摘要:哥特式文学，对于黑暗压抑，死亡美学，宗教情结以及唯美主义，有着一种天生的近乎偏执的极致追求，不仅仅是为了让读者产生恐怖情绪，而是要通过恐怖氛围的烘托来表达作者真正的浪漫纯洁的情感。哥特艺术是诞生于欧美文化土壤的亦正亦邪的精灵。这个精灵展现了生命对于人类的强大诱惑力，带领人们向生活伦理发起冲击，并实现超越伦理之后的道德性。哥特的恐怖之美以其独特的布局，视角，色彩等成为作者表达深沉的爱与恨的主要手法，浓重的恐怖色彩渲染了故事背景，推动着情节发展，使其在欧美文学中占有主要地位。艾米丽勃朗特的《呼啸山庄》是一部典型的女性哥特视角的惊世作品，这部小说中体现的哥特恐怖之美，使其出版后一直被认为是英国文学史上最奇特的小说，它一反同时代作品普遍存在的伤感主义情调，而以强烈的爱、狂暴的恨及由之而起的无情的报复，取代了伤感的低语，具有震撼人心的艺术力量。
