One hundred and sixty years ago,when Charlotte Bronte created Jane Eyre,she could have never thought that it would become a matter of fact, in the world of today,there are tens of thousands of Jane Eyre,each living in a reader's heart,breathing with him the same air and sharing with him the same happiness and rich mental world has become an inexhaustible resource of spirtual Jane Eyre,people who are timid and shy get confidence and self-respect;people who feel imprisoned get independence and freedom;people who are lonesome get love and , what I get from Jane Eyre is the courage of inner qestioning and self-exploring.
Jane Eyre is a young orphan being raised by Mrs. Reed, her cruel, wealthy aunt. A servant named Bessie provides Jane with some of the few kindnesses she receives, telling her stories and singing songs to her. One day, as punishment for fighting with her bullying cousin John Reed, Jane’s aunt imprisons Jane in the red-room, the room in which Jane’s Uncle Reed died. While locked in, Jane, believing that she sees her uncle’s ghost, screams and faints. She wakes to find herself in the care of Bessie and the kindly apothecary Mr. Lloyd, who suggests to Mrs. Reed that Jane be sent away to school. To Jane’s delight, Mrs. Reed concurs.
Once at the Lowood School, Jane finds that her life is far from idyllic. The school’s headmaster is Mr. Brocklehurst, a cruel, hypocritical, and abusive man. Brocklehurst preaches a doctrine of poverty and privation to his students while using the school’s funds to provide a wealthy and opulent lifestyle for his own family. At Lowood, Jane befriends a young girl named Helen Burns, whose strong, martyrlike attitude toward the school’s miseries is both helpful and displeasing to Jane. A massive typhus epidemic sweeps Lowood, and Helen dies of consumption. The epidemic also results in the departure of Mr. Brocklehurst by attracting attention to the insalubrious conditions at Lowood. After a group of more sympathetic gentlemen takes Brocklehurst’s place, Jane’s life improves dramatically. She spends eight more years at Lowood, six as a student and two as a teacher.
After teaching for two years, Jane yearns for new experiences. She accepts a governess position at a manor called Thornfield, where she teaches a lively French girl named Adèle. The distinguished housekeeper Mrs. Fairfax presides over the estate. Jane’s employer at Thornfield is a dark, impassioned man named Rochester, with whom Jane finds herself falling secretly in love. She saves Rochester from a fire one night, which he claims was started by a drunken servant named Grace Poole. But because Grace Poole continues to work at Thornfield, Jane concludes that she has not been told the entire story. Jane sinks into despondency when Rochester brings home a beautiful but vicious woman named Blanche Ingram. Jane expects Rochester to propose to Blanche. But Rochester instead proposes to Jane, who accepts almost disbelievingly.
The wedding day arrives, and as Jane and Mr. Rochester prepare to exchange their vows, the voice of Mr. Mason cries out that Rochester already has a wife. Mason introduces himself as the brother of that wife—a woman named Bertha. Mr. Mason testifies that Bertha, whom Rochester married when he was a young man in Jamaica, is still alive. Rochester does not deny Mason’s claims, but he explains that Bertha has gone mad. He takes the wedding party back to Thornfield, where they witness the insane Bertha Mason scurrying around on all fours and growling like an animal. Rochester keeps Bertha hidden on the third story of Thornfield and pays Grace Poole to keep his wife under control. Bertha was the real cause of the mysterious fire earlier in the story. Knowing that it is impossible for her to be with Rochester, Jane flees Thornfield.
Penniless and hungry, Jane is forced to sleep outdoors and beg for food. At last, three siblings who live in a manor alternatively called Marsh End and Moor House take her in. Their names are Mary, Diana, and St. John (pronounced “Sinjin”) Rivers, and Jane quickly becomes friends with them. St. John is a clergyman, and he finds Jane a job teaching at a charity school in Morton. He surprises her one day by declaring that her uncle, John Eyre, has died and left her a large fortune: 20,000 pounds. When Jane asks how he received this news, he shocks her further by declaring that her uncle was also his uncle: Jane and the Riverses are cousins. Jane immediately decides to share her inheritance equally with her three newfound relatives.
St. John decides to travel to India as a missionary, and he urges Jane to accompany him—as his wife. Jane agrees to go to India but refuses to marry her cousin because she does not love him. St. John pressures her to reconsider, and she nearly gives in. However, she realizes that she cannot abandon forever the man she truly loves when one night she hears Rochester’s voice calling her name over the moors. Jane immediately hurries back to Thornfield and finds that it has been burned to the ground by Bertha Mason, who lost her life in the fire. Rochester saved the servants but lost his eyesight and one of his hands. Jane travels on to Rochester’s new residence, Ferndean, where he lives with two servants named John and Mary.
At Ferndean, Rochester and Jane rebuild their relationship and soon marry. At the end of her story, Jane writes that she has been married for ten blissful years and that she and Rochester enjoy perfect equality in their life together. She says that after two years of blindness, Rochester regained sight in one eye and was able to behold their first son at his birth.
Actually,not only do I inspired by Jane Eyre's character,but also I am moved by the love of believe that every one of us may have thought about our after reading this doesn't need to be so handsome .However,he must be good to us and take our things as the most important , we are all expecting...
Oliver Twist, one of the most famous works of Charles Dickens’, is a novel reflecting the tragic fact of the life in Britain in 18th century.
The author who himself was born in a poor family wrote this novel in his twenties with a view to reveal the ugly masks of those cruel criminals and to expose the horror and violence hidden underneath the narrow and dirty streets in London.
The hero of this novel was Oliver Twist, an orphan, who was thrown into a world full of poverty and crime. He suffered enormous pain, such as hunger, thirst, beating and abuse. While reading the tragic experiences of the little Oliver, I was shocked by his sufferings. I felt for the poor boy, but at the same time I detested the evil Fagin and the brutal Bill. To my relief, as was written in all the best stories, the goodness eventually conquered devil and Oliver lived a happy life in the end. One of the plots that attracted me most is that after the theft, little Oliver was allowed to recover in the kind care of Mrs. Maylie and Rose and began a new life. He went for walks with them, or Rose read to him, and he worked hard at his lessons. He felt as if he had left behind forever the world of crime and hardship and poverty.
How can such a little boy who had already suffered oppressive affliction remain pure in body and mind? The reason is the nature of goodness. I think it is the most important information implied in the novel by Dickens-he believed that goodness could conquer every difficulty. Although I don’t think goodness is omnipotent, yet I do believe that those who are kind-hearted live more happily than those who are evil-minded.
For me, the nature of goodness is one of the most necessary character for a person. Goodness is to humans what water is to fish. He who is without goodness is an utterly worthless person. On the contrary, as the famous saying goes, ‘The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose’, he who is with goodness undoubtedly is a happy and useful person. People receiving his help are grateful to him and he also gets gratified from what he has done, and thus he can do good to both the people he has helped and himself.
To my disappointment, nowadays some people seem to doubt the existence of the goodness in humanity. They look down on people’s honesty and kindness, thinking it foolish of people to be warm-hearted. As a result, they show no sympathy to those who are in trouble and seldom offer to help others. On the other hand, they attach importance to money and benefit. In their opinion, money is the only real object while emotions and morality are nihility. If they cannot get profit from showing their ‘kindness’, they draw back when others are faced with trouble and even hit a man when he is down. They are one of the sorts that I really detest.
Francis Bacon said in his essay, ‘Goodness, of all virtues and dignities of the mind, is the greatest, being the character of the Deity, and without it, man is a busy, mischievous, wretched thing, no better than a kind of vermin.’
That is to say a person without goodness is destined to lose everything. Therefore, I, a kind person, want to tell those ‘vermin-to-be’ to learn from the kind Oliver and regain the nature of goodness.
The novel tells us that the best people to increase the dignity of life is love. Novels by the end of the row that this is such a life. Although I think this kind of outcome is too perfect, so perfect a little superficial, but I still respect this author The ideal of a better kind of life. Is to increase the dignity of love / In modern society, few people will like Jane Eyre, for the love for the character and abandon all, and without looking back.'s Whole-hearted pursuit of pay, and pure like a glaof ice water ……
After reading Jane Eyre, I think Jane Eyre is a great woman. Through a serious of troublesome situations between Jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester, the author set up a great female image before readers: insisting on maintaining an independent personality, pursuing individual freedom, advocating equality of life and being confident before hard conditions.
Her early life at Gateshead was terrible, everyone seems harsh on her. She survives her parents at an early age, and has to live with her ugly aunt and three cousins. She suffers large quantities of bad conditions that others may not experience. However, she does not give up in despair, she does not destroy herself mentally, instead, Jane Eyre is filled with unlimited confidence, and she is a strong spirit, a victory over the inner personality.
She is then forced to send to Lowood Institution, unfortunately, life there turns out to be terrible, too. She is still under physical and spiritual punishment. Mr Brocklehurst insults her to be a liar before all pupils and teachers. But there she meets one sincere friend Helen Burns and one sincere teacher Miss Temple. They always treat her well. She then behaves very well and get many people’s recognition. Six years later, she makes a teacher there.
After two years teaching life at Lowood Institution, she plans to leave there to pursuit her own life and happiness. She was in a position of governess through a letter from Thornfield. Her life was totally changed after that. There she met a lovely girl, Adele and her master, Mr. Rochester. She has a special feeling about them. With the development of the plots, Jane Eyre succeed a large sum of money from his uncle, and through all bitter things which was caused by Rochester’s wife in Thornfield, Jane Eyre and finally get married and lead an ideal life.
I think Jane Eyre is an autobiography of Charlotte Bronte. Although the story is made up, the heroine and people's life and the environment in the story were taken from the details of real people around and experience. Charlotte Bronte described a young girl’s struggling life to express her inner thought: everyone is equal regardless of his or her gender. The uniqueness of Jane Eyre is not only lies in its truth and the strong artistic appeal, but also lies in the particular female image. The love story of Rochester and Jane Eyre vividly shows the fire of passion and sincere heart strongly reveals their notions of love. She looks down upon the upper class who only use their power to do what they intend to do and laughs at their stupid to show her independent character and beauty dream.
In the actual fact, she wasn’t pretty, even herself knows that, and of course, the ordinary appearance make others have bad opinion on her, even her own aunt dislike her. And some others even thought that she was easy to look down upon and tease, but she was totally much more than “the plain and ugly tutor”. And as a little governess she said to her master: “Do you think my poor, obscure, plain, and little has led me to be a soulless and heartless person? You have done a wrong thing!”Underneath these lines sees the equality of human in Jane Eyre’s mind. She has affection towards her master, Mr. Rochester, but when she finds that he has already had a wife, she leaves him and her love place without consideration. Although God did not grant her a beauty and wealth person, instead, God gave her a kind mind and a thoughtful brain. Her idea of equality and self-respect impressed us extremely much and make us feel the power inside her small body.
In my mind, a person’s beauty on the face can only make others feel that he or she is attractive or charming, if his or her mind isn’t the same noble as the appearance, beauty of this kind cannot last for a long time, because other people will one day find that the beauty which had charmed them was only a superficial one, it’s not sincere, they will not like the person any more. For a long time, only a person’s great virtue, a noble soul, a beautiful heart can be called as an everlasting beauty, just as Albert Einstein said: “A person must be held accountable for their biological survival or all of the meaning or purpose, from an objective point of view, I think it is ridiculous. Everyone can have a certain ideal, which determines the ideal and his efforts to determine the direction. In this sense, I never easy and the enjoyment of life as an end in itself, the ethical basis of this, I call it the ideal pigsty. I lit up the road, and continue to give me new courage to face up to the pleasure of the ideal life is good and the beautiful and true. If it were not for like-minded between the warm feelings, but focus on the objective world, the arts and sciences in the field of work will never reach the target, and then it seems to me that life would be empty. There are efforts to pursue the goal of the vulgar - property, vanity, luxury living, I think it is despicable.”
Now I get a better understanding of what real beauty is, as we are all human-beings, so we should distinguish whether a man is noble or vulgar.
Jane Eyre’s story makes me thinking about our future life and I learn much from her experiences, I know everyone will have a better tomorrow if one holds his beliefs, regardless of one’s status and the situation he is in.
As Jane Eyre,in her plainness and solitude,walks to and fro in the Thornfield Hall,her unfortunate childhood,conflicting love,and religious forbiddance all cannot stop her seeking a better life and cherishing the human nature. She broke loose the chains that jailed her spirit,and through her struggles she overcame the poverty,customs,social standards,and piety which all blocked her from her dream of happiness,and finally became the master of herself! It could be said that Janes life was earned through retaliation and pursuit,that she fought tooth and nail until the sunlight was won.
The sunlight now in her palm,shines brightly unto her! In fact,one has endless thoughts for the most effulgent sunbeam that shines after the storm. I always think in a difficult situation,if and when the hardships of this life is done,if and when the road of time no longer curves,if and when I try my best to walk to the end,will I be able to see the blinding sunlight? For the most important meaning in life is that,struggling through your trials you realize the value of your life,while taking away all the bitter misfortunes. Only then will we see the true radiance of the golden sun...
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!
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 fathers 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. Charlottes imagination was especially fired by the poetry of Byron， whose brooding heroes served as the prototypes for characters in the Brontes juvenile writings as well as for such figures as Mr. Rochester in Jane Eyre . Brontes 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）.
_Jane Eyre_ this novel, shaped the maintenance of independent personality, the pursuit of individual freedom, advocate equality, do not yield to the fate of women, mainly wrote Jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester between twists and turns of love story. The heroine Jane Eyres parents died, living in an environment that ruthlessly trampled on her dignity, but this did not change Jane Eyres infinite confidence and unyielding spirit.
Jane Eyre is sent to a boarding school, where she learns from her good friend Helen an inner strength - - patience. Jane Eyre came to Roche side, her integrity, noble make Rochester shocked, and his heart, Jane Eyre moved.
When they get married that day, Jane Eyre found Rochester has a wife, her pride was teased, she left Rochester with grief and love. In the end, Jane Eyre returned to Rochester and married him.
It is known to us,even though living at gateshead,in such a beautiful house with the reeds, jane eyre`s childhood wasn`t filled with happiness. jane eyre`s uncle reed had taken her to his house when her parents both her uncle`s death bed he had made his wife,anut reed, promise to look after jane eyre like her own children,but she didn`t keeping her thought mrs reed was a good woman,becasure they didn`t know how she hate jane and are cruel to reed`s attitude made the others change their view to cousins did not love her even bullied and punished her all the servant bessie is the only person who was kind to her.
Jane has spent most of her childhood in gateshead,no other than this special experience shaped her personality of brave and strong to challenge her new life.
At lowood,she was both excited and nervous about the new place she had see and the new people she had at lowood wasn`t good at the there must believed in hard work,plain food,simple clothes and no luxury of any most of them were offish except miss temple,the headmistress of lowood school.
Jane has made a friend here,the first really friend——helen girl was smart and kind-hearted but was hated by her teacher miss scatcherd and always be punished because of her “untidy and careless”.jane was so angry about that,on the contrary,helen told her:“life is too short to continue hating anyone for a long all have faults,but the time will come soon when we die,when our wickedness will pass away with our bodies,leaving only the pure flame of the `s why i never think of revenge,i never consider life live in calm,looking forward to the end. ”
Tthat is true,her life was too short!when jane felt she was accepted,learned to like school and set to work to learn as much as she could,make as many friends as possible,helen`s illness was much more serious than jane first thought,she had got a tuber morning miss temple found jane asleep with helen burns dead in her have a great effect on jane,she teached jane how to learn to love,forgive and do as the bible tells:“sometimes you have to put up with some hard things in life even if other people hurt us.”
Jane stayed for eight years in lowood,for the last two as a was busy and happy all that time,however,suddenly she realized she had never known any other world apart from lowood or wanted freedom, decided to change her life or at least a new master to she advertised in a newspaper for a job as a governess and then came to thornfield.
The following story is as what happened in the film sound of music.
The governess of no presence moved mr rochester with her beautiful,simplehearted and frank dialogue between jane and rochester was interesting. rochester was clever but a little peculiar,jane thought she didn`t really understand him and never sure whether he`s serious or she always speaking carefully and keeping serious to build a wall that she think are there to protect she had the courage to take down the wall and express her love to mr said:“do you think i can watch another woman become your bride?do you think i`m a machine,whitout feelings?do you think,because i`m small and poor and plain,that i have no soul and no heart?well,you`re wrong!i have as much soul and heart as is my spirit that speaks to your spirit!we are equal in the sight of god!”
I believe when you heard what she said all of you will stand in awe of i thought the story would come to an end,a sudden,surprising change were taking place.
On the wedding day,jane found the secret of wedding cannot continue because mr rochester was already married and his wife was still alive!his explanation made jane forgive him at once in her heart because she knew what he said was her heart she also knew it was right for her to leave.
She left mr rochester when he was rich and health butcame back even though he was bland and think that is true love.
Let me tell what I feel after reading the great work Jane was really move by Jane Erye after closing the a kind and good woman!
Mrs Eyre had a heart of really loved everyone around her,and gave others help respected herself and did her best to do really love her.
She are both a great teacher and a good friend of when I am confuse,I will think of will imagine what will she do if she is not read Jane Erye my friends!
The world masterpiece is different from the general works. When reading, it can be completely integrated into the story. Although his language plot or even the ending is very plain, the story can not escape the secular routine and develop in the way that readers expect.
_Jane love_ let me read the more like it, it does not urge me a drop of tears, or a touch of personality. But the light pleasures of the heart poured into my body. A cup of pure milk has been drunk as early as early, but it is very light but the fragrance of the cow is long.
I've read a lot of poems and novels about emotions. Most of them are thrilled, moved and confused. They also yearn for such deep feelings and strong feelings. Before, the more I read the psychological description of Jane's love, the more she could taste the love of her lover. All her psychological, fragile, sad, suspicious, fantasy, or even too sensitive to worry about personal gains and losses. I can all understand and deeply lament how vivid the author's description is.
I have always admired her _bubble summer_ to describe the aesthetic details, _a dream of Red Mansions_ in her mind and delicate and moving, at the moment feel that Jane's no better than their less, even more appropriate, more fit into an ordinary girl in love performance, at least is jointed with me.
In retrospect, I was really like the time she had read, and what I thought was so complicated every day. Oh, how exhausting ah, but never stop thinking about. The light of life is disappearing, and it is replaced by a rich thing. Few people can mark the mark in their hearts. Jane Aitai cold, life is very gloomy, Rochester is God brought her to change the life of the people. And Jane eyed the ripples that could never be appease in his heart. I think they are so special for each other that they can't forget or not love for their whole life. If they lose each other, what kind of Desolation will it be?
Fortunately, they have a relatively happy ending, as long as the two lovers, can still together, but I feel the end part of the arrangement of some fire...... Although there is a reason for her.
What if they're not together? This is not possible, according to the groundwork of the novel. In reality, it is not the same, that is, the heart is not necessarily interlinked. Man's pursuit is more, and desire is the same. It finally gebendongxi.
Jane Eyre is a personality, she did not seek what, nor is the reality of the shackles of the tired, she can only continue to One can be austere without selfish desires, her personal independence of conduct. Maybe that's exactly what I should learn and think too much, and it will inevitably fall into the cage. It's better to be simple and thin.
