凯瑟琳----《呼啸山庄》中艾米莉﹒勃朗特女性意识的化身

郝转萍

摘要

艾米莉·勃朗特的《呼啸山庄》是一部文学巨著，惊世之作。它是艾米莉·勃朗特短暂文学生涯中唯一的一部小说作品。评论家们一直乐此不疲地对其加以评论，然而这部小说一经问世以及在以后很长一段时间里，并未引起人们的重视，有人认为这是一个年轻作家的天真幻想之作。直到十九世纪五十年代，它才受到人们的高度评价，并被西方评论家视为维多利亚时代最伟大的作品之一。

《呼啸山庄》讲述了这样一个故事：关于两代人的爱情、财产、舒适的社会生活对人产生的诱惑、婚姻观、教育的重要性、宗教的可信性、以及贫富关系等对他们的影响。这部小说精彩地描写了一个发生在荒野上的故事。

论文展示了艾米莉·勃朗特的思想如何影响小说中的人物，特别是女主人公 — 凯瑟琳。艾米莉·勃朗特把凯瑟琳视为她自己的一个化身。

在论文中，我将结合凯瑟琳的几个主要的生活阶段，即凯瑟琳的童年、长大后与两名男士间的爱情纠葛、及不幸婚姻所致她的狂乱以至最终的死亡来详细分析艾米莉·勃朗特的女性意识是如何被赋予到凯瑟琳的身上的。

Catherine: The Symbol of Emily Brontë’s Feminine Consciousness In Wuthering Heights

Hao Zhuanping

Abstract

Wuthering Heights, by Emily Brontë, is one of the great curiosities, as it is one of the great masterpieces of literature. It is Emily Brontë’s only novel in her short life. Critics never tire of trying to account for it. However, upon the first appearance of the novel and for quite a long time afterwards, it was much neglected and regarded as a naïve fantasy by a young writer. Not until 1950s did it begin to be highly valued; and recently the Western critics have exalted it as among the great novels of the Victorian age.

The story of Wuthering Heights is concerned mainly with the love between the two generations, properties, the attractions of social comforts, sense of marriage, the importance of education, the validity of religion, and the relationship between the poor and rich. The novel describes wonderfully the story happening on the moors.

The novel shows how Emily Brontë’s thoughts influence her characters, especially the heroine, Catherine Earnshaw. Emily Brontë arranges Catherine as her image in the deep heart.

In this thesis, I will deal with Catherine’s three main stages in her short life. Namely, by analyzing her childhood, her love affairs with the two men, and her delirium caused by the fatal marriage even her death, I will explore how Emily Brontë’s feminine consciousness is embodied in Catherine.
