Love is the eternal theme of human beings, and love is also an inevitable existence in a person's life. What do you do if you are betrayed by the other person in love?
Of course everyone has their own answer. Heathcliff in "Wuthering Heights" has different answers from ordinary people.
01 The cause of the story
Heathcliff is an outcast adopted by Enshaw, the owner of Wuthering Heights. He is about the same age, has similar interests and childhood sweethearts as Enshaw's daughter Catherine. They are of the same roughness and barbarity. They run wildly in the wasteland, play, climb trees and rivers, and look like civilized people at all.
By chance, Catherine saw the elegant life of the nearby Thrush Garden, a decent life completely different from their lives. Everything is so gentle and polite. She was simply fascinated by her lover, and she resolutely married Edgar Linton, the young owner of the Thrush Garden - a gentle and polite and a little cowardly.
02 Revenge, revenge, crazy revenge
Heathcliff was heartbroken and decided to leave Wuthering Heights. By the time he made a comeback, he was already a successful person and began to implement his revenge plan.
First of all, starting from the son of the old owner of Wuthering Heights, he seized the owner's son's irritable, cowardly, incompetent, and gave up. He won all his property by improper means, and almost swept him out. In order to let the young owner of the villa taste the treatment he had received, he would not let the old owner's grandson Hatton learn culture, and cultivate him into a crude and barbaric slave who was the same as himself.
Then, in order to realize his second step of revenge plan, he seduced her while knowing that the young master of the thrush's twig's twig's twig's twig's twig's twig's twig's twig's twig's twig's twig's twig's twig's twig's twig's twig's twig's twig's twig's twig's twig's twig's twig's twig's twig's twig's twig's twig's twig's twig's twig's twig's twig's twig's twig's twig's
Catherine gave birth to a baby girl before she was about to die. Isabella also gave birth to his son a year later. Heathcliffe had never looked for his wife and son. After his wife died, she used her frail son and used improper means to force Catherine's daughter to marry him. After his son died, she naturally occupied all the property of Huayuetianzhuang.
03 Author Emily Brontë
"Wuthering Heights" is written by Emily, one of the three famous British sisters, Bronte. It is said that she is shy, taciturn, stubborn, and is very similar to their selfish father. Maugham said that Heathcliff and Catherine have the shadow of Emily, and she is the two of them.
It is not difficult to understand from here. What Catherine said before her death: I am Heathcliffe! He will always be in my heart. He does not exist as a pleasure, nor does he necessarily exist as a person who is more interesting than me, but as me.
At the same time, since the author died at the age of 30, he only studied abroad in Belgium for a few years during his lifetime, and his rest of his time was in the countryside and his experience was limited, so the handling of the plot was not perfect enough. For example: What did Heathcliff rely on to make a fortune when he was struggling outside? After occupying the two industries, he did not interfere with the intimacy between Catherine and Hatton, but suddenly went on a hunger strike to die? And the whole book uses a lot of descriptions of scenery in the tone of Mrs. Dean.
04 Conclusion
The reason why "Wuthering Heights" has become such an unforgettable book is because the strong emotional conflicts and crazy revenge in it seem to be contrary to common sense, but it vividly expresses Heathcliff's extraordinary rebellious spirit. This is Emily's inner rebellion and resistance, which is a special resistance determined by a special environment and special personality.
