WUTHERING HEIGHTS (BOOK REVIEW)
"Wuthering Heights" which written by Emily Bronte who revered as one of the finest writers of the nineteenth century is one of the most popular and highly regarded novels in English literature.But when it frist published in 1847,it was not well received by the reading public.
The novel is told in the form of an extended flashback.After a visit to his strange landlord,a newcomer 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 until Old Earnshaw adopted a "Gipsy" child who he named Heathcliff,everything changed.Catherine the daughter of the house found in him the perfect companion:wild,rude,and as proud and cruel as she is.Soon Catherine falls in love with him and recognizes him as her soulmate.Even their love is stronger than death but she cannot lower herself to marry so far below her social station.Under an obsession of desire for social prominence,her married Edgar Linton instead.By doing this brought on a necessary consequence--- Heathcliff destroied them all including himself.
"Wuthering Heights" is a bit difficult to get into.The story feed into the flow of the work in a unusuall way.The story that circles upon itself in a series of repetitions as it plays out across two generations.
What impressed me most is the love between Heathcliff and Catherine.
Also they have found their ture love which is as strong as death,but none of them turn to a ture lover,what is ture love then
LOVE is kind.It does not envy,it does not boast,it is not proud.It is not rude,it is not self-seekig,it is not easily angered,it keeps no record of wrongs.
LOVE does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.It always protects,always trusts,always hopes,always persevers.LOVE never fails.
----(13:4-8 CORINTHIANS)
The ememies of the love is animosity and jealous,these can ruin a loving relationship very quickly.The animosity between them is expressed when Heathcliff and Edgar start a hostile conversation after Cathy's homecoming at Christmas near the beginning of the book.As the story progresses these two become bitter enemies who will not speak to one another.Another relationship which jealousy ruined is the one between Hareton and Linton.these two become jealous of each other over Cathy's affections.this relationship ends as Hareton and Linton hating each other.
In our life we often fall shout of Jesus' injunction to be perfect.to forgive and forget offenses enable imperfect people to grow and improve and exemplify unconditional love.It is easier said than done.It seems totally unfair that we should have to forgive when we have been hurt.The longer you wait to forgive someone,the harder it becomes.Time cures wounds,but sometimes it really doesn't heal,it just gives the bitterness and resentment longer to eat away people's goodness.Just ask yourself "How many of us have never be hurt ".For the truth is that unless we can forgive,our wound can never recover,they will continue to fester and never heal.As it says "Whoever seeks revenge should dig two graves" just like Heathcliff ,if he could recognize this principle and follow it,all the tragedies shall be avoid.
Love and forgive makes the world go round.Patience is a plaster for all sores.Next time when you get hurt,remember the saying "To err is human; to forgive divine" and following those instructions.

Wuthering Heights is Emily Brontë's only novel. It was first published in 1847 under the pseudonym Ellis Bell, and a posthumous second edition was edited by her sister Charlotte. The name of the novel comes from the Yorkshire manor on the moors on which the story centres (as an adjective, wuthering is a Yorkshire word referring to turbulent weather). The narrative tells the tale of the all-encompassing and passionate, yet thwarted, love between Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw, and how this unresolved passion eventually destroys them and many around them.
Now considered a classic of English literature, Wuthering Heights' innovative structure, which has been likened to a series of Matryoshka dolls,[citation needed] met with mixed reviews by critics when it first appeared, with many horrified by the stark depictions of mental and physical cruelty.[1][2] Though Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre was originally considered the best of the Brontë sisters' works, many subsequent critics of Wuthering Heights argued that its originality and achievement made it superior.[3] Wuthering Heights has also given rise to many adaptations and inspired works, including films, radio, television dramatisations, a musical by Bernard J. Taylor and songs (notably the hit Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush), ballet and opera.
The narrative is non-linear, involving several flashbacks, and involves two narrators - Mr. Lockwood and Ellen "Nelly" Dean. The novel opens in 1801, with Lockwood arriving at Thrushcross Grange, a grand house on the Yorkshire moors he is renting from the surly Heathcliff, who lives at nearby Wuthering Heights. Lockwood spends the night at Wuthering Heights and has a terrifying dream: the ghost of Catherine Earnshaw, pleading to be admitted to the house from outside. Intrigued, Lockwood asks the housekeeper Nelly Dean to tell the story of Heathcliff and Wuthering Heights while he is staying at the Grange recovering from a cold.
Nelly takes over the narration and begins her story thirty years earlier, when Heathcliff, a foundling living on the streets of Liverpool, is brought to Wuthering Heights by the then-owner, Mr. Earnshaw, and raised as his own. Ellen comments casually that Heathcliff might have been descended from Indian or Chinese origins[4]. He is often described as "dark" or "gypsy". Earnshaw's daughter Catherine becomes Heathcliff's inseparable friend. Her brother Hindley, however, resents Heathcliff, seeing him as an interloper and rival. Mr. Earnshaw dies three years later, and Hindley (who has married a woman named Frances) takes over the estate. He brutalises Heathcliff, forcing him to work as a hired hand. Catherine becomes friends with a neighbour family, the Lintons of Thrushcross Grange, who mellow her initially wild personality. She is especially attached to the refined and mild young Edgar Linton, whom Heathcliff instantaneously dislikes.
A year later, Hindley's wife dies, apparently of consumption, shortly after giving birth to a son, Hareton; Hindley takes to drink. Some two years after that, Catherine agrees to marry Edgar. Nelly knows that this will crush Heathcliff, and Heathcliff overhears Catherine's explanation that it would be "degrading" to marry him. Heathcliff storms out and leaves Wuthering Heights, not hearing Catherine's continuing declarations that Heathcliff is as much a part of her as the rocks are to the earth beneath. Catherine marries Edgar, and is initially very happy. Some time later, Heathcliff returns, intent on destroying those who prevent him from being with Catherine. He has, mysteriously, become very wealthy. Through loans he has made to the drunken and dissipated Hindley that Hindley cannot repay, he takes ownership of Wuthering Heights upon Hindley's death. Intent on ruining Edgar, Heathcliff elopes with Edgar's sister Isabella, which places him in a position to inherit Thrushcross Grange upon Edgar's death.
Catherine becomes very ill after Heathcliff's return and dies a few hours after giving birth to a daughter also named Catherine, or Cathy. Heathcliff becomes only more bitter and vengeful. Isabella flees her abusive marriage a month later, and subsequently gives birth to a boy, Linton. At around the same time, Hindley dies. Heathcliff takes ownership of Wuthering Heights, and vows to raise Hindley's son Hareton with as much neglect as he had suffered at Hindley's hands years earlier.
Twelve years later, the dying Isabella asks Edgar to raise her and Heathcliff's son, Linton. However, Heathcliff finds out about this and takes the sickly, spoiled child to Wuthering Heights. Heathcliff has nothing but contempt for his son, but delights in the idea of him ruling the property of his enemies. To that end, a few years later, Heathcliff attempts to persuade young Cathy to marry Linton. Cathy refuses, so Heathcliff kidnaps her and forces the two to marry. Soon after, Edgar Linton dies, followed shortly by Linton Heathcliff. This leaves Cathy a widow and a virtual prisoner at Wuthering Heights, as Heathcliff has gained complete control of both Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange. It is at this point in the narrative that Lockwood arrives, taking possession of Thrushcross Grange, and hearing Nelly Dean's story. Shocked, Lockwood leaves for London.
During his absence from the area, however, events reach a climax that Nelly describes when he returns a year later. Cathy gradually softens toward her rough, uneducated cousin Hareton, just as her mother was tender towards Heathcliff. When Heathcliff realizes that Cathy and Hareton are in love, he abandons his life-long vendetta. He dies broken and tormented, but glad to be rejoining Catherine, whose ghost had haunted him since she died. Cathy and Hareton marry. Heathcliff is buried next to Catherine (the elder), and the story concludes with Lockwood visiting the grave, unsure of what to feel.
