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. 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.

After reading 《the Wuthering Heights》 , I really sympathize with Heathcliff . His love for Catherine made him fierce and malicious . His life has been filled with extreme hatred since the day when he overheard Catherine’s complaints to Nelly that she loved Edgar. And he killed himself to show his forever love for Catherine . His nature is good as he gave up his revenge on their next generation .

Now let’s recall Catherine’s love for the two man : My love for Edgar is like the foliage in the woods . Time will change it , I’m well aware. My love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneath . My great miseries in this world have been Heathliff’s miseries . If all else perished and he remained , I should still continue to be. Nelly , I’m Heathliff . Not as a pleasure but as my own being ! I cannot think of our separation .

Catherine knew her love for Heathcliff but she still chose to marry Edgar because Linton is the owner of the Grange in the future , but what Heathliff has is just shame and a low status . “As Mrs Linton , I can aid you to rise and place you out of my brether’s power .”Catherine said to Heathliff with vanity and innocent. On the other hand , although innocence and selfishness ruined Catherine’s love , It’s her choice of marriage that shows the helpless of life and the sufferings he brought . The choice of marriage is more to choose a kind of life , which can bring you peace and security .

Heathcliff’s stubborn and fierce is a dramatic contrast to Linton’s gentle and honest. Catherine is a realistic , arrogant and innocent person , so she chose Linton . She has already had a gentle , generous and kind husband but she still cannot stop missing Heathcliff , and at last she died . I think that is the theme : Get the right understanding on how to choose marriage from the wrong choice .

Heathcliff’s arrival made a home lose it’s balance , following is a series of revenge : Hindley hated Heathcliff , Heathcliff hated Hindley and Edgar . Hareton became the victim of Hindley , Isabella became the victim of Linton . Just for revenge ,Heathcliff even saw his son dying day by day , hatred has taken control of him completely . Of course he has love , for Catherine . They love each other but cannot be together . Love and hate sometimes seem so far , but sometimes they are so close . Heathcliff is a tragedy , it’s beyond imagination how painful he is when he think of the past . However , when he died with smile on his face , he may has released from hate .

There are three graves on the hill : Catherine is in the middle of Edgar and Heathcliff . Maybe that’s the best explanation for love and hate .
