《呼啸山庄》简介1801年,洛克乌先生来到山庄拜访希克厉先生,要租下他的画眉山庄,希克厉先生对他很粗暴,还有一群恶狗向他发起进攻。

但他还是又一次造访希克厉先生,他遇到了行为粗俗,不修边幅的英俊少年哈里顿恩肖,和貌美的希克厉先生之子的遗孀。

由于天黑又下雪希克厉先生不得不留他住了下来,夜里他做了一个奇怪的梦,梦见树枝打在窗齿打碎玻璃,想折断外头的树枝,可手指却触到一双冰凉的小手,一个幽灵似的啜泣声乞求他放她进来。

她说她叫卡瑟琳·恩萧,已经在这游荡了20年了,她想闯进来,吓得洛克乌失声大叫。

希克厉先生闻声赶来,让洛克乌出去,他自己扑倒在床上,哭着叫起来:“卡茜,来吧!啊,来呀,再来一次!啊,我心中最亲爱的!卡瑟琳,最后一次!”可窗外毫无声息,一阵冷风吹灭了蜡烛。

第二天,洛克乌先生来到画眉山庄,向女管家艾伦迪恩问起此事,女管家便讲了发生在呼啸山庄的事情。

呼啸山庄已有300年的历史,以前的主人欧肖夫妇从街头捡来一个吉普赛人的弃儿,收他做养子,这就是希克厉。

希克厉一到这家就受到才先生的儿子享德莱的欺负和虐待,可享德莱的妹妹卡瑟琳却与希克厉疯狂地相爱了。

老主人死了之后,已婚的享德莱成了呼啸山庄的主人。

他开始阻止希克厉和卡瑟琳的交往,并把希克厉赶到田里去干活,不断地差辱他,折磨他,他变得不近人情,近乎痴呆,卡瑟琳也变得野性十足。

一次,他们到画眉山庄去玩,卡瑟琳被狗咬伤,主人林敦夫妇知道她是欧肖家的孩子,就热情地留她养伤,而把希克厉当成坏小子赶跑了。

卡瑟琳和林敦的儿子埃德加、女儿伊莎贝拉成了好朋友。

卡瑟琳住了五个长星期回来后,变成温文尔雅,仪态万方的富家小姐。

当他再次见到希克厉时,生怕他弄脏了自己的衣服。

希克厉的自尊心受到了伤害,他说:“我愿意怎么脏,就怎么脏。

”他发誓要对享德莱进行报复,他心中的野性和愤恨全部对准享德莱。

1778年6月,享德莱的妻子生下哈里顿恩肖后因肺病死去,亨德莱受了很大的打击,从此变得更加残忍,更加冷酷无情。

卡瑟琳徘徊于希克厉和埃德加的爱情之间,她真心爱希克厉,但又觉得与一个仆人结婚,有失身份。

当埃德加向她求婚时,想到他的漂亮和富有,便答应了。

但在她灵魂深处,非常明白自己错了,便向女仆艾伦迪恩吐露真情:“我对埃德加的爱像树林中的叶子,当冬季改变树木的时候,随之就会改变叶子。

我对希克厉的爱却像地下永久不变的岩石……我就是希克厉!他无时无刻不在我心中,并不是作为一种乐趣,而是作为我的一部分。

”希斯克里夫不巧听到了她们对话的前半部分,痛苦万分,当夜离开了呼啸山庄,卡瑟琳因希克厉的离去而大病一场。

后来林敦夫妇相继得热病而死,在他们死后三年,卡瑟琳同埃德加结婚了。

数年后,希克厉突然出现在画眉山庄,这时他已经长成了一个萧洒英俊而又很有钱的青年。

卡瑟琳见到他时欣喜若狂,他意味深长地说:“我只是为了你才奋斗的”。

他经常出入于画眉山庄,这使伊莎贝拉发疯似的爱上了他。

他为了报复整夜整夜地和享德莱打牌、喝酒,慢慢地使他破了产,最后把整个庄园抵押给希克厉。

尽管卡瑟琳想尽办法想挽回希斯克里夫的感情,但他还是和伊莎贝拉结婚了,婚后以虐待伊莎贝拉来发泄自己的仇恨。

此时卡瑟琳正值临产,希克厉趁埃德加不在,进入了画眉山庄,他死命地抱住卡瑟琳,悲切地叫道:“啊,卡茜,啊,我的命!我怎能受得了哇!……”卡瑟琳着说:“如果我做错了,我会因此而死,你也离开过我,但我宽恕了你,你也宽恕我吧!”希克厉答道:“这是难以办到的,但我饶恕你对我做的事。

我可以爱害了我的人,可是害了你的人,我又怎么能够饶恕他呢?”他们就这样疯狂地拥抱着,互相不知是深爱还是怨恨。

直到埃德加回来后,他们才分开,卡瑟琳再也没有醒来。

当天夜里,她昏迷中生下一个女孩便死去了。

希斯克里夫整夜守在庄园里,当得知凯瑟琳死了,他用力地把头撞在树干上,“天啊!没有我的命根子,我不能活下去呀!”几个月后享德莱死了,希成了呼啸山庄的主人。

他把享德莱的儿子哈里顿培养成一个粗野无礼,没有教养的野小子。

伊莎贝拉忍受不了丈夫的虐待,逃到伦敦附近,在那儿生了一个儿子取名林敦。

12年后林敦已长成一个少年,但病弱不堪,卡瑟琳的小女儿也已长成一个美丽的少女,希斯克里夫虽不喜欢林敦,他还是趁小卡瑟琳的父亲病危之际,把小卡瑟琳接到呼啸山庄,逼迫她和林敦结婚,因为他要“胜利地看见我的后代堂皇地作为他们产业的主人,我的孩子用工钱雇他们的孩子种他们的土地”。

几个月后,埃德加也死了,希克厉作为小卡瑟琳的父亲搬进了画眉山庄。

不久林敦也死了,小卡瑟琳成了年轻的寡妇。

小卡瑟琳和哈里顿就像当年的希克厉和卡瑟琳一样,希克厉疯狂地阻止他们的来往,当她抓住小卡瑟琳想打她时,他从她的眼睛里看到了卡瑟琳的影子,而此时的哈里顿不正是当年的自己吗!他变得更孤独了,他渴望着和卡瑟琳的孤魂在一起。

连续几天他不吃不喝,在沼地里游荡,回来后把自己关在卡瑟琳住过的房间里,第二天,人们发现他死了。

他死后被埋在卡瑟琳的墓旁,小卡瑟琳终于和哈里顿结婚了。

Taylor and songs (notably the h it Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush), ballet and opera.CharactersHeathcliff is the central male character of the novel. A foundling rai sed by the Earnshaw family, he forms a bond with his foster sister Ca therine Earnshaw and they share a passionate love, but it is founded on their sameness, of being different halves of the same soul, rather than just a romance or some physical attraction. Meanwhile he nurses a bitter rivalry with his foster brother Hindley, who resents the pa rtiality his father shows Heathcliff and is cruel to him after his fa ther's death. The only time he truly showed love or emotion was when it had to do with Cathy. He runs away from the heights when he is app roximately sixteen (his age is unknown but he looks slightly older th an Cathy) and returns three years later, having mysteriously made his fortune, education and refinement. He is a brooding, vindictive man, and his anger and bitterness at Catherine's later marriage to their neighbor Edgar Linton sees him engage in a ruthless vendetta to destr oy not only his enemies but their heirs, a crusade that only intensif ies upon Catherine's death.Catherine Earnshaw is Heathcliff's foster sister. She has dark brown e yes which are characteristic of her family. A free-spirited, wild, pa ssionate, and somewhat spoiled young woman, she returns Heathcliff's love entirely, but because Heathcliff had been made so low that if sh e married them they would become beggars, instead she chooses another , Edgar Linton, through which marriage she hopes to help Heathcliff a nd bring him back to the standing he would have had. Heathcliff leave s the Heights after overhearing that it would degrade her to marry hi m, and because of this she throws herself into a violent fit and is i ll for a while. When Edgar asks her to marry him she is about fifteen ; they are married three years after Edgar's father's death when sheis about eighteen, presumably when Edgar comes into his inheritance. When Heathcliff returns after those same three years she renews their friendship, which makes Edgar unhappy. Always on the edge of madness , her physical and mental health are destroyed by the feud between th em, and she descends into prophetic madness before dying in an angeli c state shortly after childbirth at about nineteen.Edgar Linton is a childhood friend of Catherine Earnshaw's who later m arries her. His fair appearance, blonde hair and blue eyes, contrasts with Heathcliff's dark appearance. A mild and gentle man, if slightl y cowardly and distant, he loves Catherine deeply but is unable to re concile his love for her with her feelings for her childhood friend H eathcliff. This leads to a bitter antagonism with Heathcliff, and it is partly this which leads to Catherine's breakdown. He is well-manne red and gentlemanly but always remains something of a spoiled child. He is too afraid to fight Heathcliff and shows fear at the prospect, earning both Cathy's scorn and solidifying Heathcliff's contempt. Lin ton is incapable of competing with Heathcliff's guile and ruthless de termination across the decades, and his health fails him while still a relatively young man.Isabella Linton is the younger sister of Edgar who becomes infatuated with Heathcliff. She fundamentally mistakes his true nature and elope s with him despite his apparent dislike of her. Her love for him turn s to hatred almost immediately, as she is ill treated both physically and emotionally and held captive against her will. When Heathcliff r eturns from the Grange after Cathy's death she taunts him and he resp onds by trying to attack her, but Hindley interferes and she escapes the Heights. She leaves for London after visiting Nelly at the Grange and gives birth to their son Linton Heathcliff about seven months la ter, whom she attempts to raise away from Heathcliff's corrupting inf luence.Hindley Earnshaw is Catherine's brother and Heathcliff's other rival. Having loathed Heathcliff since childhood, Hindley delights in turnin g him into a rough servant upon inheriting Wuthering Heights, making him work the fields. However, his wife's death from consumption destr oys him; he becomes a self-destructive alcoholic and gambler and it i s this that allows Heathcliff, upon returning to Wuthering Heights, t o turn the tables and to buy the mortgage to Wuthering Heights which Hindley created because of his gambling debts, and to become its owne r.Northern Yorkshire. In the foreground heaths.Ellen (Nelly) Dean is, at various points, the housekeeper of both Thru shcross Grange and Wuthering Heights, and is the primary narrator of the novel, told through M. Lockwood's journal entries. She is Hindley 's, Heathcliff's and Cathy's foster-sister and servant, and is the sa me age as Hindley, seven years older than Cathy. Heathcliff genuinely likes her and is always glad to see her. She recognizes early on tha t Heathcliff is Catherine's true love and tries to dissuade her from the disastrous marriage to Edgar. Having been a disapproving witness and unwilling participant to many of the events between Heathcliff an d both the Earnshaw and Linton families for much of her life, she nar rates the story to Lockwood during his illness at the Grange. It is p resumed that she never married as she keeps the name Dean throughout her life. It could be considered that she is the true hero of the sto ry, and without her many of the events in the story would never have taken place; however, she is not the primary protagonist.Linton Heathcliff is the son of Isabella and Heathcliff. He bears no p hysical resemblance to Heathcliff whatsoever and takes after his moth er completely, with big soft blue eyes, fair golden hair, and slightl y effeminate in appearance. However he has a certain petulance, cruel ty and selfishness, and exploits his ill health to get attention from others. He is a sickly child who grows up ignorant of his father unt il his mother's death when he is thirteen years old. He is forced to live at Wuthering Heights and grows into a bullied, trembling shadow of his father. Heathcliff arranges for him to marry his cousin Cather ine Linton so that he may inherit both the estates of Wuthering Heigh ts and Thrushcross Grange. He dies shortly after entering into the fo rced marriage.Catherine Linton is the daughter of Catherine Earnshaw and Edgar Linto n. She inherits both her mother's free-spiritedness and dark eyes and her father's gentle nature, facial features and fair hair. Heathclif f takes advantage of her fundamental innocence and manipulates her in to marrying his own son, Linton. She has a strong affection for Linto n despite her father's and Nelly's attempts to keep her out of the re ach of Heathcliff's machinations, and never wavers in her friendship to him. Unaware of Linton's failing health, she is manipulated into t raveling to the Heights, where Heathcliff forces her to remain and ma rry his son before she returns home to her father, who is dying as we ll. Once she has become a captive of Wuthering Heights Heathcliff res orts to the same torture he applies to everyone against whom he bears a grudge; he is also violent towards her and cannot stand to have he r in the same room with him. As a result, she becomes harpyish and un friendly. When Nelly is allowed to move to the Heights she helps Catherine return back to her true nature and kindness. She later falls in love with her cousin, Hareton Earnshaw.Hareton Earnshaw is the son of Hindley Earnshaw, who is adopted by Hea thcliff upon Hindley's death. He is described as a handsome rustic wi th the dark Earnshaw eyes, and bears a likeness to his aunt and fathe r. Heathcliff once saved his life; he caught him when Hindley acciden tally drops him off the banister of the staircase; however he regrett ed the act. Heathcliff spitefully turns Hareton into an illiterate se rvant and has him work the fields, much as Hindley once did to him. D espite this, Hareton remains strangely loyal to him, and considers hi m his father. Quick tempered and easily embarrassed, he falls in love with Catherine Linton early on, and despite her contempt for him is thus inspired to improve himself. He is the only person who mourns He athcliff upon his death.Joseph is a servant of the Earnshaws and later Heathcliff. A bullying, lazy and snide man, he hates Heathcliff but is bound to serve Wuther ing Heights and the sense of duty he feels to Hareton, who he calls t he true master. Intensely religious, he is sanctimonious, self-righte ous and largely held in contempt by those around him. He speaks in th e traditional West Yorkshire dialect. This dialect was still used in the Haworth area up until the late 1970s, but there are now only port ions of it still in common use.[5]Lockwood is the narrator of the novel. A newly-arrived tenant at Thrus hcross Grange at the beginning of the novel, he is intrigued by the c urious goings-on at Wuthering Heights, and persuades Nelly Dean to te ll him the story of what happened during a bout of sickness. Lockwood is apparently a wealthy, relatively young man who comes to regret no t approaching the younger Catherine Linton himself. Despite having a reserved manner and somewhat lofty ideals of himself, he is also a se nsitive and romantic soul who is deeply affected by the saga of Heath cliff and Catherine. It is inferred that he lives in London and retur ns there after his stay at the Grange.Frances Earnshaw is the wife that Hindley married while away at colleg e. The fact that he did not tell his father suggests that Frances is not of high social standing. From her introduction she proves to be a kind woman to Nelly and Cathy but follows Hindley's example and disl ikes Heathcliff. While Hareton is an infant she dies from consumption , or tuberculosis, a fate shared by most of the Brontë sisters. She h ad shown symptoms of her illness ever since Hindley brought her to Wu thering Heights, but at that time Nelly did not know what to make of her violent bloody coughs and fear of dying.Mr. Kenneth, the local doctor and drinking partner of Hindley. Kennet h often sees to the ill or dead characters: Cathy in her madnesses, F rances during childbirth and TB, Heathcliff and his early illness, Ed gar's final hours, and Hindley's death. Nelly tells Heathcliff that h e should send for Kenneth to tend to his ill son, but does not tell h im that Heathcliff's death is suicide by starvation. He also reports to Nelly that he saw Isabella leaving with Heathcliff.。
