Abstract

Wuthering Heights is a famous novel which explores the influence that society, where the author lived, had on individuals through a general analysis of the tragic love between Heathcliff and Catherine. The paper gives a brief introduction of Wuthering Heights at first, and then lists the detailed embodiments the tragic love by analyzing the tragic childhood of Heathcliff and Catherine, as well as the strong internal sorrow Heathcliff and Catherine experience; and finally analyzes the internal and social causes of the love tragedy. This paper illustrates the darkness and cruelty of the society Emily lived and its influence on changing an individual’s personality by researching on the representations and causes of the love tragedy between Heathcliff and Catherine. That influence can make more tragedies, like in Wuthering Heights. In conclusion, this paper is not only an analysis of the tragic love between Heathcliff and Catherine, but also an analysis of that society where Emily lived. What’s more, this paper also plans an active role on promoting the behavior to restore historical facts by analyzing the current works.
