Wuthering Heights (classic Translation)
by I
About This Novel
"Wuthering Heights" describes Heathcliff, a gypsy abandoned child who was adopted by the old owner of the mountain village. He could not bear the humiliation and was frustrated in love, so he went out to get rich. After returning, he found that his girlfriend Catherine had married the landowner Linton, and a story of revenge against the landowner and his children followed. The whole novel is filled with a strong fighting spirit against oppression and seeking freedom, and is always enveloped in a bizarre, tense and romantic artistic atmosphere. At first, the work was called a naive fantasy of a young female writer that was divorced from reality. However, combined with the fierce class struggle in the region it describes and the social phenomena in Britain at that time, it was soon highly recognized by critics and warmly welcomed by readers.

To put it bluntly, this work is a revenge romance novel. However, why it has received so many honors is that the profound theme is an important aspect. But my admiration for Emily lies not only in the theme of the work, but also in the creator's own feelings. For characters like the heroine and husband, if it were an ordinary urban or romantic novel, they would probably be perfectly portrayed. If there is a flaw, it is that the character is too nice, and in the end he becomes a spare tire accidentally. However, in this work, the author is critical of this type of character, and the limitations of his thinking and the cowardice of his character are all shown. Every character, especially the important ones, is like a sculpture, and it is difficult for the author to bear to intentionally create flaws in them. However, Emily chose the former between high-idea and perfectionism. Instead of creating a cookie-cutter, perfect aristocratic young man, it is better to improve the overall ideological level of the work. Most people would rather immerse themselves in the satisfaction brought by a perfect sculpture than face the beauty of Venus' broken arm. Therefore, this is the gap between the author itself and the reason why I admire Emily.

Am I doomed? My whole life is looking forward to the moment when she turns back. I still can't control myself to forget her. Just like the author's Heathcliff, I am really powerless. After reading, I feel like, hey, do I also have to wait for her to come in the wilderness? They told me to let it go if I can't forget it. Unfortunately, both are too difficult for me. It will be nearly eight years soon, 😖😖😭😭😭
The dilemma of the soul in the wasteland
#文worthy to read again# When I opened "Wuthering Heights", I thought it was an idyllic love story, but instead I encountered a crazy obsession spanning two generations. Heathcliff's love and hate both carry the harshness and harshness of the wilderness. Sometimes his love is so hot that it can burn everything, but sometimes his hatred is so paranoid that it pulls everyone into the abyss. Catherine's words "I am Heathcliff" sounded affectionate, but they also became the beginning of the two people's tragedy - she longed for the dignity of Thrushcross Grange, but could not let go of the soul of the wilderness. This wavering eventually led to the destruction of both people. This book has no tender words of love, but is full of wild tearing and revenge. However, after closing the book, you will be shocked by the ultimate and painful love. It turns out that the most touching love may not be the quiet years, but it may also be the everlasting obsession and echo in the wilderness.
The translation is very good. I feel that my soul has evolved.
To be true, one must always respond to things. To respond to things, one must not be confused.
This book is really good and worth reading.
Why did old Eun Xiao adopt him? He almost destroyed his offspring by allowing his offspring to stage such a love-hate relationship. Be careful when adopting
Don't be afraid to read good books late
Good translation, beautiful language
I haven't read it yet, so I don't know how the translation is.
