呼啸山庄英文读后感（一）：
我看完了《呼啸山庄》，感到一个未婚女子能能写出爱的如此深刻，恨的如此入骨的小说，很惊叹。
《呼啸山庄》没有受到城市里大众化的影响和控制，完全描绘出了一个原汁原味的山村荒野的景象。使人们领略了一个完全不一样的世界。故事中的主人公都保留着原始的性格：爱起来不顾一切，恨起来不计后果。这一切的一切在我们这些长期受到传统礼仪的约束的人们看来就显得十分异常，十分有新鲜感。

Thoughts or reflections on reading Wuthering Heights
The book was written by Emily Bronte， it published in 1847。But at that time， it seemed to hold little promise， selling very poorly and receiving only a few mixed reviews。 I found this in our school library， I chose this book because the title attracted me。 The book is structured around two parallel love stories， the first half of the novel centering on the love between Catherine and Heathcliff， while the less dramatic second half features the developing love between young Catherine and Hareton。 In contrast to the first， the latter tale ends happily， restoring peace and order to Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange。 In the story， the two houses， Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange， represent opposing worlds and values。
I spent twenty days reading this book。 After reading this book， I felt for Heathcliff at first。 Heathcliff begins his life as a homeless orphan on the streets of Liverpool， and then he tyrannized by Hindley Earnshaw。 But he bees a villain when he acquires power and returns to Wuthering Heights with money and the trappings of a gentleman。 His malevolence proves so great and long—lasting。 As he himself points out， his abuse of Isabella—his wife is purely sadistic， as he amuses himself by seeing how much abuse she can take and still e cringing back for more。
Catherine represents wild nature， in both her high， lively spirits and her occasional cruelty。 She loves Heathcliff so intensely that she claims they are the same person。 However， her actions are driven in part by her social ambitions， which initially are awakened during her first stay at the Lintons， and which eventually pel her to marry Edgar。 Catherine is free—spirited， beautiful， spoiled， and often arrogant， she is given to fits of temper， and she is torn between her both of the men who love her。 The location of her coffin symbolizes the conflict that tears apart her short life。 She is buried in a corner of the Kirkyard。 In contrast to Catherine， Isabella Linton—Catherine’s sister—in—law represents culture and civilization， both in her refinement and in her weakness。 Ultimately， she ruins her life by falling in love with Heathcliff。 He never returns her feelings and treats her as a meretool in his quest for revenge on the Linton family。
Just as Isabella Linton serves as Catherine’s foil， Edgar Linton serves as Heathcliff’s。 Edgar grows into a tender， constant， but cowardly man。 He is almost the ideal gentleman。 However， this full assortment of gentlemanly characteristics， along with his civilized virtues， proves useless in Edgar’s clashes with his foil。 He sees his wife obviously in love with another man but unable to do anything to rectify the situation。 Heathcliff， who gains power over his wife， sister ， and daughter。
The whole story make people’s mood heavy。 Fortunately， the end is happy。
The author Emily Bronte lived an eccentric， closely guarded life。 She was born in 1818， two years after Charlotte—the author of Jane Eyre and a year and a half before her sister Anne， who also became an author。 Her father worked as a church rector， and her aunt， who raised the Bronte children after their mother died， was deeply religious。 Emily Bronte did not take to her aunt’s Christian fervor， the character of Joseph， a caricature of an evangelical， may have been inspired by her aunt’s religiosity。 The Brontes lived in Haworth， a Yorkshire village in the midst of the moors。 These wild， desolate expanses—later the setting of Wuthering Heights—made up the Brontes daily environment， and Emily lived among them her entire life。 She died in 1848， at the age of thirty。
I like this book because it rest on the unforgettable characters。 Wuthering Heights is based partly on the Gothic tradition， a style of literature that featured supernatural encounters， crumbling ruins， moonless nights， and grotesque imagery， seeking to create effects of mystery and fear。 I would like to remend this book to other readers。

呼啸山庄英文读后感（四）：
Wuthering Heights，the only fiction of Emily Bronte， was published in 1847。 It is a story about love and revenge。 After finishing the novel， most people including me would appreciate Heathcliff for his pure， simple and untamed love which would never change until death。 On the other hand， it is difficult to understand his abnormal， callous and his love for Catherine。 Heathcliff was an illiberal and unscrupulous person。 He loved Catherine and was willing to give up everything for her。 In the north of England where the wind blew hard， the black and dirty child， Heathcliff， fell in love with a little girl， Catherine who gave him love and also misery。
Wuthering Heights is an ideal heaven for those misanthropists to escape from the real life。 In this beautiful but desolate world， Heathcliff as a stranger appeared。 When he was 6 or 7 years old and at the edge of starving， Mr。 Earnshaw， the owner of wuthering heights， saved him。 Heathcliff’s childhood was unfortunate。 Before he came to the wuthering heights， he was almost dead。 When he was at Mr。 Earnshaw’s home， he was bullied and maltreat by Mr。 Earnshaw’s son， Hindley Earnshaw。 However， at that moment， Catherine Earnshaw saved him， and everything became different。 Catherine was a crazy and wild girl。 The writer described as follows: “Her spirits were always at high-water mark， her tongue always going--singing， laughing， and plaguing everybody who would not do the same。 A wild， wicked slip she was。” However， she was goodness and pretty。 The relationship between them was developing under the lack of civilized education。 Their life was tightly held together， they had to fac
e Hindley。 But their friendship broke when Catherine was 12 years old， when she met Edgar Linton a wealthy and handsome boy from Thrushcross Grange。 Three years later， she agreed to marry Edger。 In Heathcliff’s mind， it was Edgar who bore away his love。 Thus， when he came back to wuthering heights and began his cruel revenge。
Catherine lost her childhood at the time when she started to consider her future。 She totally knew that it was impossible to be together with Heathcliff。 She had to find the future， a wealthy， handsome husband who could give her steady life and reputation while Heathcliff had nothing。 But when she married Edgar， she didn’t feel happy at all。 She remembered that she had betrayed Heathcliff and herself。 Money and house brought her into nothingness。 She began to cherish the memory of Heathcliff， cherished the little boy stood by her。 There was no etiquette and standard but sincerity。 In the wuthering heights， happiness was gone forever。 Because of Hindley， Heathcliff lost the chance to learn and he was almost lost himself。 Fortunately， Catherine did not give up him。 He abandoned himself for his self-abased。 In their love， even at that storming night， Heathcliff left。 They never thought about their future， their life。 Thus， shall we ask that love should be based on what? Catherine loved
Edgar， but she also said to Nelly:” you think me a selfish wretch; but did it never strike you that if Heathcliff and I married， we should be beggars? whereas， if I marry Linton， I can aid Heathcliff to rise， and place him out of my brother's power。” Before the difficulty， she chose to confront。 On the contrary， Heathcliff chose to escape， because he had no courage to overe it。 Catherine was 15 while Heathcliff was 16， they were children。 They didn’t understand what love was。 They just found the happiness they had in mon。
We can suppose that if Heathcliff didn’t leave， and he lived with Catherine， were they happy? Were they at ease? What life did they live? Can they run crazily on the wild land? Catherine looked down upon Heathcliff’s cowardice， once she talked about Heathcliff to Isabella: “Tell her what Heathcliff is: an unreclaimed creature， without refinement， without cultivation: an arid wilderness of furze and whinstone。 But she had never suspected her courage。” She loved Heathcliff undoubtedly， but she was afraid to be with him。 Heathcliff had questioned her:” You teach me now how cruel you've been--cruel and false。 Why did you despise me? Why did you betray your own heart， Catherine?” If they loved each other， why did cheat their heart? Compared with Catherine， is Heathcliff more forgivable for his insistence and self-abased?[由Www.QunZou.Com整理]
In the end， Catherine died。 She was 19， and Heathcliff was 20。 However， the story was not end。 After Catherine’s death， Heathcliff was not likable。 His maniac revenge seemed no endless。 He even took vengeance on their children。 Is this love? Is this resentment? Did Heathcliff love Catherine more or he hate the world more? What did he revenge for? Does for Catherine or him? They tortured each other， but they still loved each other。 We can not find out the answer。 But we can know that at last， they finally stayed with each other and no one can take them apart。 “And if she had been dissolved into earth， or worse， what would you have dreamt of then?' I said。 ——Of dissolving with her， and being more happy still!' he answered。” No matter how much misunderstanding， regret and pain they received before， now they rest in peace。 Just like Catherine said:” Whatever our souls are made of， his and mine are the same”。
When I finished reading this book and begin to chew the profound meaning and the essence in this book， I find that I have learned a lot of life truth。 For my part， love is to learn tolerance。 If you really fall in love with someone， you will understand if she or he can get happiness and have ever loved you， that is enough。 Reading a classic is a really tired and joyful thing。 When I am moved by the figure’s emotion， I will feel sad and also gain enlightenment。 In addition， which moves me most is that it teaches me to keep the dignity of life and the heart of freedom。 No matter how austere the challenge we meet， we should yearn for freedom。

《呼啸山庄》读后感
《呼啸山庄》是一部写得很好的感情杯具。读完整个故事，我想谈谈故事的主人公——凯瑟琳和希斯克利夫。凯瑟琳和希斯克利夫十分相爱，但他们没有采取正确的态度对待感情，从而导致杯具。
在凯瑟琳的生命中，她作了一个十分愚蠢的决定——和埃德加结婚。事实上，她给埃德加的爱永远不可能与给希斯克利夫的相比。她这样做，是因为她认为埃德加的财富会对希斯克利夫有用。但实际上，它没有用。她不懂得感情，感情是圣洁的。如果有人给感情添加任何目的，感情本身就失去了意义。凯瑟琳的错误决定伤害了两个爱她的人，甚至破坏了他们的后代的幸福。
希斯克利夫是一个充满复仇心的男人。他十分爱凯瑟琳，但他的所作所为恰恰相反地增加了凯瑟琳的痛苦。在我看来，如果他真的爱凯瑟琳，他不应当在他消失之后再次走进凯瑟琳的生活。此外，凯瑟琳死后，希斯克利夫给凯瑟琳的女儿以及他自我的儿子带来了极度的痛苦，。
读后，我对爱有了一个更好的理解。如果你真的爱某人，他或她的幸福绝对经得住所有困难的考验。
My Feelings after reading Wuthering Heights
Wuthering Heights is a well-written tragedy of love。 After reading the whole story， I would like to talk about the main characters of the story—Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff。 Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff love each other very much， but they do not have the right attitude towards love， which leads to the tragedy。
In Catherine’s life， she made a very foolish decision---marrying to Edgar。 In fact， her love for Edgar can never be pared to that for Heathcliff。 She did so， because she thought the wealth of Edgar would be useful to Heathcliff。 But in reality， it did not work。 She did not have a good understanding of love， which is something pure and saint。 If anyone add any purpose into love， love itself lost its meaning。 Catherine’s wrong decision hurt two people who love her， and even destroyed the happiness of their offspring。
Heathcliff is a man full of retaliation。 He loved Catherine very much， but what he did， on the contrary， added to the misery of Catherine。 In my opinion， if he really loved Catherine， he should not walk into Catherine’s life again after his disappearance。 Further more， after the death of Catherine， what Heathcliff did brought agony to Catherine’s daughter， as well as his own son。
After reading， I have a better understanding of love。 If you love really someone， his or her happiness is the thing that most matters。

呼啸山庄英文读后感（九）：
The bookWuthering Heihts written in 1847by Emily Bronte。 It is a very good novel。 The story in this novel deeply moved everyone who had read it and the structure of this novel is very fresh。
At first I will tell you the main plot about Wuthering Heights。 The story is narrated by Lockwood a gentleman visiting the Yorkshire moors where the novel is set and of Mrs Dean housekeeper to the Earnshaw Family who had been witness of the interlocked destinies of the original owners of the Heights。 Described the love and enmity between Earnshaw and Linton’s family especially Heathcliff and Catherine’s deeply love。 Heathcliff is brought to Heights from the streets of Liverpool by Mr Earnshaw。 Heathcliff is treated as Earnshaw’s own children Catherine and Hindley。 Heathcliff is bullied by Hindley after Earnshaw death and his lover Catherine marries Edgar Linton for many factors。 This made Heathcliff mad his destructive force is unleashed and his first victim is his beloved Catherine who dies giving birth to a girl another Catherine(Kathy)。 Edgar’s sister whom he had married flees to the south。 Their son Linton and Kathy are married but always sickly Linton dies。 After that Hareton Hindley’s son
and the young widow fall in love。 Increasingly isolated and alienated from daily life Heathcliff experiences visions and he longs for the death that will reunite him with Catherine。
The story is wonderful and the structure is also extremely excellent。The author Emily Bronte use a series of flashbacks and time shifts draws a powerful picture of this story。 Because of its wonderful story excellent structure and graceful language the book left a deep impression on me。
From this book we understand the deeply love and enmity。 We find that the enmity always touched by deeply love at the end of the story true feelings and true love always moved everyone。 So we must treat others with true feelings。
That’s all I want to say about Wuthering Heights。 It’s really a good book。 Readers will really gain much from this book。
呼啸山庄英文读后感（十）：
published in 1847， wuthering heights was not well received by the reading public， many of whom condemned it as sordid， vulgar， and unnatural——and author emily bronte went to her grave in 1848 believing that her only novel was a failure。 it was not until 1850， when wuthering heights received a second printing with an introduction by emily's sister charlotte， that it attracted a wide readership。 and from that point the reputation of the book has never looked back。 today it is widely recognized as one of the great novels of english literature。
even so， wuthering heights continues to divide readers。 it is not a pretty love story; rather， it is swirling tale of largely unlikeable people caught up in obsessive love that turns to dark madness。 it is cruel， violent， dark and brooding， and many people find it extremely unpleasant。 and yet——it possesses a grandeur of language and design， a sense of tremendous pity and great loss that sets it apart from virtually every other novel written。
the novel is told in the form of an extended flashback。 after a visit to his strange landlord， a newer to the area desires to know the history of the family——which he receives from nelly deans， a servant who introduces us to the earnshaw family who once resided in the house known as wuthering heights。 it was once a cheerful place， but old earnshaw adopted a “gipsy” child who he named heathcliff。 and catherine， daughter of the house， found in him the perfect panion： wild， rude， and as proud and cruel as she。 but although catherine loves him， even recognizes him as her soulmate， she cannot lower herself to marry so far below her social station。 she instead marries another， and in so doing sets in motion an obsession that will destroy them all。
wuthering heights is a bit difficult to “get into;” the opening chapters are so dark in their portrait of the end result of this obsessive love that they are somewhat off-putting。 but they feed into the flow of the work in a remarkable way， setting the stage for one of the most remarkable structures in all of literature， a story that circles upon itself in a series of repetitions as it plays out across two generations。 catherine and heathcliff are equally remarkable， both vicious and cruel， and yet never able to shed their impossible love no matter how brutally one may wound the other。
as the novel coils further into alcoholism， seduction， and one of the most elaborately imagined plans of revenge it gathers into a ghostly tone： heathcliff， driven to madness by a woman who is not there but who seems reflected in every part of his world——dragging her corpse from the grave， hearing her calling to him from the moors， escalating his brutality not for the sake of brutality but so that her memory will never fade， so that she may never leave his mind until death itself。 yes， this is madness， insanity， and there is no peace this side of the grave or even beyond。
it is a stunning novel， frightening， inexorable， unsettling， filled with unbridled passion that makes one cringe。 even if you do not like it， you should read it at least once——and those who do like it will return to it again and again。
