Heights
英语三班王璇 20123704
Wuthering Heights is a book of Emily Bronte, published in 1847.Wuthering Heights was not well received or appreciated by the reading public, many of whom condemned it as sordid, vulgar, and unnatural--and author Emily Bronte went to her grave in 1848 believing that her only novel was a failure. It was not until 1850, when Wuthering Heights received a second printing with an introduction by Emily's sister Charlotte, that it attracted a wide readership. Today it is widely recognized as one of the great novels of English literature.
It is in my middle high school that the first time I read its Chinese version and I indulged in its intricate plot and love and hate between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathclif. Hitherto, I wander why the title of this book named Wuthering heights instead of Thrushcross Grange, or Heathclif Vengeance. As a matter of fact, when I read twice in English version and look up some information online, I seem to understand the intention of the author a bit. Wuthering is used to describe Yorkshire how bad weather it is. We can find “?Wuthering? being a provincial adjective, descriptive of the atmospheric tumult to which its station is exposed in stormy weather” in book. Meanwhile, “Wuthering” imply author tell readers a twisting and sad story.
To return to the novel itself, I am quite curious about the gothic
elements reflected in Wuthering Heights. After finishing reading the whole story, it casts a gloom over my heart. I consider it contributes to the characters? unfortunate and miserable lives and grieve for them. At present, I learn a new writing style “ the Gothic novel”.
The Gothic creates feelings of gloom, mystery, and suspense and tends to the dramatic and the sensational, like incest, diabolism, necrophilia, and nameless terrors. It crosses boundaries, mixed daylight and the dark side, life and death, consciousness and unconsciousness. Most of us immediately recognize the Gothic elements when we encounter it in novels, poetry, plays, movies and TV series. Gothic elements have made their way into mainstream writing. They are found in Charlotte Bronte?s Jane Eyre, Samuel Coleridge?s Christabel and so on.
In order to create a horrible and mysterious atmosphere, the story of Wuthering Heights takes place in Yorkshire moors. In addition, Emily? s life experience coincides with those of Gothic heroines：loss of love, struggle, and death.
The love between Heathcliff and Catherine is the main striking plot. Sunshine, sweet, and smile are not the main parts of their love, by contrast, the mixture of gloom, hatred , and misunderstanding becomes dominant tone in their love. This is why their love is being gradually developed into crazy and tragedy.
As matter of fact, Heathcliff and Catherine are the leading role in
this novel. Through Emily?s graphic description, the images of them are vigorous. As for Heathcliff, he is a gypsy looking little boy that he was brought to Catherine?s house by her father. However, he was bullied by Catherine?s brother and he lives a very hard time in this house. Apart from Catherine, she is kind to him and loves him. Hence, Heathcliff grows brutal and sullen. When he is informed of Catherine marring Edgar Linton, who is richer and higher status than himself, all his power to endure abuse are impaired immediately. Afterwards, Heathcliff run away. Three years later, he returns Wuthering heights with a big sum of money. Superficially, he is gentle and cultivated; actually, he burns a fire of revenge within his heart. He revenges himself on those who has hurt him in planned, such as, prevailing on Hindley gambling so as to squander all of his money; maltreating Hindley? son and teaching him abused words and ordering him to do servant?s jobs; inheriting Isabella?s family estate by means of cheating. Everyone will grit your teeth resentfully. In additional, the author doesn?t tell readers how Heathcliff becomes a richer and what methods used within three years to earn those money. We can imagine that he must employ the meanest of tricks due to his lack of education and know-how basing on the society.
Undeniably, it is Heathcliff that cause a serial of unfortunate things led to the misery of the two family, three households, and three generations.
As a saying goes, “a person?s poor situation can always attribute to his own fault.” Vice versa: maybe a hateful person has to do something bad for some reasons. In Heathcliff?s opinion, everything he did is regarded as a sign of loving Catherine, who betrayed him and become the Edgar?s wife though. Therefore, Heathcliff is the most tragic figure who has to suffer from the pain of lost loved one, and experiences persistent distress and annoy in the process of revenging. Summing up his life, Heathcliff is in constant sorrow through his days. In the end, I don?t hate him; on the contrary, the one thing I learned is tolerance and appreciation of people surrounding you.
Catherine is an innocent and kind-hearted girl. She is the only one who cares about Heathcliff when he is discriminated and ill-treated after Mr. Earnshaw?s death. Meanwhile, she is peacockish, willful. When she is faced with choices which one she should marry, Heathcliff or Linton, she finally decides to marry a rich second generation, Edgar Linton. The reason is that marring Linton could make her become a much richer person and live a decent life while marring Heathcliff will turn out to be beggar. And all of her characteristics are closely connected with her family, and living environment and noble status.
Admittedly, it?s hard to say whether Heathcliff and Catherine will live a happy life or not if she waits Heathcliff?s come and marries him; it?s also hard to say whether those figures in the novel has good results or
not in life. Methinks, I cannot rewrite the ending of this story. Just like a famous saying: character depends on destiny because their fate has been destined at the onset of this story.
Alexander Pope once said, “always forgives your enemies--nothing annoys them so much.” What I have learned from their story is that if you are deliberately trying to hurt others, it will hurt yourself in return, and you will be the most miserable person. Therefore, be kind to those who once hurt you. Hard as forgiveness is, it is the first step to regain the life of well-being.
篇三：Book Review of Wuthering Heights呼啸山庄英文读后感
Book Review of Wuthering Heights Wuthering heights is a famous book written by Emily Bronte. Emily is one of the outstanding poets in 19th-century. In 1819, Emily Bronte was born in a poor priest family, her father Pater Rick Brandt is an Irish priest, and her mother gave birth to six children. The Bronte sisters, two daughters and a son. Because of the family backgrounds, Emily was borned to be independent, open-minded, pure, and introverted.
"Wuthering Heights" is one of the works of Emily Bronte, also is one of the masterpieces in the 19th century of British literature. This is a story of love and revenge. "Wuthering Heights" is written by the time span of thirty years, describes a complex emotional relationships of two generations between the Earnshaw family and Linton family.
The whole novel can be divided into four parts. The first phase describes the daily life of Heathcliff and Catherine's childhood, their special affection is formed in this particular environment as well as their revolt against the tyrannical Hindley. The second phase focuses on the Catherine pursuit of the traditional of human love and betrayed Heathcliff and she became the mistress of thrush. She admitted to Donnelly that her love to Linton who is young, handsome man. He loves her as well as her wealth, let her to become the most distinguished woman. Catherine has said: "In my heart and soul, I clearly know I was wrong." Because she also loves Heathcliff. The third stage use a large pen and ink describing
that Heathcliff’s revenge. The last part of novel is the death of Heathcliff, but revealed a new change in the thinking experience - the recovery of humanity when he understood the love between Hareton and Catherine' so we can see a bunch a hope in the tragic love story.
In the novel, all of the author's effort was to create the image of Heathcliff where she pinned all her indignation, compassion and ideals. This orphan has been deprived all of the warmth of human, Hendry’s hit let him tasted the cruel of life, also he knows that his gave up to life can not change the fate of their own humiliation. He chose to resist. Catherine had been his loyal partners. However, Catherine finally betrayed Heathcliff, married Edgar Linton. This is her own choice between the loves. At the end of the book, there are three tombs on the fields, the Linton tomb, the Heathcliff, the middle is Catherine's tomb. Catherine's betrayal of their marriage and miserable fate is the most significant turning point in the book. Catherine’s death is the objective of Heathcliff. His revenge not only let Hendry and Edgar died miserable, but also made the next generation to suffer the bitter pills. This crazy revenge is ueasonable but vividly expressed the hate and love. In the minds of women writers, love and hate is opposition but can be transformed into each other. Therefore, love and hate are opposite to each other, but also with each other uniform.
Undeniable, Heathcliff and Catherine loved each others but they all
lost themselves in the love relationships. Catherine married Linton because of vanity, Heathcliff thought that he had been betrayed and began to crazy avenges. Their love is the most wonderful part of the novel also the source of the tragic.
I want to use one sentence to conclude the whole novel, it could be that everyone made their wrong choice in a wrong time and eventually made the tragic life, everyone regretted in the end of their life and let the next generations to suffer. We all know that the ending can’t be revolted but we’d like to see that everyone has struggled for love and happiness.
