Although in many readers‟ eye he is a marble demon, Heathcliff is in fact also a brave man fighting for love.In the society in which Heathcliff lives, equality and love only belong to men of wealth. This cruel reality really gives Heathcliff a heavy blow. He develops a plan to revenge people around him. The story of Heathcliff and Catherine is the core of the novel Wuthering Heights.The thesis consists of five chapters. The first chapter includes an introduction, a literature review and an outline of the thesis. The second chapter discusses the passionate love between Heathcliff and Catherine. By analyzing Catherine‟s change of love, the author uncovers the causes of Catherine‟s betra yal. Chapter Three focuses on Heathclif‟s revenge, expounding its brutality. The fourth chapter explores Heathcliff‟s return of humanity by examining Nelly‟s revelation and the younger generation‟s love. The last chapter is the conclusion of the thesis, b riefly summarizing the major findings achieved in the research.Heathcliff‟s rebellious personality is worthy of appreciation. He dares to challege the established order of the society. In this sense, he is a real hero. Everyone is a product of his time. Even if his personality is distorted in some reder‟s eye, it is the society that is to be held responsible. He is a true individualistic fighter rather than a crazy avenger.Key Words: Emily Bronte, Wuthering Heights, Heathcliff, revenge, fighterContents Acknowledgments (Ⅰ)Abstract (Ⅱ)摘要 (Ⅲ)Contents (Ⅳ)Chapter 1 Introduction (1)1.1Emily Bronte and her WutheringHeights (1)1.2Literature review (2)1.3 The structure of the thesis (4)Chapter 2 Heat hcliff and Catherine’s Love (5)2.1 Catherine‟s natural love for Heathcliff (5)2.2 Catherine‟s betrayal of her love (6)Chapter 3 Heathcliff’s Revenge (7)3.1 Heathcliff‟s two-fold personalities (7)3.2Heathcliff‟s Revenge on Hindley and Linton (7)3.2.1 His revenge on Hindley (7)3.2.2 His revenge on Linton (8)3.3 Roots of his revenge (8)Chapter 4 Rebirth of Heathcliff’s Natural Self (12)4.1 Nelly‟s revelation to Heathcliff (13)4.2 Heathcliff‟s return to humanity seen in the younger generation (14)Chapter 5 Conclusion (16)References (19)Introduction1.1Emily Bronte and her Wuthering HeightsEmily Bronte is a famous novelist and poet in the 19th century. She is considered as one of the greatest women writers in the history of English literature. She suffered a lot from social constraints and she was eager for a life of freedom and equality. Emily Bronte‟s novel is a reflection of her real life. Her mother died when she was only three. She had no friends and her father showed indifference to her, which gave rise to her timidity and sullenness in her childhood. She believed that to break away from all the difficulties she had to rely on their own struggle.Her living environment also exerted an influence on her creation. Her family lived in a big village of a western wasteland in Yorkshire. To Emily, this wasteland had a significant meaning. He liked those wastelands, the mountains, the streams and the strong winds, which all can be seen in her novel. Like her brothers and sisters, Emily became addicted to literature. She had a strong personality, which formed a stark contrast with Charlotte‟s mediocrity and Anna‟s elegance.1Charlotte commented on her sister like this:She has a unique personality. She is even stronger than men. She is more innocent than children. She has the spirit of perseverance. Her handstrembled, four limbs numb,eyes tired, but she still keeps working.2So we can say that the solitary and firm personality of the cahracters in her novel is also the embodiment of the author‟s own personality. Reading her poems can better help us understand the background of her novel. In her last novel, she writes like this: The cowardly soul does not belong to me.In this storm tremor of the earth there‟s no coward.I see Tenpuku is shining.出处These lines deepen our understanding of this novel. Wuthering Heights is the only novel by Emily Bronte, and it is also a controversial work. The work narrates a story of love and revenge. The story can be divided into four parts. The first part tells us the establishment of the two characters‟ re lationship and their resistance to Hindley.The second part describes Catherine‟s betrayal of Heathcliff. The third part focuses on the revenge of Heathcliff. The last part tells the change of Heathcliff and his eventual death. One day, Mr. Earnshaw brought back an orphan and named him Heathcliff. His favor of Heathcliff causes his own son Hindley‟s envy. After Mr. Earnshaw died, Hindley treated heathcliff as a slave. At the same time, Mr. Earnshaw‟s daughter Catherine fell in love with Heathcliff. However, later Catherine got to know Edgar who was polite and gentle. Allured by his high social status and richness, Catherine became estranged from Heathcliff and decided to marry Edgar. Therefore, Heathcliff left Wuthering Heights with hatred of Catherine. After three years, he became rich and came back. He decided to carry out a crazy revenge. He first chose Hindley‟s son to be his servant and then he married Edgar‟s sister Isabelle and treated her badly. Catherine also clearly recognized her husband Edgar‟s tr ue self and she died when she gave birth to a baby. Ten years later, Heathcliff forced Caterine‟s daughter to marry his son. With all his plans realized, he did not feel happy at all. Nevertheless, little Catherine and Harleton fell in love with each other, they inherited the property of Wuthering Heights. Since it was published, the novel has been commonly regarded as the strangest novel in the history of English literature. And a great many critics have attempted to make interpretations of Heathcliff, the major character in this novel.1.2 Literature reviewOf all the Bronte critics, Virginia Woolf is notably the most influential. Virginia Woolf (1925: 219), a famous English female writer, once said like this: When Charlotte wrote… …I love‟, …I hate‟. Her experience, though moreintense, is on a level with our own. But there is no …I‟ in WutheringHeights… Emily is inspired by some more general conception… She lookedout upon a world cleft into gigantic disorder and felt within her power to unitit i n a book …to say something through the mouths of her characters which isnot merely …I love‟ or …I hate‟.Woolf (1925) also points out that Wuthering Heights is more difficult than Jane Eyre because Emily is much greater than Charlotte. Her comment is justifiable. Unfortunately, even though we know much about about her sister Charllotte, we know only a little about Emily. Emily was much wiser than her sisters. She lived on porridge and milk; she could play the piano, do housework and help cooking. She liked dogs. She often took a walk in a desolate place. That‟s all we know about her.(G. F. Blyde, 1937: 23). Heathcliff‟s tragedy of life demonstrates Emily Bronte‟s understanding of the world. It also continues and developes the author‟s philosophy o f life (Ning Xia, 2005).Critics have studied this novel from different perspectives. Most of them focus on the analysis of Heathcliff‟s personality. In many reader‟s eye, this novel really followed the Victorian values and tastes. Emily‟s sister Charlo tte also complained about her gallery of lost and depraved souls and her inability to put her gifts to better use (Chang Yaoxiin, 2006). Her book was gradually accepted by people and became an enduring masterpiece.Wuthering Heights is considered as a strange book. Its peculiality exhibits itself in its theme and the characterization. When reading the book, every reader will be attracted by its unique atmosphere.Catherine‟s betrayal of love accelerates Heathcliff‟s plan of revenge. Graeme Tytler (2008) points out the dilemma of Heathcliff when choosing love and wealth. Gao Jihai (2008) also studies the struggle of Catherine between love and hatred. Chen Mei (2008) examines Catherine‟s hesitation between “spiritual love” and “secular love”. She is eager for both freedom and status.Heathcliff is also one of the tragic victims in this revenge. He is a victim of capitalist society. He is just rebelling against the bourgeois matrimonial system (Li Chenjing, 2011). He does not gain any satisfaction from his revenge (Liang Suwen, 2013).Li Chenjing points out that revenge looks as if it was all that the novel is about. However, the more important is the deep meaning of the revenge. Heathcliff‟s revenge is not to revenge only, actually it is one way to find his natural self (2011).The book really gives us a belief. We should speak aloud our love and hatred (Kettel, 1947). Zhang Xueyi and Li Fangmu (2009) analyze the revenge of Heathcliff. According to them, his revenge is associated with the reason why he has done so. We need to judge it with a fair and reasonable eye.1.3 The structure of the thesisThe thesis consists of five chapters. The first chapter of the thesis gives a brief introduction to the author Emily Bronte‟s life experience and th e main plot of her novel Wuthering Heights. It also examines the background of the story and briefly introduces the author‟s unique personalities. In addition, there is also a review of critics‟ interpretations of this book.Chapter Two discusses Heath cliff and Catherine‟s love from two aspects. It begins with an analysis of Catherine‟s natural love for Heathcliff and ends with a probe into her betrayal of Heathcliff.Chapter Three analyzes Heathcliff‟s revenge from tree aspects. First, the author briefly explores his personalities. Second, the author provides two examples of his revenge. Last, the thesis further studies the causes of his revenge.The fourth chapter demonstrates Heathcliff‟s return of humanity through a study of Nelly‟s revelation and the younger generation‟s true love.The last chapter is the conclusion of the thesis. It gives us a summary of this thesis. Heathcliff‟s revenge has its roots in the society in which he lives, and the rebirth of humanity an seen in the young er generation‟s true love gives reader hope and encourages readers to love and to be loved. Love is enduring and it is the greatest thing in the world.Chapter 2 Heathcliff and Catherine’s love2.1 Catherine’s natural loveCatherine had always been living in a wasteland since her childhood. She was obstinate and unruly and she never made an apology to her father. After Heathcliff was brought back by her father, she began to make friends with him. They combined together to resist Hindley. During the process, they found that they were important to each other. Catherine also fully realized that if they wanted to get true freedom, equality and dignity. They must live together and combine their power to resist Hindley. Their love was rightly produced in their similar experience and the process of their resistance to Hindley. Catherine once said that she loved him, not because of his handsome look, but because he was more like herself than her.Jean Baker Miller (1976) writes in Toward a new Psychology like this: One central feature is that women stay with, build on and develop on the context of attachment and affiliation to others. Indeed, women‟s sense of selfbecomes very much organized around being able to make and maintainaffiliations and relationships. Eventually, for many women the threat ofdisruption of an affiliation is perceived not just a threat of disruption butsomething closer to a loss of self.3In Wuthering Heights, Catherine attaches herself to Heathcliff. She said that she was Heathcliff and he was more herself than she was…their souls were the same.出处This confession really proves that Catherine owns the most natural and true love for Heathcliff. At the beginning of this novel, Lockwood discovered Catherine‟s diary where she wrote a name “Catherine Heathcliff”. We all know that Catherine‟s full name should be “Catherine Earnshaw”. When Catherine came back from Thrushcross Grange, She “flew to embrace” Heathcliff and “bestowed sevenor eight kisses on his check within the second出处”, which also indicates that she truly and passionately loved him. When Heathcliff left home, she cried “at a good passionate fit of crying”. Her spiritual happiness and her natural self would be lost if Heathcliff left her. All this best prove the special relationship between Heathcliff and Catherine.Their love surpasses any other kind of love in the world. It is understandable that Heathcliff could not stand Catherine‟s betrayal. He did not care about Hindley‟s abuse, he also did not care abou t Edgar‟s discrimination. After Catherine‟s betrayal, he lost his spiritual brace. Can‟t we associate his revenge with the abuse he encountered and the sadness he suffered? Of course, we can not. Only when we have acknowledged their experiences can we understand their emotion. The existence without each other was unbearable to them both. No matter what kind of love it was, it was gradually developed in their company and mutual support. We cherish all of these kinds of love.2.2 Catherine’s betrayal of lov eHeathcliff and Catherine‟s love tragedy began with their break into the Thrushcross Grange at night. When they peeped at the drawing room of Edgar‟s, they saw the splendid room with a red carpet on the ground and the white ceiling. Catherine was guided into the room. After this visit, she was deeply attracted by the life of the upper society. She was eager for the noble status, the rich property and creditable life. Gradually she began to look down on Heathcliff. We do not feel surprised about her change. Seemingly she was doomed to this such a change from the very beginning of the novel.When Edgar made an offer of marriage, Catherine was seized with conflicting feelings. Eventually, she agreed to Edgar‟s proposal although she still loved Heathcliff in the depth of her heart. She said that if she married Heathcliff, they would become beggars. If she married Edgar, she could help Heathcliff go up to a higher position. Obviously, her thoughts were very simple and impossible. However, every individual has the right to choose love and life what he wants.Catherine‟s betrayal really delivered a deadly blow to Hethcliff. To Heathcliff, betraying love meant betraying her own soul and her true self. And to him, Catherine‟s love meant everything. Losing her would be like losing his soul, which really triggered his hatred.Chapter 3 Heathcliff’s Revenge3.1 Heathcliff’s two-fold personalitiesHeathcliff was conceited and brutal. He always wore a cold look. However, when he fell in love with Catherine, he turned warm and kind. We can clearly see the conflict between love and hatred in his spiritual world. He loved Catherine. In order to match Catherine, he left his lover and struggled alone in a strange village for three years. He could stand in fro nt of Catherine‟s window for several nights. He could call his lover‟s name days and nights without food and drink. He even dug Catherine‟s tomb with his own hands although she had died for many years. He bribed the pastor and asked him to dig out Edgar‟s tomb and buried his own tomb with Catherine.4 However, such a man changed quickly after Catherine betrayed him. Because of Catherine‟s betrayal and other people‟s discrimination, he gave free rein to his terrible personality. His love was devoted to Catherine only. Naturally, he acted like a cold avenger. He was eager for success and made a decision to revenge. He did not care about how long he would have to wait although he suffered a lot during the process of revenge. Catherine and Haeathcliff seemed to be made for each other and they had similar personalities. However, life is serious and cruel. Especially at that background, most people worshipped money and social status. Allured by money, their values began to be distorted. After you finish reading this book carefully, you will understand all of their behaviors and even forgive Heathcliff for his love.3.2 Heathcliff’s revenge on Hindley and Linton3.2.1 His revenge on HindleyFrom Catherine‟s words, we can clearly feel the torment Heathcliff suffers from Hindley:“An awful Sunday! I wish my father were back again. Hindley is a detestable substitute--his conduct to Heathcliff is atrocious. H. and I aregoing to rebel--we took our initiatory step this evening”.5It is no wonder that Heahclif could not b ear Hindly‟s abuse. Not only did he feel the unfair treatment but also Catherine could not stand it any more. He wanted to rebel the social order that deprived them of their humanity.After Heathcliff left home, he tried to do what he could to earn money. Three years later, he came back with a great deal of money and higher status. He had the power to revenge on Hindley then. He made full use of his money to accelerate Hindley‟s going bankrupt. He wanted to regain his pride by doing to Hindley what Hindley had done to him. His revenge was specific and accurate. It gave him immense satisfaction. He also used the same method to torment Hindley‟s son—Hareton. Although he showed sympathy for Hareton, he still made him become a servant. He also found that Hareto n was like himself and that Hareton‟s love for Cathy was also like his own love for Catherine.In fact, he did not feel happy any more. He did not gain any satisfaction after he carried out his plan of revenge. He was in effect a poor man who was shackled by his living environment and was living minute to minute in overwhelming hatred.3.2.2 His revenge on LintonHeathcliff did not revenge on Linton directly because of Catherine‟s love. He did not want to hurt Catherine. In order to revenge on Linton, he married Isabella and treated her badly. What‟s worse, after Catherine died, he turned more and more crazy. He threatened Linton‟s daughter Cathy and married her to his son who was almost at his last gasp. He also threatened his own son and had him make a will to leave all the heritages to himelf. He tormented Linton‟s daughter to let off his hatred of Linton.However, when he saw that the two young men‟s eyes were all like Catherine‟s, he stopped his revenge. His revenge did not bring any gratification to him. Instead, he felt very lonely and he also said that it was a very ridiculous ending.When he was doing all of these crazy things, he might be equally sad and helpless as we readers. He was like a lost sheep and could not find his path to light.3.3 Roots of Heathcliff’s revengeWhy did Heathcliff so deeply hate the people around him? Why could he have become so crazy? His hatreds all derived from love. The two contrasting kinds of emotions combined in Heathcliff. Unable to sustain such heavy burdens, his spiritual and emotional world finally callapsed. Careful studies indicate that the root-causes of his crazy revenge can be summarized as follows:1. Heathcliff‟s lower social statusHeathcliff was an orphan who was adopted by Mr. Ear nshaw. Mr. Earnshaw‟s son Hindley hated him very much. He often discriminated against him and even abused him. The servant Nelly did not speak to him any more. Because of his lower status, he always suffered discriminations. All of these burried the seeds of hatred in his little heart. He longed for the status, the fame and a great amount of money. The desire forced him to do everything he could to get what he wanted. When he was young, he developed a patient and strong personality. His patient and strong personality is rarely found in an innocent child of his age.Rome is not built in one day. Heathcliff had been unjustly treated, and this pushed him eventually run to the extreme.2. Catherine‟s betrayal of loveAlthough he had suffered a lot and experienced unjust treatment, he still had Catherine as his spiritual and emotional brace. Catherine was what supported him to live on. Her love was his life, his hope and his all. However, when Catherine came back from Thrushcross Grange, she became very vain. She had expectations for a comfortable and desultory life. She even treated Heathcliff as a servant. She thought that only if she married a rich man could she feel proud and become a amazing woman. On the contrary, marring Heathcliff would lower her status. At last, she chose Linton as her husband. Her choice drove Heathcliff into despair. He had no choice and left home alone. In his view, his failure to win Catherine was attributed to his poverty and lower status. He developed a strong hatred for all the people around him, especially Hindley.Catherine‟s betrayal threw Heathcliff into despair and drove him to step on his way to revenge.3. His own inferior mentalityHeathcliff had no parents; nobody liked him except Mr. Earnshaw and Catherine. Whe n he saw Catherine‟s elegant and poised appearance, he even hid himself behind the chair and did not dare to come out.6 When he learnt that Catherine would marry Linton, he had no choice but leaving home. If he could compete with Linton and win Catherine‟s heart, his fate might change a lot. Yet he had no courage to compete with Linton who was both rich and handsome. He left all the sorrow to himself and hated people around him.4.Hindley‟s humiliation and discriminationAfter Mr. Earnshaw died, Hindley began to bully Heathcliff brazenly. Hindley deprived his opportunity of receiving education from the pastor and treated him as a servant. Hindley also forced him to do hard work with other guys. He once said that he was planning to revenge on Heathcliff and he did not care about how long he would wait. He hoped that Hindley would not die before his plan was realized. Hindley also teased at him before Catherine, which damaged his self-esteem and aggravated his plan of revenge.When we receive such treatments, none of us know for sure whether or not we can stand them. If we experience what Heathcliff experienced, we may be crazier than him. The humiliation he endured is a torment of humanity.5. The unfair social systemIn the final analysis, the root of his hatred and revenge is to be found in the social system at that time. In the Victoria Era, the people were very fickle and they only embraced men with higher status and a great amount of money. People‟s spirits were strongly suppressed and their humanity was cruelly tortured. Catherine realized the great disparity between her and Heathcliff. She had a fantasy to help Heathcliff by marrying Linton. Of course, it was impossible. Everyone looked down on him. Catherine‟s vanity was also bound up with the envir onment where she lived. Why would she rather choose a man that she did not like than a man she really loved? The answer is clear. Because Hinley was rich and he also had higher status. This was the fundamental factor that led Heathcliff to his revenge.Taking all these into consideration, we will be able to better understand Heathcliff‟s revenge. He was not really a crazy avenger. We can also see his decent personality behind his revenge. Compared with Oliver in Oliver Twist, Heathcliff is more brave.7 He dares to resist the system and fight for his rights and love. He is a man of valor. We can not help appreciating his bravery and persistence in fighting for true love.Chapter 4 Rebirth of Heathcliff’s Natural Self Heathcliff is not really a crazy avenger. Although he had the plan and motivation to revenge, he just plundered their property instead of killing them. We all know that Hindley‟s cruel treatment to him could have made him become a demon. But he just hit Hindley for one time—when Hindley tried to shoot at him after Catherine‟s death. He also saved Hindley‟s son. Hindley‟s death did not have any direct relation with Heathcliff. Before Heathcliff came back, Hindley had been drunk with drinking and gambling. The refore, Heathcliff is not to be held responsible for Hindley‟s corruption and death.Heathcliff once said to Catherine that he would not revenge on him at the beginning. Catherine‟s death began with Heathcliff and Edgar‟s quarrel. She threatened Edgar by going on a hunger strike. Heathcliff returned home after getting fame and money. She fell down in desperation. In order to get freedom for her soul, she chose death. So Catherine‟s death was her own choice rather than Heathcliff‟s fault.After hearing the death of Catherine, he once cried “Only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! It is unutterable! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!”8For Heatcliff, Catherine was like his life and soul. Without Catherine, his existence would make no sense to him. Without Catherine, he would be like a helpless child. He almost sank into despair.Many people think that Heathcliff abducted his sister Isabella in order to revengehis rival-in-love Edgar. However, we know that Heathcliff did not do anything to seduce Isabella. He never showed his love to Isabella. This marriage arose from Isabella‟s dream of love and Heathcliff‟s desire for money. He used Isabella as his tool of revenge. To some extent, it was not kind of him to treat Isabella like this. We disapprove of his behavior, but we understand his choice.Many people think Heathcliff is a crazy demon for the younger generation. It is not absolutely right. He and Hareton‟s friendly emotions are sincere and natura l.Hareton viewed him as his only friend and forbid Cathy to attack him. Heathcliff also once said to Nelly that if this child was someone else, he would really love him. In fact, Heathcliff always loved Hareton,unconsciously and instinctively. We can see his struggles and hesitations when he was doing something hurtful to these children.4.1 Nelly’s revelation to HeathcliffNelly really plays an important role in this book. She is the only character who experienced the thirty years‟ history. She sa id that we should learn to forgive. She asked Isabella to be remissive to Heathcliff. She said to Isabella: “One might suppose you had never opened a Bible in your life”. She thought that Catherine was vain and selfish. She said to heathcliff, “Your pride can not blind God! You tempt him to wring your heart and nerves, till he forces a cry of humiliation”.9Nelly tried to persuade him to show his repentence to God.One of Nelly‟s mottos is that “people who do their duty are always finally rewarded. Heathc liff and Catherine‟s love is miserable and self—destructive. However, this book ends with a happy ending. It gives its readers a feeling of comfort. Heathcliff also realized his faults at the end, when he achieved the triumph. He said like this:It is a poor conclusion, is it not? My old enemies have not beaten me;now would be the precise time to revenge myself on their representatives: Icould do it, and none could hinder me.But where is the use? I don‟t care for striking; I can‟t take the trouble to raise my hand! That sounds as if I had been laboring the whole time only toexhibit a fine trait of magnanimity. It is far from being the case: I have lostthe faculty of enjoying their destruction, and I an too idle to destroy fornothing.Nelly, there‟s a strange change approaching: I am in its shadow at present. I take so little interest in my daily life that I hardly remember to eatand drink.10。
