浅析希斯克利夫的悲剧命运

浅析希斯克利夫的悲剧命运

浅析希斯克利夫的悲剧命运在英国文学的长河中,《呼啸山庄》中的希斯克利夫以其复杂而悲惨的命运,深深地触动了无数读者的心灵。

希斯克利夫,这个被命运捉弄的灵魂,他的一生都沉浸在痛苦与复仇的漩涡中,其悲剧命运的背后,有着诸多令人深思的因素。

希斯克利夫的悲剧首先源于他的出身。

他是一个被抛弃的流浪儿,被老恩肖先生收养,却在这个家庭中遭受了不平等的对待。

老恩肖先生的偏爱引发了辛德雷的嫉妒和仇恨,希斯克利夫在童年时期就备受欺凌和压迫。

这种不公平的待遇在他幼小的心灵中埋下了仇恨的种子,也塑造了他倔强、敏感和孤僻的性格。

他没有享受到家庭的温暖和关爱,没有得到应有的尊重和教育,这使得他在社会中处于极度弱势的地位。

爱情的破灭是希斯克利夫悲剧命运的重要推手。

他与凯瑟琳之间炽热而复杂的爱情,是他生命中的一抹亮光。

然而,凯瑟琳最终在世俗的压力和内心的矛盾下,选择了嫁给林顿。

这对希斯克利夫来说,无疑是致命的打击。

他的爱情梦想被残酷地击碎,他的心灵陷入了无尽的黑暗。

凯瑟琳的背叛让他对爱情失去了信心,对世界充满了绝望。

从此,他的心中只有复仇的火焰,他将所有的痛苦都转化为对他人的报复。

社会环境的冷漠和残酷也是希斯克利夫无法逃脱悲剧命运的原因之一。

在那个等级森严、金钱至上的社会中,希斯克利夫作为一个出身卑微、没有财富和地位的人,处处受到歧视和排斥。

他无法通过正常的途径获得成功和幸福,无法改变自己的命运。

社会的不公和冷漠,让他感到无助和绝望,进一步加剧了他内心的仇恨和扭曲。

希斯克利夫自身性格的缺陷也是导致他悲剧命运的一个不可忽视的因素。

他过于倔强、偏执和极端,不懂得宽容和放下。

他将复仇视为生命的全部,陷入了仇恨的泥潭无法自拔。

这种极端的性格使得他在复仇的道路上越走越远,最终不仅伤害了别人,也毁灭了自己。

他的一生都在痛苦和挣扎中度过,从未真正得到过内心的平静和安宁。

希斯克利夫的悲剧命运令人扼腕叹息,同时也引发了我们对人性、社会和命运的深刻思考。

读书心得——《呼啸山庄》的悲剧根源探析

读书心得——《呼啸山庄》的悲剧根源探析

读书心得——《呼啸山庄》的悲剧根源探析一.凯瑟琳对于自我的背叛在小说当中,凯瑟琳和希斯克利夫之间的爱情是从小就萌发的,不过希斯克利夫是凯瑟琳的父亲在利物浦捡来的流浪儿。

所以他们两人之间的身份是有着一定的差异,不过他们之间却有着非常多的性格相似点,从小她们的性格之间就是两小无猜,而且青梅竹马,性格上面的相似点也让他们有着非常深厚的感情基础。

由于希斯克利夫从小就是一个流浪儿的身份,因此,在小的时候经常在凯瑟琳的家中受到其他人的欺负,不过凯瑟琳却从来没有看不起希斯克利夫,反而把希斯克利夫作为自己一个非常好的朋友进行交往。

在小说当中,凯瑟琳和希斯克利夫长期的在一起游玩,小说里面讲到她们一大清早就会到荒原那里奔跑,一起干活一起玩。

不过他们这样的一种关系,最后却没有让凯瑟琳留在希斯克利夫的身边,实际上也是因为希斯克利夫和凯瑟琳之间存在的这种身份差异。

小说不断地体现出凯瑟琳对于希斯克利夫的深刻爱意,但是却没有办法让凯瑟琳和希斯克利夫真正的走在一起,凯瑟琳为希斯克利夫承受了过多的打骂,但是凯瑟琳对于希斯克利夫的感情却从来没有被动摇过。

最后凯瑟琳选择里没有和希斯克利夫一起,这个从本质上来看是凯瑟琳对自我真实想法的背叛。

由于凯瑟琳因为经历了一次特殊的造访,所以他对于希斯克利夫兰也不再有那么强烈的爱意,她不再是一个非常野蛮的女孩子,而选择打扮的像淑女一样,因为凯瑟琳意识到自己还是一个出身于贵族的女子,所以凯瑟琳最终还是选择了和贵族的男子结合在一起,而抛弃了流浪儿出身的希斯克利夫。

在这个变成淑女的凯瑟琳面前,希斯克利夫觉得非常的自卑,因为他非常清楚自己的出生是十分卑微的,而现在的凯瑟琳已经不再和自己一样,而是一个贵族的女子了。

所以凯瑟琳实际上选择了和林顿在一起,这是符合了他自己内心的想法,但是从本质上看,凯瑟琳应该选择和自己感情和趣味更加相投的希斯克利夫,不过因为自己的出身是比希斯克利夫更高,所以凯瑟琳还是选择成为了贵族家里面的女子,这一点实际上也是凯瑟琳对自己真实感情的一次最为严重的背叛。

Introduction1.1Introduction of Emily Bronte and her Wuthering HeightsEmily Jane Bronte (July 30, 1818 – December 19, 1848) was a great British novelist and pet in the 19th century and one of the extraordinary women writers in the literary history of England, and she is also best remembered for her only novel Wuthering Heights, which is now an acknledged classic of English literature.Emily was born at Thornton in Yorkshire. She was the younger sister of Charlotte Bronte, and the fifth of six children. It was the discovery of Emily's poetic talent by her family that led her and her sisters, Charlotte and Anne, to publish jointly a book of poems entitled Poems by Currer, Ellis and Action Bell in 1846. To evade contemporary prejudice against female writers, all three used male pseudonyms, Emily's being "Ellis Bell". She wrote many poems of her own and some of these during her short life, in the form of powerful lyrics. These lyrics have been esteemed highly as passionate utterances of the author’s innermost feelings and thoughts.She subsequently published her only novel, Wuthering Heights, in 1847, a powerful, poetic work, but whose innovative structure somewhat puzzled critics. Although it received mixedreviews when it first came out, the book subsequently became an English literary classic.Wuthering heights depicts the foundling boy Heathcliff after the adoption by the Earnshaw. He lived with Mr. Earnsh aw’s son Hindley and daughter Catherine. Hindley treat Heathcliff badly.He insulted and maltreated Heathcliff in veery possible way afther Mr.Earnshaw’s death. At the same time, peculiar emotion occurred between Cath erine and Heathcliff. Because of her vanity and ignorance, Catherine decided to marry Linton. Heathcliff left with anger. Three years later, Heathcliff returned to revenge. He succeeded in annexing all the property of Hindley’s and the Linton’s. However,Catherine’s ghost pestered him all the time and he died in the dream with Catherine.1.2Introduction of the tragic love storyWuthering Heights shows us the life scenes in a deformity society through a tragic love story, outlines all kinds of the terrible events caused by the human nature in the distorted society. The title of the novel comes from the Yorkshire manor on the moors of the story (as an adjective, Wuthering is a Yorkshire word referring to turbulent weather). The narrative tale centers on the all-encompassing, passionate, but ultimately doomed love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, and how this unresolved passion eventually destroys them and the people around them.The plot of story is actually spread gradually through four stages.The first stage describes the childhood life of Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw who the two children spend hours on the moors together and hate every moment; the special feeling between a homeless gypsy boy and an honored, upper-class lady in the unique environment, and their rebel against the tyranny ofCatherine’s brother Hindley.The second stage focuses on describing Catherine as a common lady who pursues the traditional “human love” and denies Heathcliff’s love; at last she married to Layton, a young and rich, educated gentleman, and becomes the mistress of Thrushcross Grange. She admitted Nelly that she loves Layton, because he is young, handsome, and rich and loves her, and the most important one is that he can make her become the most respected woman. While Catherine patted on her forehead and chest said: “In my soul my heart, I know I was wrong.”She also loves Heathcliff, but here love for Heathcliff is derived form “he and I are the same piece of material”. Love, from the pursuit of happiness to the pursuit of oneself, has become just “super-human love”.In the third stage, the novel, by using a lot of words, describes how Heathcliff who is filled with hatred and despair makes all kinds of actions on his revenge. This part is the main theme of the whole story. With the death of Catherine, Edgar, Isabella, Heathcliff’s son and himself, Heathcliff achieves his revenge on those who treated him badly.At last, the novel only narrates the death of Heathcliff, but reveals a brand new change of his minds when he found that Hareton and Cathy fell in love with each other. His minds changes from love, hatred, and revenge to the recovery of human nature, which reveals a light of hope in this tragic love which is full of horror color.In the novel, Heathcliff and Catherine later grow close, and their love becomes the central theme of the first volume; his revenge and its consequences are the main theme of the second volume. Therefore, his minds change from love, hatred, revengeto the revival of human nature, is not only the essence of the novel, but also the theme throughout the whole novel. The author layouts and arranges the changed scene unpredictably according to this theme, sometimes full of dark clouds, wail like ghosts and howl like wolves in the wilderness, and sometimes like the storms blow hard, or in a dark courtyard. The tragic love story is always surrounded in a mysterious and terrible atmosphere.1.3The structure of this paperWuthering Heights is the most unusual novel in the history of English Literature.By describing Catherine and Heathcliff's love; it shows the variation of deformity society, and the distorted humanistic. This article analyzes the book from the reasons of the tradgic love Catherine and Heathcliff. The first chapter is introduction; it gives a brief introduction on Emily Bronte and the Wuthering Heights. The second chapter is literature review, in this part it introduces thestudies of this novel on the oversea and domestic .The third chapter is the external reasons for the tragedy. The fourth is the internal reasons for the tragedy. The last, chapter five, is the conclusion of this paper.2. Literature ReviewToday considered as a classic of English literature, Wuthering Heights was met with mixed reviews when it first appeared, mainly because of mental and physical cruelty of the narrative's stark depiction. Although Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre was generally considered the best of the Bront? sisters' works during most of the nineteenth century, many subsequent critics of Wuthering Heights argued that it was a superior achievement.The novel has been studied, analyzed, and discussed fromevery imaginable critical perspective and from every aspect, yet it remains unexhausted. Most of them are focused on the character of the hero or the complicated love between the characters. Catherine, the heroine of the Wuthering Heights, is a typical tragic role in Western literature. Caterine’s emotional has different changes with different environment.(Chen le,2007).Heathcliff, in Wuthering Heights, is the real dramatic center of the story. Heathcliff is a coalescence of several characters and elements, one is the concept of a man whose mind of hatred is pitiless and ruthless, and another is of a man whose desire for revenge degenerates into avarice (Davy Cecil, 1934). There are man y factors to deal with Heathcliff’s distortion; many of the previous studies attempt to explore the reasons for Heathcliff’s tragedies. In aboard, t hey are respectively Davy. L. Robert’s analysis based on prototype theory, Davy Cecil’s analysis based on b ackgrounds theory and James. C. Janet’s analysis based on love theory.2.1 Review on the oversea studiesAccording to Davy L Robert(1985),The Prototype of Heathcliff suggests the sensational revenge and tragic characters. He addressed in his The Prototype of Heathcliff that Emily Bronte created the name “Heathcliff” to tell the readers the man’s temperament in a metaphorical way. Davy L Robert argues that the figure of Heathcliff created by Bronte stands for evil and revenge, and he also thinks that Heathcl iff’s prototype would be the devil from hell. According to James C Janet’s (2009) On Bronte’s Wuthering Heights,the relationship determines Heathcliff and Catherine’s love. Their love is thus formed in the rebellion against those social forces, families and classes, which restrict the ideals. Catherine’s choice of love, her choicefondness of wealth, position and social distinction in other words, are the primary reasons for forming Heathcliff’s tragic characters (James C. Janet, 2009). According to Davy Cecil the backgrounds deal a lot with Heathcliff’s distortion. Davy Cecil believes that the change of class state and life experience con tribute a lot to form Heathcliff’s distortion.2.2 Review on the domestic studiesIn China, many scholars combine characteristics and the fate of life experience of character types in Wuthering Heights with author’s personality and characteristic, such as Tang Zheng(2009) believed that, to a certain extent, Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights is just the author’s true portraitu re. In recent years, there are many scholars wrote many articles to discuss the hero Heathcliff. Zhao Yunmei(2009) wrote: Heathcliff’s wild and intractable personality, his stronglove, lonely character and the violent perverse revenge figure, reflect the characteristics of Byron effect. After the rise in symbolism, many scholars also do research in this aspect, such as the Wang Zhe(2011) thought, Emily in her" the one and only " novel used a large number of symbolic description, through images shaping, turns out the understanding to the deep and mystical philosophy of life.3. The External Reasons for the Tragedy3.1 The class barrier reasons for the tragedyIn England, the 18th Century, is an age of the bourgeoisie. The old aristocratic class was fast losing its power politically and economically to the rising urban middle class or bourgeoisie who worked hard, economized and accumulated great wealth and became the mainstream of the nation; the social and economic values were changing and land ownership did not always theman make, it is a world of patriarchal values. Along with the emergence of this "industrial revolution" came a class- conscious society. The new London would benefit the wealthy and the middle class but exploit and oppress the working and poor classes. The social changes taking place in England between 1801 and1847 provides context for an appreciation of Wuthering Heights. As industrialization spread, a growing middle class challenged the position of landed gentry. The Earnshaws and Heathclif f represent this moment. Heathcliff’s rise from an orphaned urchin to landholder in Wuthering Heights is a paradigm for the origins of capitalism within society.Heathcliff was a fatherless child when he was brought into Catherine’s family. He has some wil dness and strength in his bones. Belonging to a lower class, he tries to get his rights by opposing the upper class. He must do what he wants to do and follows his nature but does not care about others’ attitude. His action shows his capricious and resistant character. The influence of Heathcliff and Edgar leads to Catherine’s complex personality---strength, brawniness, a little wildness, dignity and vanity. At the beginning, due to Heathcliff’s influence, Catherine keeps her strength and brawniness.Catherine is very ambivalent in her love .Due to human nature, she loves Heathcliff deeply with childlike passion, and he r soul can’t live without him. But the social culture made her betray the love in order to satisfy her yearning for fame and wealth. She chooses Linton; hereby her love becomes a tragedy. Catherine learns dignity and vanity through contacting with Edgar. Edgar who is proud of his social status is a well-educated gentleman, so his action follows traditional manners. Besides, he is proud of his social status. She wants to marry Edgar to satisfyher vanity, so she is nearer to the social class to which Edgar belongs. In brief, Heathcliff makes Catherine keep her nature, while Edgar guides her into true middle class.Catherine’s utilitarian treatme nt of marriage is entirely caused by the social environment. The world was full of patriarchal values. Women's status was unequal in politics and economics. Their values can only be reflected in their marriage. As to Catherine, she does not overcome her vanity and weakness. The love can not escape from the times. They ruined their best things in this era. Because of this, their love must be a tragic love.In 19th century of England, economy, society, and politics had a great change. At that time, the prosperity of the middle and upper classes and the wrenched condition of the poor differed greatly. People of the underclass hardly had right in law, and destined to be abused by upper classes. Undoubtedly, cruel social environment and fierce class origin are regarded as root for their tragic love. Heathcliff is on behalf of these poor ones. He begins his life as a foundling boyadopted by Mr.Earnshaw. Uncared for and unloved, he lives in a hostile and frightening world in himself, which is caused by the real society. Heathcilff owned almost the love of Mr. Earnshaw, but he is badly treated by young Hindley, whose behaviors even make him distorted humanity. It is the injury inflicted on him during his childhood results in the tragedy later. Even when coming back y ears after Catherine’s marriage with great possessions, Heathcliff does not belong to the upper class because of his poor origin. That is to say, for a person from the lower, no matter how rich one is now, he is always what he is. The discrimination from others make they lose whatever they are longing for, including love, and dignity. The only thing left is toretaliate the world to balance the pain of the loss. More pains, more retaliations. It is natural for the appearance of distortions. In a word, such distortions come from the social reality and Heathcliff is a representative of the effects of cruelty, deprivation and alienation that are the products of civilization.3.2 Educational reasons for the tragedy3.2.1The family education for Heathcliff and CatherineHeathcliff's character determines his tragedy; however the formation of character is inseparable from the growth process of family education. He is a foundling boy; adopted by Mr. Earnshaw His arrival does not get the love and the warmth of family. Mr. Earnshaw’s son Hindley treats Heathcliff badly. After Mr. Earnshaw’s dead, Heathcliff is treated as a servant. He is deprived of dignity, and not educated. At last his only sustenance, Catherine also away marries Linton. He suffers from serious injuries. After that, he made the terrorist revenge for everyone include their descendants.Catherine has a superior family; all the family pampers her, so she has a little capricious. When she was young Mrs. Earnshaw was dead, her father is always busy on the business no time to train and educate her. After Mr. Earnshaw’s death, Heathcliff is misused by Hindley Catherine also be affected. She can not get education, she become a wild child.She wrestles with the self-willed and rational, dead with painful.3.2.2 Education conducted by the European Upper classIn the early 19th Century, when UK was a classic patriarchy society with a strong sense of hierarchy and class contradiction, divided human into several levels. Their working people not only were exploited and oppressed by the corrupt landed aristocracy, but also ruled by the emerging bourgeois nobles. Meanwhilewomen and proletariats were oppressed too, whose personal rights had been deprived. Too much education would "ruin" girls, making them unfit for marriage and motherhood. Consequently, most middle and upper middle class girls were taught little beyond basic reading and writing, and instead were trained in "accomplishments," such as music, drawing, and dancing, to better attract eligible suitors. As far as they were concerned, marriage was the best home they turned to, on which their all success or failure depended. Adiscussion of whether or not a man was really a gentleman would consider such questions as how much land he owned, how many tenants and servants he had, how he spoke, whether he kept horses and a carriage, and whether his money came from land or “trade”—gentlemen scorned banking and commercial activities.Charlotte Bronte in her preface to the 1850 edition of Wuthering Heights, refers to Edgar as "an example of constancy and tenderness and goes on to suggest that her sister Emily was using Edgar to point out that such characteristics constitute true virtues in all human beings, and not just in women, as society tended to believe. At the top of British society was the royalty, followed by the aristocracy, then by the gentry, and then by the lower classes, who made up the vast majority of the population. The social status of aristocrats was a formal and settled matter, because aristocrats had official titles. A discussion of whether or not a man was really a gentleman would consider such questions as how much land he owned, how many tenants and servants he had, how he spoke, whether he kept horses and a carriage, and whether his money came from land or "trade"—gentlemen scorned banking and commercial activities. Considerations ofclass status often crucially inform the characters' motivations in Wuthering Heights. Catherine's decision to marry Edgar so that she will be "the greatest woman of the neighborhood" is only the most obvious example. The Lintons are relatively firm in their gentry’s status but nonetheless take great pains to prove this status through their behaviors. The shifting nature of social status is demonstrated most strikingly in Heathcliff's trajectory from homeless waif to young gentleman-by-adoption to common laborer to gentleman again (although the status-conscious Lockwood remarks that Heathcliff is only a gentleman in "dress and manners").4. The Internal Reasons for the Tragic Love4.1 Catherine’s own reasons4.1.1 Catherine’s growing environmentCatherine’s change is mainly from her values during the different environment between Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange.Cath erine’s natural environment is stabbed as “wild child”. In her narrow world, Heathcliff isher only stabbed playmates and spirit. Her stay at the grange has brought about changes for her that affect the course of the lives Heathcliff and her own, both present and future. She has awared of the social difference between Heathcliff and herself. She has looked and acted as a lady after she returns to Wuthering Heights. She laughs at Heathcliff's unkempt appearance. When the Lintons visit Catherine the next day, Heathcliff dresses up himself to impress her. It fails when Edgar, one of the Linton children, argues with him. Heathcliff is locked in the attic, where Catherine later tries to comfort him. Unfortunately she could never marry Heathcliff because of his lack of status andeducation. She therefore plans to marry Edgar who is a cultured gentleman with enough wealth to make herself as the greatness woman of the neighborhood. In fact, Catherine is totally absorbed in the new way of life and values as her spirit and nature belong to upper-class. Heathcliff has overheard the first part about not being able to marry him and runs away, disappearing without a trace. After three years, Edgar and Catherine are married.4.1.2 Catherine’s dual personalitiesCatherine’s character is filled with contradictions. On one hand, she is pure and free; on the other hand, she is selfish and vanity, which cause her into a dilemma since Edgar proposed her, and makes her mind collapse at last and she dies in childbirth.In the childhood, Catherine has the spirit of revolting, she always reacts against her father and her brother. During the process, she falls in love with Heathcliff. And she can bear all the punishment from her brother, except the separation from Heathcliff. "Without Heathcliff", she says, "the universe would turn to a mighty stranger". (Emily Bronte, 2005)As she grows up, Catherine hates the meaningless freedom. She seems to become another person after back home from Thorncross Grange. Catherin’s alternative could be easily found in many aspects: the changes of her manners, dress and social attitudes. Her dress is suitable in the Grange rather than in the Heights and she has become used to a life that is centered on the inside of houses and she can do no work. She has accustomed to such a style of living: others work for her, produce for her and satisfy her needs. She is attracted by the “cultural life” in the Lintons, and she starts to long for it.Catherine has thrown herself into a dilemma since EdgarLinton proposed her. She is eager for the honorable life in Thorncross Grange, where she can become a rich and great woman, but she also loves Heathcliff with her soul, just like she said to Nelly "My love for Edgar 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"(Emily Bronte, 2005)The duality of Catherine's character revealed a crisis point with her marriage to Edgar - the one event in the novel above all others which determine the futures of the central characters. Catherine's marriage to him is a betrayal of her nature. Not only has she broken with her kindredspirit, Heathcliff, but she has physically removed herself from the wildness and freedom from the Heights. Catherine's marriage to Edgar and her rejection of Heathcliff is a rejection of herself. This choice made by Catherine favored wealth, civilization and social position over her natural affinity with the untamed, uncivilized world represented by Heathcliff.Catherine’s dual characters cause her tragedy, which has aroused the readers’ sympathy. As she lies dying, she says,“I wish I were girl again, half savage and hardy, and free, and laughing at injuries, not maddening under them! Why am I so changed?”(Emily Bronte,2005) she regrets her choice but now she has to face it and gives up her life at last.4.1.3Catherine’s betrayalWhen Catherine is a little girl, she is pure and free, she loves Heathcliff without minding his identity, and she falls in love with Heathcliff and bears all the punishment from her brother. But when she encounters Edgar, she realizes that from him she canget more respects and she would be the greatness woman of the neighborhood. She knows that she would never marry Healthcliff. In her heart, she still loves Heathcliff but she is totally absorbed in the new way of life and values as her spirit and nature belong to upper-class. Compared with Heathcliff, Linton is young, handsome, rich and in love with her. The most important is Linton can make her become the most respected woman. Catherine is a faithful partner of Heathcliff, they develop the true love in common resistance. However, Catherine finally betrays Heathcliff.Catherine’s betrayal of Heathcliff is the distortion of her personality and self-betrayal.The relationship determines the nature of their love. Their demand for love is conveyed in the process of their struggle for individual fulfillment and humanity.Catherine shows her passionate love for Heathliff and inseparability of them. But the nature of love should be explored within a context, because the novel shows love is based on mutual bullion and mutual aspirations. Catherine eventually betrays Heathcliff and becomes the mistress of Thrush cross Grange.Seduction by the glamour of the Grange is the beginning of Catherine’s change and distortion.Because Catherine is kind, she loves Heathcliff by the mercy. Because of her vanity, selfish and arrogant, she had betrayed her love to marry Edgar. Eventually Catherine becomes all the fuses of the tragedy. Catherine has been living in the pain of contradiction, her efforts herself to become an upper-class lady. She chooses to marry Linton, the real gentleman, although she still loves healthcliff. After the marriage, Catherine is still not out of pain, and contradictions until her death. Because her betrayal, a direct result of the tragic misfortune of her life, because her death, Heathcliff makes all the crazy revenge.So Catherine’s betrayal is the beginni ng of his own personal hell; for Heathcliff,Catherine’s betrayal is the turning point of his life; For Heathcliff, Catherine’s b etrayal leads him to cruel punishment or treatment to anyone who has relationship with Catherine or anyone he hates.4.2Heathcl iff’s own reasons4.2.1 Heathcliff’s growing environmentYoung Heathcliff’s childhood is full of both half-happiness and half-sadness, and it formats his life experience and social status and distorts his nature at the same time.A homeless gypsy boy named “Heathcliff” was abandoned by his parents after he was born, and this has a huge influence on his unreasonable disposition. Later he was adopted by Mr. Earnshaw. He is treated well by Mr. Earnshaw, and from Mr. Earnshaw, Heathcliff learns the kindness. The children of the Earnshaw family are the teenaged Hindley and his younger sister, Catherine. Hindley finds himself robbed of his father's affections and becomes bitterly jealous of Heathcliff. However, Catherine grows much attached to him. After Mr. Earnshaw dies, Hindley becomes master of Wuthering Heights, and forces Heathcliff to become a servant instead of a member of the family and exterts tyranny on Heathcliff. Despite the abuse of Hindley, Heathcliff still endure and tolerate on the support of Cathe rine’s love until they meet the Lintons . The seed of hatred has planted in his heart gradually. So his character is formed in this discrimination and betrayal of Catherine, both kindness and cruelty during his teenage time.4.2.2 Heathcliff’s extreme pers onalitiesHeathcliff is an orphan taken to Wuthering Heights by Mr. Earnshaw and reluctantly cared for by the rest of the family. Heand Catherine later grow close, and their love becomes the central theme of the first volume; his revenge and its consequences are the main theme of the second volume. So his extreme character is love and hatred.At first, Heathcliff is a pure and kind boy. When Mr. Earnshaw died, Heathcliff was very sad and made a heart-breaking cry. From this we can see his natural kindness character. He also has a strong love in his heart. It is the love that is natural and pure. He loves Catherine so much and faithfully and long-lasting. Only when he learned that Catherine was engaged with Edgar Linton, he left Wuthering Heights with angry, before this happened, he never thought that he would leave here for any reason, even when Hindley treated his badly. That’s because of his love for Catherine that gave him the hope. After three years, when he returned to Wuthering Heights, he still loves Catherine. Only having Catherine’s love, he can own the happiness.Heathcliff’s death for love expresses his everlasting love for Catherine, and the resurgence of his human nature.Due to the unfair life, misery experience and the betrayal love of Catherine, he becomes cruel, selfish and fierce. He deprived Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange step by step. He also hurts the young generation, making Cathy marry to his sick son. For revenge, Heathcliff‘s heart is distorted, of course, we admit that his revenge on people who had hurt his is successful. But his revenge is pointless; he spent all his life on revenge and at last, he lives lonely and is empty in spirit. He finally dies and achieves the reunion with Catherine.Healthcliff himself is contradicting. On one hand, he is kind and pure in nature; on the other hand, he becomes cruel when he returns to Wuthering Heights and take revenge on people。

除了作品外,也希望可以让当代的我们更好的了解当时资本主义制度下人们对自由权利的追求和《呼啸山庄》所带来的影响。

《呼啸山庄》的悲剧色彩解读

《呼啸山庄》的悲剧色彩解读《呼啸山庄》是英国著名小说家艾米丽所创作的一本爱情小说,是以主人公希斯克里夫与凯瑟琳的爱情为主线的叙事型小说,被认为是艾米丽的代表作。

《呼啸山庄》也被称之为英国历史上最奇特的小说,不仅深刻反映了当时英国社会所存在的各种社会问题,同时整体情节设置也较为惊心动魄,在阅读过程中会给人们带来一种别样的体验。

但是,《呼啸山庄》的结局是一个悲剧,同时整个故事的悲剧色彩也极为鲜明。

本文重点对《呼啸山庄》的悲剧色彩进行研究。

一、《呼啸山庄》悲剧色彩的来源解读任何文学都是以作者的亲身经验与情感为依据所进行的创作,因而对《呼啸山庄》的悲剧色彩进行解读,并对其作者艾米丽的生活经验进行研究,可以发现艾米丽的悲剧情感是塑造《呼啸山庄》悲剧色彩的重要源泉。

艾米丽的父亲是爱尔兰人,在爱尔兰解放之初,作为农民的他在经济方面极为拮据,直到35岁时才遇到艾米丽的母亲并与她结婚。

艾米丽的父母在结婚之后为了生计决定举家搬往英国,最终在英国北部一个偏僻的小村庄落脚。

但他们在搬到英国之后未能有效改变自身的生活境遇,同时先后又有六个孩子出生,整个家庭的经济负担也来越重,艾米丽的母亲与姐姐都因为贫困交加而先后去世。

作为家中第五个孩子的艾米丽自小就需要参加劳动生产与做家务,同时她也未能进入学校接受教育,只能在业余时间自学。

尽管如此,艾米丽依然坚持不懈地与命运展开顽强地斗争,利用有限的教育资源进行学习,同时也充分发挥了自身的想象,先后尝试通过诗歌、小说来表达自身的情感。

在此过程中,艾米丽的祖父对她产生了深远的影响,他在年轻时候曾经游历过很多地方,在艾米丽小的时候他经常为她讲故事,给她留下了深刻的印象,同时也对她的创作产生了深远影响。

艾米丽的祖父由于长期生活在社会底层,他所讲述的故事往往也带有一定的悲剧色彩。

加之艾米丽自小就受到贫困生活的磨难,在长期的生活中逐渐形成了一种悲剧式的思维模式,在进行《呼啸山庄》的创作时艾米丽甚至不自觉地加入了个人的情感,从而为小说注入了更鲜活的悲剧色彩。

绝望的存在《呼啸山庄》爱情悲剧的原因探析


在爱情悲剧主题方面,《荆棘鸟》和《呼啸山庄》有着异曲同工之妙。两部 小说中的爱情都充满了压抑与无奈,主人公们都在追求着不可实现的爱情。梅吉 与拉尔夫、希斯克利夫与凯瑟琳,他们的爱情都像是一场无声的战争,既没有胜 利的喜悦,也没有失败的绝望,只有无尽的痛苦与挣扎。
具体情节方面,《荆棘鸟》中,梅吉与拉尔夫的爱情从一开始就注定是一场 悲剧。拉尔夫对梅吉有着深深的情感,但出于对教义的忠诚和对家族的责任感, 他无法与梅吉厮守一生。而梅吉,她对拉尔夫的爱从始至终都没有改变过,即便 面对丈夫的背叛和儿子的死亡,她依然坚持着这份爱情。在《呼啸山庄》中,希 斯克利夫和凯瑟琳的爱情也是一场无尽的折磨。
最后,家庭观念也是《呼啸山庄》中爱情悲剧的一个重要因素。在小说中, 家庭观念对个人的影响非常深刻。希斯克利夫在外出致富之后,为了报复凯瑟琳 的背叛和林顿家族的压迫,不惜牺牲自己的家庭和后代。而凯瑟琳和伊莎贝拉则 因为家庭利益而被迫放弃了爱情。这种家庭观念的束缚,使得他们无法自由地追 求自己的幸福。
然而,在复仇的过程中,希斯克利夫也失去了他的人性和爱,最终导致他的 死亡。这种自我毁灭的过程也是解构主义所强调的主题之一,即揭示了结构和规 则的内在矛盾。
德里达解构主义视角下的《呼啸山庄》主题还到小说中存在的权力关系。希 斯克利夫从一个弃儿变成了一个富有的人,他在整个过程中所获得的权力和地位 使他有足够的能力去实现他的报复计划。他在表面上是一个弱者,但他的精神和 毅力却使他变得强大。这种权力关系的转变也是解构主义所的一个重要方面。

浅析《呼啸山庄》中希斯克利夫的悲剧人生

浅析《呼啸山庄》中希斯克利夫的悲剧人生摘要:英国女作家艾米莉·勃朗特的《呼啸山庄》塑造了被畸形社会扭曲了人性的希斯克利夫主人公形象。

在深刻分析原作的基础上,揭示了希斯克利夫的悲剧人生既是社会的悲剧又是爱情的悲剧,更是个人性格的悲剧。

关键词:社会爱情性格悲剧艾米莉·勃朗特唯一的小说《呼啸山庄》一直被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。

同时,该小说也是一部备受争议的作品,评论界从未停止过对这部作品的关注。

小说中的主人公希斯克利夫那奔腾呼啸的激情,鲜明强悍的爱恨意识以及残酷无情的报复手段深深地吸引着读者,他也成为英国小说史上最为复杂的人物之一,可谓“集人性与兽性于一身”。

希斯克利夫的人生悲剧是内外因共同作用的结果,即当时的社会阶级压迫,爱情的背叛以及个人性格共同塑造了这样一个复杂矛盾的形象。

(一)社会的压迫《呼啸山庄》讲述的是在英国北方约克郡荒原上两个山庄(呼啸山庄和画眉山庄)里两代人之间的复杂情感纠葛。

在维多利亚时代,财富的分配始终不均,贫富分化非常严重。

人们的生活水平成两极分化,一个社会中存在着天堂与地狱的鸿沟。

于是人们对金钱的追求与膜拜达到了磨灭人性的程度,希斯克利夫正是这样一个被资本主义社会扭曲的灵魂。

他是被呼啸山庄的老主人恩肖先生从利物浦大街上捡回来的一个无名无姓的流浪儿,而他黝黑的肤色使得确认他的民族都相当困难。

这样一个地位低下,身无分文的孩子一到呼啸山庄,就激起了绝大多数人的反对和歧视,他的苦难生活由此开始。

社会地位低下的希斯克利夫在那个时代是注定与幸福无缘的。

到了呼啸山庄之后,希斯克利夫开始就没有受到呼啸山庄众人的欢迎,而恩肖先生对他的疼爱又引起恩肖先生儿子辛德莱对他产生仇恨的敌视心理,因为辛德莱痛恨他夺走了自己父亲和妹妹的爱。

呼啸山庄名著的悲剧内核是什么

呼啸山庄名著的悲剧内核是什么《呼啸山庄》是英国女作家艾米莉·勃朗特的经典之作,这部作品以其深刻的情感、复杂的人物关系和强烈的悲剧色彩而著称。

那么,其悲剧内核究竟是什么呢?首先,社会阶级的差距与束缚是酿成悲剧的重要因素之一。

故事中的希斯克利夫是一个被恩肖先生收养的吉普赛弃儿,他在呼啸山庄中处于社会底层,饱受歧视和压迫。

而凯瑟琳作为恩肖家的小姐,尽管与希斯克利夫相爱,却在面对社会的压力和自身对地位、财富的渴望时,选择了嫁给画眉田庄的林顿先生。

这种社会阶级的差异使得他们的爱情无法自由发展,最终走向悲剧。

希斯克利夫因为社会地位的低下,无法获得与凯瑟琳平等的爱情权利,而凯瑟琳也因为无法摆脱社会对于阶级和婚姻的固有观念,背叛了自己的真心。

这种社会现实的残酷束缚,让他们的爱情在萌芽之初就注定了要遭受重重磨难。

其次,人性的扭曲与复仇是悲剧的主要推动力。

希斯克利夫在遭受爱情的背叛和社会的不公后,性格变得扭曲和极端。

他心中充满了仇恨,发誓要对所有伤害过他的人进行报复。

他通过阴谋和残忍的手段,夺取了画眉田庄的财产,并让林顿和凯瑟琳的后代都陷入了痛苦之中。

他的复仇行为不仅伤害了别人,也让自己的灵魂深陷黑暗,永远无法得到解脱。

在复仇的过程中,他失去了自我,变成了一个被仇恨驱使的魔鬼。

然而,当他的复仇计划一一实现时,他并没有获得真正的快乐和满足,反而陷入了更深的痛苦和孤独。

这表明,复仇并不能治愈内心的伤痛,反而会让人陷入无尽的悲剧之中。

再者,爱情的复杂与矛盾也是这部作品悲剧内核的关键所在。

凯瑟琳对希斯克利夫的爱是深沉而热烈的,但她同时也渴望过上富裕、体面的生活。

这种内心的矛盾让她在爱情和现实之间摇摆不定,最终做出了错误的选择。

她以为嫁给林顿可以满足自己的物质需求和社会地位,但却忽略了自己内心真正的情感需求。

而希斯克利夫对凯瑟琳的爱则是纯粹而执着的,他无法接受凯瑟琳的背叛,这种强烈的爱转化为了无尽的恨。

他们之间的爱情充满了误解、挣扎和痛苦,最终以凯瑟琳的早逝和希斯克利夫的孤独终老而告终。

浅析《呼啸山庄》最后酿成悲剧的原因获奖科研报告
摘要:《呼啸山庄》以19世纪英国社会动荡为背景,讲述了希斯克利夫与凯瑟琳凄美的浪漫爱情故事及希斯克利夫的复仇故事。

希斯克利夫在爱与恨的情感交织之中一步一步走向极端,呼啸山庄在希斯克利夫的极端冷酷的统治之下变得十分凄凉和冷漠,无论是环境还是人性都如此,但是仇恨之际,却迎来了人性复苏,哈顿和小凯瑟琳的爱情感化了希斯克利夫,让他在冰冷的性情中看到了一丝希望和人性的善良,即使在冰冷的夜晚,也阻挡不了人性善良的再次觉醒。

关键词:《呼啸山庄》婚姻爱恨性格
一、《呼啸山庄》创作的时代背景
《呼啸山庄》创作于19世纪早期,政治上,正是资本主义兴起、封建时代没落的转型时期,英国此时资本主义占主导地位,第一次工业革命浪潮给英国带来了无尽的财富。

工厂代替工场,生产力远超过人工生产。

机器时代的到来,英国从此成了“世界工厂”。

艾米利·勃朗特生活的时代正是如此,从小生活环境塑造了她狂放的浪漫性格,漫步在一望无际的旷野无拘无束地生活,向往着自由的快乐,牧师家庭的贫困锻炼了她刚强的性格,不爱世俗和困难环境的拘泥,敢于冲破禁锢的牢笼,作者艾米莉·勃朗特的性格在希斯克里夫和艾瑟琳及小哈顿和小凯希的性格上体现得淋漓尽致。

一部作品就是一位作者内心的真实体现,通过字里行间流露的真实情感,将内心隐晦地表达出来,《呼啸山庄》就是另一个艾米莉·勃朗特。

二、故事主人翁希斯克里夫的性格
希斯克利夫是一个具有双重性格的魔鬼,冷漠残酷给他包了一层冰冷的外表,让人难以靠近接触。

从小生活环境造就了他的性格,由于与凯瑟琳性格相近、兴趣爱好相同,很快成了亲密无间的玩伴和情侣。

由于哈顿老爷的去世,受到欣得利排挤远走呼啸山庄,三年后回来发现凯瑟琳已为人妻,这给他深深一击。

凯瑟琳去世后,希斯克利夫更是伤痛欲绝,恨与报复从天而降,如同一场蓄谋已久的战争在呼啸山庄和画眉山庄掀起而至。

为了报复埃德加,迎娶伊莎蓓拉,随之又无情抛弃。

为了报复欣得利·恩肖,把小哈顿训练成魔鬼般的人物,
更是把自己的儿子与小凯瑟琳强行撮合在一起,夺得画眉山庄财产。

种种报复手段可谓目不暇击,让人心痛悲伤,可见希斯克利夫被仇恨控制左右,如同地狱的魔鬼对人类施展酷刑,但是希望在人间,希斯克利夫被小凯瑟琳和哈顿的爱情所折服,被仇恨埋没的善良终究还是挣脱出来,拯救了自己,带着对凯瑟琳的爱情离开了人世。

因爱生恨,造就了他双重魔鬼般的性格,但内心的善良本性最终还是给他带来了解脱。

尽管结局带来了光芒,但是希斯克里夫的死还是让人如此痛心。

悲剧最终以他的死而结局或许对于山庄的人来说是希望的来临,对于希斯克里夫来说是一种解脱,但是以死抵世何尝不是另一种悲剧?
三、文章所涉及的象征意义
在文章的开头,提到“希斯克利夫先生的住宅叫呼啸山庄,呼啸在当地人口中是一个意味深长的形容词,用它的名字是为了描绘当狂风肆虐、暴雨倾盆时,这所庄园周围到处喧嚣杂乱的情景”。

如此形容呼啸山庄名字的由来,意在为整篇文章做一个恰当的描述,给整篇文章及故事情节发展一个清晰的定位。

象征着在希斯克利夫的统治之下,呼啸山庄由之前的繁荣之景变成了冷漠并冰冷的邪恶之城。

在这个冰冷、无人性、无关爱的山庄中,生活在那里的人如同“呼啸山庄”的象征意义一样,冷酷无情。

文章多次描写《呼啸山庄》的树木,弯曲,不挺直,随着风吹的方向倾于一端,文章中凯瑟琳曾对小哈顿描述过“扭曲”。

事实上,这象征着哈顿的成长受到了希斯克利夫的严重摧残。

同样,小林顿、小凯瑟琳均是如此,“扭曲”意味着人性在强大的压力下得不到正常的发展。

“树的扭曲和人性的扭曲相对应,产生了电影手法中叠影的效果。

发育不良、枝干被扭曲的树成为贯穿全书的富有象征性的一个意象”①。

《呼啸山庄》是作者艾米莉·勃朗宁生活情景的深刻体现。

山庄周围一望无际的山峰和旷野沼泽均是艾米莉生活的地方。

希斯夫和凯瑟琳及小凯西的游玩都象征了作者的天性,不受拘束,绽放天性,翱翔于自己的旷野中。

四、感悟
呼啸山庄这一世纪的最大变化就是由爱生恨,希斯克里夫和凯瑟琳的爱情诠释了爱恨的极端,这也是作者艾米莉·勃朗特的狂放不羁
的浪漫主义风格的真实体现,通过两代人的恩怨为故事铺满了前奏,希斯克里夫和凯瑟琳的爱情是贯穿故事的主线,凯瑟琳的死是导火线,早先真挚的爱情因为凯瑟琳贪慕虚荣的性格而兵分两路,就此有缘无分,作者如此设计不仅表现出当时的世俗,更展现出了人性,就在希斯克里夫认为完美的爱情终于要收获甜美的果实时,却带来了仇恨的开始,爱的人没有一直等待而是嫁给了自己仇厌的人,无法接受的现实把希斯克里夫推向了谷底的深渊,变成了复仇的魔鬼。

就在一切都冰冷麻木的时候,希望带来了,人性开始复苏,善良还是冲破了仇意,展露出了光芒,所有故事都有结束的一刻。

凯西和哈顿的第二代爱情展现出十分动人的情景,感化了生活在仇恨中的希斯克里夫,让他再一次看到了爱人并随爱人而去。

这种极端的爱恨冲突终于以希斯克里夫的死结束,虽然山庄就此恢复平静脱离狂风的肆虐,但是希斯克里夫的死仍然给许多人带来惋惜,希望的降临却是以死亡作为沉痛的代价,何尝不是一种悲剧?既爱又恨、由爱生恨更是表现出人性的复杂。
