However, it was the novel that had nothing in common with the other ones during the same period. And the critics afterwards thought it was the novel that doesn't belong to its epoch. The works experienced a long period during which it didn't draw much attention at first and then it was discussed intensely. Till the late 19th century, gradually the novel became to be interested in by many people. The reason why Wuthering Heights has gained more and more good reputation is its profound connotation and modern frame. Time goes by, and larger space is provided in which people enjoy the nice taste of the works.The novel, Wuthering Heights is analyzed under the background where human beings are the core in this thesis. At the beginning of the article, the author, Emily Bronte's nature and the creative foundation are discussed. The conflict represents the contradiction between the human nature and capitalism. The contradiction caused the dissimilation. The concept,"human"in the works is the focus of this article and the subject,"the human fate"is paid more attention to. And the aim is to open up the deep reason of the tragedy. At the same time, I grasp the details of the novel. The connotation of the ending is taken into account. The ending makes the thought united and the subject complete.The author had a deep thought about the human fate and showed out her pessimistic views on human fate. Wuthering Height manifests that the human desire is the human nature, but the social civilization makes the nature unavailable. That shows the deep tragic features. Emily's focus on human fate is one of the most important reasons why the novel still has charm. | Keywords/Search Tags: | nature, civilization, dissimilation, tragedy | PDF Full Text Request | Related items |
