The Book Report of Wuthering Heights
Wuthering Heights is a very famous novel which is written by the British writer ----Emily Bronte, who is one of the most remarkable novelists of the 19th in English literature.The whole book is full of strong spirit of the struggle against oppreion, the struggle for happine, and always hangs over the strange, nervous romantic atmosphere.When Wuthering Heights was firstly published, it was seen as the young woman writer’s naive fantasy divorcing from the reality.But as time went on, based on the description of social phenomenon of British and the fierce cla struggle, it soon achieved highly affirmation of the critics, and was warmly welcomed by the public.Wuthering Heights, containing plentiful emotions, sublime love and a variety of world viewpoints as well as life philosophy, is regarded as the strangest novel in the history of English literature.The novel Wuthering Heights is full of love and hatred which are both conflicted and combined.The impreive, relentle and vigorous love arouses implacable emotions in depth of the reader’s heart with its ultimate paion, infatuation and great miseries.The hatred from the deepest bottom of the heart, which has brought so many pains, shocks the reader’s brain.
Wuthering Heights, through a tragic love story, shows a picture of life in an abnormal society, and outlines humanity distorted by this terrible abnormal society and resulting horrible events.The whole story is actually spread gradually through four stages.The first stage describes the happy childhood of Heathcliff and Catherine; Special feelings are formed in the special environment between an orphan and a young lady, and they give Sindre the boy tyranny.The second stage emphatically describes that Catherine betrays Heathcliff because of her vanity, ignorant and fatuity and then become the hoste of Thrushcro grange.The third stage has an emphasis on depicting how Heathcliff turns hatred and despair into the strategy and action of revenge.The final stage just tells the Heathcliff\'s death.However, it reveals that when Heathcliff knows that Harry and Katie are in love, he experiences a new change in thought ---- the recovery of human nature, which adds a bunch of reauring light of hope to this horrific love tragedy.Therefore, Heathcliff’s love to hate to revenge to the recovery of human nature, is not only the eence of the novel, but also a main line throughout the whole novel, from the beginning to the end.According to this sequence of changes, the author arranges to change the scenes unpredictably, sometimes in overcast, wail like ghosts and howl like wolves’ wilderne, and sometimes in stormy, gloomy miserable dark garden, so that the whole story has been shrouded in a mysterious and terrible atmosphere.In this novel, the author puts all efforts to concentrate on depicting the image of Heathcliff where she places all her sympathy, indignation and ideal.The orphan who is deprived of the warmth cultivates strong love and hate in real life.Sindre’s boy tyranny makes him undergo the cruelty of life, and it also teaches him to understand that swallow insult and humiliation silently yield cannot alter their destiny.He chooses the revolt.Catherine was ever his faithful partner, and they had a sincere love in the common revolt.However, Catherine finally betrayed him and married Edgar Layton who she didn’t know and love.The direct cause of the love tragedy is her vanity, ignorant and stupid.The result not only ruins her own youth, love and life, but also destroys Heathcliff who is always paionately devoted to her, still brings about a little hurt to the next generation.When Emily Bronte portrays this character, her mood is very complex: she has the sympathy and the indignation; she has the regret and the whip; she has the mourning and the misfortune.Catherine\'s betrayal and sorrow destiny after marriage is the most significant turning point of the novel.It turns Heathcliff’s immense love into profound hate.After Catherine\'s death, his cavity hatred bursts out, and turns into the crazy revenge power.This crazy revenge of spite, seemingly contradictory to common sense, but most incisively exprees his unusual rebellious spirit, this is a special resistance determined by a special environment and special character.Heathcliff\'s love tragedy is the tragedy of the society, and the tragedy of the times.The end of the novel is that Heathcliff committed suicide.His death is a die for their love, and exprees his undying love for Catherine.Before he died, he gave up the revenge of the next generation.This reflects that he actually has a good nature, but the cruel reality makes him lose his nature.The recovery of humanity is a spiritual sublimation and reflects the humanitarian ideals.This novel also reflects what kind of social background the author suffered.
In the eyes of modern people, romanticism can never exist alone without the subject of love.The love between Heathcliff and Catherine is hearty and despairing, as both of them attach great importance to their affectionate liberation and freedom.Especially to Heathcliff, his identity of adopted son and Gypsies makes him suffer lots of attack from his living environment during his growth, which gives birth to his extremely strong self-protecting and revenging consciousne.To take it good, he has a clear cut stand on what to love and what to hate; to take it bad, he has a spilt personality.Heathcliff is a typical person in which self emotion and freedom can break through everything.To him, whatever things that betray or depre him is worthy of being cursed and hated.As a result, it is destined that Heathcliff and Catherine must suffer from their fruitle love enduringly.
From Emily Bronte, we can see the shadow of Catherine who is brave, strong willed and more important, rebellious.Although Catherine was born in a noble family, yet she falls in love with Heathcliff without any fear.Heathcliff is a waif picked up by Mr.Earnshaw.He is a dark-skinned gipsy, “as dark almost as if came from the devil’’.He is not welcome in Wuthering Heights even the maid Helly hates him.But Catherine shows happine and sympathy with him and they played innocently together.She loves Heathcliff heartily, to her, Heathcliff is innermost herself.From my point of view, 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 weakne.Ultimately, she ruins her life by falling in love with Heathcliff.He never returns her feelings and treats her as a mere tool in his quest for revenge on the Linton family.
The weak side of their characters brings about the tragedy destiny.At Victorian times, marriage is well-matched in social and economic status.Catherine cannot get rid of the old traditional trammels, though she loves Heathcliff deeply.She is seduced by the refined and tranquil Thrushcro Grange.Her visit to the Grange preludes the tragedy of their love.Looking through the window of the Grange, Catherine sees a world completely different from the bleak and deckling Heights.It is an attractive place, poeing everything that Heathcliff doesn’t have social position, wealth and comfortable life.She decides to marry Edgar Linton, because she wants to be the greatest woman of the neighborhood.In fact, choosing Edgar, she is deliberately false to her own world, just as what Heathcliff comments: an oak is planted in a flowerpot.So when Heathcliff returns, she is eager to feel the value of her existence in him.She tries to reconcile her feeling with what Linton represents, but the two sides can’t be reconciled at all.She can’t bear such suffering, falls in ill and never recovers.Catherine dies at the birth of her daughter Cathy and Emily Bronte, the creator of Catherine, dies at the age of thirty.As we know, Emily Bronte lived in the early 19th century, that is, the unrest beginning period of the Victorian age.With the Industrial Revolution exerting its influence on the whole British society, capitalism enjoyed rapid development while exposing more and more its defects: severe confrontation between capitalists and workers; high unemployment rate; the widening gap between the rich and poor.Under these circumstances, various social evils began to develop and spread.The author also finished her famous work Wuthering Heights under such background.In this novel, we can see that the author criticized a series of social evils through her description of plot.For example, in this novel, Heathcliff had suffered discrimination and persecution since he was young.What contributes to this situation is just that Heathcliff is an orphan who comes from lower cla.Heathcliff also represents many Gypsies who lived in hardship of that time.In the novel, Heathcliff and Cathy were innocent playmates; they developed their love since they were young.But as they grew up, Cathy gradually realized the immense disparities of their social status and their love was unacceptable to the society of that time.Strict hierarchy accounted for their separation.So the author here criticized not only racial discrimination bur also hierarchy.In a word, the society of that time was money-oriented and full of hypocrisy.Under such circumstances, it is hard to keep the purity of human’s nature.
Emily Bronte, as a traditional British lady following conservative morals standard, uses a unique and keen sense of perspective to reveal the human nature, to discu the human nature, to understand the human nature, which makes me feel surprised.In her works, love and hate are the most eential, most free states to be released and extended.She helps us to see the most beautiful side, at the same time, the ugliest side of human nature, to discover good and evil in the heart that no one can escape.The charm of the novel comes from its deep beauty and tragedy, from the pursuit to human power in spiritual world, from the unique natural wilderne, from the free, restle vigor that is undisciplined like the wind on the wild places in Yorkshire.In Wuthering Heights, despite that Heathcliff and Catherine’s nature was distorted when they are alive, but after the two people died, the flesh back to dirt, their soul roaming the wilderne, man and nature reached an eternal unity.The dead, alive, the everlasting love will never fade away.The writer’s emotional depth and rich have maive inner paion, and she uses the transcendental love to frame a cruel beauty, making the whole piece of work take on a romantic atmosphere as bearing a cro.
After the storm, there will be cool and calm with sunshine; after the shock, there will be the deep thinking and imagination of it is worth cherishing.After reading Wuthering Heights, I only hope that after the end of their love and hate, Heathcliff and Catherine can achieve the eternal tranquility.
