after reading the masterpiece, wuthering heights, gave me a kind of depression and made me unable to understand what is love on earth. everyone who read it would be touched and moved.

according to his novel we can get conclusion that in material desires dominate society. money is everything. there are no love friendship and relationship between people.

this novel also reflected that what kind of social background the author suffered.anyways, wuthering heights gave me a torment, you can’t see any warm scene in the book, all you see is the fierce wind howled, and wild moor. however, at the end, the combination between hareton and cathy seems a hopeful light in the darkness, and the break of the day finally coming!

many times in life, people leave our lives and then come back into them. however, we remember them, but they do not remember us. the same thing happened in emily bront's book wuthering heights. linton, taken by his mother to london after his birth, never knew his father, then when things happened, he came back home. he had family fighting over where he was to live and whom he would be around. not knowing part of your family until after you are fifteen is hard.

isabella took her son, after he was born, and moved to london away from thrushcross grange. at the same time, she moved away from her husband, heathcliff. during the time that isabella and linton were gone, isabella got sick and passed away. right before her death, a letter came saying that she was dying so hindley went to visit her. while he was there, she did passed on so he brought linton back with him. once back, everyone looked after him and made him feel at home.

heathcliff soon came to the knowledge that his son had returned to wuthering heights. he then sent someone to wuthering heights to get linton. however, he did not know that linton was already asleep so he did not get the boy that night. the next day the boy was taken to heathcliff at thrushcross grange. the father and son were nothing alike, and linton was intimidated by his father. he did stay, and meet some of his relatives that he had never seen, who helped him adjust to living there.

everyday in our lives we run into situations that we wish we had never been involved with. i relate to the characters of linton and heathcliff. i am like linton because people know who i am, but i never remember meeting them, and am scared around them. i also feel the same as hindly might have of. this is because i would want to see the person i did not know, but then i would not know how to cat around them. in time people come around, but others, as with heathcliff and linton, never come around. everyday life is something we take for granted. no matter how you feel, you may never come to understand it, till you find someone else in the same situation. the above described situation only gives one instance of the many situations in emily bront's book, wuthering heights, were you could relate your life to someone else wuthering heights 's. this book gives the true facts about what family life is really like. anyway,it's worth reading .

呼啸山庄的英文读后感篇3

wuthering heights was written by emily bronte, published in 1847.but at that time, it seemed that the book was neither popular nor disliked among people, but left out by the public with only a little mixed comments. however it became famous at last, though i don’t know why; i just came across with the book in the bookstore and somehow bought and shelved it on the top of my bookshelf until the book review homework came to me. consequently the book didn’t give me a splendid fist impression, at least not better than jane iyre, which is always talked about and complimented among girls. however, after reading the book, the “never judge a book from its cover”theory was deeply rooted in my heart. the meaning of“cover ”here is not only limited to the coated paper that protects the book and attracts readers, but also the public comments on the book. i seldom hear of comments on wuthering heights, so i thought matter-of-factly that the book would be a boring stuff; however i was totally wrong.

wuthering heights demonstrates us a life profile in a deformed society, the distorted humanity in this society and various dreading events resulted from it, by the hand of a tragic love story. actually the whole plot of the story can be divided into four parts which develops gradually: the first part narrates the childhood of catherine and heathcliff who lived together all the time, the special feeling in the special environment between an orphan and a miss, and the revolt against the tyranny of hindley earnshaw. the second part focuses on catherine betrayed heathcliff, married linton edgar and became the hostess of thrushcross grange. in the third part, the author uses a lot of time emphasizing on how did desperate heathcliff turn the hostility in his chest into the practical plan and action to revenge. although there’s nothing else important except the death of heathcliff in the last part, the revival of humanity of heathcliff after he saw the love between young catherine and hareton was prominently demonstrated, which make readers feel warm and relieved after the breathtaking desperation at last. the love, hatred, revenge and humanity recovery, hence, is the essence as well as an uniting thread of the whole novel.

emily condensed her painstaking efforts on the image portrayal of heathcliff, to whom she placed all of her indignation, sympathy and ideal. the orphan who was exploited of all the warmth he deserved cultivated strong emotion of love and hostility in his life; the mistreatment of hindley taught him about the cruelty of the life, as well as yielding to his miserable fate silently. however, he chose to revolt with catherine, who was his devoted partner, an genuine love germinated between them in the proceeding of resistance. however, catherine at last betrayed heathcliff and married a man she didn’t love at all. the immediate cause of this tragic love story is her ignorance and vanity, as a result buried her own love, her own youth, her own life, her own heathcliff, even almost her own children. when emily portrays the image of catherine, her sympathy as well as wrath was apparently expressed; she was grievous for her unfortune but angry for her flaccidity at the same time, her emotion towards catherine was full of contradiction. the biggest turning point of the whole story is the betrayal of catherine and her miserable life after her marriage, which turned heathcliff’s love into engraved hatred; and this hatred exploded and became the motivation to revenge for himself after catherine’s death. his aim achieved: not only did he tortured hindley and edgar until they died and monopolized two manors, but the next generation was also suffered from his flame of vengeance. the crazy abreaction of wrath and hostility seemed to contradict with common sense but expressed his extraordinary rebellious spirit which was moulded by the special environment. the tragedy of heathcliff was a tragedy of the society as well as the whole era.

wuthering heights ended with the suicide of heathcliff after his purpose of revenge had achoeved. in my opinion, his death was the last expression of his love for catherine--at least they were together after they died. what’s more, he abandoned his plan to mistreat the next generation before his death, which showed his good nature distorted by the cruel reality. the revival of humanity illustrates emily’s noble humanitarian ideals.

wuthering heights has been regarded as “the most peculiar novel” on the english literature history due to the subversion of the sentimentalism style which was popular at that time, replacing pale melancholy with strong love and violent hatred and the ruthless revenge occured from them. it is just like a special lyric poem with abundant imagination and smashing emotion, and full of artistic power to strike people’s heart.

“i am the only being whose doom, no tongue would ask no eye would mourn; i never caused a thought of gloom, a smile of joy since i was born. in secret pleasure - secret tears, this changeful life has slipped away; as friendless after eighteen years, as lone as on my natal day.” this poem from emily bronte perfectly demonstrates the desperate loneliness of her. different from his sister who created a world for everyone, she created a world for herself. on the wuthering field without anyone, she was also bursting her passion and youth, like a volcano with overwhelming power. emily never curried favor with the aesthetic orientation of the public, she was extremely sensitive but also firm and resolute as a man. there was a classic remark on her character by virginia woolf: “emily was inspired by some more general conception. the impulse which urged her to create was not her own suffering or her own injuries. she looked out upon a world cleft into gigantic disorder and felt within her the power to unite it in a book.”

emily had got a kind of power form the loneliness in her own world. she solely stood out of the square forever, viewing the whole world with her indifferent but warm eyes. the observation had given wuthering heights an incomparable power which made us dread, excited and moved.

“my great miseries in this world have been heathcliff's miseries, and i watched and felt each from the beginning: my great thought in living is himself. if all else perished, and he remained, i should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger: i should not seem a part of it. my love for linton is like the foliage in the woods: time will change it, i'm well aware, as winter changes the trees. my love for heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneath: a source of little visible delight, but necessary. nelly, i am heathcliff! he's always, always in my mind: not as a pleasure, any more than i am always a pleasure to myself, but as my own being.” this is the most moving part to me. the love between catherine and heathcliff was so incredible that they engraved themselves so deeply in each other’s spirit. emily constantly searched for a way, a way to love over secularity and morality. the woman was doomed to be alone all her life because there would be no man can understand her splendid grief, there would be no strength can overwhelm the mysterious power from her spirit.

she was just like a hazy moonstone.

catherine to some extent mabe the most bliss heroine. she found and was loved forever by another herself, she said,”i’m heathcliff.”

salute to the extraordinary emily, as well as the extraordinary wuthering heights.

the gothic setting in wuthering heights

after all this term’s learning on english literature , wuthering height may be the most impressive novel to me . so i will discuss something special in this book , the gothic setting.

what is gothic setting ?

gothic setting is one of the fiction genres which first begin at the middle of 19 century in england . sa一vage , mystery , terror , backward , dark , family curse , supernatural and suspense are the signal features of this kind of fiction genre . it mainly talks something about the dark side of society such as family hatred and succession race . the story in this style usually happens in remote place that far away from city .

what do we know about gothic setting in wuthering heights ?

in fact , what impresses me most in this novel is the description of the environment . it is full of gothic setting . we can find that there is no sunshine in wuthering heights all the year around , the haze and atmosphere there make people feel mystery and depressive . the weather is always changing according to the plot . when there is something badly happen , the environment will be influenced . for example, rain comes at once after catherine’s betray . when it comes to catherine’s death , it changes quickly and suddenly to hea一vy rain and strong wind . all in all , i think all this gothic setting is to show the feeling of writer .

the gothic setting in the book not only shows us the mystery of the environment , but also tells us the society stage and the different life style between different classes in that period . to catherine , heathcriff who belongs to the lower class represents spiritual love while linton in the upper class represents material . she is in a dilemma to make a decision . on one hand , all of us know catherine loves heathcriff deeply . on the other hand , linton can give her the life she expects , a rich and comfortable life and be respected by people . material wins in the end .

what do we learn from this novel ?

true love or material , this is a question . in the novel , catherine sacrifice her love to pursue a comfortable live . actually material is usually the first choice i think when most of the women come to this decision . this was one of the hotest topic at 2010 after a women said on tv she would rather to cry in a bmw than to laugh on a bicycle . what she said liked a big stone thrown into a peaceful lake . can money really replace love ? a lot of people argue on this question whether it is worthy of sacrificing on the internet .

as far as i’am concerned , nothing can take the place of our love . though material is necessary , too much money can not make people happier . it is ordinary for us to persue a better life . but do we really ha一ve to sacrifice our love ? why can’t we make our life comfortable through our hands or with our lover . maybe we will come to some trouble . but all these obstacles are just to make us stronger . though the process is difficult , it maybe the most precious memory and our treasures after overcoming all this difficulties .

呼啸山庄的英文读后感篇5

i spent twenty days reading this book. after reading this book, i felt for heathcliff at first. heathcliff begins his life as a homeless orphan on the streets of liverpool, and then he tyrannized by hindley earnshaw. but he becomes a villain when he acquires power and returns to wuthering heights with money and the trappings of a gentleman. his malevolence proves so great and long—lasting. as he himself points out, his abuse of isabella—his wife is purely sadistic, as he amuses himself by seeing how much abuse she can take and still come cringing back for more.

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 weakness. ultimately, she ruins her life by falling in love with heathcliff. he never returns her feelings and treats her as a meretool in his quest for revenge on the linton family.

just as isabella linton serves as catherine’s foil, edgar linton serves as heathcliff’s. edgar grows into a tender, constant, but cowardly man. he is almost the ideal gentleman. however, this full assortment of gentlemanly characteristics, along with his civilized virtues, proves useless in edgar’s clashes with his foil. he sees his wife obviously in love with another man but unable to do anything to rectify the situation. heathcliff, who gains power over his wife, sister , and daughter.

the whole story make people’s mood heavy. fortunately, the end is happy.

the author emily bronte lived an eccentric, closely guarded life. she was born in 1818, two years after charlotte—the author of jane eyre and a year and a half before her sister anne, who also became an author. her father worked as a church rector, and her aunt, who raised the bronte children after their mother died, was deeply religious. emily bronte did not take to her aunt’s christian fervor, the character of joseph, a caricature of an evangelical, may have been inspired by her aunt’s religiosity. the brontes lived in haworth, a yorkshire village in the midst of the moors. these wild, desolate expanses—later the setting of wuthering heights—made up the brontes daily environment, and emily lived among them her entire life. she died in 1848, at the age of thirty.

呼啸山庄的英文读后感篇6

published in 1847, wuthering heights was not well received by the reading public, many of whom condemned it as sordid, vulgar, and unnatural--and author emily bronte went to her grave in 1848 believing that her only novel was a failure. it was not until 1850, when wuthering heights received a second printing with an introduction by emily's sister charlotte, that it attracted a wide readership. and from that point the reputation of the book has never looked back. today it is widely recognized as one of the great novels of english literature.

even so, wuthering heights continues to spanide readers. it is not a pretty love story; rather, it is swirling tale of largely unlikeable people caught up in obsessive love that turns to dark madness. it is cruel, violent, dark and brooding, and many people find it extremely unpleasant. and yet--it possesses a grandeur of language and design, a sense of tremendous pity and great loss that sets it apart from virtually every other novel written.

the novel is told in the form of an extended flashback. after a visit to his strange landlord, a newcomer to the area desires to know the history of the family--which he receives from nelly deans, a servant who introduces us to the earnshaw family who once resided in the house known as wuthering heights. it was once a cheerful place, but old earnshaw adopted a "gipsy" child who he named heathcliff. and catherine, daughter of the house, found in him the perfect companion: wild, rude, and as proud and cruel as she. but although catherine loves him, even recognizes him as her soulmate, she cannot lower herself to marry so far below her social station. she instead marries another, and in so doing sets in motion an obsession that will destroy them all.

wuthering heights is a bit difficult to "get into;" the opening chapters are so dark in their portrait of the end result of this obsessive love that they are somewhat off-putting. ()but they feed into the flow of the work in a remarkable way, setting the stage for one of the most remarkable structures in all of literature, a story that circles upon itself in a series of repetitions as it plays out across two generations. catherine and heathcliff are equally remarkable, both vicious and cruel, and yet never able to shed their impossible love no matter how brutally one may wound the other.

as the novel coils further into alcoholism, seduction, and one of the most elaborately imagined plans of revenge it gathers into a ghostly tone: heathcliff, driven to madness by a woman who is not there but who seems reflected in every part of his world--dragging her corpse from the grave, hearing her calling to him from the moors, escalating his brutality not for the sake of brutality but so that her memory will never fade, so that she may never leave his mind until death itself. yes, this is madness, insanity, and there is no peace this side of the grave or even beyond.

it is a stunning novel, frightening, inexorable, unsettling, filled with unbridled passion that makes one cringe. even if you do not like it, you should read it at least once--and those who do like it will return to it again and again.
