Many people in the world are trying to find a perfect companion.Some of these may marry and not know what their new husband or wife is like.This kind of situation often leads to separation or hostility. Other situations may develop between two friends that stem from jealousy, desire for revenge, uncaring parents, etc. Emily Bront's Wuthering Heights displays several characteristics of destructive relationships. Three of these are uncaring parents, marriage without knowing the person, and jealousy.
Uncaring or unsympathizing parents are shown throughout this story to be an element of destructive relationships. Because Heathcliff gained all the attention from Mr. Earnshaw, Hindley became disassociated from his father. This separation continued until after Mr. Earnshaw had died.Another example is between Hindley and Hareton. Hindley became such a drunk and a gambler that he could not properly care for young Hareton. This led to a separation between Hareton and his father as well. One primary example of an uncaring parent is shown between Heathcliff and his son Linton.Heathcliff did not even want his son for anything except enacting a part of his revenge. This is shown by Linton's fear of Heathcliff and Heathcliff's enmity toward his son. Linton even says "... my father threatened me, and I dread him - I dread him!" to express his feeling about Heathcliff.The hostility and separation between father and son in this book shows that uncaring parents can cause serious damage in relationships with their children.
This element of destructive behavior may stem from an unhappy marriage in which the husbands or wives don't know each other. This had happened between Isabella and Heathcliff. Isabella did not really know Heathcliff when she married him, but after she had married him she saw that Heathcliff was not a gentleman at all. To declare her feelings she wrote "Is Heathcliff a man? If so, is he mad? And if not, is he a devil? I shan't tell my reasons for making this inquiry; but I beseech you to explain, if you can, what I have married ...". Another example of this is when Catherine married Edgar Linton. Although she had been happy at the beginning of the marriage, she thought having parties all the time was going to be fun. Yet, after a while, she became bored. She also realized that she loved Heathcliff more than Edgar and would always love Heathcliff.This enlightenment created separation between Edgar and Catherine during the final hours of Cathy's life. An additional marriage which was made that was doomed was the one between Catherine and Linton. Because this was a forced marriage, Cathy had not yet learned all she could about Linton.Because she did not know until after the marriage that Linton was selfish and inconsiderate, she became distressed and grew isolated in the house.These three failed marriages described in this novel show that knowing the person you will marry is very important.While these marriages took place, jealousy also took a hold in some relationships. One example of this is when Mr. Earnshaw starts to favor Heathcliff over his own son, Hindley. Because of this, Hindley becomes jealous of young Heathcliff and sets out to make Heathcliff's life a nightmare. Hindley's jealousy becomes evident when he says ,"... be damned you beggarly interloper! and wheedle my father out of all he has; only afterwards show him what you are, imp of Satan.". Jealousy was also found very notably in the relationship between Heathcliff and Edgar Linton.

呼啸山庄读书笔记【篇一】
《呼啸山庄》是英国女作家勃朗特姐妹之一艾米莉·勃朗特的作品,是19世纪英国文学的代表作之一。小说通过一个爱情悲剧,向人们展示了一幅畸形的生活画面,勾勒了被这个畸形社会扭曲了的人性及其造成的种种可怖的事件:吉卜赛弃儿希斯克利夫被山庄老主人收养后,因受辱和恋爱不遂,外出致富。
回来后对与其女友凯瑟琳结婚的地主林顿及其子女进行报复的故事。全篇充满强烈的反压迫、争幸福的斗争精神,又始终笼罩着离奇、紧张的浪漫气氛。故事是以希斯克利夫达到复仇目的而自杀告终的。
他的死是一种殉情,表达了他对凯瑟琳生死不渝的爱,一种生不能同衾、死也求同穴的爱的追求。而他临死前放弃了在下一代身上报复的念头,表明他的天性本来是善良的,只是由于残酷的现实扭曲了他的天性,迫使他变得暴虐无情。这种人性的复苏是一种精神上的升华,闪耀着作者人道主义的理想。
呼啸山庄读书笔记【篇二】
《呼啸山庄》通过一个爱情悲剧,向人们展示了一幅畸形社会的生活画面,勾勒了被这个畸形社会扭曲了的人性及其造成的种种可怖的事件。整个故事的情节实际上是通过四个阶段逐步铺开的:
第一阶段叙述了希斯克利夫与凯瑟琳朝夕相处的童年生活;一个弃儿和一个小姐在这种特殊环境中所形成的特殊感情,以及他们对辛德雷专横暴虐的反抗。
第二阶段着重描写凯瑟琳因为虚荣、无知和愚昧,背弃了希斯克利夫,成了画眉田庄的女主人。
第三阶段以大量笔墨描绘希斯克利夫如何在绝望中把满腔仇恨化为报仇雪耻的计谋和行动。
最后阶段尽管只交代了希斯克利夫的死亡,却突出地揭示了当他了解哈里顿和凯蒂相爱后,思想上经历的一种崭新的变化——人性的复苏,从而使这出具有恐怖色彩的爱情悲剧透露出一束令人快慰的希望之光。
因此,希斯克利夫的爱一恨一复仇一人性的复苏,既是小说的精髓,又是贯穿始终的一条红线。作者依此脉络,谋篇布局,把场景安排得变幻莫测,有时在阴云密布、鬼哭狼嚎的旷野,有时又是风狂雨骤、阴森惨暗的庭院,故事始终笼罩在一种神秘和恐怖的气氛之中。
在小说中,作者的全部心血凝聚在希斯克利夫形象的刻画上,她在这里寄托了自己的全部愤慨、同情和理想。这个被剥夺了人间温暖的弃儿在实际生活中培养了强烈的爱与憎,辛德雷的皮鞭使他尝到了人生的残酷,也教会他懂得忍气吞声的屈服无法改变自己受辱的命运。他选择了反抗。凯瑟琳曾经是他忠实的伙伴,他俩在共同的反抗中萌发了真挚的爱情。然而,凯瑟琳最后却背叛了希斯克利夫,嫁给了她不了解、也根本不爱的埃德加·林顿。造成这个爱情悲剧的直接原因是她的虚荣、无知和愚蠢,结果却葬送了自己的青春、爱情和生命,也毁了对她始终一往情深的希斯克利夫,还差一点坑害了下一代。艾米莉·勃朗特刻画这个人物时,有同情,也有愤慨;有惋惜,也有鞭笞;既哀其不幸,又怒其不争,心情是极其复杂的。
凯瑟琳的背叛及其婚后悲苦的`命运,是全书最重大的转折点。它使希斯克利夫满腔的爱化为无比的恨;凯瑟琳一死,这腔仇恨火山般迸发出来,成了疯狂的复仇动力。希斯克利夫的目的达到了,他不仅让辛德雷和埃德加凄苦死去,独霸了两家庄园的产业,还让他们平白无辜的下一代也饱尝了苦果。这种疯狂的报仇泄恨,貌似悖于常理,但却淋漓尽致地表达了他非同一般的叛逆精神,这是一种特殊环境、特殊性格所决定的特殊反抗。希斯克利夫的爱情悲剧是社会的悲剧,也是时代的悲剧。
呼啸山庄读书笔记【篇三】
捻一曲心音,携一卷书华。在静坐中翻阅了《呼啸山庄》中那段爱与恨的纠葛,心中不禁波澜。它让我想起叶芝的那句诗:“多少人爱你青春欢畅的时辰/爱慕你的美丽,假意或真心/只有一个人爱你那朝圣者的灵魂/爱你衰老了的脸上痛苦的皱纹。”《呼啸山庄》通过一个爱情悲剧,向人们展示了一幅畸形社会的生活画面,而在主人公疯狂复仇的背后也隐隐有着他最炽烈的爱。
文中的主人公希刺克厉夫由爱生恨,再演变为复仇,最后得到人性的复苏。这个畸形社会扭曲了的他的人性,使他总是一副沉默严峻的面庞,在遭到受辱和恋爱的误解,他蓄势三年后对此进行疯狂的报复。之前的我十分不理解,希刺克厉夫的复仇是如此疯狂粗暴,甚至上一代的恩怨在下一代都不放过。但最后希刺克厉夫看到哈里顿和凯瑟琳相爱的人性复苏和对自己追求爱情的自杀性死亡,我对希刺克厉夫这个形象又有重新的思考,觉得他的复仇是可以理解的,这是一种非同一般的反抗,是现实环境扭曲了他的性格,是一种现世的错过和误解,是对爱太深执念的反抗成就了他荒诞的性格和悲凉的爱情结局。在时间流逝中,心中只剩下了爱淡忘了恨,希刺克厉夫最后也承认:“这是个很糟的结局。”他领悟到这样的复仇必然走向空虚和寂寞。而小说中的女管家艾伦有句话说的好:“惩罚恶人是上帝的事,我们应该学着饶恕人。”
在我看来这本书是因着希刺克厉夫的懂得和放下,得到了一个爱的升华。爱与恨,这人类感情的两极,在小说中表现的淋漓尽致,爱恨交织,才演绎了人间这场华美的爱情绝唱。在我们的生命本质中,爱是永远超越于人间最复杂、最恶劣的人心的,只要有一颗爱的萌芽,谁都会拥有自己的爱所绽放的花,正如泰戈尔说过:“爱就是充实了的生命,正如盛满酒的酒杯。”而懂得宽恕更是使爱熠熠生辉,人性中的一抹善念,能换来多少的干戈为玉帛,放下仇恨和偏见,不在那垂垂老矣才感叹这般怨恨人生。宽恕他人就等于善待自己,在这纷杂的社会,倘若总是抱怨与记恨,那是活在忧伤的黑暗中,活在斤斤计较的思量中的,而这样的人生未免太过遗憾。宽恕并不是软弱,而是另一种的坚强,以善意回以他人恶意,以心释然,是对他人最好的“报复”,也是给自己最美好的“解脱”。
一个山庄的故事结束了,而我们的人生却仍正在路上。细语呢喃,在宽恕中懂得爱人,以一种高贵的姿态与世界温柔相待。
