本文从空间角度出发看待《呼啸山庄》中展现的超越主题，首先结合空间理论对小说中的空间进行分类，接着从物理、社会、心理空间三种空间类型分别对超越主题的展现进行分析，尝试探讨《呼啸山庄》如何通过“空间”来表现“超越界限的力量”。

《呼啸山庄》的空间对展现超越主题发挥了重要的作用。两个主要物理空间，呼啸山庄和画眉山庄，在建筑特征、周围环境、内部装饰、房间布局、天气等方面的对立显示出人物性格的冲突以及野蛮与文明、混乱与有序之间的矛盾。不相容的两个物理空间为相互沟通造成了困难。再加上人物本身对沟通的拒绝态度和缺乏沟通能力，不仅使得人物生活的空间与外部世界完全孤立，就连人物之间的人际沟通也从来无法真正发生。因此，《呼啸山庄》的社会空间是一个封闭的、缺乏沟通的世界，其中的人物极度孤独。心理空间，即人物意志投射到物理空间上的结果，表明其中孤独的人物都有强烈的冲破界限的渴望，甚至创造出幻想的现实来帮助实现自己越界的追求。正是幻想帮助人物的关系重新达到和谐，帮助孤独的人物获得真正超然的自由。

故事中存在着各种各样的边界，包括自我与他者、现实与幻想、生与死、文明与野蛮、有序与混乱、存在与不存在之间的界限等等。小说鼓励越界，认为界限应该被打破和消解。《呼啸山庄》正是通过故事中无处不在的超越界限的力量来歌颂人类跨越界限、追求自由的伟大力量。

This thesis focuses on the “transgression” theme in Wuthering Heights from the perspective of space. It first uses the theory of space to classify the spaces in the novel into three types: physical space, social space, and psychological space. Then, it analyzes the presentation of the “transgression” theme in each type of space, so as to try to explore how Wuthering Heights expresses the “power of transgressing” through “space”.

It proposes that the space plays an important role in showing the “transgression” theme in Wuthering Heights. The opposition between the two main physical spaces, Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange, in terms of architectural features, surroundings, interior decoration, room configuration, weather, etc., shows the conflict of characters’ personalities and the contradiction between barbarism and civilization, chaos and order. The incompatibility of two physical spaces indicates that the boundary between them creates difficulties in communicating with each other. In addition, the characters’ refusal to communicate and their lack of communication ability not only make the living space of the characters completely isolated from the outside world but also limit the interpersonal communication between them. Therefore, the social space of Wuthering Heights is a closed world lacking communication, in which extremely lonely characters live. In the psychological space, which is the result of the projection of the characters’ will on the physical space, the lonely characters all have strong desires to cross boundaries and even create an illusioned reality to help realize their desire for transgression. It is the illusion that helps the characters’ relationship to rebuild harmony and helps the lonely characters to gain transcendental freedom.

Various boundaries exist in the story, including the boundaries between self and other, reality and illusion, life and death, civilization and barbarism, order and chaos, existence and non-existence, and so on. The novel encourages transgression and believes that boundaries should be dissolved. Wuthering Heights celebrates the greatness of human beings to transgress boundaries and pursue freedom through the omnipresent transgressive power in the story.
