摘要
《呼啸山庄》之所以为一部悲剧是有多种原因的。这篇文章从两个方面来解释这一悲剧成因:个人原因和社会原因。在个人原因这一方面,凯瑟琳和西斯克利夫都要承担责任。凯瑟琳拥有双重人格,一方面她深爱着西斯克利夫,另一方面,她没有勇气打破传统的束缚。另外,她还有自身的性格缺陷,比如:自私和虚荣。正是因为她的这一双重人格,使她最终选择了林顿,这一集财富名誉于一身的绅士。但是她却不能够忘记西斯克利夫。因此,凯瑟琳陷于矛盾之中。至于西斯克利夫, 他粗暴,疯狂和扭曲的性格是他选择复仇,造成这一爱情悲剧的最大内在原因,虽然这一切都源于周围人对他的偏见。而最重要的是,凯瑟琳和西斯克利夫生活在一个父权社会之中, 这一社会背景是他们之间爱情的最大阻碍。
