Emily Brontë's works contain a trenchant critique of capitalist civilization,which is characterized by industrialization and its belief in"progress".In 1975,western scholar Terry Eagleton began to read Wuthering Heights from a Marxist perspective and analyze the alienation between individual characters.Domestically,Yin Qiping in his recent work has also deconstructed the so-called"progress"in another Brontë sister-Charlotte Brontë's novel Shirley.The present paper starts its discussion from Emily Brontë's essay"The Palace of Death",to explore the author's remarkable perception and unique insight on the nature of"progress"advocated by industrial civilization.What is the essence of capitalist"progress"?What sort of trials would it make human nature face?And what warning is issued against the future humankind?These are the questions that the article intends to unravel.
