中文摘要:《呼啸山庄》是十九世纪英国作家艾米莉勃朗特生平创作的唯一一部小说。小说的故事情节主要是围绕希斯克里夫和凯瑟琳的爱情故事展开的，希斯克利夫的“爱——恨——复仇——人性回归”既是小说对的精髓，也是贯穿作品的线索。凯瑟琳的爱情从初始简单单纯的爱，到为了名利选择背叛，最终选择死亡则是另外一条线索。历来，评论家各抒己见，评论不一。这些观点从不同角度对这些人物，线索进行分析，得出很多有参考价值的观点，值得我门的借鉴，有利于我们更好的分析爱情这个话题。
本文从悲剧爱情的角度出发，通过分析男女主人公的历程，探讨爱情这个话题。本文运用人物分析手法分析，探讨人物之间错综复杂的关系。小说最精彩的是希斯克利夫和凯瑟琳之间对的爱情故事，他们之间的爱情已经远远超出一般意义上的爱情，可以说是人间超爱。但由于资本主义背景下，金钱至上的社会，他们的美好愿望在人间无法实现，只能在天堂实现。死，意味着永生，他们的爱情在天堂里延续着。

In the Victorian age，women had no social and economic status. The limitation of the women’s aspiration for education in a society is a problem, because public and professional spheres are distant to them. The only conceivable occupation that is suitable for restless young women like Bronte is schoolteacher. After the failure of the post, Emily Bronte chose to go back home. Her passions and her independent personality are repressed by the dull housework. She poured her passions into these characters, especially Heathcliff and Catherine, her fury, bitterness, and repression.
The research of the topic is significant in the following aspect. On the one hand, with the combination of historical background, we can find the duality of the characters of Heathcliff, who has finally discarded hatred and reveals that humanity is kind and precious. On the other hand, the tragic story, due to the contractictoriness of the values in the capitalist society and world, can offer us some insights into what love is all about.
