1、呼啸山庄读书笔记英语呼啸山庄读书笔记英语 Wuthering Heights (1847) - the story is narrated by Lockwood, a gentleman visiting the Yorkshire moors where the novel is set, and of Mrs Dean, housekeeper to the Earnshaw family, who had been witness of the interlocked destinies of the original owners of the Heights. In a serie
2、s of flashbacks and time shifts.Based on the classic text of Emily Bronte, this incarnation of Wuthering Heights sets up the all-engulfing tragedy beautifully. Since its setting, the windswept Yorkshire moors, is a desolate place at the height of summer, having to fight your way through the teeth of
3、 a snowstorm is not for the faint of heart. This is the mistake made by Lockwood (Miles Mander), a temporary resident. Seeking shelter from the blizzard he staggers through the door of Wuthering Heights, finding the atmosphere within just as icy. The master of the house, Heathcliff (Laurence Olivier
4、), reluctantly provides a bed but seems ill at ease with his visitor. Theres a sad tale behind his indifference, one which the elderly housekeeper Nelly Dean (Flora Robson) is happy to share.Forty years ago Wuthering Heights was filled with light, warmth and happiness. (Cecil Kellaway), a congenial
5、gentleman farmer, lives happily with his boisterous children Cathy (Sarita Wooten) and Hindley (Douglas Scott). However, being a kind and generous fellow, he cant help rescuing a poor starving wretch off of the streets of Liverpool, a gypsy child named Heathcliff (Rex Downing). In time Heathcliff be
6、comes one of the family, loved by all except Hindley (who nurtures the feeling of being usurped). Cathy is an especially good childhood friend, spending many a carefree day playing on the moor with Heathcliff. Unfortunately when dies suddenly, Hindley is able to express his enmity with damning cruel
7、ty. Heathcliff is condemned to the stable, a position doubly harsh given his former familial state.As the years pass a single reason keeps, the now adult, Heathcliff from leaving and seeking his fortune - Cathy (Merle Oberon). Despite all that oppresses them (Hindleys (Hugh Williams) rages and their
8、 positions), there is a love between them that refuses to die. Cathy has wild, gypsy blood in her and that side of her personality loves to run through the heather with her prince, Heathcliff. Here they can be children again, far from the misery which courses through Wuthering Heights. However, the
9、more civilised half of Cathy desires fine dresses and a respectable station in society, all things which Edgar Linton (David Niven) can provide. Such a collision of love and desire is ripe territory for the seeds of tragedy.An epic tale of wild, romantic passion, set amongst the heather and wind-swe
10、pt gulleys, Wuthering Heights is stirring stuff. Presenting a vision of undying love, its genesis in the innocence of youth and resolution in the chill of death, the entire spectrum of emotions is played expertly by Bronte. Such a tale calls for a top-notch cast, players who can emote the sheer stub
11、bornness which makes Cathy and Heathcliff destroy each other while remaining deeply in love. So staggering is Heathcliffs pain that hes willing to use Cathys sister-in-law Isabella Linton (Geraldine Fitzgerald) as a weapon, caring nothing for the poor lass. Its a measure of Cathys stoicism that she
12、refuses to budge even under these conditions, pretending that she actually loves Edgar.呼啸山庄读书笔记英语 Wuthering Heights is Emily Bronts only novel. It was first published in 1847 under the pseudonym Ellis Bell, and a posthumous second edition was edited by her sister Charlotte.After reading Wuthering He
13、ights, the love and the hatred between Catherine and Heathcliff still linger in my head. Wuthering Heights gives me a cold, withering, and lonely feeling; however, at the end the book the author shows us that the human kindness is not diminished at Wuthering heights, even though the wind can break o
14、ff a tree that doesnt mean it can break off the whole forest. Even though hatred destroyed Heathcliff , Catherine, Edgar and Elizabeths happiness, that doesnt mean Cathy and Haretons happiness.Actually, there is no such a character I really like in Wuthering Heights, every character seems teemed wit
15、h agony and animosity, especially Heathcliff. Heathcliff is an orphan before adopt him, and in the novel, it says that treats Heathcliff even better than his own son, Hindley Earnshaw. Its quite amazing that in spite of Earnshaws nice treatment, Heathcliff has no gratitude at all, he revenged Hindle
16、y and Catherine, even their heirs. After reading Heathcliffstory, my feeling is complicated, although he is the avenger who dominate the whole story by using his vengeful machinations, he is also the most pitiful guy in Wuthering Heights; he doesnt know what is love and dont know how to love. Heathc
17、liff has lived with the Earnshaws for more than 10 years, but there is no attachment between him and the whole family except Catherine, but even Catherine who was died because of Heathcliffs tournament. When he is torturing others, he is also giving himself a suffering.Catherine, who is the heroine
18、in the book, is described by Nelly as capricious and selfish. She is just like Heathcliff, doesnt know how to love at all.Anyways, Wuthering Heights gave me a torment, you cant see any warm scene in the book, all you see is the fierce wind howled, and wild moor. However, at the end, the combination between Hareton and Cathy seems a hopeful light in the darkness, and the break of the day finally coming!
