论文摘要
《呼啸山庄》——才华洋溢的女作家艾米莉·勃朗特唯一的小说,在英国十九世纪文坛的灿烂星群中放出独特的、闪着异彩的光芒。
它被誉为“19世纪最奇特的小说”、“一出灵魂的戏剧”、“一个女作家所能写出的最好的散文诗”。
真正意义上接触《呼啸山庄》是在英美文学课上,世人都为希斯克利夫与凯瑟琳那种撕心裂肺的爱而震撼。
毛姆认为小说中最感人的就是希斯克利夫和凯瑟琳的爱情,他说“我从未读过像《呼啸山庄》这样把爱情的痛苦、强烈、残酷描写得如此逼真的小说”。
他们的爱在震撼人的同时有给后人留下了更多的思考。
爱情从其在人类精神中形成至今,始终带上了浓郁的悲剧色彩。
它的悲剧总是滋生于有它所特有的社会根源与时代的局限性,主人公的个性特点、矛盾的心理是推动其发展的动力。
他们的悲剧是一种必然性。
本文主要揭示其社会根源与时代的局限性对《呼啸山庄》中的爱情的重大影响,同时考察了男女主人公在行动上、性格上和对待爱情和婚姻的态度及差异。
最终指出他们的爱就像荒原上的北风一样,狂野、暴虐、无所阻挡,完全突破了既有的爱情模式,是超越现实的、非人类的爱情,是注定悲剧的。
他们的爱情悲剧是社会的悲剧,是时代的悲剧,也是他们自我所造的悲剧。
