呼啸山庄英文读后感

In this summer, I read another book Wuthering Heights. Wuthering Heights is written by Emily Bronte. After reading that book, the love and the hatred between Catherine and Heath Cliff still linger in my head.

The story begun with a mistake that made by Lockwood, a temporary resident. He is seeking shelter from the blizzard he staggers through the door of Wuthering Heights, finding the atmosphere inside is just as cold as ice. The master of the house, Heath Cliff, provides a bed reluctantly and it seems like that he feels ill at ease with his visitor’s coming. There’s a sad tale behind his indifference, one which the elderly housekeeper Nelly Dean is happy to share.

Forty years ago, Wuthering Heights was filled with light, warmth and happiness. Mr.Earnshaw, a congenial gentleman farmer, lives happily with his boisterous children Cathy and Hindley. However, being a kind and generous fellow, he can’t help rescuing a poor starving wretch off of the streets of Liverpool, a gypsy child

named Heath Cliff. In time Heath Cliff becomes one of the family, loved by all people except Hindley，the son of Mr.Earnshaw . Cathy is an especially good childhood friend, spending many a happy day playing on the moor with Heath Cliff. Unfortunately Mr.Earnshaw dies suddenly; Hindley is able to express his enmity with damning cruelty. In order to air his grievance, he reduced Heath Cliff to a servant.

Later, Catherine is forced to marry Edgar. Heath Cliff’s heart is broken, so he leaves Wuthering Heights. After three years, he comes back to Wuthering Heights with wealth. Catherine has married Edgar, but not happiness. Heath Cliff begins to revenge crazily. He takes away Hindley’s belongings by gambling. Then, Hindley gets drunk and die, his son Hareton became slaves. Heath Cliff also marries Edgar’s sister Isabella deliberately and persecute her in all the ways. Catherine is miserable inside and then dies of dystocia. Ten years later, Heath Cliff makes Edgar’ daughter Catherine marry to his dying son Linton. Edgar and small Linton dies, Heath Cliff owes Edgar’s property finally. Heath Cliff revenges successfully, but he couldn’t stop missing the dead Catherine, and then he dies. Small Catherine and Hareton inherit

all

the property and they finally fall in love with each other.

Actually, there isn’t such a character that I really like in Wuthering Heights. Every character seems teemed with agony and animosity, especially Heath Cliff. Heath Cliff is an orphan before Mr. Earnshaw adopts him, and in the novel, Mr. Earnshaw treats Heath Cliff even nicer than his own son, Hindley Earnshaw. It’s quite amazing that in spite of Earnshaw’s nice treatment, Heath Cliff has no gratitude at all, he revenged Hindley and Catherine, even their heirs. After reading Heath Cliff’s story, my feeling is complicated, although he is the avenger who dominate the whole story by using his vengeful machinations, he is also the most pitiful guy in Wuthering Heights; he doesn’t know what is love and don’t know how to love. Heath Cliff has lived with the Earnshaws for more than 10 years, but there is no attachment between him and the whole family except Catherine. However, even Catherine was died because of Heath Cliff’s torture. When he is torturing others, he is also giving himself a suffering. Catherine, the heroine in the book, is described as a capricious and selfish girl. She is just like Heath Cliff, doesn’t know how
