Reading Notes of Pride and Prejudice
“It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.” This beginning sentence of the book seems to tell us the main story of the book is about the marriage of rich men. The heroine of the book is Elizabeth and at the chapter One, we are told that the father Mr. Bennet prefers Elizabeth among his daughters, in this case, Elizabeth must be a girl who is more special and intelligent.
The story is about love and marriage. Charlotte married Collins because his fortune and she feels nervous about her age even the man is so old-fashioned and ingratiating. However, their marriage is about money and they do not get the real happy. The other man Wickham is a handsome but a man who is a liar. He lies to Elizabeth to gain her appreciation. And his love with Lydia is shallow and about appearance. The love of Jane and Bingley has a better ending. They have love in the relationship and appreciate each other because of the deeper virtue. But they do come through a lot because the misunderstanding they had before.
The love of Elizabeth and the hero of the book Darcy responses the title Pride and Prejudice. In the eye of Elizabeth, Darcy is no doubt pride and arrogant. Darcy falls in love with Elizabeth and proposes marriage to her, but he is still very arrogant so Elizabeth refuses him directly. Darcy
feels hard hit and regrets of being arrogant. However, Elizabeth has a prejudice about Darcy at the very beginning and mistaken believes in Wickham but she finally knows the truth and feels shame of her family. Darcy moves Elizabeth with his pleasant virtue in the end.
This is a story about a special and ueserved 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 Lomon 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 eich 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.” (By Forrest Gump’s mother, in the film “Forrest Gump”
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.
Life is ceaselessly changing, but our living principles remain. Firmly persisting for the rights of being independent gives us enough confidence and courage, which is like the beacon over the capriccioso sea of life. In the world of the film, we have found the stories of ourselves, which makes us so concerned about the fate of the dramatis personae.
In this era of rapid social and technological change leading to increasing life complexity and psychological displacement, both physical and mental effects on us call for a balance. We are likely to find ourselves bogged down in the Sargasso Sea of information overload and living unconsciousness. It’s our spirit that makes the life meaningful.
Heart is the engine of body, brain is the resource of thought, and great films are the mirrors of life. In
dubitably, “Jane Eyer” is one of them.
大地一瞬的晃动带走了你幼小的生命,你的离去,把我的欢笑也随之带走。孩子,还记得妈妈经常给你唱的那首歌吗?“小燕子,穿花衣,年年春天来这里......。”妈妈多么希望你能像那燕子一样飞回我的`身旁。
孩子,你走得好快,妈妈还抱着你三月的温床,妈妈还在为你清洗已经干净的衣裳。妈妈知道,你再也不会听我唱《小燕子》了,可我为什么还在唱?我曾无数次对着天空大喊:“我的孩子,可不可以回到妈妈身旁,我不能失去你。”我抱怨上苍,恨天为什么不眷顾我,为什么将你赐给我,在片刻的欢乐之后,又把你带走,难道你和妈妈的缘分已尽了吗?
或许你本来就是天上的仙子,却不幸落入人间承受这一灾难。你的降临只为等待那个五月吗?在你落入凡间的那个三月,孤凄冷寂。三月,柳絮不飞,因为春风恨你;三月,桃花不红,因为芳华妒你。于是,你又回到了天堂。在那儿,一定有许多小朋友陪着你,对吗?去天堂的路很黑,妈妈照不到你,只能一遍一遍为你哼唱那首歌“小燕子,穿花衣,年年春天来这里......”。妈妈希望这首歌能给你带来勇气,妈妈希望这首歌能让你更加坚强。
我的孩子,你走的那么急,妈妈还没有吻你最后一次。你给我留下了太多的遗憾和悔恨。妈妈还不想松开你的小手,但你为什么这样无情,头也不回地朝着天堂奔走,难道一点对妈妈的眷恋也没有吗?
“妈妈,不要哭,我想听你高兴的为我唱《小燕子》。”孩子,是你在说话吗?你在天上看着妈妈,对吗?花在摇曳,弱得不能再弱的花,凋谢了却化作春泥的养料。人在哭泣流得不能再流的泪,风干了却凝聚成坚毅刚强。歌还在唱,因为这首歌,因为有你,妈妈不在怨恨,我会在人间为你祈祷,希望你在天堂过得幸福。
妈妈不会再哭,我要对着天空微笑,对着你笑,妈妈不会让你失望,我要更加坚强,用爱的力量为你高唱那首歌。宝贝,你听到了吗?
