【正文】 theopening chapters are so dark in their portrait of the end result ofthis obsessive love that they are somewhat offputting. But theyfeed into the flow of the work in a remarkable way, setting thestage for one of the most remarkable structures in all ofliterature, a story that circles upon itself in a series ofrepetitions as it plays out across two generations. Catherine andHeathcliff are equally remarkable, both vicious and cruel, and yetnever able to shed their impossible love no matter how brutally onemay wound the other.

Even if you donot like it, you should read it at least onceand those who dolike it will return to it again and again.【篇四】《呼嘯山莊》英語讀后感　　Wuthering Heights was not well received by the reading public, many of whom condemned it as sordid, vulgar, and unnaturaland author Emily Bronte went to her grave in 1848 believing that her only novel was a failure.
