wuthering heights is a classic tragedy of love. i am surprised by how

much i like it. this is a book that talks about the death of romantic notions, even the relatively happen ending doesn’t reduce its sorrow. when i was wrapped up in the story, i am so moved by their true love and felt sadness deep in my heart. after reading the whole story, i would like to talk about the main character of the story——catherine earnshaw and her choice of marriage. catherine does love heathcliff very much for he is more herself than she is, but her choice of love really leads to the tragedy. in catherine’s life, she made a very important decisi ……此处隐藏1880个字……ases.but this book is too difficult to me, and i had to look up a number of words. if there are explains of some difficult words, i think it will be much better.the figure of jane eyre had the greatest impact on me. after i close the covers of the book, after having a long journey of the spirit, jane eyre, a marvelous figure, has left us so much to recall and to think: i remember her goodness, her pursuit of justice, her self-respect and the clear situation on equality, her striving for life, her toughness and her confidence…the writing of the book is effective, beautiful and even fascinating. the author is skillful in telling stories. i can easily find out the characters of these dramatis personages.behind the wonderful story, the author expressed her

strong dissatisfactions to the society then. the author thinks that people should be good educated, and everyone is equal, no matter male or female.the new facts that i hadn’t learn before is goodness.i remember her goodness: for someone who lost arms and blinded in eyes, for someone who despised her for her ordinariness, and even for someone who had hurt her deeply in the past.to me, i think that i can hardly forgive those people who have hurt me deeply. may be it is good enough that not to do some revenge.as a result of reading this book, her story makes me thinking about life and i learn much from her experience, at least, that is a fresh new recognition of the real.i can feel that how beauty really is, as we are all fleshly men, so we can’t distinguish whether a man is of nobleness or humbleness, but fleshly men, so we can’t distinguish whether a man is of nobleness or humbleness, but as there are great differences in our souls, and from that, we can know that whether a man is noble or ordinary, and even obscure, that is, whether he is beautiful or not.in essence, bronte's novel became a direct assault on victorian morality. controversy based in its realistic exposure of thoughts once considered improper for a lady of the 19th century.emotions any respectable girl would repress. women at this time were not to feel passion, nor were they considered sexual beings.to conceive the thought of women expressing rage and blatantly retaliating against authority was defiance against the traditional role of women. jane eyre sent controversy through the literary community.for not only was it written by a woman but marked the first use of realistic characters. jane's complexity lied in her being neither holy good or evil. she was poor and plain in a time when society considered "an ugly woman a blot on the face of creation." it challenged victorian class structure in a strictly hierarchal society.a relationship between a lowly governess and a wealthy nobleman was simply unheard of. bronte drew criticism for her attack on the aristocracy who she deemed as hypocritical "showy but ... not genuine." she assaulted individual's already established morals by presenting a plausible case for bigamy.
