摘要

在英国文学史中艾米莉这位伟大的小说家的笔下，荒野这一意象超凡脱俗、意义非凡。

荒野不仅是故事发生的背景，推动故事情节的发展，更养育了作品的主人公，赋予他们疯狂热烈、粗犷豪放的性子。

毫无疑问，荒野是自由，生命，爱情的象征。

置于荒野之地，整部小说被荒野，荒凉的自然，野生的性子，狂野的爱情所充斥着。

这种荒野与藏在作者心里的狂野、热烈、深沉的情感密不可分。

荒野不仅只是小说的代名词也是凯瑟琳与希斯可利夫之间野性的自然的毫无杂质的爱的代言。

《呼啸山庄》中的荒野不仅是野生环境的描写，更是自然狂野感情的抒发。

凯瑟琳狂野的性子，希斯可利夫的野性还有他们之间无法遏制的狂野之爱无不透彻的揭示“荒野”这一词。

在这部小说中艾米莉运用她富有力量的笔描写着诗意的荒野意象，而这种荒野正是哥特小说重要的因素。
