呼啸山庄英文版读书笔记
Under a mountain villa under the abuse of violent storms， there is a story about love and hate, the Revenge of the devil, the passion across life and death, and an unforgivable life.
Wuthering Heights, as a classical literature of the 19th century, should have been stained with the gentle aristocratic atmosphere of female writers in that century, filled with warm manor atmosphere, with elegance and petty bourgeoisie taste. But when I finished reading this book, I knew that it was a wonderful flower full of infinite charm in the 19th century.
Wilderness, westerly wind, distant towns, broken weeds, rugged terrain, desolate sunset, seclusion life, hard running, lonely years, everything of Emily Bronte, no glory, - at least in the day of her birth - dreams die young, experience the commonplace of the world, and nature makes people happy. The talented woman who died early would never have thought that after her death, her only novel Wuthering Heights would be praised as "the strangest novel" by later generations and become a brilliant gem in the history of English literature in the 19th century. Up to now, countless readers are still impressed by its wonderful and moving brilliance and deeply amazed at its extraordinary artistic charm
Wuthering Heights is completely different from the popular works at that time. It is completely drawn with the natural coordination of mountains and wastelands without the influence and influence of the city. The background of the story is a windswept mountain plain. The characters of the story retain the style and original nature of nature: simple, rough, strong, unrestrained and unrestrained, crazy and unrestrained, but all love and reckless hatred. In the view of the gentle Jun Zi, nature seems barbaric and strange.
He was Heathcliff, but an unidentified child brought back by the villa owner, but her Catherine Earnshaw was the little daughter loved by the villa owner. They are close, they are childhood sweethearts. It should have been a good story, but fate always picks up a hammer and knocks it down at the happiest time, leaving only sadness and coldness all over the ground. After he lost his favor, she married someone else. His love was so blinded by hatred that he couldn't help asking: why？ Why does happiness come and go so fast? Without hesitation, he chose to leave temporarily, choose revenge and choose hell. Three years later, he came back with hatred and wealth. He retaliated fiercely.
This crazy revenge and resentment seems to go against common sense, but it incisively and vividly expresses his extraordinary rebellious spirit, which is a special resistance determined by a special environment and special character. Heathcliff's love tragedy is not only the tragedy of society, but also the tragedy of the times. The story of Wuthering Heights ends with Heathcliff committing suicide for revenge. His death is a kind of martyrdom, which expresses his unswerving love for Catherine, a love pursuit that life can't be in the same bed and death can also seek the same point. Before his death, he gave up the idea of revenge on the next generation, indicating that his nature was kind, but the cruel reality distorted his nature and forced him to become cruel and ruthless. This recovery of human nature is a spiritual sublimation, shining with the author's humanitarian ideal.
In the Victorian era, the noble and rich were full of ambition, identity first, money first, people's spirit was suppressed, and human nature was cruelly distorted. Therefore, Emily, who had a strong sense of villain and free thought, exposed the evil phenomenon through her works, and integrated her justice, passion and anger into her works. In the end, Heathcliff's love conquered his hate after all. When his revenge plans were realized one by one, he did not have the joy of victory, but roamed the vast grassland and finally died safely. Such a suffering and humiliating figure, his persistent desire for love and indomitable struggle against fate, made people feel desolate and tragic.
Emily deliberately creates a weird and nightmarish atmosphere of exaggeration. Some plots seem to have strange mysteries in the non real world. Soul, nonsense, illusion and nightmare make the story legendary, vividly showing the deepest infatuation, the most crazy persistence and the most painful struggle. Wind and rain, Blizzard, night, the wild nature of nature and the agitated feelings of the characters reflect each other. The desolate wilderness is far-reaching and changeable, gloomy and pathetic, highlighting the character's character, showing the deep love from human nature, making the protagonist as wild and impermanent as nature. The deep and boundless love goes deep into the human heart and strongly shakes the human soul.
