This is particularly true of Emily’s Wutherin g Heights. When we open this book, we can see various terrifying characters. The first character is the hero Heathclif f. He seems to be an inhuman monster. Being a son of the storm, his behavior is flooded with Gothic color: cruel, imperious, and he stoops to anything to get what he wants. What’s more, the love between Catherine and him goes beyond the common limit and is quite abnormal compared with love in other works of her age. The entire action of the story takes place within the two houses-Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange and on the moors lie between. The principal character, Heathcliff, around whom all the action revolves, emerges as starkly as Wuthering Heights. He may be thought of as the personification of the house. There is an analogy between his appearance and his character and that of the Heights itself.When Mr. Lockwood, the tenant of Thrushcross Grange, pays his visit to Wuthering Heights, curious about the brooding quality and crumbing, menacing appearance of the Heights and the inscription over the door- the date ‘1500’and the name ‘Hareton Earnshaw’, Mr. Lockwood would like to ask his landlord about this, but Heathcliff proves to be unsociable, inhospitable, and brusque.“The ‘walk in’ was uttered with closed teeth, and expressed the sentiment, ‘Go to the deuce’: even the gate over which he leant manifested no sympathizing movement to the words; and I think that circumstance determined me to accept the invitation: I felt interested in a man who seemed more exaggeratedly reserved th an myself.”[18]This is the first appearance that Emily displayed to us. And the first impression of t he hero Heathcliff adds the color of mystery and implies to the readers that the man is bound to have a long story. By the brief portrayal of the hero, she creates suspense for the whole story, which embodies the Gothic tradition.During Mr. Lockwood’s staying at the Heights, he found a diary. The entry regarding the degrading life Heathcliff was forced to lead by Hindley throws some light on the character of Heathcliff as Mr. Lockwood now finds him. For the first time we sympathize with Heathcliff in his anguish, although we are still ignorant as to its cause. Heathcliff has been revealed as a man capable of great emotion, as well as cruelty. The scene still is in the Heights. Declaring that the room is haunted, Mr. Lockwood decides to spend the rest of the night elsewhere. As he is about to leave the room, the odd and horrible thing happens: “I obeyed, so far as to quit the chamber; when ignorant where the narrow lobbies led, I stood still, and was witness, involuntarily, to a piece of superstition on the part of my landlord which belied, oddly, his apparent sense. He got on to the bed and wrenched open the lattice, bursting, as he pulled at it, into an unco ntrollable passion of tears. ‘Come in! Come in!’ he sobbed. ‘Cathy, do come. Oh, do-once more! Oh! My heart’s darling! Hear me this time, Catherine, at last!’ The specter showed a specter’s ordinary caprice: it gave no sign of being; but the snow and wind whirled wilding through, even reaching my station, and blowing out the light.”[19] Heathcliff is alarmed when he hears that Catherine has appeared to Mr. Lockwood; obviously, he believes that her spirit haunts Wuthering Heights and is trying to come to him from beyond the grave. This element arouses the interest and curiosity of the reader and embodies Gothic color a step forward.3.1.1.2 Crazy revenge on his enemiesWith the birth of his son Hareton and the death of his wife Frances Hindley’s final disintegration commerces. This is consistent with the moral weakness he has shown previously. He concentrates his venom on Heathcliff, whom he brutalizes and in whom he tries to stamp out the feeling of worthiness that old Mr. Earnshaw had engendered. Heathcliff, in turn, delights in seeing his enemy destroy himself. It is consistent with Heathcliff’s nature that he encourages his enemies to destroy themselves by their won inner flaws. And readers anticipate conflicts and trouble in the future. From this point of view, he behaves quite cruel and revengeful. To fulfill his revenge on Hindley, he turns little Hareton into a brute with no love or respect for his father, and he has ended his education – just as Hindley did to him. When Heathcliff reappears after Cather ine’s marriage, thinking she might show him where his evil ways are leading him, Nelly pays a visit to the Heights. Seeing little Hareton outside the gates, she identifies herself and says she has called to see his father, Hindley. Hareton does not recognize her as his former nurse and greets her with a hail of stones and curses. Nelly asks him who taught him such things and he answers “Devil daddy.”[20] He says his father cannot abide him because he swears at him. He says the curate no longer comes to teach him and it is Heathcliff, whom he loves, who has taught him to swear. Furthermore, he is determined to brutalize Hareton as himself was brutalized. This is evidented by the incident of Hareton’s hangingthe puppies. So far, Heathcliff has succeeded in re venging Hindley’s insult on the next generation. His cruelty is easy to feel.What’s more, his attitude towards Isabella is not only very cruel but also very imperious. Edgar is his enemy, too. Once he declares he will “crush his ribs in like a rotten-hazel-nut”.[21] Because of his hatred for Edgar, he takes advantage of Edgar’s sister, Isabella. When he finds Isabella has fallen in love with him, he encourages her to run off with him even though he does not love her at all. He does so only for the Linton property and the revenge on Edgar. But after her marriage to him, she receives no love or pity from him, but indifference and distain. The desperately unhappy Isabella sends a letter to Nelly saying “Is Mr. HeathcHeathcliff:1.The main character ,Orphaned as a child, he is constantly on theoutside, constantly losing people. Although he and Catherine Earnshaw profess that they complete each other, her decision to marry Edgar Linton almost destroys their relationship. He spends most of his life contemplating and acting out revenge. He is abusive, brutal, and cruel. 2.Most people thought that Heathcliff was devil or at least he should not do too many things wrongly. However, I thought him a victim.As an orphan Heathcliff did not know where he was from and who he was. When he was young, he was always abused and laughed at by Hindly. Only two people loved him, one was Mr. Earnshaw, who died when he was young, the other one was Cathy, who loved him but suffered from great pain. To him, Cathy was everything, a fter Mr. Earnshaw’s death. Unfortunately, Cathy’s childish choice made them unhappy all their life span. Heathcliff not only lost Cathy, but also lost everything.He can forgive the one who did harm to him, but cannot forgive the ones who did harm to Cathy. He loved Cathy so much that when Cathy left him, no one can bring him happiness. He became crazy, and lost himself in unbearable pain. To a desperate man, what he could do for her was to take revenge. What he did further was for Cathy.At last, he found little Cathy and Hareton were just like Cathy and him when they were young; he came to himself and realized that it was a bad ending. Though few happiness he had had all his life, he stopped bringing pain for the young, and left the broken-hearted world to be with Cathy, the woman who was the fountainhead of his suffering but was the only who could give him happiness. I see, although he had done too many wrong things, he was a kind man by nature.Wuthering Heights is a love novel. It has praised human’s mo ral excellence, has attracted the will of the people’s darkness, unfolding the human with the common custom life and pursueing the fine mind.3. To everyone but Catherine and Hareton, Heathcliff seems to be an inhuman monster — or even incarnate evil. From a literary perspective, he is more the embodiment of the Byronic hero (attributed to the writer George Gordon, Lord Byron), a man of stormy emotions who shuns humanity because he himself has been ostracized; a rebellious herowho functions as a law unto himself. Heathcliff is both despicable and pitiable. His one sole passion is Catherine, yet his commitment to his notion of a higher love does notReaders need to determine if his revenge is focused on his lost position at Wuthering Heights, his loss of Catherine to Edgar, or if it his assertion of dignity as a human being. The difficulty most readers have relating to and understanding Heathcliff is the fact that he hates as deeply as he loves; therefore, he is despised as much as he is pitied. Heathcliff's Obsession in Wuthering HeightsThroughout Wuthering Heights two distinct yet related obsessions drive Heathcliff's character: his desire for Catherine's love and his need for revenge. Catherine, the object of his obsession, becomes the essence of his life, yet, in a sense, he ends up murdering his love. Ironically, after her death, Heathcliff's obsession only intensifies. Heathcliff's love for Catherine enables him to endure Hindley's maltreatment after Mr. Earnshaw's death. But after overhearing Catherine admit that she could not marry him, Heathcliff leaves. Nothing is known of his life away from her, but he returns with money. Heathcliff makes an attempt to join the society to which Catherine is drawn. Upon his return, she favors him to Edgar but still he cannot have her. He is constantly present, lurking around Thrushcross Grange, visiting after hours, and longing to be buried in a connected grave with her so their bodies would disintegrate into one. Ironically, his obsession with revenge seemingly outweighs his obsession with his love, and that is why he does not fully forgive Catherine for marrying Edgar.After Catherine's death, he must continue his revenge — a revenge that starts as Heathcliff assumes control of Hindley's house and his son — and continues with Heathcliff taking everything that is Edgar's. Although Heathcliff constantly professes his love for Catherine, he has no problem attempting to ruin the life of her daughter. He views an ambiguous world as black and white: a world of haves and have-nots. And for too long, he has been the outsider. That is why he is determined to take everything away from those at Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange who did not accept him. For Heathcliff, revenge is a more powerful emotion than love.Catherine Earnshaw The love of Heathcliff's life. Wild, impetuous, and arrogant as a child, she grows up getting everything she wants. When two men fall in love with her, she torments both of them. Ultimately, Catherine's selfishness ends up hurting everyone she loves, including herself. Often viewed as the epitome of the free spirit, Catherine is torn between two worlds. On one hand, she longs to be with Heathcliff, hersoul mate: their life together, growing up and playing on the moors, represents the freedom and innocence of childhood. On the other, she recognizes what a marriage to Edgar can do for her socially, and she enjoys those things that Edgar can provide for her. Ultimately, she is self-absorbed and self-centered, and although she claims to love both Heathcliff and Edgar, she loves herself more, and this selfish love ends up hurting everyone who cares for her. Not until she nears death does Catherine turn exclusively towards Heathcliff, abandoning Edgar. Ironically, Heathcliff does not fully forgive her, and because of this, Edgar is the man who gives every appearance of loving Catherine unconditionally.Edgar Linton Catherine's husband and Heathcliff's rival. Well-mannered andwell-to-do, he falls in love with and marries Catherine. His love for her enables him to overlook their incompatible natures. Edgar represents the typical Victorian hero, possessing qualities of constancy and tenderness; however, a non-emotional intellectual is not the type of person who can make Catherine happy in the long run. Edgar loves and understands Catherine more than anyone realizes, but love alone is not enough to sustain a relationship. He ends up losing everything — his wife, his sister, his daughter, and his home — to Heathcliff because good does not always overcome evil. He is a foil for Heathcliff.Edgar represents the typical Victorian hero, possessing qualities of constancy and tenderness; however, a non-emotional intellectual is not the type of person who can make Catherine happy in the long run. Edgar loves and understands Catherine more than anyone realizes, but love alone is not enough to sustain a relationship. He ends up losing everything — his wife, his sister, his daughter, and his home — to Heathcliff because good does not always overcome evil. He is a foil for Heathcliff.Cathy Linton Daughter of Catherine and Edgar. A mild form of her mother, she serves as a reminder of her mother's strengths and weaknesses. (Note: For the purpose of clarity, the younger Catherine is referred to as "Cathy" in this Note, and her mother is referred to as "Catherine." This convention is not used in the original text.)Cathy's nature, a combination of both her parents, is key to revising the past. Her wildness and willfulness lead her to Wuthering Heights and the problems and pitfalls related therein. Her constant loyalty, good nature, and perseverance, however, eventually restore order and love to the farmhouse, thwarting Heathcliff's plans forrevenge. Just as Catherine's presence dominates the first half of the text, Cathy's rules the second. Edgar tries to keep her from Wuthering Heights (and from Heathcliff), but her attraction to a man and her independent nature — characteristics that mirror her mother — once again make Edgar's appeals ineffective.Linton Heathcliff Son of Heathcliff and Isabella. Weak and whiny (both physically and emotionally), he serves as a pawn in Heathcliff's game of revenge. He marries Cathy.Hareton Earnshaw Catherine's nephew, son of Hindley. Although uneducated and unrefined, Hareton has a staunch sense of pride. He is attracted to Cathy but put off by her attitude. His generous heart enables the two of them to eventually fall in love and marry. Hareton is the only person to mourn Heathcliff's death. More of a son to Heathcliff than Linton, Hareton exhibits a sense of nobility by remaining loyal to the only father he ever really knew. Although he loses his inheritance, he does not bear a grudge toward Heathcliff. For most of the text, he serves as a reminder to Heathcliff of what his father, Hindley, had done. But toward the end of the novel, Hareton begins to remind Heathcliff of Catherine. Hareton even stands up to Heathcliff on Cathy's behalf. Because he has never experienced love himself, readers do not know for sure of Hareton's capacity for it; however, his pairing with Cathy at the end of Wuthering Heights seems to suggest what Heathcliff may have been like under different circumstances.Ellen (Nelly) Dean The primary narrator and Catherine's servant. Although she is one person capable of relating the majority of the events that occurred, she is not without biasNelly serves as both outsider and insider as she narrates the primary story of Wuthering Heights. Although she does not exhibit the extreme lengths of cruelty shown by Heathcliff and Catherine, Nelly often is an instigator who enjoys the conflict around her. Nelly can be seen as a combination of Heathcliff's cruelty and Catherine'sself-centeredness.Lockwood Heathcliff's tenant at Thrushcross Grange and the impetus for Nelly's narration. Although he serves primarily as the catalyst for the story, Lockwood's role is an outsider who happens to gain inside information. His visit to Wuthering Heights and subsequent actions directly affect the plot.Mr. Earnshaw Catherine's father. He brings Heathcliff into his family and soon favors the orphan over his own son, Hindley.Mrs. Earnshaw Catherine's mother. Not much is known about her, except that she favors her own son to Heathcliff, whom she does not like.Hindley Earnshaw Catherine's brother. Jealous of Heathcliff, he takes a bit of revenge on Heathcliff after his father dies. He proves to be no match for Heathcliff, however, eventually losing his son and his family's home.Frances Earnshaw Hindley's wife. A sickly woman who dies soon after Hareton is born.Joseph Servant at Wuthering Heights. A hypocritical zealot who possesses a religious fanaticism that most find wearisome.Mr. and Mrs. Linton Edgar's parents. They welcome Catherine into her home, introducing her to the life in upper society. They die soon after nursing Catherine back to health.Isabella Edgar's sister. Her infatuation with Heathcliff causes her to destroy her relationship with her brother. She experiences Heathcliff's brutality first hand. She flees to London where she gives birth to Heathcliff's son, but her attempts to keep her son from his father fail.Zillah Heathcliff's housekeeper. She saves Lockwood from a pack of dogs and serves as Nelly's source of information at Wuthering Heights.Relationship:Love in the novel is manifested in many respects.Character MapCharacter Genealogy2.1 Earnshaw's love for HeathcliffForty years ago Wuthering Heights was filled with light, warmth and happiness.Mr.Earnshaw, a farmer, lives happily with his boisterous children Catherine and Hindley. However, being a kind and gene rous fellow, he can’t help rescuing a starving wretch off on the streets of Liverpool, a gypsy child named Heathcliff. In time Heathcliff becomes onemember of the family, loved by all except Hindley (who nurtures the feeling of being usurped). Thus it can be concluded that Earnshaw's love for Heathcliff stems from sympathy.2.2 Catherine' love for HeathcliffAs a child, her father was too ill to reprimand the free spirited child, ‘who was too mischievous and wayward for a favorite. (P46). Therefore, Catherine grew up among nature and lacked the sophistication of high society. Catherine removed herself from society and, "had ways with her such as I never saw a child take up before; she put all of us past our patience fifty times and oftener in a day; from the hour she came downstairs till the hour she went to bed, we had not a minute’s security that she wouldn’t be in mischief. Her spirits were always at high-water mark, her tongue always going--singing, laughing, and plaguing everyone who would not do the same. A wild, wicked slip she was--"(P51). Catherine further disregarded social standards and remained friends with Heathcliff despite his degradation by Hindley, her brother. ‘Miss Cathy and he [Heathcliff] were now very thick; ’(P46) and she found he r sole enjoyment in his companionship. Catherine grew up beside Heathcliff, ‘They both promised to grow up as rude as savages; the young master [Hindley] being entirely negligent how they behaved, ’(P57). During her formative years Catherine’s conduct did not reflect that of a young Lady, ‘but it was one of their chief amusements to run away to the moors in the morning and remain there all day, (P57). Thus, Catherine’s behavior developed and rejected the ideals of an oppressive,over-bearing society, which in turn created isolation from the institutionalized world. Therefore, Catherine's love for Heathcliff is pure, and Heathcliff's love for Catherine is tinged with danger and violence.2.3 Isabella's love for HeathcliffThe first time when Isabella sees Heathcliff, attracted by the charming man, she falls in love with him. No matter how Catherine persuades her, she makes her mind to get married with Heathcliff. Her love for Heathcliff is pure. While, Heathcliff just uses Catherine's sister-in-law Isabella Linton as a weapon, caring not for the poor lass.2.4 Catherine's love for EdgarWhen Catherine and Heathcliff exist their private island unchecked until Catherine suffers an injury from the Linton's bulldog. Forced to remain at Thrushcross Grange----the Linton's home, which isolates Catherine from Heathcliff and her former world of reckless freedom. Living amongst the elegance of the Lintons transforms Catherine from a coarse youth into a delicate lady. Her transformation alienates Heathcliff, her soul mate and the love of her life. Catherine fits into society like a square peg trying to fit in a round hole. However, she feels pressure to file her rough edges and marry Edgar Linton. All in all, it isthe social pressures and restrictive cultural confines that force Catherine to pretend to fall in love with Edgar. However, Edgar loves Catherine with gracious and transquility. Introduction of the storyThe beginning of the story was Mr. Lockwood’s visiting of Wuthering Heights. His amazement of Heathcliff's surliness and curiosity of beautiful Catherine's rudeness urged him to listen to a very strange and frightening love story from Nelly Dean. In the summer of 1771 Mr. Earnshaw brought home an orphan later called Heathcliff he had found in Liverpool. This waif was persecuted by young Hindley, but deeply loved by his daughter Catherine. So there was contradiction between Hindley and Heathcliff since childhood. After the death of their parents and his own marriage, Hindley treated Heathcliff as a servant, but this was relieved by the pleasant times with Cathy.On one of their expeditions they reached Thrushcross Grange where she stayed as the Linton’s guest for several weeks. When she returned to the Wuthering Heights, she was altered a lot: she had been deeply attracted by the dress, luxury of the Lintons, especially the handsome and gentle Edgar Linton. Although she still loved Heathcliff she could not compare Heathcliff’s snobbishness with the gentility of her new friends. Heathcliff was ev en more badly treated by Hindley after his wife’s death, which increased Heathcliff’s more anger. After overhearing part of Catherine’s conversation with Nelly that she would marry Edgar, Heathcliff could not bear the indignation and degradation and left Wuthering Heights.Catherine’s conversation with Nelly was that if Heathcliff could remain, even though all else perished, she should still continue to be. She and Heathcliff belonged to the same kind. But Heathcliff didn’t hear it. So after Heathcliff’s leaving, Catherine was desperately ill and recovered by the care of Linton couple. Three years later Catherine was married to Edgar.Six months later, Heathcliff, a different man, appeared. Catherine was so pleased at the news. But out of her surprise Heathcliff took on his two-fold revenge, first on Hindley who had treated him so badly in the past, secondly he threatened Catherine to marry Linton.Unfortunately Edgar’s sister Isabella fell in love with Heathcliff and Heathcliff married her out of love, but for the property of Thrush cross Grange. At the same time Catherine locked herself in the room because Edgar refused Heathcliff. The she became delirious from illness and had brain fever. Eventually she recovered but remained delicate. Edgar worried too much about Catherine’s health and emotion.Then Heathcliff and Catherine met again. There was a terrible scene between them. Both of them showed their anger and love to each other which worsened Catherine’s health. Then two hours after her daughter —Cathy’s birth Catherine died. When Heathcliff got the news he was desperately sad.After Catherine’s death Isabella returned to Thrushcross Grange after three months with Heathcliff. Hindley died and Heathcliff took Wuthering Heights.Thirteen years later Isabella died, leaving her son Linton to Heathcliff, a weakling boy. Then Edgar Linton and young Linton died and so Heathcliff, Cathy and Hareton, an ill-assorted trio, were left at the Heights; while Thrush Grange was left to Lowood, to whom Nelly told the tale.The story ended with the death of Heathcliff and the marriage of Hareton and Cathy. This was two generations’ love story. The first generation’s love was transcendental and the second generation’s love was earthy.经典语句:Are you possessed with a devil to talk in that manner to me when you aredying?Do you reflect(考虑到)that all those words will be branded on my memory,and eating deeper eternally after you have left me? You know you lie to say I have killedyou:and ,Catherine,you know that I could as soon forget you as my existence!Is it not suffecient for your infernal selfishness , that while you are at peace I shall writhe (翻腾)in the torments of hell?凯瑟琳,你知道我只要活着就不会忘掉你!当你得到安息的时候,我却要在地狱的折磨里受煎熬,这还不够使你那狠毒的自私心得到满足吗?2、You teach me now how cruel you've been-cruel and false.Why did you despise(瞧不起) me?Why did you betray(背叛)your own heart, Cathy?你现在才使我明白你曾经多么残酷——残酷又虚伪。

写作对比
在写作风格上,夏洛蒂也独树一帜。她文笔简洁而传神,质朴 而生动,加之第一人称的叙述语言,使得小说贴近读者,贴近 现实。同时,小说又体现了欧洲浪漫主义文学传统的特点,显 示出作者丰富的想象力和诗人的气质。作者在叙述中自然地使 用了梦境、幻觉、预感和象征、隐喻等手法,使小说的“自然” 境她能用最透辟的眼光向人们表示,资产阶级婚姻的实质无非 是金钱交易,利益的结合。 艾米莉,她表面沉默寡言,内心却热情奔放,虽不懂政治,却 十分关心政治,同情手工业工人的反抗和斗争。这就为《呼啸 山庄》的诞生创造了条件。钱交易,利益的结合。界扑朔朦胧, 情节扣人心弦。是一种精神上的升华,闪耀着作者人道主义的 理想。它一反同时代作品普遍存在的伤感主义情调,而以强烈 的爱、狂暴的恨及由之而起的无情的报复,取代了低沉的伤感 和忧郁。它宛如一首奇特的抒情诗,字里行间充满着丰富的想 象和狂飙般猛烈的情感,具有震撼人心的艺术力量。
作品影响
《呼啸山庄》出版后一直被人认为是英国文学史上 一部"最奇特的小说",是一部"奥秘莫测"的"怪书"。 原因在于它一反同时代作品普遍存在的伤感主义情 调。而以强烈的爱、狂暴的恨及由之而起的无情的 报复,取代了低沉的伤感和忧郁。它宛如一首奇特 的抒情诗,字里行间充满着丰富的想象和狂飙般猛 烈的情感,具有震撼人心的艺术力量。虽然它开始 曾被人看做是年轻女作家脱离现实的天真幻想,但 结合其所描写地区激烈的阶级斗争和英国的社会现 象,它不久便被评论界高度肯定,并受到读者的热 烈欢迎。根据这部小说改编的影视作品至今久演不 衰。
《呼啸山庄》通过一个爱情悲剧,向人们展示了一幅畸形社会的生 活画面,勾勒了被这个畸形社会扭曲了的人性及其造成的种种可怖 的事件。整个故事的情节实际上是通过四个阶段逐步铺开的。第一 阶段叙述了希斯克利夫与凯瑟琳朝夕相处的童年生活;一个弃儿和 一个小姐在这种特殊环境中所形成的特殊感情,以及他们对亨德雷 专横暴虐的反抗。第二阶段着重描写凯瑟琳因为虚荣、无知和愚昧, 背弃了希斯克利夫,成了画眉田庄的女主人。第三阶段以大量笔墨 描绘希斯克利夫如何在绝望中把满腔仇恨化为报仇雪耻的计谋和行 动。最后阶段尽管只交代了希斯克利夫的死亡,却突出地揭示了当 他了解哈里顿和小凯瑟琳相爱后,思想上经历的一种崭新的变化-人性的复苏,从而使这出具有恐怖色彩的爱情悲剧透露出一束令人 快慰的希望之光。 《呼啸山庄》的故事是以希斯克利夫达到复仇 目的而自杀告终的。他的死是一种殉情,表达了他对凯瑟琳生死不 渝的爱,一种生不能同衾、死也求同穴的爱的追求。而他临死前放 弃了在下一代身上报复的念头,表明他的天性本来是善良的,只是 由于残酷的现实扭曲了他的天性,迫使他变得暴虐无情。这种人性 的复苏是一种精神上的升华,闪耀着作者人道主义的理想。

Emily Brontë
Emily Brontëwas an English novelist and poet, best remembered for her only novel, Wuthering Heights, now considered a classic of English literature. She died at the age of 30. She remains a mysterious figure and a challenge to biographers because information about her is sparse, due to her solitary and reclusive nature. She does not seem to have made any friends outside her family.
• However, Catherine confesses to Nelly that she will marry Edgar Linton, who lives in Thrushcross Grange , although her love for Edgar is not comparable to her love for Heathcliff, whom she cannot marry because of his low social status and lack of education. Heathcliff overhears this and in despair runs away.

当时因为内容对人性丑恶的描写而遭致非议,被称为是一本“可怕而野蛮”的书,书中写尽了寂寥的荒野、偏僻的古堡、粗暴的爱情,气氛阴郁而浓厚,被当时人所不容。
但是随着时间的推移,这部小说逐渐的被主流社会所认同,并且被认为是勃朗特姐妹所有的作品中最为出色的一部。
艾米丽独特的气质,对世界的感悟,对荒原的依恋和描写,给这部小说增添了独特的审美意味,这是这部小说明显不同于维多利亚时代其他小说的原因。
其中也继承了象征、恐怖和神秘等哥特小说手法。
小说的背景是十八世纪英格兰北部的约克郡,呼啸山庄的主人、恩肖先生(Earnshaw)带回一个身分不明的吉普赛男孩,取名希斯克利夫(Heathcliff),这位小男孩夺去了主人对小主人亨德利(Hindley)和他妹妹凯瑟琳(Catherine)的宠爱。

后来,凯瑟琳受外界影响,改而爱上有钱、成熟的画眉庄园的青年埃德加·林顿(Edgar Linton)。
使希斯克利夫在暴风雨之夜愤而出走,三年后再出现时,已经是一名富商,他的出现造成呼啸山庄诡异的气氛,希斯克利夫的爱变得偏激,他不但想报复凯瑟琳,还不放过她身边的每一个人,他用赌博赢得了山庄,亨德利成为他的仆人,亨德利最后死得不明不白,儿子哈里顿则成了奴仆。
他还故意娶了埃德加的妹妹伊莎贝拉(Isabella)为妻,造成兄妹失和,并施以迫害。
埃德加反对凯瑟琳和希斯克里夫继续来往,这使得凯瑟琳越来越忧郁,内心痛苦不堪的凯瑟琳在生产中死去。

Heathcliff is a fictional character in the novel Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë. Owing to the novel's enduring fame and popularity, he is often regarded as an archetype of the tortured Romantic Byronic hero whose
all-consuming passions destroy both himself and those around him. Heathcliff can also be viewed as a reflection and product of his psychological past: the abuse, neglect and scorn of those with whom he grows up render him abusive, neglectful and scornful.
Legend has stereotyped him somewhat into a romantic hero, and he is generally known more for his love for Catherine Earnshaw than his final years of vengeance in the second half of the novel, in which he grows into a bitter, haunted man (although there are also a number of incidents in Heathcliff's early life that show that he was an angry and sometimes malicious individual from the beginning; again, these tend to be glossed over in the popular imagination). His complicated, mesmerising and altogether bizarre nature makes him a rare character, with components of both the hero and the
anti-hero.
Catherine Earnshaw, known as Catherine Linton after her marriage, is the main female protagonist of Emily Brontë's novel Wuthering Heights.
While residing in her ancestral home Wuthering Heights, she forms a deep romantic bond with foster brother Heathcliff, one that leads them both into misery, violence and despair.
Edgar Linton is a character in Emily Brontë's novel Wuthering Heights. His role in the story is that of Catherine Earnshaw's husband. He resides at Thrushcross Grange and falls prey to Heathcliff's schemes for revenge against his family.
Edgar is the father of his and Catherine's daughter, Catherine Linton, and the brother of Isabella Linton. He is a complete foil of Heathcliff as a character, as shown by his tender, gentle, and weak personality as opposed to Heathcliff's savage, tyrannical nature.
Isabella Linton is a female character in Emily Brontë's only novel Wuthering Heights. She is the sister of Edgar Linton and the wife of Heathcliff.
Hindley Earnshaw is a male character in Emily Bronte's novel Wuthering Heights. The brother of Catherine Earnshaw, father of Hareton Earnshaw, and sworn enemy of Heathcliff, he descends into a life of drunkenness, degradation, and misery after his wife Frances dies in childbirth, enabling
Heathcliff to seek revenge on him for his cruelty towards him in his childhood years.
Ellen "Nelly" Dean is a female character in Emily Bronte's novel, Wuthering Heights. She is the main narrator for the story, and gives key eyewitness accounts as to what happens between the characters. Ellen is for the most part called "Nelly" by all characters.
Catherine Linton, or Cathy Linton, is a character in Emily Brontë's novel Wuthering Heights. She is the daughter of Edgar Linton and Catherine Earnshaw, and, despite Heathcliff's attempts at exacting revenge on her for the indiscretions of her family, she eventually marries her true love, Hareton Earnshaw, re-establishing long-lost equilibrium in the story.
Hareton Earnshaw is a character in Emily Brontë's novel Wuthering Heights. He is the son of Hindley Earnshaw and Hindley's wife Frances. At the end of the novel, he makes plans to wed Catherine Linton, with whom he falls in love.。
