7、 Heights.IntroductionPublished in l847, Emily Brontes masterpiece Wuthering Heights countered with countless unfavorable voices and utterances. For several generations, the Wuthering Heights has been exerting great fascinations over its readers. Although Wuthering Heights is her only novel but it ce

8、rtainly proves her genius in rendering captivating description and super passion. It tells a story about love and revenge. In the 19th century, one strange boy named Heathcliff is brought to Wuthering Heights from Liverpool by Mr. Earnshaw. He lives with Earnshaws son Hindley and daughter Catherine.

9、 Hindley hates Heathcliff, while Catherine likes him. After Earnshaw died, Hindley becomes the leader of the family and he regards Heathcliff as servant, so Heathcliff is insulted and ill-treated. However, Catherine and Heathcliff become good friends and love each other gradually. Mr. Edgar the next

10、 door often visits Wuthering Heights to pursue Catherine and she also shows love to him, too. When she agrees to marry Edgar, Heathcliff goes away with anger. As time goes on, Heathcliff brings love, jealousy, hatred, and revenge into the Earnshaws and the Lintons. It does not bring him real comfort

11、 to ruin other peoples happiness. Heathcliff is immersed in mental pain and eventually he destroys himself and dies of despondent. In Wuthering Heights, Heathcliff and Catherine revolt Hindleys punishment and run in the wilderness. They are lonely children. On this point, they are identical in spiri

12、t and soul. When Catherine betrays Heathcliff and marries to Edgar, they lost echo of souls and thus both of them suffer a great pain. Finally, they had no choice but to death to negate the physical separation, in order to achieve the soul. Their love is associated with the abnormal and the absurd.

13、Creative background 2.1 Social origin The love tragedy reflects the social background. The society is the source of the love tragedy. As we all know, Emily Bronte lived in Victorian Times for three decades. Those three decades are the era of unrest society in the United Kingdom. That time, the Indus

14、trial Revolution affected all the England, even the whole world: capitalism was developing and increasing exposure to its inherent defects. Followed by a conflict between workers and capitalists, the government had issued a number of laws to protect the interests of the rich, so the gap between rich

15、 and poor was growing. The unemployed workers were in poverty and a large number of child labor had been brutally tortured to death. This was followed by the outbreak of the famous Charter of movement, and the British Government took high-pressure on democratic struggle and the labor movement. That

16、time, every Englishmans mind was like going through a hurricane, even in north remote areas, the landowners could no longer be like before that had nothing to suffer. Our writer, Emily Bronte, was born in this era of struggle. 2.2 The authors sources from herself2.2.1 The authors living environment

17、Emily lived in a remote desolate Yorkshire. In the west of the house there was an endless moor, covered with heather. There was also a stale churchyard. She was born in a poor family priest. When she was young, her mother died, and her life was distress. All of the education was mainly from his fath

18、er. In order to maintain their livelihood, her old sister Charlotte Bronte, her young sister Anne Bronte and she had to be a teacher, which suffered from humiliation, feeling of discrimination and loneliness. This is her literary source of pessimism. 2.2.2 The authors way of lifeThe barren, remote,

19、gloomy and eccentric living environment and the natural silence made Emily isolated. Emily seldom left the gloomy Yorkshire moors that beyond ones imagination. She and her sisters often go to the west of the wilderness to take a walk. But, in addition to the church and to go walking, she almost goes

20、 without leaving home. Its an enclosed environment, making her work show rare originality and send out a fresh and natural authenticity of the artistic charm. When she could not restrain a strong emotional, writing became her only expression of emotion. It was a long time to get the mind for herself

21、 since she begun to seek compensation from creativity and imagination. Its the source of Wuthering Heights. 2.2.3 The authors personality Emily Bronte was growing up with fathers tough and indifference. She is premature loss of the mothers affection and protection and should fight back his fathers h

22、arsh and cold. Emily has the sense of inferiority, timid and introverted during childhood. She is inept and unwilling to be gregarious. She longs for love, but hasnt love; she desires to be understood, but not to be understood. The way of life above-mentioned makes her develop the appearance of calm

23、 and the inner of firmness. The closed character makes her become depressed, stubborn, headstrong, sullen, and intolerance. She portrays the character of Heathcliff just like herself. She has invested the whole herself to the Heathcliff devoting her strong passion, anger and non-violent struggle. We

24、 can see that Heathcliff is Emilys self-soul.2.3 SummaryEmily, who owned a very introverted character, lived in an extremely small space and indulged in fantasies temperament that she gradually indulged in the literary imagination of its own constructed world. She suffered from poverty of physical w

25、orld and helplessness of spiritual world. Loneliness made her the physical and emotional world was full of a sense of extreme disappointment and shattered. In Wuthering Heights, there is no “I”; there is no family schoolmarm and there is no “landlord”. There is “love”; however, it isnt the love betw

26、een man and woman. Emily is urged by some common views and she put them together in one book from the damaged world.Therefore, Emily desired to express her feeling through the love tragedy of rich and intense fantasy features, and expressed her strong dissatisfaction with social reality. These just

27、created the conditions for the birth of Wuthering Heights.Tragedys Reason3.1 Direct ReasonThe class difference is the direct cause of the class society, which lead to their love tragedy. Living in that society where was full of the view of class differences, Catherine and Heathcliffs tragic fate was

28、 inevitable. They were destined to become the victims of class society.Catherine and Heathcliff had to bear the oppressed from the Mansions. Catherine was the daughter of Wuthering Heights, and Heathcliff was a gypsy boy, who was abandoned from his early age. They are in the different status. The cl

29、ass difference is the first Mansions. Catherine failed to break through it. The next Mansion is Hindley. Hindley could do whatever he wanted to do, because Catherine and Heathcliff who were the subordinate status and were in the low level. They had no property and no right to choose, therefore, in t

30、he fight against the tyranny of Hindley, they were closed to the other. Catherine said, I am Heathcliff. However, in the society which full of prejudice and strong sense of class differences, this kind of love was fragile and Catherine realized their poor social status and eventually married to Edga

31、r. For Catherine, the only way out was to comply with social values and married to a man who had almost the same status with her. She wanted to be a good wife and a good mother. She and Heathcliffs love was simply not socially acceptable. For Heathcliff, in order to raise the status of his own, he c

32、ontinued to climb up and carried out crazy revenge to the Earnshaws and the Lintons, at the same time, he betrayed his own needs and aspirations, destroying his relationship with Catherine. Therefore, we can say that their love is split up by the prevailing prejudices of the bourgeois class. 3.2 Indirect Reason3.2.1 Catherines characterIts no wonder that each hero has its own character flaws and Catherine is not an exception. She is mixed with many character
