Book Review

Wuthering Heights, as a masterpiece of 19th century English literature, is different from any other works of the same period. It doesn't show the noble life to the readers, also does not narrate the beautiful love of young people. Instead, it tells a love tragedy and a revenge full of hatred. The story of this book revolves around the love and hate of Heathcliff. He was adopted by old Earnshaw, but he was bullied by Hindley, so he germinated the seed of hatred. But in this period of time, the kind and lovely Catherine became his light, he loved her deeply. However, Catherine chose to marry Linton for fame and wealth later, and became the mistress of Thrushcross Grange, which undoubtedly caused great harm to Heathcliff, so in despair, he turned hatred into reality, started his revenge, punished the next generation with the previous generation's resentment. But even so, Heathcliff has always been deeply in love with Catherine. His final suicide is also a kind of martyrdom. After the goal of revenge is achieved, he can finally came back to Catherine. The love story in this book may be sad, but it vividly shows a picture of life in a deformed society and the distortion of human nature in this context. In my opinion, Heathcliff's hate from love must be ended by love. And this love tragedy is also worth a happy ending—— after all kinds of love and hate, Heathcliff and Catherine will finally get eternal peace.
