The feeling after reading the book of Wuthering Heights

The book of Wuthering Heights gave me a special kind of depression and made me able to understand what love on the earth is. I believe that everyone who read it would be touched and moved. The masterpiece’s author is Emily Jane Brontë who was an English novelist and poet and now best remembered for her novel Wuthering Heights, a classic of English literature. After reading Wuthering Heights, the love and the hatred between Catherine and Heathcliff still linger in my head. Wuthering

Heights gives me a cold, withering, and lonely feeling; however, at the end the book the author shows us that the human kindness is not diminished at Wuthering heights, even though the wind can break off a tree that doesn’t mean it can break off the whole forest. Even though hatred destroyed Heathcliff, Catherine, Edgar and Elizabeth’s happiness, that doesn’t mean Cathy and Hareton’s happiness.

The novel opens in 1801, with Mr. Lockwood arriving at Thrushcross Grange, a grand house on the Yorkshire moors that he rents from the surly, brooding, unsociable Heathcliff, master of nearby Wuthering Heights. Lockwood is treated rudely, and coldly by Heathcliff, but must stay overnight at Wuthering Heights after being attacked by a savage dog of the Heights and entrapped by the weather. The housekeeper cautiously takes him to a chamber but warns him to not speak to Heathcliff about where he is sleeping, for he would get in deep trouble.

That night, Lockwood finds the diary of a girl named Catherine Earnshaw, a close childhood friend of Heathcliff. Dozing off, Lockwood has a terrifying dream of

Catherine's ghost appearing at his window, deathly pale, and begging to be let in, then struggling to enter through the broken window. Horrified, Lockwood finds himself driving her away by seizing her wrist and forcing it down on the window's broken glass. Heathcliff, awakened by Lockwood's shouts, comes running. Heathcliff's mood changes dramatically when Lockwood tells him of Catherine's ghost. Heathcliff asks Mr. Lockwood to leave the room and Lockwood hears him sobbing outside the door saying, \"Oh Cathy, please come in.\" The next morning, after returning to Thrushcross Grange, Lockwood asks the housekeeper, Nelly Dean, to tell the story of Heathcliff, Catherine, and Wuthering Heights

it was a story about love and revenge: the abandoned boy Heathdiff was adopted by Mr. Eamshaw and lived with Mr. Earnshaw’s son Hindley and daughter Cathiner. Hindley disliked Heathdiff. He insulted and maltreated Heathdiff in every possible way after Mr. Earnshaw’s death. At the same time, peculiar emotion occurred between Cathiners and Heathdiff. Because of vanity and ignorance, Cathiner decided to marry Linton. Heathdiff left with anger. Three years later, Heathdiff returned to revenge. He succeeded in annexing all the property of Hindley’s and the Linton’s. However, Cathiner’s ghost pestered him all the time and he died in mental disorder.

To understand Wuthering Heights, you must know the author Emily well. She had been abnormal in internality ever since her childhood. Her sister Charlotte had once said that Emily was even stronger than a man in character, and simpler than a child. He name Heathdiff was compounded by the words Heath and Cliff; itself gave the readers a feeling of unfeelingness, which well annotated Emily’s abnormal mentality.

Abnormal mentality did good for inducing and enriching the imagination of the author in some way. Sometimes, Emily’s imagination was beyond human nature but unreasonable. That was why she could with the thrilling scene in Mr. Lockwood’s dream, the behavior of Cathiner when she fell ill, and the words full of strong enthusiasm but unimaginable like. They were locked in an embrace from which I thought my mistress would never be released alive. Emily’s abnormal quality decided the thinking way during her creating, but her work was far from abnormal. Withering Heights is a healthy and harmonious work.Love-hetred-Ievenge-the Ievival of huanan natme,that is the clue of the story Cathiner and Heathdiff weIe a copula of Libels

Actually, there is no such a character I really like in Wuthering Heights, every character seems teemed with agony and animosity, especially Heathcliff. Heathcliff is an orphan before Mr.Earnshaw adopts him, and in the novel, it says that Mr.Earnshaw treats Heathcliff even better than his own son, Hindley Earnshaw. It’s quite amazing that in spite of Earnshaw’s nice treatment, Heathcliff has no gratitude at all, he

revenged Hindley and Catherine, even their heirs. After reading Heathcliff’s story, my feeling is complicated, although he is the avenger who dominate the whole story by using his vengeful machinations, he is also the most pitiful guy in Wuthering Heights; he doesn’t know what is love and don’t know how to love. Heathcliff has lived with the Earnshaws for more than 10 years, but there is no attachment between him and the whole family except Catherine, but even Catherine who was died because of Heathcliff’s tournament. When he is torturing others, he is also giving himself a suffering.

Catherine, who is the heroine in the book, is described by Nelly as capricious and selfish. She is just like Heathcliff, doesn’t know how to love at all. The most vivid character in the story was represented by Hindley and he could bear he was tormented by love Catheter’s contempt and Laughing at him that was what he couldn’t bear That the heavy pies sure split his soul explained his cruel and crazy revenge. The writing of the novel gave preference to mysterious phenomenon and horrible atmosphere one of the most important fealties was the complexity of the narration structure it broke away from conventions and began from the middle this method of narration was for more attractive.

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.
