Published in 1847, WUTHERING HEIGHTS was not well received by the reading public, many of whom condemned it as sordid, vulgar, and unnatural–and author Emily Bronte went to her grave in 1848 believing that her only novel was a failure. It was not until 1850, when WUTHERING HEIGHTS received a second printing with an introduction by Emily’s sister Charlotte, that it attracted a wide readership. And from that point the reputation of the book has never looked back. Today it is widely recognized as one of the great novels of English literature.
Even so, WUTHERING HEIGHTS continues to divide readers. It is not a pretty love story; rather, it is swirling tale of largely unlikeable people caught up in obsessive love that turns to dark madness. It is cruel, violent, dark and brooding, and many people find it extremely unpleasant. And yet–it possesses a grandeur of language and design, a sense of tremendous pity and great loss that sets it apart from virtually every other novel written.
The novel is told in the form of an extended flashback. After a visit to his strange landlord, a newcomer to the area desires to know the history of the family–which he receives from Nelly Deans, a servant who introduces us to the Earnshaw family who once resided in the house known as Wuthering Heights. It was once a cheerful place, but Old Earnshaw adopted a “Gipsy” child who he named Heathcliff. And Catherine, daughter of the house, found in him the perfect companion: wild, rude, and as proud and cruel as she. But although Catherine loves him, even recognizes him as her soulmate, she cannot lower herself to marry so far below her social station. She instead marries another, and in so doing sets in motion an obsession that will destroy them all.
WUTHERING HEIGHTS is a bit difficult to “get into;” the opening chapters are so dark in their portrait of the end result of this obsessive love that they are somewhat off-putting. But they feed into the flow of the work in a remarkable way, setting the stage for one of the most remarkable structures in all of literature, a story that circles upon itself in a series of repetitions as it plays out across two generations. Catherine and Heathcliff are equally remarkable, both vicious and cruel, and yet never able to shed their impossible love no matter how brutally one may wound the other.
As the novel coils further into alcoholism, seduction, and one of the most elaborately imagined plans of revenge it gathers into a ghostly tone: Heathcliff, driven to madness by a woman who is not there but who seems reflected in every part of his world–dragging her corpse from the grave, hearing her calling to him from the moors, escalating his brutality not for the sake of brutality but so that her memory will never fade, so that she may never leave his mind until death itself. Yes, this is madness, insanity, and there is no peace this side of the grave or even beyond.
It is a stunning novel, frightening, inexorable, unsettling, filled with unbridled passion that makes one cringe.
Recently, I accidentally opened a book called Wuthering heights.
It tells the story of a mountain villa. Abandon baby hesclive grew up in the mountains, but because the beloved person to marry and go away from home. Three years later, hesclive reappeared and embarked on a series of revenge plans.
When I first read the book. The content is very attractive to me, but I still think the book is a bit ugly. Because it involves too much hatred. But vaguely, I still feel the beauty of it. Although I found it after a fine taste. This book, this book is very attractive to me. Its beauty is reflected in hescliffe s constant love, reflected in the beauty of Catherine s love and Catherine s life misfortune.
Hesclive, though so fierce in revenge, is also because of love. Because he didn t finish listening to that half. He thought that his lover had violated him, and his grief would never have been so.
Catherine is so unfortunate, and so lucky. Unfortunately, when she was born, her mother died of childbirth. Her mother, hersclive s lover. Catherine was forced to marry her cousin, the half-dead man, after she accidentally knocked down hesclive. Fortunately, she met hesclive adopted, his unwillingly uncle s children. Four years older than her cousin - hadong. She fell in love with hadong. Later, hescliffe also died of miss Catherine s mother - Katie. Katharine took back everything that belonged to her and married her cousin, bringing nelly, the old servant, back to thrush hill, never to Wuthering heights.
The book drew a satisfactory end to it.
The whole story make people’s mood heavy. Fortunately, the end is happy.
The author Emily Bronte lived an eccentric, closely guarded life. She was born in 1818, two years after Charlotte—the author of Jane Eyre and a year and a half before her sister Anne, who also became an author. Her father worked as a church rector, and her aunt, who raised the Bronte children after their mother died, was deeply religious. Emily Bronte did not take to her aunt’s Christian fervor, the character of Joseph, a caricature of an evangelical, may have been inspired by her aunt’s religiosity. The Brontes lived in Haworth, a Yorkshire village in the midst of the moors. These wild, desolate expanses—later the setting of Wuthering Heights—made up the Brontes daily environment, and Emily lived among them her entire life. She died in 1848, at the age of thirty.
I like this book because it rest on the unforgettable characters. Wuthering Heights is based partly on the Gothic tradition, a style of literature that featured supernatural encounters, crumbling ruins, moonless nights, and grotesque imagery, seeking to create effects of mystery and fear. I would like to recommend this book to other readers.
The book was written by Emily Bronte, it published in 1847.But at that time, it seemed to hold little promise, selling very poorly and receiving only a few mixed reviews. I found this in our school library, I chose this book because the title attracted me. The book is structured around two parallel love stories, the first half of the novel centering on the love between Catherine and Heathcliff, while the less dramatic second half features the developing love between young Catherine and Hareton. In contrast to the first, the latter tale ends happily, restoring peace and order to Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange. In the story, the two houses, Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange, represent opposing worlds and values.
I spent twenty days reading this book. After reading this book, I felt for Heathcliff at first. Heathcliff begins his life as a homeless orphan on the streets of Liverpool, and then he tyrannized by Hindley Earnshaw. But he bees a villain when he acquires power and returns to Wuthering Heights with money and the trappings of a gentleman. His malevolence proves so great and long-lasting. As he himself points out, his abuse of Isabella-his wife is purely sadistic, as he amuses himself by seeing how much abuse she can take and still e cringing back for more.
Catherine represents wild nature, in both her high, lively spirits and her occasional cruelty. She loves Heathcliff so intensely that she claims they are the same person. However, her actions are driven in part by her social ambitions, which initially are awakened during her first stay at the Lintons, and which eventually pel her to marry Edgar. Catherine is free-spirited, beautiful, spoiled, and often arrogant, she is given to fits of temper, and she is torn between her both of the men who love her. The location of her coffin symbolizes the conflict that tears apart her short life. She is buried in a corner of the Kirkyard. In contrast to Catherine, Isabella Linton-Catherine’s sister-in-law represents culture and civilization, both in her refinement and in her weakness. Ultimately, she ruins her life by falling in love with Heathcliff. He never returns her feelings and treats her as a meretool in his quest for revenge on the Linton family.
Just as Isabella Linton serves as Catherine’s foil, Edgar Linton serves as Heathcliff’s. Edgar grows into a tender, constant, but cowardly man. He is almost the ideal gentleman. However, this full assortment of gentlemanly characteristics, along with his civilized virtues, proves useless in Edgar’s clashes with his foil. He sees his wife obviously in love with another man but unable to do anything to rectify the situation. Heathcliff, who gains power over his wife, sister , and daughter.
The whole story make people’s mood heavy. Fortunately, the end is happy.

Book Review of Wuthering Heights Wuthering heights is a famous book written by Emily Bronte. Emily is one of the outstanding poets in 19th-century. In 1819, Emily Bronte was born in a poor priest family, her father Pater Rick Brandt is an Irish priest, and her mother gave birth to six children. The Bronte sisters, two daughters and a son. Because of the family backgrounds, Emily was borned to be independent, open-minded, pure, and introverted.
"Wuthering Heights" is one of the works of Emily Bronte, also is one of the masterpieces in the 19th century of British literature. This is a story of love and revenge. "Wuthering Heights" is written by the time span of thirty years, describes a complex emotional relationships of two generations between the Earnshaw family and Linton family.
The whole novel can be divided into four parts. The first phase describes the daily life of Heathcliff and Catherines childhood, their special affection is formed in this particular environment as well as their revolt against the tyrannical Hindley. The second phase focuses on the Catherine pursuit of the traditional of human love and betrayed Heathcliff and she became the mistress of thrush. She admitted to Donnelly that her love to Linton who is young, handsome man. He loves her as well as her wealth, let her to become the most distinguished woman. Catherine has said: "In my heart and soul, I clearly know I was wrong." Because she also loves Heathcliff. The third stage use a large pen and ink describing
that Heathcliff’s revenge. The last part of novel is the death of Heathcliff, but revealed a new change in the thinking experience - the recovery of humanity when he understood the love between Hareton and Catherine so we can see a bunch a hope in the tragic love story.
In the novel, all of the authors effort was to create the image of Heathcliff where she pinned all her indignation, compassion and ideals. This orphan has been deprived all of the warmth of human, Hendry’s hit let him tasted the cruel of life, also he knows that his gave up to life can not change the fate of their own humiliation. He chose to resist. Catherine had been his loyal partners. However, Catherine finally betrayed Heathcliff, married Edgar Linton. This is her own choice between the loves. At the end of the book, there are three tombs on the fields, the Linton tomb, the Heathcliff, the middle is Catherines tomb. Catherines betrayal of their marriage and miserable fate is the most significant turning point in the book. Catherine’s death is the objective of Heathcliff. His revenge not only let Hendry and Edgar died miserable, but also made the next generation to suffer the bitter pills. This crazy revenge is ueasonable but vividly expressed the hate and love. In the minds of women writers, love and hate is opposition but can be transformed into each other. Therefore, love and hate are opposite to each other, but also with each otheruniform.
Undeniable, Heathcliff and Catherine loved each others but they all lost themselves in the love relationships. Catherine married Linton because of vanity, Heathcliff thought that he had been betrayed and began to crazy avenges. Their love is the most wonderful part of the novel also the source of the tragic.
I want to use one sentence to conclude the whole novel, it could be that everyone made their wrong choice in a wrong time and eventually made the tragic life, everyone regretted in the end of their life and let the next generations to suffer. We all know that the ending can’t be revolted but we’d like to see that everyone has struggled for love and happiness.
Reading wuthering heights, I felt an unmarried woman can can write so deep love, hate such a profound novel, is amazing.
Wuthering heights have been popular in the city and control the influence of paint a completely original landscape of mountain wilderness. Enable people to enjoy a totally different world. Retains the original character of the book: desperate love, hate up regardless of the consequences. Everything in our these the restraint of traditional etiquette for a long time people it seems it is very special, very fresh.
When I finish the profound connotation and essence of the book, I find that in "wuthering heights" I learned a lot of, the other I feel most is that it has taught me to keep human dignity and freedom of mind. No matter how severe challenge we face or how cruel test, we should all aspire to freedom.
Wuthering heights begins with a stranger breaking into the heights and opening a story. The story goes through three stages: the rise of human nature, the fall of human nature, the recovery of human nature. This novel, with three people s love as the main body of horizontal and vertical development.
If the heroine follow their inner thoughts, and love each other s low status playmates, there will be no later tragedy, the heroine again rich elegant gentleman s pursuit, lost his eyes, in distress, each of the two men can t compare, feel should and only marry the gentleman s son, but she will still be unprovoked melancholy.
The last thought seemed to overwhelm her, and she decided to accept the proposal, and that night her playmate disappeared. After marriage life is very happy, he loved her, do everything possible to love to protect her, although she is in the heart, or always thinking about her playmates, want to know how he is now, but she can t find out why don t love her current husband. He is so good, this more than ten years may be the most peaceful and beautiful day in her life. It is a social novel, showing the conflict of two different ways of life, namely a more primitive, diffuse, free way of life and a modern level of speaking, the conflict of order of the way of life, so the novel is a complaint against modern civilization.
