1、精选优质文档-倾情为你奉上呼啸山庄简介1801年，洛克乌先生来到山庄拜访希克厉先生，要租下他的画眉山庄，希克厉先生对他很粗暴，还有一群恶狗向他发起进攻。但他还是又一次造访希克厉先生，他遇到了行为粗俗，不修边幅的英俊少年哈里顿恩肖，和貌美的希克厉先生之子的遗孀。由于天黑又下雪希克厉先生不得不留他住了下来，夜里他做了一个奇怪的梦，梦见树枝打在窗齿打碎玻璃，想折断外头的树枝，可手指却触到一双冰凉的小手，一个幽灵似的啜泣声乞求他放她进来。她说她叫卡瑟琳恩萧，已经在这游荡了20年了，她想闯进来，吓得洛克乌失声大叫。希克厉先生闻声赶来，让洛克乌出去，他自己扑倒在床上，哭着叫起来：“卡茜，来吧！啊，来呀，再
2、来一次！啊，我心中最亲爱的！卡瑟琳，最后一次！”可窗外毫无声息，一阵冷风吹灭了蜡烛。第二天，洛克乌先生来到画眉山庄，向女管家艾伦迪恩问起此事，女管家便讲了发生在呼啸山庄的事情。呼啸山庄已有300年的历史，以前的主人欧肖夫妇从街头捡来一个吉普赛人的弃儿，收他做养子，这就是希克厉。希克厉一到这家就受到才先生的儿子享德莱的欺负和虐待，可享德莱的妹妹卡瑟琳却与希克厉疯狂地相爱了。老主人死了之后，已婚的享德莱成了呼啸山庄的主人。他开始阻止希克厉和卡瑟琳的交往，并把希克厉赶到田里去干活，不断地差辱他，折磨他，他变得不近人情，近乎痴呆，卡瑟琳也变得野性十足。一次，他们到画眉山庄去玩，卡瑟琳被狗咬伤，主人林敦
3、夫妇知道她是欧肖家的孩子，就热情地留她养伤，而把希克厉当成坏小子赶跑了。卡瑟琳和林敦的儿子埃德加、女儿伊莎贝拉成了好朋友。卡瑟琳住了五个长星期回来后，变成温文尔雅，仪态万方的富家小姐。当他再次见到希克厉时，生怕他弄脏了自己的衣服。希克厉的自尊心受到了伤害，他说：“我愿意怎么脏，就怎么脏。”他发誓要对享德莱进行报复，他心中的野性和愤恨全部对准享德莱。1778年6月，享德莱的妻子生下哈里顿恩肖后因肺病死去，亨德莱受了很大的打击，从此变得更加残忍，更加冷酷无情。卡瑟琳徘徊于希克厉和埃德加的爱情之间，她真心爱希克厉，但又觉得与一个仆人结婚，有失身份。当埃德加向她求婚时，想到他的漂亮和富有，便答应了。但
4、在她灵魂深处，非常明白自己错了，便向女仆艾伦迪恩吐露真情：“我对埃德加的爱像树林中的叶子，当冬季改变树木的时候，随之就会改变叶子。我对希克厉的爱却像地下永久不变的岩石我就是希克厉！他无时无刻不在我心中，并不是作为一种乐趣，而是作为我的一部分。”希斯克里夫不巧听到了她们对话的前半部分，痛苦万分，当夜离开了呼啸山庄，卡瑟琳因希克厉的离去而大病一场。后来林敦夫妇相继得热病而死，在他们死后三年，卡瑟琳同埃德加结婚了。数年后，希克厉突然出现在画眉山庄，这时他已经长成了一个萧洒英俊而又很有钱的青年。卡瑟琳见到他时欣喜若狂，他意味深长地说：“我只是为了你才奋斗的”。他经常出入于画眉山庄，这使伊莎贝拉发疯似的
5、爱上了他。他为了报复整夜整夜地和享德莱打牌、喝酒，慢慢地使他破了产，最后把整个庄园抵押给希克厉。尽管卡瑟琳想尽办法想挽回希斯克里夫的感情，但他还是和伊莎贝拉结婚了，婚后以虐待伊莎贝拉来发泄自己的仇恨。此时卡瑟琳正值临产，希克厉趁埃德加不在，进入了画眉山庄，他死命地抱住卡瑟琳，悲切地叫道：“啊，卡茜，啊，我的命！我怎能受得了哇！”卡瑟琳着说：“如果我做错了，我会因此而死，你也离开过我，但我宽恕了你，你也宽恕我吧！”希克厉答道：“这是难以办到的，但我饶恕你对我做的事。我可以爱害了我的人，可是害了你的人，我又怎么能够饶恕他呢？”他们就这样疯狂地拥抱着，互相不知是深爱还是怨恨。直到埃德加回来后，他们才
6、分开，卡瑟琳再也没有醒来。当天夜里，她昏迷中生下一个女孩便死去了。希斯克里夫整夜守在庄园里，当得知凯瑟琳死了，他用力地把头撞在树干上，“天啊！没有我的命根子，我不能活下去呀！”几个月后享德莱死了，希成了呼啸山庄的主人。他把享德莱的儿子哈里顿培养成一个粗野无礼，没有教养的野小子。伊莎贝拉忍受不了丈夫的虐待，逃到伦敦附近，在那儿生了一个儿子取名林敦。12年后林敦已长成一个少年，但病弱不堪，卡瑟琳的小女儿也已长成一个美丽的少女，希斯克里夫虽不喜欢林敦，他还是趁小卡瑟琳的父亲病危之际，把小卡瑟琳接到呼啸山庄，逼迫她和林敦结婚，因为他要“胜利地看见我的后代堂皇地作为他们产业的主人，我的孩子用工钱雇他们的
7、孩子种他们的土地”。几个月后，埃德加也死了，希克厉作为小卡瑟琳的父亲搬进了画眉山庄。不久林敦也死了，小卡瑟琳成了年轻的寡妇。小卡瑟琳和哈里顿就像当年的希克厉和卡瑟琳一样，希克厉疯狂地阻止他们的来往，当她抓住小卡瑟琳想打她时，他从她的眼睛里看到了卡瑟琳的影子，而此时的哈里顿不正是当年的自己吗！他变得更孤独了，他渴望着和卡瑟琳的孤魂在一起。连续几天他不吃不喝，在沼地里游荡，回来后把自己关在卡瑟琳住过的房间里，第二天，人们发现他死了。他死后被埋在卡瑟琳的墓旁，小卡瑟琳终于和哈里顿结婚了。WutheringHeightsisEmilyBrontsonlynovel.Itwasfirstpublishe
