It took me more than three days to finish reading Jane Eyre. I know this is a very difficult process. These days, I spent almost all my time on this novel from a distant country except eating and sleeping. However, while complaining, we have to admit that it is outstanding and charming. It is rare to see such a charming exotic style. This story, full of19th century British interest, made me feel a lot. Actually, I should have contacted this book earlier. Many people have already introduced it. Unfortunately, I'm a little xenophobic, and I haven't started to appreciate it until now. It's kind of like a brief encounter.
As a foreigner, I find it a little difficult to adapt to the British thinking and religious beliefs. However, most of the true feelings in the world are interlinked. Every time I read that Jane Eyre was abused and discriminated against because she had no relatives and no reason, her pity was unforgettable. How excited I was when Jane Eyre saved the day again and again; How inspiring and shocking it was when she bravely refused St. John's proposal and insisted on the true love in her heart; Especially at the end of the article, when she abandoned everything to take care of poor Edward, my heart was gratified and moved by the birth.
As for this novel, I think its greatest success lies in its outstanding integration in many artistic aspects. I am sure that the author of this book is a versatile writer. First of all, when she describes the scenery, she appreciates it from the aesthetic angle of a painter and grasps the harmony of light and shadow with the interest of a painter. When reading China's novels, it's rare to see such delicate landscape descriptions. We would like to thank Zhou Lingben, the translator of this book. His profound knowledge of Chinese has made the translation brilliant and the original brilliant. Secondly, Charlotte Brontexq has profound attainments in linguistics. As an Englishman, the author can say that he is proficient in at least three foreign languages. When reading this book, I feel that I can feel the cultural atmosphere of Europe through it. For example, the pride and gentlemanliness of the British, the great power of Germany, and the natural romantic interest of French women. Even read the British colonial psychology of discriminating against orientals, for example, they called India a barbaric nation. Third, Charlotte Brontexq's handling of emotional drama is brilliant. The protagonists in her novels rarely fall in love at first sight, which is more realistic, but the love she gives always goes deep into the readers' hearts silently. Such a clever emotional drama surprised me and surprised me.
If we compare the author of Jane Eyre with Cao Xueqin of China, there is no doubt that the latter has a deeper cultural background. Just as China and Britain compare history, China people can undoubtedly say: I am much older than you. Cao Xueqin learned much more in his life than Charlotte Brontexq. After all, China's cultural heritage is much richer. The key point is that Jane Eyre can't compare with China's Dream of Red Mansions. A Dream of Red Mansions is more outstanding for its rich characters and vivid descriptions. However, Jane Eyre also has something to be learned and appreciated by China people. For example, the psychological description of the characters in Jane Eyre can be said to be incisive. This is not enough in many China people's literary works.
After reading this book, I seem to have read the Bible once. Westerners' deep feelings and sincere beliefs about religion are really admirable. Today's China is an era of lack of faith. When I read Jane Eyre, I felt the pure human beauty that can only be obtained under the influence of religion, which is really hard to get in China now. In fact, many teachings in the Bible are complementary to the Confucian classics of China, but people in China nowadays often ignore the wisdom of their ancestors. For example, in the Bible, people are advised to be kind, tolerant and grateful, which is the same as that of Confucius and Old Master Q Ah Q. When reading Jane Eyre, I am often inspired by the beautiful thoughts in the Bible, which reminds me of the present situation in China, and my heart seems to have gained a lot. Let me firmly believe that the Confucian culture in China really needs to be re-examined.
& lt Jane Eyre; Reaction to a book or an article
Is it because I am poor, obscure, plain and short that I have no soul and no heart-you are wrong, my heart is as rich and full as yours!
-Jane Eyre Charlotte
Jane Eyre is a classic handed down from generation to generation in the history of English literature. It successfully created the first female image in the history of English literature who took an independent and positive attitude towards love, life, society and religion and dared to fight for freedom and equality.
Most women who love foreign literature like reading Charlotte's Jane Eyre. If we think that Charlotte wrote Jane Eyre just to write this lingering love. I think this is wrong. The author is also a woman, living in the turbulent middle of the19th century in England, when her thoughts had a brand-new beginning. What permeates Jane Eyre most is this idea-women's independent consciousness. Let's imagine that if Jane Eyre was independent, she would have been strangled in her childhood. Without that independence, she would have lived with Rochester, who has a wife and a daughter, and started a new life with money and status. If she didn't have that purity, Jane Eyre in our hands now is no longer a touching classic that makes people cry. So, I began to think about why Jane Eyre moved us so much and couldn't put it down-that is, her independent personality and exciting personality charm.
Helen's injustice is beyond the reach of ordinary people and beyond their understanding. Including Jane Eyre.
Helen's life in the world is short, but it shines like a meteor. The life of a seagoing ship is as splendid and tragic as the sunset. It is a noble beauty, an open-minded beauty, a magnificent beauty and an epic beauty.
I still remember waking up in that dream and trying to collect all the words and descriptions about Helen. I don't know why, but I am reluctant to part with her death. To my relief, I found a detail that I neglected. The book describes that "there is a Latin word on Helen's tombstone, which means I will be born again".
A sense of depression and inner sadness has finally been alleviated. I am very happy and at ease. Isn't Resurrection a symbol of Helen's noble spirit?
I think this is also the best interpretation of Helen's death.
People are cute not because they are beautiful, but because they are cute and beautiful and like Jane. Love, the most important thing is to like the description of love in the book. There is no explicit, vulgar or pornographic description, but what is presented to the reader is a touching and supreme love.
She always thinks that she is plain, low in status, penniless, insignificant, and only plain.
Poor life, like wild flowers and weeds, is left to its own devices without appreciation. I didn't expect that there was a flame-like love between her and her master. At first, she buried her love deeply in her heart. When having tea, lunch and taking a walk at night, she tried to calm herself down, but when she was alone, she opened the floodgate of memory, and the scene they got along with clearly reappeared, intoxicated with deep happiness. She repeatedly tried to test the marriage between Mr. Rochester and Miss Ingram, and Mr. Rochester pretended to be close to Miss Ingram. They test each other and examine each other, but in fact, their hearts have long been one. Mr. Rochester showed his unforgettable love for Jane: "I sometimes have a strange feeling about you-especially now, when you are near me, there seems to be a rope tied with a similar rope in the same place of your little body, so tight that you can't untie it." If the rough strait and about 200 miles of land separate us far away, at that time, my heart will bleed. ""For women who please me only by appearance, when I find that they have neither soul nor conscience-when they show me mediocrity, shallowness, and perhaps imbecility, vulgarity and violence, I am a complete demon; But for the sake of bright eyes, eloquent tongue, soul made of fire, gentle and steady, docile and firm, I will always be gentle and loyal. " This sentence touched Jane and the readers.
Getting married and having children should have been smooth sailing, but it was stranded because of a sudden change. Mr. Rochester's crazy ex-wife Jane appeared and left for her self-esteem and loyalty to love. Later, the crazy wife burned everything and jumped to her death. Mr rochester was blinded by the collapsed beam in order to save the crazy woman. Lonely and hidden in a cabin in the forest ... at this time, Jane came to him again. After centuries of meeting, there is no language and no passion like fire. They hugged each other tightly and walked quietly to the hut. ...
Jane? The novel Love takes Jane's character as the main line, and this ending serves Jane's character orientation. But what about Rochester? Doesn't Mr Rochester have the self-esteem and inferiority that Jane once had? Is it so easy for him and Jane to start a new happy life in the ruins of a fire?
The author ignores the truth and struggle of Mr. Rochester. This is actually easy to understand, just to complete the continuation of a pure love. If every kind of eccentric personality is constantly staged in turn, there will be no love in life, only quarrels.
As good as Charlotte? Bronte's female writer is still a woman. But a woman writing a novel, whether it can be established or not, can't escape giving it a happy ending.
Readers like this ending because life needs bright existence.
