Many critics of Eamily Bronte‘s novel Wuthering Heights see its second part as a counterpoint that comments on, if it does not reverse, the first part, where a ―romantic‖ reading receives more confirmation. Seeing the two parts as a whole is encouraged by the novel‘s sophisticated structure, revealed in its complex use of narrators and time shifts. Granted that the presence of these elements need not argue an authorial awareness of novelistic construction comparable to that of Henry James, their presence does encourage attempts to unify the novel‘s heterogeneous parts. However, any interpretation that seeks to unify all of the novel‘s diverse elements is bound to be somewhat unconvincing. This is not because such an interpretation necessarily stiffens into a thesis (although rigidity in any interpretation of this or of any novel is always a danger), but because Wuthering Heights has recalcitrant elements of undeniable power that, ultimately, resist inclusion in an all-encompassing interpretation. In this respect, Wuthering Heights shares a feature of Hamlet.

2. Which of the following inferences about Henry
James‘s awareness of novelistic construction is
best supported by the passage?
(A) James, more than any other novelist, was
aware of the difficulties of novelistic
construction.
(B) James was very aware of the details of novel-
istic construction.
(C) James‘s awareness of novelistic construction
derived from his reading of Bronte.
(D) James‘s awareness of novelistic construction
has led most commentators to see unity in
his individual novels.
(E) James‘s awareness of novelistic construction
precluded him from violating the unity of
his novels.

答案为B，我纠结在D处。 “their presence does encourage attempts to unify the novel‘s heterogeneous parts.” 那选项应该跟unity有联系才对，但B选项只提到了 construction。

之前也有人问过这篇文章~
粗体的部分观点并不是 Henry James的观点。
粗体前一句话的意思，Eamily Bronte小说特有元素，导致其不需要Henry James的小说一样，获得较多的awareness of novelistic construction。

看了好多地方的解释越看越糊涂了

其实这句话只是在对Wuthering Heights里的these elements (complex use of narrators and time shifts)做出的评价，最困扰人的地方是这句话的前半部分让步的内容与后半部分的评价是没什么关系的两部分。HJ的authorial awareness与unify the novel's heterogeneous parts没什么明确的正反关系。

意译大致为：没必要在可与HJ相提并论的authorial awareness of novelistic construction的高度上看待这些元素，这些元素的存在支持了将小说两部分统一起来的做法。

直译为：即使这些元素的存在不必去支持与HJ相比的authorial awareness of novelistic construction，它们的存在的确支持了将小说两部分统一起来的做法。
