Secondly, the female writer gave up the original narrative skills. In the19th century, women writers such as Jane Eyre written by her sister and Pride and Prejudice written by Austin all adopted such a traditional technique that was easily accepted by the public. Emily used a "dramatic structure" that was rare at that time in order to sort out the complex stories that happened between two generations. Mr Lockwood borrowed the eyes and ears of a stranger who broke into Wuthering Heights and interposed a sentence in the middle of the story. At this time, Catherine, the heroine, is dead, and Heathcliff is punishing the second generation of two families in an extremely tyrannical way, which sets a huge suspense, making readers eager to trace the cause of the matter and always pay attention to the future fate of the characters. Of course, for people who were used to reading classical novels at that time, it was a bit difficult to accept this narrative system, so that some people accused the book of "patchwork and decency."
What is the deep theme of Wuthering Heights?
Now, most people think this is an exploration of human nature. The nightmare that Mr Lockwood had when he arrived is the key to the theme of the story, which is the freezing of human nature. The flashback of the past 30 years shows the process of human depravity. The last four chapters describe the recovery of human nature, and Heathcliff finally realizes that endless revenge will only bring bad consequences. Basically, in the process of telling evil, the novel finally found the possibility of good.
In the literary world at that time, Emily was far ahead of people:
It was not until the end of that century that someone said that Wuthering Heights was the best prose poem that women writers could write in the19th century. Moreover, in this century, when people re-read and evaluate the literary works of the three Bronte sisters, they began to point out that emily bronte is the "greatest genius of the three sisters", and Wuthering Heights has become a piece of jade that western scholars want to ponder, and the rich answers behind the puzzling mystery shrouded in it will gradually be explained. After all, he is a genius with strong readability, not a "heavenly book" in the fog.
The uniqueness of this novel lies in:
First of all, it reveals the complexity and profundity of human nature, which lies in the passion of love and hate it contains. The love between Catherine and Heathcliff is entirely based on their personalities and interests. Their love is mainly spiritual agreement rather than outward attraction, spiritual agreement rather than desire. In their last meeting, the irresistible passion was not mixed with any lust, which also entrusted the writer with his yearning for ideal and pure love.
After reading a book for a long time, feelings and insights will fade:
I don't appreciate the interweaving of love and hate in the book. If you love, you have no hate. If you hate, you are not true love. People are emotional animals, only those who have feelings are truly sincere, and those who are sincere will be more lovely. But this fanaticism has turned love into hate, and I don't agree. Fortunately, Heathcliff finally lost his hatred, which enabled the lovers Catherine Jr. and Hareton to come together, and also showed that true feelings can touch everyone.
Combined with my own emotional experience, my greatest experience of love is tolerance. If you really love, what can't you get an interview? As long as he (she) is happy, as long as he (she) once really loved himself, left good memories, blessed each other and thought about each other quietly in the deserted night, that's enough.
Reading famous books is really tiring and enjoyable. When I am moved by the feelings of the characters inside, I will cry and be encouraged.
Attachment: Brief introduction to the story
Wuthering Heights tells a story of love and revenge. Heathcliff, an abandoned child, was picked up by the kind Mr. Earnshaw in the streets of Liverpool and taken home for adoption. He lives with Earnshaw's son Hindley and his daughter Catherine. Hindley hates Heathcliff, but his sister likes Heathcliff. After Earnshaw's death, Hindley became the head of the family, treating Heathcliff as a servant and tenant farmer, depriving him of his right to education, which is half insulting. At the same time, Catherine and Heathcliff became best friends because of the consistency of personality and hobbies, and they had a hazy love. Linton, the son of a wealthy gentleman in the neighborhood, pursued Catherine and often went to see her. Catherine expressed her love for him and decided to marry him. Heathcliff left angrily. Catherine married Linton three years later. Heathcliff also came back rich and took revenge. Having lost his wife, Hindley became addicted to drinking and gambling. Heathcliff lured him into further depravity, easily possessed all his property, and instigated his son to become an illiterate and hooligan. Heathcliff married Linton's sister Isabella by deception and abused her in every way after marriage. Catherine died after giving birth to her daughter, Little Catherine. Isabella recognized Heathcliff's true colors and left him, giving birth to her son, Little Linton. Later, Isabella Lie died, and her son was taken back by Heathcliff. She induced him to fall in love with little Catherine. When Linton was seriously ill, he designed to kidnap little Catherine, forced her to marry his son Linton, and annexed all Linton's property, thus completing his revenge plan. Kobayashi died soon, and little Catherine fell in love with Hindley's son Hareton. At the same time, Heathcliff is haunted by Catherine's ghost, and he doesn't think about eating or sleeping. He saw Catherine's eyes in Hareton's and little Catherine's eyes, unwilling to obstruct their love, and died in depression and insanity.
