作者创作《简·爱》时的英国已是世界上的头号工业大国,但英国妇女的地位并因此而得到改变,依然处于从属、依附的地位,女子的生存目标就是要嫁入豪门,即便不能生在富贵人家,也要努力通过婚姻获得财富和地位,女性职业的惟一选择是当个好妻子、好母亲。以作家为职业的女性会被认为是违背了正当女性气质,会受到男性的激烈攻击,从夏洛蒂姐妹的作品当初都假托男性化的笔名一事,可以想见当时的女性作家面临着怎样的困境。而《简·爱》就是在这一被动的背景下写成的。
1 No one can deny the fact that ...
2 The idea is hardly supported by facts.

简·爱是个孤女,她出生于一个贫穷的牧师家庭。不久父母相继去世。
幼小的简·爱寄养在舅父母家里。舅父里德先生去世之后,简·爱过了10年倍受尽歧视和虐待的生活。舅母把她视作眼中钉,并把她和自己的孩子隔离开来,从此,她与舅母的对抗更加公开和坚决了,简被送进了罗沃德孤儿院。
孤儿院教规非常的严厉,生活很艰苦,院长是个冷酷的伪君子。简·爱在孤儿院继续受到精神和肉体上的摧残。由于恶劣的生活条件,孤儿院经常有孩子病死,她最好的朋友海伦患肺结核去世。海伦去世后也使孤儿院有了大的改善。简·爱在新的环境下接受了六年的教育,并在这所学校任教两年。由于谭波尔儿小姐的离开,简·爱厌倦了孤儿院里的生活,登广告谋求家庭教师的职业。桑菲尔德庄园的女管家聘用了她。庄园的男主人罗切斯特经常在外旅行,她的学生是一个不到10岁的女孩阿黛拉·瓦朗,罗切斯特是她的保护人。
一天黄昏,简·爱外出散步,邂逅刚从国外归来的主人,这是他们的第一次见面。以后她发现她的主人是个性格忧郁、喜怒无常的人,对她的态度也是时好时坏。整幢房子沉郁空旷,有时还会听到一种令人毛骨悚然的奇怪笑声。一天,简·爱在睡梦中被这种笑声惊醒,发现罗切斯特的房间着了火,简·爱叫醒他并帮助他扑灭了火。
罗切斯特回来后经常在家举行家宴。在一次家宴上向一位名叫英格拉姆的漂亮小姐大献殷勤,简·爱被召进客厅,却受到布兰奇母女的冷遇,她忍受屈辱,离开了客厅。此时,她已经爱上了罗切斯特。其实罗切斯特也已爱上简·爱,他只是想试探简·爱对自己的爱情。当他向简·爱求婚时,她答应了他。
在婚礼的前夜,简·爱在朦胧中看到一个面目可憎的女人,在镜前披戴她的婚纱。第二天,当婚礼在教堂悄然进行时,突然有人出证:罗切斯特先生15年前已经结婚。他的妻子原来就是那个被关在三楼密室里的疯女人。法律阻碍了他们的爱情,使两人陷入深深的痛苦之中。在一个凄风苦雨之夜,简·爱离开了罗切斯特。在寻找新的生活出路的途中,简·爱风餐露宿,沿途乞讨,历尽磨难,最后在泽地房被牧师圣·约翰收留,并在当地一所小学校任教。不久,简·爱得知叔父去世并给她留下一笔遗产,同时还发现圣·约翰是她的表兄,简·爱决定将财产平分。圣·约翰是个狂热的教徒,打算去印度传教。他请求简·爱嫁与他并和他同去印度,但理由只是简·爱适合做一位传教士的妻子。简·爱拒绝了他,并决定再去看看罗切斯特。她回到桑菲尔德庄园,那座宅子已成废墟,疯女人放火后坠楼身亡,罗切斯特也受伤致残。简·爱找到他并大受震动,最终和他结了婚,得到了自己理想的幸福生活。

“敬爱的顾客朋友们,大家好。欢迎你们来参观本公司新研制的高科技书籍产品。这种书籍产品分为多种类型,现在由我向您一一介绍。”说完,老板便拿起一本书:“顾客朋友们,现在展现在你们眼前的就是本公司新研制的'产品之一—超薄式书,这种书,看上去就像一张纸,其实不然,大家请看。”老板把书拿侧了,继续说:“这里有三个按钮,一红一白一蓝,按红色按钮,书面内容会自动转到,白色按钮则返回,并且书的设计也会随着内容所改变。这本书就像个小书店,里面有上百本书,您只要在书皮上写上书名,按下蓝色按钮,便会出现这本书的内容。这种书携带方便,适合出门远游者使用。”
台下响起一片掌声。
老板又拿起一本书说:“这是播音机式的书。别看它普普通通,其实它暗藏“***机”。你们千万别误会,这“***机”指的是微型播音机,这种播音机小得几乎看不见。这种书也有两个按钮,一黄一蓝,按黄钮,微型播音机就会把书的内容一字一端地读出来。如果您不看了,并再按黄钮,它并停止播音。而蓝钮则是用来调节音量和速度。这种书主要是给盲人和小孩使用。”台下又是一片掌声。
“今天就介绍到这里,大家明天继续捧场。要买书的顾客请到购书处。”
