我自己写的.自己看着修改一下.
The year 1847 was a particularly eventful one for the Bronte family. Three novels were published by the Bronte sisters under various pen names: Wuthering Heights by Ellis Bell; Agnes Grey by Acton Bell; and Jane Eyre: An Autobiography, edited by Currier Bell. Jane Eyre was published in five parts and was the talk of London. Charlotte Bronte’s novel continues to have great impact on the reading world. Her strong, lovely use of language and head-on confrontation of social issues of the day build a foundation for a story that is part personal, part allegorical, and as absorbing a tale today as it was over a hundred years ago.
Jane Eyre, an orphan whose care is considered an onerous duty to her aunt by marriage, never fits in with the spoiled, socially fixated family who consider her status far beneath them. Banned from the company of her cousins, she curls up in a window seat with a book. The nine-year-old Jane strikes back when her older cousin John finds her and punishes her for touching part of his future inheritance. She is sent to Lowood, a school run by a hypocritical minister. Though subjected to a starvation diet and branded a liar by the nefarious man of God, Jane endures. Her mettle is tested again and again, but through it all she remains faithful to the standard she has set for herself and others.
She reaches adulthood and leaves Lowood to become a governess at Thornhill. The mysterious, secret-burdened Mr. Rochester wins Jane’s love and she his respect, reminding him constantly that though she is a poor, plain governess, she is still his equal. He asks her to marry him, and it seems Jane will find happiness with this arrogant, sad man. Fate steps in to keep Jane from making the mistake of her life; the marriage is thwarted at the last minute, and Jane flees from Thornhill penniless and alone. She finds a new life, a new economic and social position, and eventually makes her way back to Thornhill to Rochester, a man laid low by his insane secret wife imprisoned in the attic.
Bronte uses her experience as teacher and governess to address certain social ambiguities common in the 1800s. Though often better educated than their employers, governesses were socially far below them, not quite servant but definitely not equal. Morally, our heroine is several notches above the man she refers to as Master. Jane’s assertion to Rochester on more than one occasion that she is his equal is especially poignant. She declines to become his mistress, preferring to choose a path that leaves her penniless but not morally bankrupt. She declares, “The more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained I am, the more I will respect myself.”
Stevie Davies’ introduction this edition is a rich with insight about Bronte’s life and the creation of this classic novel. This is a great book to visit for the first time during the long cold winter, or revisit for those of us who haven’t picked it up in a decade or so. Beautiful language never goes out of style.
Jane Eyre — A Beautiful Soul
Jane Eyre, is a poor but aspiring, small in body but huge in soul, obscure but self-respecting girl. After we close the covers of the book, after having a long journey of the spirit, Jane Eyre, a marvelous figure, has left us so much to recall and to think:
We remember her goodness: for someone who lost arms and blinded in eyes, for someone who despised her for her ordinariness, and even for someone who had hurt her deeply in the past.
We remember her pursuit of justice. It’s like a companion with the goodness. But still, a virtuous person should promote the goodness on one side and must check the badness on the other side.
We remember her self-respect and the clear situation on equality. In her opinion, everyone is the same at the God’s feet. Though there are differences in status、in property and also in appearance, but all the human being are equal in personality.
We also remember her striving for life, her toughness and her confidence…
When we think of this girl, what she gave us was not a pretty face or a transcendent temperament that make us admire deeply, but a huge charm of her personality.
Actually, she wasn’t pretty, and of course, the ordinary appearance didn’t make others feel good of her, even her own aunt felt disgusted with it. And some others even thought that she was easy to look down on and to tease, so when Miss Ingram met Jane Eyre, she seemed quite contemptuous, for that she was obviously much more prettier than ‘the plain and ugly governess’. But as the little governess had said: ‘Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong!’ This is the idea of equality in Jane Eyre’s mind. God hadn’t given her beauty and wealth, but instead, God gave her a kind mind and a thinking brain. Her idea of equality and self-respect impress us so much and let us feel the power inside her body.
In my mind, though a person’s beauty on the face can make others once feel that one is attractive and charming, if his or her mind isn’t the same beautiful as the appearance, such as beauty cannot last for, when others find that the beauty which had charmed them was only a falsity, it’s not true, they will like the person no 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 Kahill Gibran has said, that ‘Beauty is a heart enflamed and a soul enchanted’. I can feel that how beauty really is, as we are all fleshly men, so we can’t distinguish whether a man is of nobleness or humbleness, but fleshly men, so we can’t distinguish whether a man is of nobleness or humbleness, but as there are great differences in our souls, and from that, we can know that whether a man is noble or ordinary, and even obscure, that is, whether he is beautiful or not.
Her story makes us thinking about life and we learn much from her experience, at least, that is a fresh new recognition of the real beauty.
