《呼啸山庄》读后感

永远无法忘记第一次看《呼啸山庄》时的激动心情。这是一本可怕的书！是书里的主人公让我毛骨悚然。在我还不知道他是怎么变得怎么可怕的时候，他已经是一个可怕的人物了。

作为一部英国古典文学名著，我理所当然的认为它和其它十九世纪初女作家的作品一样，充满温文尔雅的贵族气派，弥漫着浪漫温馨的庄园气息，带着典雅和小资品位，展示着俊男靓女的谈清说爱。这是一种高尚的生活情趣，传递着绅士和淑女理应准循的爱情原则。象奥斯丁，象夏洛蒂.勃郎特的作品，都是美好而幽雅，但或多或少，我觉得有那么一点乏味。

可是，《呼啸山庄》却完全超出了我的想象，它完全不同于十九世纪初的大众文学，在《呼啸山庄》中，你看不到浪漫的品味和高尚的生活，看不到阳光、草坪、洋伞和咖啡，看不到值得效仿的得体举止，也无法领略英国贵族特有的典雅气质。相反，你只看到狂风肆虐下的荒凉原野，只看到因压迫和虐待导致的刻骨仇恨，只看到跨越生死、超越天地的激情，只看到人性的撕裂、堕落和冰冻。

这就是《呼啸山庄》，爱和恨极端对立，又统一和谐；这就是《呼啸山庄》，象一把利剑，直接刺穿人性的本质。

关于这样一部作品，可以领悟地实在是太多太多，但是，正如一名翻译家所言，许多人在看过第一遍后，就再也没有勇气看第二遍。我也是如此，每次阅读，都会害怕深陷激情而无法自拔，害怕被那源于生命、连死亡都无法宽恕的爱燃烧殆尽。

小说之所以被不断争论的关键，就在于男主人公克厉夫的角色定位。这是一个内心阴暗狂野，耍尽手段报复世界的魔鬼。

他从出场就是个被欧肖家收养的，没有来历的街边叫花子，在老主人去世后受到凯瑟琳兄长亨得利的长期虐待和压迫，性格扭曲变态，仇视人类，甚至仇视世界。在他得知深爱的凯瑟琳嫌弃他而选择嫁给富有贵族林顿后，愤然离家出走，三年后重返呼啸山庄，开始了邪恶的复仇计划。最终，他用龌龊卑鄙的手段毁灭了两个家族，用上一代的恩怨惩罚下一代的生活，在这片野风肆虐的平原上，把所有人的心冰封。

用原著中一句话来形容克厉夫的人格最为贴切：“克厉夫先生他可是个人？如果是人，他可是疯了？如果不是，他可是个魔鬼？”

克厉夫也曾经被鸥肖家的老主人疼爱过，也曾和凯瑟琳一起平等的读书、学习，生活得很快乐。可自从老主人去世后，他的生活权利就被完全剥夺，他过着被亨德利仇视，被任意打骂、处罚，猪狗不如的生活，唯一关心他的是凯瑟琳，唯一爱他的是凯瑟琳，唯一能安慰他狂燥、仇恨之心的也是凯瑟琳。她是他的朋友、爱人和偶像，是他为之生存的一切。可是，凯瑟琳却在选择婚姻时，选择了自己不爱的林顿，理由很简单：林顿年轻、英俊、善良而且富有。

我们无法想象，克厉夫是带着怎样的心情离开呼啸山庄，我们只知道凯瑟琳在得知克厉夫出走后，精神崩溃、濒临死亡。于是，高尚、温柔、体贴、可亲的林顿日夜陪伴，帮她渡过了生命的难关。

我们无法想象克厉夫在那出走的三年中经历过怎样的曲折和磨难，我们只知道当他衣着体面、气度不凡的回到呼啸山庄时，那个粗野悲惨、绝望心碎的克厉夫已经消失，现在的克厉夫带着刻骨的仇恨、带着处心积虑的复仇计划、带着血腥屠戮的罪恶快感回到了旧日的故居，他要把曾经的仇人、情敌一一逼上绝路，把对手的财产一步步占为己有。

克厉夫终于完成了从人到魔的蜕变，完成了人性的彻底扭曲和堕落。而这在这惨痛的变态过程中，是仇恨还是狂爱起了更大的作用呢？

是爱，是对凯瑟琳发自灵魂的爱，是对凯瑟琳背叛爱、逃避爱的恨，把克厉夫从人折磨成了鬼。

至今无法忘怀凯瑟琳大声宣称：“克厉夫是我快乐的源泉，是维系生命的灵魂，我就是克厉夫！”的迷乱和痴狂；至今无法忘记，在凯瑟琳死后，克厉夫用头猛撞大树，绝望的自语：“没有了生命，我如何活下去？失去了灵魂，我如何活下去啊？！”

这是怎样的爱与恨？彼此纠缠、彼此折磨、彼此谋杀。凯瑟琳至死还对克厉夫当年的不辞而别耿耿于怀，对克厉夫为了复仇娶她人为妻怀恨在心。她折磨他，用明知残酷却伤透了心的冷言冷语刺激他、伤害他；克厉夫对凯瑟琳当年的背叛深恨不已，对凯瑟琳至今还怀疑他的深情而伤心绝望。他咒骂她，带着绝望、痛苦的火焰和泪水不肯宽恕她，甚至在她死后，诅咒她灵魂永无安宁，永远追随他、纠缠他、折磨他，直到他生命终结。

这是怎样没有终结的爱和恨？在凯瑟琳死后十八年，克厉夫逼死了老情敌，占有了他所有的财产后，掘开凯瑟琳的坟墓去查看她的脸，当看到她安静地躺在坟墓中时，克厉夫深深感到一种安慰。在这十八年中，他无时无刻不被凯瑟琳的幽灵缠绕，他无时无刻不感觉到她的气息，感觉到她近在咫尺，可是却无法触碰。他的神智被无时无刻地幻觉折磨，无法吃饭、安睡、劳作、生活，他怀疑她没有离开，她只是在故意和他捉秘藏。直到他去打开她的坟墓，亲眼验证她躺在坟墓里为止。

如果说克厉夫是魔鬼，那么凯瑟琳就是制造魔鬼的魔鬼。他不肯宽恕，她也无法原谅，用彼此的恨延续彼此的爱，用彼此的怨念维持彼此的思念，在这份异乎寻常的爱和激情选择万劫不复。

这就是让所有读者陷入迷惘、激情和绝望的核心，这就是《呼啸山庄》在经过岁月洗礼后越来越灿烂的秘密。

克厉夫终于在一个大雨滂沱、狂风肆虐的晚上死了，死在当年他和凯瑟琳一同被关禁闭的小屋中，脸上带着幸福的微笑，眼中保留着欣喜、兴奋的光彩。所有的评论都对这样的结尾不可思义：这个不惜毁灭所有人的狂魔竟可以在死后获得安宁？竟可以在死时得与爱人永远团聚？

由爱开始的恨应该以爱来终结，无法被宽恕的爱，只能永远延续下去，不管以何种方式，直至相爱的人获得解脱。克厉夫或许是该死的，是应该被惩罚的罪人，然而，他终其一生未能与凯瑟琳长相廝守，长达二十年的时间天人永隔，难道不正是为他的爱与恨付出应有的代价，接受最残酷的惩罚吗？那种在孤独、恐惧和绝望中等待与幽灵会面的焦虑和期待就象一把钝刀，一刀刀削割他的灵魂、一点点侵蚀他的肉体，最终把他推向死亡。

今天的读者已经获得了足够的认知和开明观点，抛开虚假的道义教条和做作的品位情调，我们已经可以理解女作家为什么被称为超越时代的天才。她笔下的克厉夫在被所有人唾弃的同时，却从人性角度展现出奇特耀眼的光彩，永恒的爱和至深的恨赋予他独特的魅力，一种散发着狂野欲望、不受约束的个性魅力。正如小说开头所描写的荒野之树，它是扭曲变态的，却是最不加修饰、自然生成的。克厉夫的一切都是环境造成的，他就是那荒野之树，努力地生存，抗拒着狂风暴雨，在变成了这样的丑态之后，用丑恶对抗、报复这制造丑恶的严酷环境。

暴风雪过后终将是万里晴空的清爽和平静，震撼过后留下深深的思索和无限的遐想。合上《呼啸山庄》，我只希望克厉夫和凯瑟琳在结束一代人的爱恨情仇后，在荒野间获得真正永恒的宁静。

 

第二篇：呼啸山庄 读后感 书评 Catherine's Choice

Catherine’s choice

The narrative of Wuthering Heights is a story of love and hatred. Many of the comments concentrate mainly on the human nature shown in the book, both on the pleasant and desperate side. Nevertheless after finishing the book, the most impressive plot to me is the love triangle between Senior Catherine, Edgar Linton and Heathcliff.

The author commenced her narration at a point where everything was trembling in the darkest and mistiest nighttime. Heathcliff was on his long way of revenge, while Hareton Enshaw, Senior Catherine’s nephew, was brought up to grow into a sort of rude, uneducated person. The Linton couple was dead, leaving their offspring miring in a family filled with hatred, widowed. Then, Mr. Lockwood, the narrator, led us to the past years by asking Nelly to recount the life story of our three main characters. Heathcliff was adopted by Catherine’s father. They live in Wuthering Heights, where Heathcliff and Catherine spent their early years together. The time of their childhood is the beginning and foundation of their lifelong lasting love. Catherine had had a kind of ‘wondrous constancy to old attachments’. She tended to rely on old things and old people. This partly contributes to the explanation why she was obsessed with Heathcliff all her life. After the death of Catherine’s father, the son, Hindley Enshaw inherited the fortune and took charge of the house and the family. He treated Heathcliff as a servant and refused to indulge the young lovers’ spending time together. Accidentally, Catherine became acquainted with the Linton’s settling in Thrushcross Grange. She fell for the elegant life and lost herself in vanity. Heathcliff, serving at the house in a lowest position, was deeply hurt by Catherine’s change. As time goes, the son of the Linton couple, Edgar Linton grew fondness to Catherine and finally proposed to her. Catherine was hesitating. She was too young and too shallow to understand her true love for Heathcliff. The remarks she made to Nelly about Edgar and Heathcliff explains the situation fully. She convinced herself that she loved Edgar, and the excuse for this ‘love’ were that he was handsome, young, cheerful, rich, and

loved her. By marry upon him she could be the greatest woman of the neighbourhood, and she would be proud of having such a husband. This stupid unthinking behaviour out of her strong will of chasing after the vain glory finally caused the miserable ending of both families. Catherine’s feelings for Heathcliff, however, were actually true love, the most passionate love I have ever seen. She claimed to share the same value and ways of love. As pleasant as Linton would make her, she could still sense the feeling of imposition. It was like a guilty soul got call up to heaven. Happy as it is, but never at peace. She cried for the misfortune happened to Heathcliff, frown for the pain that he was suffering. Even though she admitted that he was low, she chose to fell for him regardless of anything. ‘He's more myself than I am,’ she said, ‘Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.’

The love between Catherine and Heathcliff was like fire, burning inside their hearts. Anything tempting to stop this emotion would be burnt down to ash. Heathcliff disappeared when Catherine married Edgar, and when he was back, he was a whole other man, a man strong enough to destroy all the barriers ahead of his love. He did not care even on bit about the others except Catherine. They love each other only for the reason that they are just two people portrayed out of the same flesh and bones with the same soul. This love is pure and valuable, but overwhelming for the world, even for themselves. It’s what the author was aspiring after deep inside her heart.

Edgar Linton appeared to be a weak, faint little boy when the story first begins, but as he grown up, we find him a responsible gentleman, a caring husband. Though Heathcliff looked down upon Edgar’s love, it not fair when we ignore what he has down for Catherine. He loved his wife as a good husband. This love may not be the sparks came out when two souls met, but it was fine and steady, and most important of all, realistic. Catherine chose Edgar out of conceit, but it was, to be frank, a wise choice for most people. A man handsome, young, cheerful, rich is almost irresistible for most women, let alone Edgar also loved her deeply. In Pride and Prejudice, the reason why Lizzie chose Darcy was almost the same. What’s more, Edgar was in fact as decent as Darcy was. I can not see any objections for this marriage, and this is actually a usual marital relationship should be. Nonetheless, when compared with the

former one, this love seems to be too plain and dull. The author do not reject this kind of reality love, on the contrary, she understand it thoroughly.

Finally, at Catherine’s funeral, Heathcliff picked out Edgar’s hair and put his together with her. However when he was away, Catherine’s daughter again picked up the hair of Edgar and put it back. The hair of the three people tangled and could not be separated. I suppose that this description is for the symbolic meaning that the two kinds of love were of equal important in the lady’s life. They may not appear in the same way or of the same base, but they are all love. In the end, after their death, ‘the three headstones on the slope next the moor: on middle one grey, and half buried in the heath; Edgar Linton’s only harmonized by the turf and moss creeping up its foot; Heathcliff’s still bare.’ The sleepers underground were finally in peace, but the rivalry of two kinds of loves continued, and the choice once Catherine made will keeping on bothering different people.
