论《呼啸山庄》中希斯克利夫的复仇心理（英文）

摘要

这篇文章旨在分析《呼啸山庄》主人公希斯克里夫的复仇心理。

虽然在很多读者看来，希斯克里夫是一个冷酷无情的恶魔，但是，在笔者眼中，他也是一个为了爱情而抗争的个人奋斗者。

在希斯克里夫生活的那个社会，平等和爱情仅仅只属于那些拥有金钱和地位的人。

这个残酷无情的现实着实给了希斯克里夫致命的一击。

这也促使他逐渐形成了报复周围人的计划。

他和凯瑟琳的爱恨情仇正是这篇文章的核心所在。

全文分为五个章节，第一个章节包括引言、文献综述和结构概述三个部分，第二个章节阐述希斯克里夫和凯瑟琳的原始爱情，通过分析凯瑟琳爱的变化过程得出凯瑟琳背叛爱情的原因。

第三章分析希斯克里夫的复仇历程，解读导致希斯克里夫复仇的原因，揭示希斯克里夫的复仇行动的冷酷。

第四章通过耐莉的回顾和新一代的爱情分析论证希斯克里夫的人性回归。

最后一个章节是结论部分。

希斯克里夫的叛逆人格值得赞赏。

他敢于挑战世俗常规，就这一意义而言，他是一个真正的英雄。

即便在有些读者的眼里，他的性格有些扭曲，他所生活的社会应该对此负责。

每一个个体都是他所处时代的产物。

希斯克里夫是一个真正意义上的富有个性的抗争者，而并非一个疯狂的复仇者。

1.2Literaturereview

OfalltheBrontecritics,VirginiaWoolfisnotablythemostinfluential.VirginiaWoolf（1925:

219）,afamousEnglishfemalewriter,oncesaidlikethis:

WhenCharlottewrote…‘Ilove’,‘Ihate’.Herexperience,thoughmoreintense,isonalevelwithourown.Butthereisno‘I’inWutheringHeights…Emilyisinspiredbysomemoregeneralconception…Shelookedoutuponaworldcleftintogiganticdisorderandfeltwithinherpowertounititinabook…tosaysomethingthroughthemouthsofhercharacterswhichisnotmerely‘Ilove’or‘Ihate’.

Woolf（1925）alsopointsoutthatWutheringHeightsismoredifficultthanJaneEyrebecauseEmilyismuchgreaterthanCharlotte.Hercommentisjustifiable.Unfortunately,eventhoughweknowmuchaboutabouthersisterCharllotte,weknowonlyalittleaboutEmily.Emilywasmuchwiserthanhersisters.Shelivedonporridgeandmilk;shecouldplaythepiano,dohouseworkandhelpcooking
