_Love_ in the history of English literature is handed down as a classic, it has successfully shaped the history of English literature first on love, life, society and religion, have taken a stand on one's own initiative and dare to struggle, dare to fight for free and equal status of women.
Almost all women love foreign literature, like D Charlotte's _in love_.If we think that Charlotte is only just to write these section of tangled up love to write _love_.I think, sorry, that's not author also is a female, living in turbulent England in the mid of the nineteenth Century, when the thoughts have a brand new in _Jane love_ in infiltration is the largest such thoughts -- women's sense of us imagine, if Jane love independent, has been killed in his childhood; if she did not share the independent, she already and wife Rochester to live together, began to have money, a new life; if she is not that the purity, we are now in the hands of _Jane love_ is no longer a touching tears , I began to think, why _Jane love_ let us be moved, fondle admiringly -- she is independent personality, beckoning personality charm.
However, we can't help wanting to ask, only these step can be independent?I think I won' all, women's independence is a long-term process, not accomplish at one needs a thorough courage, love was like Jane decided to leave Rochester, need _wind rustling Xi the Yi River is so cold, strong earth to did not return_ heroic and think, these should be the most crucial one step, also should be the decisive step towards Charlotte's Jane love but her stubborn disposition, independent personality left us a she is successful, happy women.
Jane love has as an independent women's classic, I hope the sun, the flowers more Jane love out, whether poor or rich,; whether beauty, or homely, have good heart and enrich the mind, can the independent personality and a strong sexual life.
The story of Jane Eyre takes place in northern England in the early to mid-19th Century. （“Jane Eyre” 151） It starts as the ten-year-old Jane， a plain but unyielding child， is excluded by her Aunt Reed from the domestic circle around the hearth and bullied by her handsome but unpleasant cousins. Under the suggestion of Mr. Lloyd， an apothecary that sympathizes Jane， Mrs. Reed sends Jane to Lowood Institution operated by a hypocritical Evangelicalist， Mr. Brocklehurst， who chastises Jane in front of the class and calls her a liar. At Lowood， Jane befriends with Helen Burns， who helps the newly arrived Jane adjust to the austere environment; she is also taken under the wing of the superintendent， Miss Temple. One spring， many students catch typhus due to the harsh condition. Helen dies of consumption. At the end of her studies Jane is retained as a teacher. When Jane grows weary of her life at Lowood， she advertises for a position as governess and is engaged by Mrs. Fairfax， housekeeper at Thron field， for a little girl， Adele Varens. After much waiting， Jane meets her employer， Edward Rochester， somber， moody， quick to change in his manner， and brusque in his speech.
Mysterious happenings occur at Thronfield， including demonic laugh emanating from the third-story attic and a fire set in Rochesters bedroom one night. Rochester attributes all the oddities to Grace Poole， the seamstress. Meanwhile， Jane develops an attraction for Rochester. Rochester， however， often flirts with the idea of marrying Miss Ingram. An old acquaintance of Rochesters， Richard Mason， visits Thornfield and is severely injured from an attack apparently from Grace. Jane returns to Gateshead for a while to see the dying Mrs. Reed. When she returns to Thornfield， Rochester asks Jane to marry him. Jane accepts， but during the wedding， Mason and a solicitor interrupt the ceremony by revealing that Rochester is keeping his lunatic wife， Bertha Mason， in the attic in Thornfield. Despite Rochesters confession， Jane leaves Thornfield. She arrives at the desolate crossroads of Whitcross and runs into the Rivers siblings， who tend her in Moor House. Jane happily accepts the offer of teaching at St. Johns school.
I first read _Jane Eyre_ in eighth grade and have read it every few years since. It is one of my favorite novels, and so much more than a gothic romance to me, although that's how I probably would have defined it at age 13. I have always been struck, haunted in a way, by the characters - Jane and Mr. Rochester. They take on new depth every time I meet them...and their's is a love story for the ages.
Charlotte Bronte's first published novel, and her most noted work, is a semi-autobiographical coming-of-age story. Jane is plain, poor, alone and unprotected, but due to her fierce independence and strong will she grows and is able to defy society's expectations of her. This is definitely feminist literature, published in 1847, way before the beginning of any feminist movement. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the novel has had such a wide following since it first came on the market. It is also one of the first gothic romances published and defines the genre.
Jane Eyre, who is our narrator, was born into a poor family. Her parents died when she was a small child and the little girl was sent to live with her Uncle and Aunt Reed at Gateshead. Jane's Uncle truly cared for her and showed his affection openly, but Mrs. Reed seemed to hate the orphan, and neglected her while she pampered and spoiled her own children. This unfair treatment emphasized Jane's status as an unwanted outsider. She was often punished harshly. On one occasion her nasty cousin Jack picked a fight with her. Jane tried to defend herself and was locked in the terrifying _Red Room_ as a result. Jane's Uncle Reed had died in this room a little while before, and Mrs. Reed knew how frightened she was of the chamber. Since Jane is the narrator, the reader is given a first-hand impression of the child's feelings, her heightened emotional state at being imprisoned. Indeed, she seems almost like an hysterical child, filled with terror and rage. She repeatedly calls her condition in life _unjust_ and is filled with bitterness. Looking into the mirror Jane sees a distorted image of herself. She views her reflection and sees a _strange little figure,_ or _tiny phantom._ Jane has not learned yet to subordinate her passions to her reason. Her passions still erupt unchecked. Her isolation in the Red Room is a presentiment of her later isolation from almost every society and community. This powerful, beautifully written scene never fails to move me.
Mrs. Reed decided to send Jane away to the Lowood School, a poor institution run by Mr. Brocklehurst, who believed that suffering made grand people. All the children there were neglected, except to receive harsh punishment when any mistake was made. At Lowood, Jane met Helen Burns, a young woman a little older than Jane, who guided her with vision, light and love for the rest of her life. Jane's need for love was so great. It really becomes obvious in this first friendship. Helen later died from fever, in Jane's arms. Her illness and death could have been avoided if more attention had been paid to the youths. Jane stayed at Lowood for ten years, eight as a student and two as a teacher. Tired and depressed by her surroundings, Jane applied for the position of governess and found employment at Thornfield. The mansion is owned by a gentleman named Edward Fairfax Rochester. Her job there was to teach his ward, an adorable little French girl, Adele. Over a long period the moody, inscrutable Rochester confides in Jane and she in him. The two form an unlikely friendship and eventually fall in love. Again, Jane's need for love comes to the fore, as does her passionate nature. She blooms. A dark, gothic figure, Rochester also has a heart filled with the hope of true love and future happiness with Jane. Ironically, he has brought all his misery, past and future, on himself.
All is not as it seems at Thornfield. There is a strange, ominous woman servant, Grace Poole, who lives and works in an attic room. She keeps to herself and is rarely seen. From the first, however, Jane has sensed bizarre happenings at night, when everyone is asleep .There are wild cries along with violent attempts on Rochester's life by a seemingly unknown person. Jane wonders why no one investigates Mrs. Poole. Then a strange man visits Thornfield and mysteriously disappears with Mr. Rochester. Late that night Jane is asked to sit with the man while the lord of the house seeks a doctor's help. The man has been seriously wounded and is weak from loss of blood. He leaves by coach, in a sorry state, first thing in the morning. Jane's questions are not answered directly. This visit will have dire consequences on all involved. An explosive secret revealed will destroy all the joyful plans that Jane and Rochester have made. Jane, once more will face poverty and isolation.
Charlotte Bronte's heroine Jane Eyre, may not have been graced with beauty or money, but she had a spirit of fire and was filled with integrity and a sense of independence - character traits that never waned in spite of all the oppression she encountered in life. Ms. Bronte brings to the fore in _Jane Eyre_ such issues as: the relations between men and women in the mid-19 century, women's equality, the treatment of children and of women, religious faith and hypocrisy (and the difference between the two), the realization of selfhood, and the nature of love and passion. This is a powerhouse of a novel filled with romance, mystery and passions. It is at once startlingly fresh and a portrait of the times. Ms. Bronte will make your heart beat faster, your pulse race and your eyes fill with tears.
Jane Eyre was published in 1847 under the androgynous pseudonym of “Currer Bell.” The publication was followed by widespread success. Utilizing two literary traditions， the Bildungsroman and the Gothic novel， Jane Eyre is a powerful narrative with profound themes concerning genders， family， passion， and identity. It is unambiguously one of the most celebrated novels in British literature.
Born in 1816， Charlotte Bronte was the third daughter of Patrick Bronte， an ambitious and intelligent clergyman. According to Newsman， all the Bronte children were unusually precocious and almost ferociously intelligent， and their informal and unorthodox educations under their father's tutelage nurtured these traits. Patrick Bronte shared his interests in literature with his children， toward whom he behaved as though they were his intellectual equals. The Bronte children read voraciously. Charlotte's imagination was especially fired by the poetry of Byron， whose brooding heroes served as the prototypes for characters in the Bronte's juvenile writings as well as for such figures as Mr. Rochester in Jane Eyre 。 Bronte's formal education was limited and sporadic – ten months at the age of 8 at Cowan Bridge Clergy Daughters' School （the model for Lowood Institution in Jane Eyre）， eighteen months from the age of 14 at Roe Head School of Miss Margaret Wooler （the model for Ms. Temple）。
Recently, I have reading the book _Jane Eyre”。 Although I forgot some details in the book, Jane gave me deeply impression, I admire her very much. After that the teacher also told us to put the play in to a movie, and then we all can touch each hero’s soul in the book. The play it mainly tell us how Jane is growing up when suffering from great difficulties and painless. whats more, it is impressed me that she still love her master even if he is blind at last due to rescue his mad wife. And I like the Classic lines what Jane said to Mr. Rochester ：_Do you think I can stay to become nothing to you? Do you think I am an automaton?--a machine without feelings? and can bear to have my morsel of bread _ed from my lips, and my drop of living water dashed from my cup?
Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong!--I have as much soul as you,--and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh;--it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at Gods feet, equal,--as we are!_ its so beautiful, Jane is a girl who will never lose confidence in life and always sensible when handling with some motional problems. Jane was huge in my heart. She can control her life and fate. She knew how to continue her life and she got it!
Maybe after what she told me I have known that what love is and how to love and to be loved! The book is a book worth of reading, so all in all let’s enjoy it!

In the world history of literature, some many classical famous works are going to be immortal, but Jane Eyre deeply enters people's soul deeply, it by irresistible intrinsic deep has attracted the tens of thousands of readers deeply, has affected people's inner world, is in the world history of literature the eternal classics.
Jane Eyre's author Charlotte Bronte and howls the mountain village author Amy Li · Bronte is sisters. Although two people live in the identical family and the social environment, but disposition actually entirely different. Charlotte Bronte the natural disposition is arrogant, pursues and yearns for all fine things. She from has slightly lost the maternal love, obtains the father likes very being also few, her appearance is thin and small, also is unattractive, Jane Eyre's contour is completely Charlotte Bronte the real portrayal. Charlotte Bronte perhaps on because own appearance is not conspicuous, created her innermost soul depth to feel inferior deeply, reflected in hers disposition was the sensitive self-respect.
Jane Eyre double perishes from the little parents, lives under subjugation, not only cousins' insult, despising which the aunt not covers up, to has lodged the school, but also must receive teacher the unfair treatment. Is precisely all these, let Jane Eyre practice on the self-confident spirit which stood buffer, caused Mr. Rochester to shock for it, regarded as her to be possible with own energetic equality conversation person, and deep has fallen in love with her deeply. His sincerity lets her be moved, she decided entrusts for his life. But in the marriage that one day, the accident knew actually in addition has madame who contracts neurosis, life in Sand field’s top layer. She said righteously to that, “You thought I poor, mean, am not beautiful, am diminutive, I do not have the soul, has not had the heart? - - You thought mistakenly! - - Jan · likes with you having the soul - - also completely to have a heart equally! … I not am relying on the custom, the convention now, even not relies on the human body every tire bead heel you to converse, but is my mind in with yours mind speech, as soon as probably we all leave the world, two people stand equally in front of God - - because we are originally equal!”
This also is Jane Eyre tells her to have to leave his reason: “I must defend this standpoint firmly.” Deeper one is Jane Eyre thought oneself received own to trust human's deceit. Asked which woman can withstand oneself human's deceit which most intimate, most trusts. In such situation, Jane Eyre has also made an unusual rational decision. Has unusual strength love surrounding in such one, but also has under the wealthy life enticement, she still must persist from already individual dignity.
I thought, if it is me, I definitely at that time forgave , I could use each reason to convince oneself remain down, But Jan does not have, she chose resolutely left. This also is precisely Jane Eyre is most lovable, the most valuable place - - persists own principle.
The novel has designed a very bright ending. 's manor has destroyed; he has also become a disabled person. Between such situation, Jane Eyre no longer and loves the contradiction in the dignity. But simultaneously obtains satisfies——She and 's marriage has the dignity, simultaneously also has the love.
In the modern society, the very few some people can look like Jane Eyre to be same, is love, gets rid all for the personality, moreover is duty-bound not to turn back. The pursue entire heart pays, moreover a pure like ice water……
