英文读后感之呼啸山庄读后感 读后感作文

Published in 1847, WUtheRING HEIGHTS was not well received by the reading public, many of whom condemned it as sordid, vulgar, and unnatural--and author Emily Bronte went to her grave in 1848 believing that her only novel was a failure. It was not until 1850, when WUTHERING HEIGHTS received a second printing with an introduction by Emily's sister Charlotte, that it attracted a wide readership. And from that point the reputation of the book has never looked back. Today it is widely recognized as one of the GREat novels of English literature.
Even so, WUtheRING HEIGHTS continues to divide readers. It is not a pretty love story; rather, it is swirling tale of largely unlikeable people caught up in obsessive love that turns to dark madness. It is cruel, violent, dark and brooding, and many people find it extremely unpleasant. And yet--it possesses a grandeur of language and design, a sense of tremendous pity and GREat loss that sets it apart from virtually every other novel written.

the novel is told in the form of an extended FLASHback. After a visit to his strange landlord, a newcomer to the area desires to know the history of the family--which he receives from Nelly Deans, a servant who introduces us to the Earnshaw family who once resided in the house known as Wuthering Heights. It was once a cheerful place, but Old Earnshaw adopted a "Gipsy" child who he named Heathcliff. And Catherine, daughter of the house, found in him the perfect companion: wild, rude, and as proud and cruel as she. But although Catherine loves him, even recognizes him as her soulmate, she cannot lower herself to marry so far below her social station. She instead marries another, and in so doing sets in motion an obsession that will destroy them all.

WUtheRING HEIGHTS is a bit difficult to "get into;" the opening chapters are so dark in their portrait of the end result of this obsessive love that they are somewhat off-putting. But they feed into the flow of the work in a remarkable way, setting the stage for one of the most remarkable structures in all of literature, a story that circles upon itself in a series of repetitions as it plays out across two generations. Catherine and Heathcliff are equally remarkable, both vicious and cruel, and yet never able to shed their impossible love no matter how brutally one may wound the other.

As the novel coils further into alcoholism, seduction, and one of the most elaborately imagined plans of revenge it gathers into a ghostly tone: Heathcliff, driven to madness by a woman who is not there but who seems reflected in every part of his world--dragging her corpse from the grave, hearing her calling to him from the moors, escalating his brutality not for the sake of brutality but so that her memory will never fade, so that she may never leave his mind until death itself. Yes, this is madness, insanity, and there is no peace this side of the grave or even beyond.

It is a stunning novel, frightening, inexorable, unsettling, filled with unbridled passion that makes one cringe. Even if you do not like it, you should read it at least once--and those who do like it will return to it again and again

名著读后感之《西游记》读后感

读了《西游记》我深有感触，文中曲折的情节和唐僧师徒的离奇经历给我留下了深刻的印象。
　　本书作者罗贯中为读者讲述了唐僧以及其他的三个徒弟一路上历尽艰险、降妖伏魔经历了九九八十一难取得了真经的故事。正是这离奇的故事情节赢得了广大读者的心，致使此书成为了我国古代的四大名著之一。 

　　《西游记》塑造了四个鲜明的人物形象：唐僧－诚心向佛、顽固执着，孙悟空－正义大胆、本领高超是妖怪们的克星，猪八戒－贪财好色，但又不缺乏善心，沙僧－心地善良、安于天命。这四个人物形象各有特点，性格各不相同，恰好形成了鲜明的对比，这使我不得不佩服作者写作技艺的高超，也许作者善于刻画人物形象便是他的精妙之处。其中我最喜欢的便是孙悟空，因为他神通广大、技艺高超，一路保护唐僧成功地取得了真经，他就成了我心目中的英雄。而且在他身上还有一种叛逆心理，以及他敢于和强大势力做斗争的勇敢的精神令我十分欣赏。
　　书中写唐僧师徒经理了八十一个磨难有让我联想到了他们的执着、不畏艰险、锲而不舍的精神。这着实是一种值得我们学习的精神。再想想自己的半途而废、虎头蛇尾，我不禁惭愧自己当初为何不能像他们一样坚持到底呢？也许这就是我所缺少的，只要我能把一件事情从头做到尾，不管我是成功了还是失败了，只要我尽力去做了，这对我来说也是一种成功啊！因为我去做了，而且坚持到了最后。 [更多文章：]
那四本厚厚的名著，是每个自诩热爱中国古代文化的人必须修读的。我自然不能免俗，刀光剑影，勾心斗角，爱恨缠绵，都不适合此时阅读，于是再次翻开了《西游记》，进入了光怪陆离色彩斑斓的神话世界。 这是一部所有人都爱读的经典大作，每个人都能在解读它时获取不同的感受和启示。有人喜欢它鲜明的人物个性；有人喜欢它瑰丽的整体形象；有人喜欢它活泼诙谐的语言；有人干脆把它当作道德修养小说或政治寓言。但在我看来，它什么都不是，它只是“游戏之作”，是一个单纯的神话世界。我在读这本小说时常常有一种共鸣感，想必这是我内心深处对于自由的欲望在呼喊吧！ 一、自由 在经历了又一个个性受制约的学期后，孙悟空这个形象完全激发了我内心潜在的，但根深蒂固的向往——对彻底的自由的向往。孙悟空破土而出，“不优麒麟辖，不优凤凰管，又不优人间王位所拘束”，闯龙宫，闹冥司，在花果山自在称王，可以说已经达到人性摆脱一切束缚，彻底自由的状态。孙悟空其实就是自由的化身，他的品质中最突出的特点就是向往自由，他始终在追求自由，他的一切斗争也都是为了自由。这样一个鲜活的形象给予了我一种寻找自由、追逐自由的力量和勇气。总之，我觉得现代人对于自己的生存状态，尤其是精神方面较为安于现状，缺乏一种开拓进取，寻找更大自由的精神。 二、神话 如今也是一个远离神话的时代。日常生活过于现实，使充满幻想的事物遭到排斥。神话绝非幼稚的产物，它有深邃的哲学意义和丰富的文化内涵。谢林在他的名著《艺术哲学》中说：“神话乃是各种艺术的必要条件的原始质料。《西游记》是中国神话小说的颠峰，也是神话文化的至高境界，然后中国的神话文化渐渐没落了，神话不被人重视，连《西游记》也少有人问津，只有孩子们会被孙悟空征服，于是也只有孩子们抱有对未来浪漫的、梦幻般的希望。” 三、英雄 “英雄”有许多不同解释。《辞海》中说英雄是杰出的人物，曹操说英雄要有包容宇宙之机，吞吐天地之胸。我认为，英雄是那些顽强地掌握自己命运，并为崇高理想而奋斗的人。孙悟空无疑是英雄的典型，他为了自由，为了自己的尊严，不怕与一切进行斗争。正因为这种对抗的差距悬殊，发自内心而拼尽全力的抗争才显得悲壮。明知不可为而为的勇士才能凸现出其英雄本色。 复读《西游记》，让我觉得其不属于一般名著的特点。我相信，也希望它永 远向大家展示着“自由、神话、英雄”三个主题，给大家带来激励和源自内心的力量。 共2页,当前第1页1
