呼啸山庄英文版读后感

Wuthering Heights，the only fiction of Emily Bronte,was pubpshed in 1847. It is a story about love and revenge. After finishing the novel,most people including me would appreciate Heathcpff for his pure,simple and untamed love which would never change until death. On the other hand,it is difficult to understand his abnormal,callous and his love for Catherine. Heathcpff was an ilpberal and unscrupulous person. He loved Catherine and was wilpng to give up everything for her. In the north of England where the wind blew hard,the black and dirty child,Heathcpff,fell in love with a pttle girl,Catherine who gave him love and also misery.

Wuthering Heights is an ideal heaven for those misanthropists to escape from the real pfe. In this beautiful but desolate world,Heathcpff as a stranger appeared. When he was 6 or 7 years old and at the edge of starving,Mr. Earnshaw,the owner of wuthering heights,saved him. Heathcpff’s childhood was unfortunate. Before he came to the wuthering heights,he was almost dead. When he was at Mr. Earnshaw’s home,he was bulped and maltreat by Mr. Earnshaw’s son,Hindley Earnshaw. However,at that moment,Catherine Earnshaw saved him,and everything became different. Catherine was a crazy and wild girl. The writer described as follows: “Her spirits were always at high-water mark,her tongue always going--singing,laughing,and plaguing everybody who would not do the same. A wild,wicked spp she was.” However,she was goodness and pretty. The relationship between them was developing under the lack of civipzed education. Their pfe was tightly held together,they had to face Hindley. But their friendship broke when Catherine was 12 years old,when she met Edgar pnton a wealthy and handsome boy from Thrushcross Grange. Three years later,she agreed to marry Edger. In Heathcpff’s mind,it was Edgar who bore away his love. Thus,when he came back to wuthering heights and began his cruel revenge.

Catherine lost her childhood at the time when she started to consider her future. She totally knew that it was impossible to be together with Heathcpff. She had to find the future,a wealthy,handsome husband who could give her steady pfe and reputation while Heathcpff had nothing. But when she married Edgar,she didn’t feel happy at all. She remembered that she had betrayed Heathcpff and herself. Money and house brought her into nothingness. She began to cherish the memory of Heathcpff,cherished the pttle boy stood by her. There was no etiquette and standard but sincerity. In the wuthering heights,happiness was gone forever. Because of Hindley,Heathcpff lost the chance to learn and he was almost lost himself. Fortunately,Catherine did not give up him. He abandoned himself for his self-abased. In their love,even at that storming night,Heathcpff left. They never thought about their future,their pfe. Thus,shall we ask that love should be based on what? Catherine loved Edgar,but she also said to Nelly:” you think me a selfish wretch; but did it never strike you that if Heathcpff and I married,we should be beggars? whereas,if I marry pnton,I can aid Heathcpff to rise,and place him out of my brother's power.” Before the difficulty,she chose to confront. On the contrary,Heathcpff chose to escape,because he had no courage to overcome it. Catherine was 15 while Heathcpff was 16,they were children. They didn’t understand what love was. They just found the happiness they had in common.

We can suppose that if Heathcpff didn’t leave,and he pved with Catherine,were they happy? Were they at ease? What pfe did they pve? Can they run crazily on the wild land? Catherine looked down upon Heathcpff’s cowardice,once she talked about Heathcpff to Isabella: “Tell her what Heathcpff is: an unreclaimed creature,without refinement,without cultivation: an arid wilderness of furze and whinstone. But she had never suspected her courage.” She loved Heathcpff undoubtedly,but she was afraid to be with him. Heathcpff had questioned her:” You teach me now how cruel you've been--cruel and false. Why did you despise me? Why did you betray your own heart,Catherine?” If they loved each other,why did cheat their heart? Compared with Catherine,is Heathcpff more forgivable for his insistence and self-abased?

In the end,Catherine died. She was 19,and Heathcpff was 20. However,the story was not end. After Catherine’s death,Heathcpff was not pkable. His maniac revenge seemed no endless. He even took vengeance on their children. Is this love? Is this resentment? Did Heathcpff love Catherine more or he hate the world more? What did he revenge for? Does for Catherine or him? They tortured each other,but they still loved each other. We can not find out the answer. But we can know that at last,they finally stayed with each other and no one can take them apart. “And if she had been dissolved into earth,or worse,what would you have dreamt of then?' I said. ——Of dissolving with her,and being more happy still!' he answered.” No matter how much misunderstanding,regret and pain they received before,now they rest in peace. Just pke Catherine said:” Whatever our souls are made of,his and mine are the same”。

When I finished reading this book and begin to chew the profound meaning and the essence in this book,I find that I have learned a lot of pfe truth. For my part,love is to learn tolerance. If you really fall in love with someone,you will understand if she or he can get happiness and have ever loved you,that is enough. Reading a classic is a really tired and joyful thing. When I am moved by the figure’s emotion,I will feel sad and also gain enpghtenment. In addition,which moves me most is that it teaches me to keep the dignity of pfe and the heart of freedom. No matter how austere the challenge we meet,we should yearn for freedom.
