Catherine.For him, she was the whole world,
his hope and dream.

but his hatred overwhelmed his love. His
beloved girl abandoned him and Hindley
mistreated him. All of this forced him to
be an avenger.

Catherine Earnshaw

Catherine Earnshaw is the main female protagonist of Wuthering Heights. She is the daughter of the master of Wuthering Heights who forms a deep romantic bond with her foster brother Heathcliff, one that leads them both into misery, violence and despair
When she was young, Catherine was rebellious, lively and pure. She needed to get the full humanity, the real freedom, equality and dignity. Heathcliff was the only one who could understand her. Therefore, they shared true friendship with each other. Everyday, they went to run and ride in the wild though it would irritate Hindly and be punished. At that time, they were happy and innocent. It seemed that they are just the two in the world.
But when she grew older, things changed. She began to get tired of meaningless freedom. She was involved in a society which was full of vanity, fame and fortune. When she saw the Lintons' life, she was attracted, and couldn’t resist the temptation of high society. So she decided to marry Edgar to satisfy her vanity.
After marriage, Catherine had to hide herself and act like an elegant and polite lady. But this kind of depressed feeling made her sad and even crazy. She realized that it was not the life she wanted and Wuthering Heights was the paradise that can release her temperament. Therefore, when Heathcliff came back, she was excited
On one hand, she wanted to be with Heathcliff, the one she have been deeply in love with. On the other hand, she didn’t want to give up Edgar’s sweet love. Between love and be loved, she was painful and didn’t know what to do. Finally, she resolved this by her death.

Narrative Structure

Double Narrations（二度叙事）

(1) In Wuthering Heights,the author created two main narrators—Lockwood and Nelly. All the characters’ behavior filteres through the eyes and
minds of the two narrators.The part of chronological narration was told by Lockwood. As the witness of the past things, Nelly told the story of Wuthering Heights.


(2) As the two narrators related the same story from different points of view，it formed a striking double point of view which advoided telling a story in accordance with the order of occurrence.







Narrative Structure
Flashback（倒叙）
(1) 1771—1802, 31 years
(2) The order of time was irregular but logical.
? In the first-three chapter, Lockwood saw Heathcliff and younger Cathy in Wuthering Heights, dreamed a bad dream and found everything there were so horrible.
the frozen of human nature(果）
? From the 4th chapter, it was the flashback of the former thirty years.
the degeneration（恶化） of human nature（因）
?In the last four chapters, Lockwood came back and listened the end of the story.
the resuscitation（苏醒） of human nature（结局）

Technique of Expression

Symbolism（象征）

文中常常出现一些植物如石楠（ling),醋栗（currant），樱草（primrose）等，它们看似不起眼，却具有独特的象征意义。比如，石楠是一种常绿灌木，开白色小花，生长于荒野中，它象征着自由,坚强,孤僻.作者借助于这些简单的物象来表述男女主人公的狂放不羁,坚韧不拔的个性。
The Features of Language
Rhetorical Devices（修辞手法）
(1)Simile（明喻）
My love for Linton is like the foliage in the woods: time would change it, I’m well aware, as winter change the trees. My love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rock beneath: a source of little visible delight, but necessary.

(2)Parallelism（排比）
I can not live without my life! I can not live without my soul!

The Features of Language
The Describe of Landscape 粗旷美

one may guess the power of the north wind, blowing over the edge, by the excessive slant of a few, stunted firs at the end of the house; and by a range of gaunt thorns all stretching their limbs one way, as if craving alms of the sun.
他们这儿一定随时都流通着清新凉爽的空气，从房屋那头那几棵过度倾斜的矮小冷杉，还有那一排瘦削的荆棘——它们的分支伸向一侧，仿佛在渴求太阳的布施，我们就可以猜想北风刮过房檐的威力了。

The Features of Language
The Describe of Emotion 简洁有力

“...why did you despise me? why didi you betray your own heart,Cathy?...you loved me,then what right had you to leave me? what right? answer me ...for the poor fancy you felt for Lindon?...."

这些话是凯瑟琳临死前，希斯克厉夫的质问，句句出自内心，简短有力，犹如火山爆发，表达了对凯瑟琳的爱与恨。

The Features of Language
The Describe of Emotion 直接大胆


Cathy said to Nelly:"...I am Heathcliff...Heathcliff is more myself than I am. whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same, and Linton's is as different as a moonbeam from lightning, or frost from fire."
我就是希斯克利夫。不管我们的灵魂是什么形成的,都是同类。而埃林顿的灵魂就大不一样了,就象是一个是月光,一个是闪电;一个是霜,一个是火。


毫不含蓄，简明扼要。几句话就道出了凯瑟琳和希斯克利夫之间的那种特殊的关系。他们之间有一种特殊的爱,一种超越一切的爱。
