Abstract
Ecological criticism is a literary criticism that explores the relationship between literature and nature, enriches the ecological meaning of literature, reveals the ecological limitations of literature, promotes the establishment of ecological literary concepts and ecological aesthetic concepts, and encourages people to form and strengthen ecological awareness and promote ecology civilization construction. "Wuthering Heights" is a rich and literary classic, expressing the ecological thought of returning to nature and returning to nature. It embodies the relationship between civilization and nature, and contains profound ecological wisdom. This paper uses western ecological criticism theory to analyze the description of natural ecology, social ecology and spiritual ecology in the novel, revealing the critique of civilization, the longing for harmonious relationship between man and nature, and the theme of exploring ecological balance, and advocate people to return to nature, but also to live in the true colors.
