The Different Love between Two Generations in Wuthering Heights 发布时间：2007-8-15 21:26:56
, I also admire and appreiate Emily’s unique image and special writing style .
In fact , the whole plots of this novel were dominated by a word—love . Of course , hate was also aroused by love . Characters of the former generation had irrational and primitive love . They lacked of the sense and loved with each other insanely . Because of the irrational love , their love was turned into hate . Characters of the latter generation had rational and civilized love . They had the sense and loved each other quietly and tenderly . Because of the rational love , their hate was eliminated . Just because of the different love they chose , their fates were completely different . One exists in the people’s imagination, whereas the other exists in the reality . If people love each other in a proper way , I think they will be happy . Love only accords with human beings . But primitive love is the spiritual love which is unlikely to exist in the reality .
By comparing the two generations in Wuthering Heights , I not only see the different love , but also realize the profound meanings of the novel . Facing the problems in daily life , we should use our sensibility to settle all problems besides love and marriage . If the process is hampered , we can not go into the extreme . We’d better convert our attention into another beneficial aspect .
In Victorian Times , the system of social class was prevailing . People’s thoughts were contorted . But at that time , Emily had the self—consciousness about women . In modern times , women play more and more important roles in the society .
The tendency that women need free character , self—pursuit and the equity of male and female is overwhelming . Furthermore , the successful road of self—pursuit depends on ego .
So , I think the novel Wuthering Heights is a classical novel of the love . It is also one of the greatest novels in the English literature .
