Eco-criticism offers a new perspective for us to
study Wuthering Heights. In Wuthering Heights, the place of Wuthering
Heights and the residents are the representatives of nature, while the
place of Thrushcross Grange and the residents are the spokesmen of
civilization. The history of the changing relationship between the human
beings and the nature is reflected in the relationships of the main
characters in Wuthering Heights. Long ago the human beings lived in awe
of the nature and admired it and then they exploited the nature
excessively. At last they return to respect the nature and form a
harmonious relationship between the human beings and the nature under
the guidance of the eco-ethic. With the deterioration of the
environment, the relationship between the human beings and the nature
reflected in Wuthering Heights drives the modern people to think deeply.
