The story of the sisters named Charlotte Bronte,Emily Bronte and Anne Bronte in Haworth is the beautiful legend in the world.There are eternal and precious deposits in their experience,the characters in literature and the ideology about aesthetics waiting for us to discover.There are lots of images in the Brontes’works,such as the Storm,the Solitary Fort,the Wilderness,the Mad Woman,the ghost and so on.Because of the historical accumulation and artistic originality in them,they play the important roles to deepen the theme and shape the character.Besides,the images are considered as the bridge between the creators and the recipients.The image of Storm has special value because it is originated in The Bible,which is one of the source in the history of Western Literature, then formed in Shakespeare’s era,and finally carried forward at the greatest degree in the Brontes’ works.To the sisters,the storm matching with their character perfectly,which is unchained and reckless,sometimes symbolize the difficulties in life,sometimes the collision in love,and some other time the freedom of mind.It is not only the result of emotional movement but also the philosophy of an unique artist about life.The image of Storm perform differently in the respective works.It shows some strong Gothic style in Charlotte’s novels,directs to the soul of the characters in Emily’s works,and reveal the supreme faith in the youngest sister’s texts.As the symbol and advocate of freedom,the images have the following common points:first,the Storm is considered as the concentration and outbreak of various of emotion instantaneously,therefore they all have the refined form and the connotation of polysemy ambiguity.Second,the Storm is the artists’understanding about the natural and social phenomena while forming in the years of living practic,and the value is that.it is on the reality of the rebellion and reflection.third,it is the polymerization and the deduction of primitive thinking and modern philosophy and it is formed in the unconscious condition,for what we accept it as the result of the highly abstract human mind.Above all,to research the meaning of the Storm in Brontes’works,we should find a suitable medium in literature theories,by which we will make it a worthful attempt to head for humanity and freedom. Either to serve as a foil,or manufacture the atmosphere,or leave with the writer’s emotion,the Storm as a particular art symbol shows some common feelings and impress people while communicating with nature and world,for which reason it become very useful to our study.
