This story is set in the north of England where Bronte grew up with her two famous sisters, the well-known Charlotte and the lesser-known Anne.

　　Bronte presents this part of the world as a wild place, with few of the graces of civilization. Indeed, one of the novel’s points is that nature can be as strong a force as civilization.

　　Wuthering Heights begins with a tale from the past.

　　We hear how Mr. Earnshaw, father to Catherine and Hindley, comes home one day from his travels with a child named Heathcliff. Heathcliff is loved by Earnshaw and liked by Catherine, but hated by Hindley, who is pushed aside by this “intruder (闯入者)”.

　　Catherine and Heathcliff form a passionate attachment (依恋). They are both wild and natural, much like the moor (荒野) they love to wander in. They are so close that Catherine declares herself to be Heathcliff’s. If something comes to separate them, there will certainly be consequences.

　　What separates the two is Catherine’s marriage to the very civilized and tame Edgar Linton from Thrushcross Grange. Catherine has fooled herself into thinking that she and Edgar are similar, and so she believes that he is better than Heathcliff. This belief, and Heathcliff’s reaction to it, will cost Catherine her life.

　　The tormented (万分痛苦的) story of Heathcliff and Catherine then repeats itself in the next generation.
