About This Novel
"Wuthering Heights" is a story about love and revenge. Squire Earnshaw brings the abandoned child Heathcliff back to Wuthering Heights. His son Hindley feels that the abandoned child has deprived him of his father's love and threatens his property inheritance rights, so he hates him. Once his father dies, he demotes him to a servant and tortures and humiliates him. During this period, Heathcliff and Earnshaw's daughter Catherine fell in love. However, Heathcliff's humble status and Catherine's worldly ideas are insurmountable obstacles to this love. When Catherine decided to marry the wealthy young man Edgar Linton, Heathcliff's passionate love for his lover turned into a deep-seated hatred for his enemies and rivals. He launched a crazy revenge on Hindley, Edgar, and their descendants. As the first novel, this book uses flashback techniques in art, and unfolds the fierce conflict of love and hate layer by layer through the narrations of tenants and old servants, just like a detective novel. The scenery of Yorkshire in northern England sets off the ups and downs of the characters' inner world. The plot is ups and downs, and the language is rich and vivid.
