摘要:呼啸山庄是爱的古典小说,也是英国文学中最伟大的小说之一。女人需要自由的性格,艾米莉是有自我追求的女性。近代以来,妇女在社会中演绎着越来越重要的角色。
usy to keep her father company as well as Nelly . Her days were completely divided into two parts—to her father and Nelly , and she didn’t leave a second for herself . Because of Linton , she secretly met him after taking care of Nelly in the evening . The purpose that she didn’t let them know was that she didn’t want them to worry about her .
Cathy loved her father very much . When her father was ill , she felt sad and once said to Nelly:
I care for nothing in comparisons with papa . And I’ll never—never—oh , never , I have my senses , do an act or say a word to vex him . I love him better than
myself , Ellen ; and I know it by this— I pray every night that I live after him ; because I would rather be miserable than that he should be: that proves I love him better than myself . ( Emily, 2004: 270)
From her words , we can see that she was a very filial and kind daughter , and she freted about “nothing on earth except papa’s illness .”(Emily, 2004:270) Sense made her realize that her father was most important person in her life . Nobody can replace her father’s place in her mind . She was willing to give up everything , including love and her beloved Linton , only for her dear father . From these plots , we can see that Cathy’s sense was beyond her sensibility .
ChapterⅡ Primitive Love vs. Civilized Love 原始的爱和文明的爱
Catherine was born in Wuthering Heights , which symbolized freedom, primitivity and savagery . When she was young , she was a little trulculent and intractable . She wouldn’t like to read books , but like to play and run with boys . She often laughed at the Bible , she even didn’t go to the church on Sundays . However , Cathy was different from her mother . Cathy was born in Thrushcross Grange , which symbolized civilization and the upper class . She grew up in the surroundings of adults , for there wasn’t a friend of the similar age . “Her anger was never furious ; her love was never fierce : it was deep and tender .”(Emily, 2004: 220) Under her father’s good education , she “ learned rapidly and eagerly .”(Emily, 2004: 221) When she was forced to marry Linton by Heathcliff , she couldn’t bear the days in Wuthering Heights without a book . In her opinion , she couldn’t live on the earth without books . As we all know , reading books is a way to develop from the primitivity to the civilization . From their different attitudes about books , we can see that what they pursued was completely different .
Catherine pursued the freedom and the primitivity , while Cathy pursued the civilization and the ethic . Therefore , Catherine is the representative of primitive love , whereas Cathy is the representative of civilized love .
Primitive love is irrational and jazzy . People of this kind will love one regardless of everything and hate one wi
thout thinking of the results . That Catherine married Edgar satisfied her vanity , however , her love for Heathcliff didn’t diminish . Even when she was dying , who she didn’t forget was also Heathcliff . The love was so strong and seemed to be the most original and basic strength in her life . As Catherine said :
My love for Linton is like the foliage in the woods . Time will change it , I’m well aware , as winter changes the trees ;my love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneath — a sou
