8、of Wuthering Heights, Emily Bronte, lived in the thirties of the nineteenth century when the struggle between the workers and capitalists became the fundamental contradiction in English social life. The great misery of the workers led to an upsurge of labor movements and the organization of the work

9、ers into unions. The crying social contradictions were reflected in literary works of the time and a new literary trend-critical realism appeared. The critical realists not only gave a satirical portrayal of the bourgeoisie and all the ruling classes, but also showed profound sympathy for the common

10、 people.Emily was the fifth child of a poor clergy man, and the whole family lived on the wild moors of the North of England. The Bronte children kept very much to themselves and had to depend entirely on their own resources. They loved walking on the moors, and Emily in particular developed a passi

11、onate love of the rough moorland scenery; at home, they read whatever they could lay their hands on and lived more and more in the world of imagination. Emily had a poetic imagination which was a spirit more somber than sunny, more powerful than sportive. According to her sister Charlotte Bronte, “E

12、mily was clever, benevolent, but very stubborn. Stronger than a man, simpler than a child, her nature stood alone.”Wuthering Heights was the only novel of Emily Bronte, but it had an unchangeable place in the literary world. The very story began when Hethcliff, a homeless orphan, was brought up by M

13、r.Earnshaw, the owner of Wuthering Heights. Soon the boy and the owners daughter, Catherine, became inseparable fiends and had wild passion wtth each other. But after the old owners death, his son, Hindley abused Hetheliff and treated him as a servant. Catherine continued her close relationship with

14、 him, which released him from his suffer a little. However, after meeting Edgar Linton, a young gentleman form Thrusheross Grange, Catherine felt it would be a degrading for her to marry Hethcliff though 1She loved him dearly. Overhearing this confession, Hethcliff disappeared in a rage of shame and

15、 despair, and was not heard for many years. Heart-broken for the loss of her beloved, Catherine fell badly ill and later married Edgar. Just shortly after their marriage, Hethcliff returned with surprisingly good manners and wealth, and set about seeking revenge on all who had wronged him. He deviou

16、sly lent money to the drunken Hindley in order to increase his debts and finally got Wutherin Heights. He married Isabella, Edgars sister, and treated her as a tool to enrage Edgar and inherit Thrushcross Grange. Catherine, torn between her lover and husband, became very ill and died in childbirth.

17、Unbearable without Catherine, Hethcliff grew even crueler to his enemies. He raised Hindleys son, Hareton, as a common labor without education. He then forced Edgar and Catherines daughter, young Catherine, to marry his sickly son, young Linton. Though cruelly revenged himself on the tow families, H

18、ethcliff got no happiness at all but grew more miserable in the memory fot Catherine. At last, he died of starvation and went with Catherines soul together on the moors.The novel Wuthering Heights are full of love and hatred which are both conflicted and combined. The impressive, relentless and vigo

19、rous love arouses implacable emotions in depth of the readers heart with its ultimate passion, infatuation and great miseries. The hatred form the deepest bottom of the heart, which has bought so many pains, shocks the readers brain. In the following passage we will learn the story together through

20、analyzing the different kinds of love, the hatred caused by love and the rebirth of love defeats hatred.2. Heathcliffs characteristic duality2.1. Heathcliffs natural kindness and love Heathcliff was like a blank paper when he was firstly brought to Wuthering Heights, He was pure and only had his nat

21、ural ideology. When he was in a new place, 2he felt strange and kept silent. Gradually, there was something appeared in this blank paper. Influenced by kindhearted Mr. Earnshaw, his natural kindness was stimulated. When Mr. Earnshaw died, Heathcliff was desperately grieved and set up a heart-breakin

22、g cry. From that we can see his natural kindness.Heathcliff also had strong love in his heart. Its a kind of natural and pure love. He loved Catherine more than himself. His love to Catherine was faithful and long-lasting. When Catherine was engaged with Edgar Linton, he left Wuthering Heights. He h

23、ad never left Wuthering Heights before for any reason, even when Hindley treated him very badly. When he returned Wuthering Heights with money and power, he still loved Catherine. His happiness could only be gained from Catherines love. He took revenge on people who had mistreated him and got what h

24、e wanted, but he didnt feel happy, because he missed Catherine. At last, he committed suicide with a dream to meet Catherine. Its obvious that his love for Catherine was very strong.2.2. Heathcliffs cruelty, selfish and hatredHeathcliff loved Catherine so much that he should have tried his best to m

25、ake his beloved Catherine happy. However, his vengeful machinations drove him cruel and made his heart full of hatred. He changed his strong but frustrated love to cruelty. When he became a powerful, fierce and cruel man, he acquired a fortune and used his extraordinary powers of will to acquire bot

26、h Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange, the estate of Edgar Linton. He killed Hindley and also took revenge on Catherine, Hareton, Cathy and Linton. He loved Catherine so much, but he didnt think for her, instead he made her heartbroken. So he is also very selfish. He abused Isabella who was the

27、 sister-in-law of Catherine just to win Thrushcross Grange.So Heathcliff himself was a contradiction. He had natural kindness, but he became very cruel when he returned Wuthering Heights and started taking revenge on others; He had strong love in heart, and he loved Catherine more than himself, but

28、he didnt think for Catherines life, and made Catherine heartbroken. His heart was full 3of hatred, so he took revenge on people whom he hated.3 Heathcliffs love and hatred 3.1. Love between Catherine and HeathcliffWe see the intense and unbreakable love between Catherine and Heathcliff. Their love w

29、as based on their shared perception that they were identical, and it denied difference or change over time. When they were children, they shared a lot of common and had wild passion for each other. Both of them were wild, high-spirited and always spend a whole day playing games on the moors together

30、. They also enjoyed fighting against conventions and religious beliefs in spite of being punished severely. They were proud and arrogant by teasing Edgar and Isabella, the two spoiled and coward children of Thrushcross Grange. They got on very well and enjoy the happinest of life during their early

31、childhood. At that moment, their passion was the putest childrens love. After Mr.Earnshaws death Heathcliff was abused cruelly and treated by Hindley as a servant, allowed no education and forbidden to have further contact with Catherine. His life became miserable and his malevolence for Hindley gre

32、w more and more. But Catherine insisted her close friendship with him, which more of less released his pain. They loved each without considering the unbridgeable gap of their different social positions.However, after spending five weeks recuperating at Thrushcross Grange Catherine seemed to have become a ladu and realized her different social status from Heathciff. Though she loved him more than anything else in the world, she was fashioned by Edgars handsome face,gentle behavior and weathy family.
