每个人或多或少有过悲伤的经历,有过痛苦的抉择,有过对未知的恐惧,有过被别人抛弃的时刻,有过被别人嘲笑的瞬间,有过被别人的一面之词的误解,有过无助,有过叛逆,有过爱,有过恨,有过失望,有过绝望,当然也有希望,最后因为你的善良,你的坚强,你的勇敢,你的爱,在经历了困难,痛苦之后,在拼命挣扎之后,终于取得了自己的幸福。
当我读了《简爱》后,我从简爱的身上看到了那么多的困难与痛苦,那么多不同寻常的经历,那么不一般的爱情,那么难以抉择的事情,但是她却坚持的走了下来,把善良,坚强,勇敢,爱,尊严,从苦难中保留下来,让这些美好的品格脱颖而出,成为了让她最终走向幸福的砝码。
简爱从小就失去了双亲,在舅父,舅母家寄居篱下,善良的里德舅父去世后,舅母和她的堂兄一再对她施压,让她生活地艰难痛苦,尽管如此,她却并没有变得柔弱,并没有随便地将自己的尊严踩在脚下,并没有对心中的理想丧失信心,她热爱阅读,热爱美丽的风景,但是她的堂兄却因此将她一顿毒打,她没有忍气吞声,而是和堂兄对抗到底,但是最终因为寡不敌众被关进了里德舅父去世时的红房子里,因为极度的恐惧,她吓得大病一场,她和舅母的战争也越演越烈,最终她的舅母把她交给了洛伍德孤儿院。那里环境极其恶劣,院长是个卑鄙无耻的伪君子,从来不知道为那些可怜的孤儿奉献一点爱心,反而还从政府给的恩惠中收取回扣,让孩子们的精神与肉体受到双重考验。入学的第一天他就听信了简爱舅母的一面之词把简爱划分成一个叛逆,忘恩负义的小人,并且对她处处刁难,还让同学,老师嘲笑,完全没有尽到一个教师,乃至校长的责任,这种人只会成为社会的败类,人们心目中的恶魔。孤儿院的环境太差,导致许多孩子因为生病死去,简爱的好朋友海伦也在斑疹伤寒中去世了,但是因为这一次大型的疾病传染,也让孤儿院的环境有了一些改善,简爱在这种环境下生存了六年,并且当了两年的教师,但是由于善良的谭波尔儿小姐的辞职,让她对这个充满污垢的地方也不再有了任何希望,所以她在广告上求职当一名家庭教师,最终被桑菲尔德庄园的管家雇佣。她的学生是一个不到十岁的阿黛拉·瓦朗,而庄园的主人罗切斯特先生是一个喜欢旅游的人,经常不在家,而他们两人的懈垢也是在一次简爱偶然的散步中,遇到了从国外回来的罗切斯特先生,然后两个人在共同的经历中不断地增进了彼此的感情。罗切斯特先生是一个面目丑陋,但是却拥有一双迷人的双眼的男士,他性格忧郁,喜怒无常,但是因为拥有很多财富,所以一向女人缘很好。但是简爱却只在意这样一个存在在面前的人对待她的感情,他们在一次一次误会和试探中更为坚定了对彼此的感情,最终罗切斯特向简爱求婚并得到了许可,但是在结婚的当天有人指责说罗切斯特先生其实在十五年前已经结过婚,只不过他的妻子精神失常,被关在了阁楼上,简爱明白了楼顶上经常发出的尖叫声和奇异的声音,明白了罗切斯特先生房间着火的真相,明白了有人拿着她的婚纱试穿的那个女人原来就是罗切斯特先生的妻子。他们的婚礼被认为不符合法律而被终止,简爱也因此离开了罗切斯特,去需找新的生活。
她在饥寒交迫中被牧师圣.约翰收留,在当地做一个小学教师,后来她知道她的叔父给她留下一大笔财产,并且知道了圣约翰施自己的表哥,她决定将自己的财产分一半给他,但是他还希望简爱能和他一起去印度,以夫妻的身份去那里支教,简爱拒绝了以夫妻身份出现的条件,表示愿意以兄妹的关系,但是圣约翰并不同意,最终只能放走简爱,简爱在经历这么多后回到了罗切斯特身边,发现他已经双目失明了,因为他的妻子一场大火烧了整个庄园,自己也跳楼身亡,简爱决定和罗切斯特一起渡过难关,和他永远生活在一起。
我觉得简爱这本书,不仅仅单纯是一部讲述爱情的小说,更为主要的是一部励志的小说,是一个女性在困难面前如何和困难做斗争,如何取得自己的尊严,如何能够站着完成自己的理想。她充满激情与幻想,具有反抗的精神,对生命坚持不懈,对爱情矢志不渝,最终在她的坚持下,在她的善良指引下,她得到了财富,得到了爱情。
尽管我们相貌平平,但是却没有办法把这个作为自暴自弃的理由,再平凡的人也有向往着纯真,向往着善良,向往着爱情的时刻,不论是怎么饱受着生活带来的压抑,怎么饱受着生活地困苦,但是作为一个人我们永远都不应该忘记我们的尊严与底线,不能够放弃希望的火种。
简爱是迄今为止唯一可以让我变得坚强的书,唯一让我觉得很有力量,对未来很有希望的书。我看得书不多,其实也不是很喜欢文字,但是我却将简爱读了两三遍,有的时候我会想起简爱在面对强势的时候不是懦弱的退后,而是勇敢的冲上前和敌人对峙,她只要坚信自己没有错就敢据理力争,但是很多时候我却表现的十分懦弱无能,在明明自己可以做到的情况下,却选择放弃,最终只留下后悔和无奈,没有勇气拍案而起,却只是为了洁身自保,我想有的时候文人的懦弱也就体现与此。每当我想起简爱被侮辱时不时被眼泪蒙住双眼,而是用愤怒显示在双眼时,我觉得那是一个富有反抗精神的女性,不会让自己不明不白的就被冤枉,被侮辱,宁可直视对方,让对方无地自容,也不肯退步半分,这种勇敢我羡慕。每当我想到简爱虽然相貌平平却敢于追求美好的事物,并且充满激情与幻想,对未来充满希望,用善良,纯真的心灵做出爱的抉择,对爱情从来不会退让,敢于追求,敢于反抗,反抗表哥的要求,不要自己的命运被左右,我很是羡慕,很是鼓舞,我总是被自卑的心里左右着,叹怜自己的平凡,对于想要的不敢追求,对于不想要的又不敢反抗,最终也是只充满忧郁的心灵。其实每个人都有追求幸福的权力,没有人可以剥夺,重要的是自己够不够勇敢与坚强,对于未知的事物够不够执着,对于自己的心敢不敢认真听它说话。每个人都是平等的,上帝造人的时候把优点都散在了每个人的身上,只不过有的人的优点是显现出来的,有的人的优点是被人们当成习惯赞扬的,有的人的优点是没有被挖掘的,有的人的优点是外人不轻易看出来的。但是不是说轻易看不出来的就是不好的,往往看出了别人没有看出的优点才是一种财富,才会视对方为珍宝,才会更为珍惜。所以我们没有必要因为自己看似不够优秀而抑郁寡欢,我们的优点只有我们耐心等待,勇敢追求,善于找到那么唯一去发现,我们只需勇敢面对,等待春天的来临。
Many people simply regard Pride and Prejudice as a love story, but in my opinion, this book is an illustration of the society at that time. She perfectly reflected the relation between money and marriage at her time and gave the people in her works vivid characters. The characters have their own personalities. Mrs. Bennet is a woman who makes great efforts to marry off her daughters. Mr. Bingley is a friendly young man, but his friend, Mr. Darcy, is a very proud man who seems to always feel superior. Even the five daughters in Bennet family are very different. Jane is simple, innocent and never speaks evil of others. Elizabeth is a clever girl who always has her own opinion. Mary likes reading classic books. (Actually she is a pedant. Kitty doesn’t have her own opinion but likes to follow her sister, Lydia. Lydia is a girl who follows exotic things, handsome man, and is somehow a little profligate. When I read the book, I can always find the same personalities in the society now. That is why I think this book is indeed the representative of the society in Britain in the 18th century.
The family of gentleman in the countryside is Jane Austen’s favourite topic. But this little topic can reflect big problems. It concludes the stratum situation and economic relationships in Britain in her century. You can find these from the very beginning of this book.
The first sentence in this book is impressive. It reads: “It is a truth well known to all the world that an unmarried man in poss ession of a large fortune must be in need of a wife”. The undertone is very clear: the foundation of the marriage at that time is not emotion but possession.
People always think that Austen was an expert at telling love stories. In fact, the marriage in her book is not the result of love, but the result of economic needs. After reading this book, I know the truth is that a poor woman must be in need of a husband, a wealthy man.
I couldn’t forget how eager Mrs. Bennet wants to marry off her daughte rs. If you want to know why she is so crazy about these things, I must mention the situation in Britain at that time. Only the eldest son had the privilege of inheriting his father’s possessions. Younger sons and daughters who are used to luxurious lives have no choice but marry a man or woman in possession of a large fortune to continue their comfortable lives. Thus, we can see that getting married is a way to become wealthier, particularly for women without many possessions. Jane Austen told us that money and possession determined everything, including marriage and love in her century.
In “Pride and Prejudice”, the sister of Mr. Bingley strongly opposed his plan of marrying Jane because the Bennets don’t have many possessions and their social positions are much lower than them. From this, we can see there are a lot of obstacles for a not very rich woman to marry a wealthy husband. The society, the relatives would not allow them to get married.
In modern society, although the marriages of economic needs have decreased rapidly, the concept of “money determines everything” is still rooted in some people’s mind. A lot of parents try hard to interfere their children’s marriages. Education background, possessions, jobs remains the main reason that may influence one’s marriage. Marry for money is still a big problem in our
society. We can’t help thinking: can money determine everything?
Austen left this problem for us to think. The genius of Jane Austen lies in this perfect simplicity, the simplicity that reflects big problems. Although Austen was only 21 when she wrote “Pride and Prejudice”, her sharp observation of social lives makes the style of this book surprisingly mature and lively. The plots in her works are always very natural. The development of the plot is as inevitable as a problem in mathematics. I think the depth of Pride and Prejudice is the reason that makes this book prominent and classic. Today, her book still can be the guide telling us the economic relationships both at her time and in modern time.
This is a story about a special and unreserved woman who has been exposed to a hostile environment but continuously and fearlessly struggling for her ideal life. The story can be interpreted as a symbol of the independent spirit.
It seems to me that many readers’ English reading experience starts with Jane Eyer. I am of no exception. As we refer to the movie “Jane Eyer”, it is not surprising to find some differences because of its being filmized and retold in a new way, but the spirit of the novel remains----to be an independent person, both physically and mentally.
Jane Eyer was a born resister, whose parents went off when she was very young, and her aunt,the only relative she had,treated her as badly as a ragtag. Since Jane’s education in Lowwood Orphanage began, she didn’t get what she had been expecting——simply being regarded as a common person, just the same as any other girl around. The suffers from being humiliated and devastated teach Jane to be persevering and prize dignity over anything else.As a reward of revolting the ruthless oppression, Jane got a chance to be a tutor in Thornfield Garden. There she made the acquaintance of lovely Adele and that garden’s owner, Rochester, a man with warm heart despite a cold face outside. Jane expected to change the life from then on, but fate had decided otherwise: After Jane and Rochester fell in love with each other and got down to get marry, she unfortunately came to know in fact Rochester had got a legal wife, who seemed to be the shadow following Rochester and led to his moodiness all the time ----Rochester was also a despairing person in need of salvation. Jane did want to give him a hand, however, she made up her mind to leave, because she didn’t want to betray her own principles, because she was Jane Eyer. The film has finally got a symbolist end: Jane inherited a large number of legacies and finally returned. After finding Rochester ’s misfortune brought by his original mad wife, Jane chose to stay with him forever.
I don’t know what others feel, but frankly speaking, I would rather regard the section that Jane began her teaching job in Thornfield as the film’s end----especially when I heard Jane’s words “Never in my life have I been awaken so happily. ” For one thing, this ideal and brand-new beginning of life was what Jane had been imagining for long as a suffering person; for another, this should be what the audiences with my views hoped her to get. But the professional judgment of producing films reminded me to wait for a totally different result: There must be something wrong coming with the excellence----perhaps not only should another section be added to enrich the story, but also we may see from the next transition of Jane’s life that “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you would get.”
What ’s more, this film didn’t end when Jane left Thornfield. For Jane Eyer herself, there should always be somewhere to realize her great ideal of being independent considering her fortitude, but for Rochester, how he can get salvation? The film gives the answer tentatively: Jane eventually got back to Rochester. In fact, when Jane met Rochester for the first time, she scared his horse and made his heel strained, to a certain extent, which meant Rochester would get retrieval because of Jane. We can consider Rochester’s experiences as that of religion meaning. The fire by his frantic wife was the punishment for the cynicism early in his life. After it, Rochester got the mercy of the God and the love of the woman whom he loved. Here we can say: human nature and divinity get united perfectly in order to let such a story accord with the requirements of both two sides. The value of this film may be due to its efforts to explore a new way for the development of humanism under the faith of religion.
