Report on Wuthering Heights

Report on Wuthering Heights

I spent twenty days reading this book.

At first I will tell you the main plot about Wuthering Heights. The story is narrated by

Lockwood, a gentleman visiting the Yorkshire moors where the novel is set, and of Mrs. Dean,

housekeeper to the Earnshaw Family, who had been witness of the interlocked destinies of the

original owners of the Heights. Described the love and enmity between Earnshaw and Linton’s

family, especially Heathcliff and Catherine’s deeply love. Heathcliff is brought to Heights from the

streets of Liverpool by Mr. Earnshaw. Heathcliff is treated as Earnshaw’s own children, Catherine

and Hindley. Heathcliff is bullied by Hindley after Earnshaw death and his lover Catherine marries

Edgar Linton for many factors. This made Heathcliff mad, his destructive force is unleashed and his

first victim is his beloved, Catherine, who dies giving birth to a girl, another Catherine. Edgar’s

sister, whom he had married, flees to the south. Their son Linton and Kathy are married, but always

sickly Linton dies. After that, Hareton, Hindley’s son and the young widow fall in love.

Increasingly isolated and alienated from daily life, Heathcliff experiences visions, and he longs for

the death that will reunite him with Catherine.

Heathcliff is the story of suicide to end the purpose of revenge. His death is a kind of

sentimentalism, to express his undying love of life and death of Catherine, a type can not be with

the quilt, death is also seeking the pursuit of love with the hole. And he was dying in the next

generation who gave up the idea of revenge, that he could have been good nature, but because the

cruel nature of his reality distortion, forcing him to become ruthless tyranny. The recovery of

human nature is a spiritual sublimation of shine with the humanitarian ideals.

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 Earns haw family who once resided in the house known

as Wuthering Heights. It was once a cheerful place, but Old Earns haw 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 soul mate, 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 has been published in English literature in the history of people think that a

"most unusual novel," is a "secret and unpredictable" and "strange book." It is like a strange lyric, full of rich imagination between the lines and hurricane-like violent emotion, with the stirring

power of art. It is a stunning novel; frightening, inexorable, unsettling, filled with unbridled passion

that makes one cringe. Even if you do not like it, you should read it at least once--and those who do

like it will return to it again and again

From this book, we understand the deeply love and enmity. We find that the enmity always

touched by deeply love at the end of the story, true feelings and true love always moved everyone.

So we must treat others with true feelings.
