英文读后感之呼啸山庄读后感

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 And from that point the reputation of the book has never looked back Even so, WUtheRING HEIGHTS continues to divide readers It is cruel, violent, dark and brooding, and many people find it extremely unpleasant

the novel is told in the form of an extended FLASHback It was once a cheerful place, but Old Earnshaw adopted a "Gipsy" child who he named Heathcliff But although Catherine loves him, even recognizes him as her soulmate, she cannot lower herself to marry so far below her social station

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 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 Yes, this is madness, insanity, and there is no peace this side of the grave or even beyond 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共2页,当前第1页1【星火作文网 wwwcom】
