摘要

小说家艾米莉•勃朗特的<<呼啸山庄>>和法国作家大仲马创作的<<基度山伯爵>>都是以复仇为主题的小说。

希思克利夫和埃德蒙•唐代斯分别是两部小说中的主人公。

希思克利夫被称之为“恶魔”或“魔鬼”，复仇扭曲了他的人性，他设计阴谋，使人破产，还要对仇人的子孙实施报复。

而唐泰斯历来被世人视为“天神”的化身，一个完美的人物。

他化身为基度山伯爵,小心地接近敌人,在法律和道德的基础上,聪明地将敌人绳之以法。

两人的品性虽然不同,但同为复仇者，他们内心都充满仇恨,经历了坎坷的命运,并且两人最后都获得了一定程度上的新生。

本文在细读小说的基础上，对比分析两部作品男主人公的复仇背景,复仇原因,方法和结果。
