Wuthering Heights

I studied “Wuthering Heights” written by Emily Jane Bronte on history of American literature’s class. I’d like to write my impression to it

This story all begins with Heathcliff who no his relatives come to the Earnshaw, after the master take him to his house. Others and the brother Hindley treated Heathcliff as a servant, but his daughter of Catherine treated normal. Heathcliff had against them of grudge increasing. Catherine and Heathcliff gradually fell in love each other, while growing. However, she acquainted with the eldest son of the house Edgar Linton, Catherine is attracted to wealth and fame of Edgar. Heathcliff accept the suitor betrayed. And Heathcliff disappear about three years. Then he returned to be rich man. He eventually begins to take revenge against them.



When I watched this movie, I witnessed one of produce the power of love madness.　Second is Discrimination and prejudice I’d like to state 2 points



First, in regard to produce the power of love madness, I think that the characteristic of "love" is beginning to have madness was born. If we faced with my partner not going the way you want do some things, people will take the action of the love of two patterns. First, they hold themselves in the hope that spouse’s happiness and leaving the feelings of love.  Second, they love spouse try to turn around their lover's feelings, even using any hand. In this movie, it is an activity done for based on revenge them has produced this love madness. He wants to turn around the feeling of Catherine, Heathcliff of love is a pattern of the latter traced the source. However, this action involving the said afflicts many people around. I kept the love is transformed into madness straight to Catherine can’t think about the feelings of others.


Then, in regard to prejudice and discrimination, the lack of romantic relationship of Catherine and Heathcliff is discrimination and prejudice is involved. Heathcliff was in the low status socially as servants. Catherine is in a position wealthy socially, of the house Earnshaw. They had been in love with each other, she had had the eyes of prejudice-discrimination against Heathcliff, where unaware of itself Catherine had. It became an opportunity to stir up a feeling of revenge for his hurt that he was betrayed. Violence bad for Kathy daughter of Edgar and the feeling of Heaton being treated like a servant is despised by others if the normal state, and Catherine and Isabella, although it is supposed to be something difficult to overlap with the feeling was painful have been their own, it has been driven by revenge to the house so do not feel even Linton.

From that described above, it kept the love that Heathcliff is transformed into a straight to her madness led to discrimination and prejudice of Catherine.

The Last of the Mohicans

 I studied “The Last of the Mohicans” written by James Fenimoa Cooper on history of American literature’s class. I’d like to write my impression to it.

 When I watched this movie, I witnessed one of tragedy was caused by civilized society. I’d like to state 3 points. Once is Indian dairy broken by civilized society, second is the racial discrimination to suffer by European and third is the love beyond race.  

　First, I’d like to think about India dairy broken by civilized society and the racial discrimination to Indian suffered by European has civilized society countries such as French and England had invaded America to colonize there had influenced their lives. Probably I think it hadn’t the hatred births hatred, let them massacre whites, and Indians to fight each other.  As a result, they lost important family each other. These are the result to seek the more comfortable living than more necessary. In the cases, countries sought self-interest is French and England. Gentleman of Europe diplomacy is only intended for Europeans, but that is not for American local people. American local people was just sacrifice to proceed superiority and more comfortable their lives of European and they weren’t interested in their lives of American local people.

 On this movie, captain Munro didn’t listen what Hawkeye said, he carried out only to be involved in the interest of the United Kingdom. The representative must be considered the living environment of soldiers and nation to support their lives. However he thought only short-term profits. So he didn’t have capacity to be the representative. These things also included that the problem of racial discrimination.

 If own subordinate captain Munro couldn’t be interested in it. This attitude is based on the self-interest and others sacrifice. They were immersed in the sense of own cultural superiority because they played a civilization. However why say such a thing on what grounds? While there are difference skin color of mankind, which is the same person have no superiority or inferiority. Therefore, a captain Munro couldn’t have capacity to attitude for them.

 At the end, I’d like to think about the beauty of love beyond the race. Hawkeye who was orphan of the pioneers of the British and Cola who was British peeress were different state were felt in love each other. Love is a wonderful thing and can even fall in love each other difference of race like this. Bravely which Hawkeye has pried of the Mohicans and defend an important woman testified to the beauty of love beyond the race.

 To summarize the results have been thinking of these, the racial discrimination is born from an idea of own cultural superiority, the hated is born to hate, and they leaves a more or less pain to both. However, love is the feelings of universal more than a race. ( 472/8115 words)
