这几天刚读完《呼啸山庄》,总是为书中的人物,命运着迷,念念不忘。以至于这几天都不得解脱,很想和人交流沟通,可惜同学们都很忙,不便打扰,于是在网上寻找同样读完这篇小说的朋友,且看看他们的读后感,听听他们的想法。
这么多读后感中,我竟发现一篇英文读后感写的最好,言真意切,而且对于主人公之间的爱颇有见地。于是想拿上来和朋友们一起分享,不过恕我驽钝,没有翻译全文,而是直接拿来主义了。但是这篇英文读后感并不复杂,高中水平的朋友应该都能读懂,所以还是全篇拿来,免得我那蹩脚的翻译打扰到大家的欣赏。
Is It True Love Between Heathcliff & Catherine?
In Wuthering Heights Heathcliff showed his passionate love for Catherine, but is it true love ?
I don’t think so.
First, Heathcliff was a homeless orphan; Mr. Earshaw, the owner of Wuthering Heights, brought him up. Mr. Earshaw treated him well and he felt grateful for Mr. Earshaw. Catherine is Mr. Earshaw’s daughter, so Heathcliff turned the grateful for Mr. Earshaw to the love for Catherine. And, he had a desire to be a noble gentleman. So, get married with Catherine and to be rich is his best plan. If Catherine was substituted by some girl else and also showed her good feeling to him, I guess Heathcliff would love her no matter how she called. It’s only a desire to get married with a noble woman, if he did that, he would become a noble man and say goodbye to his miserable life experience. So, get together with Catherine is mot just for love, it is also for a noble status.
Second, when Heathcliff lost his Catherine, he felt great sorrow and angry, he thought it’s Linton who robbed the woman once belonged to him. As Heathcliff felt himself inferior, he had to gone without a try to get his girl. He thought Catherine and Linton are born to live together, but himself was just a homeless orphan with no status. When someone lose something important, he will feel it more important and if he already get something, he will feel the thing he get is not the thing he really want. So, after Heathcliff got the Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange, he felt Catherine was the only one, or we may say, the only thing he cared about, and he could never get her, that feeling stroke him so that he felt there is no meaning for him to live in this world although he got high status and big fortune. That feeling differs from the feeling when he was young when people grow old; the desire to get status or fortune is not as strong as he was young. The great regret in his young age is the hardest wound and he can never cure it. Third, Heathcliff’s love for Catherine is just like possessing or occupying something, he want to own her as own some goods. It seems like that Heathcliff is a very selfish man. He never cares about the feeling of others, even Catherine’s. He came back for revenging himself on the two
