简爱的读书笔记摘抄及赏析

简爱的读书笔记摘抄及赏析

简爱的读书笔记摘抄及赏析简爱的读书笔记摘抄及赏析篇1《简爱》是十九世纪英国著名的女作家夏洛帝.勃朗特的代表作。

*讲述了一位从小变为孤儿的英国女性简.爱在各种世俗的磨难中追求自由与尊严,坚持自我,最终获得幸福的故事。

小说赞颂了简爱敢于追求平等和争取自由的精神。

简爱从小被寄养在舅父母家中,饱受其歧视虐待。

因此,她从小就感受到了社会的残酷与不公,然而她并不屈服于这种对于人格践踏的行为,而是保持反抗。

此后她进入了孤儿院,在孤儿院中遭受非人的待遇,这使她历炼出一颗坚强勇敢的心。

经过8年,简爱作为一名家庭教师被应聘至桑菲尔德庄园,在那她遇到了宿命君子:罗切斯特。

两人相爱,但简爱由于无法接受罗切斯特已婚的事实而离开了他,在途中简爱遇到了一名牧师并与他在一起生活。

后来当她打探到罗切斯特落魄的消息时,她毫不犹豫地回到他身边照顾他,两人最终获得了幸福。

整本书中最吸引我的地方在于简强大的人格魅力,她对罗切斯特说过这样一句话:"你以为我会无足轻重的留在这里吗?你以为我贫穷低微,不美、渺小,我就没有灵魂,没有心肠吗......我是用我的灵魂在与你对话,就仿佛两人穿过坟墓,一同站在上帝脚下,彼此平等,人与人之间不以差异而分等级,每一个人都是以平等的形式活在世上的。

”简爱无视社会不公的规则,诠释了一个干净的、受尊重的灵魂。

正是如此,罗切斯特被她正直、高尚的灵魂所感染,越过阶级的鸿沟,真心爱慕着她。

书中两人的爱情并不一帆风顺,简爱发现罗切斯特已婚的事实后,毅然离去,这是她对自己的尊重以及独特的爱情观,相爱是无需羁绊的。

但在得知罗切斯特不幸的消息后,她却回到了他身边,抛却一切世俗的眼光与之永远相伴。

至今为止,《简.爱》给我的精神世界所带来的光辉一直未被埋没,不论经历多少尘埃,那个鲜明的简明的简爱的形象仍在我的脑海中挥之不去。

她让我在越过人生之桥时始终保持自己的那一份人格,守护心中的信念。

她的精神鼓舞着我在接下来的生活中以一颗坚强、独立、不谕的心来面对。

夏洛蒂勃朗特《简爱》的月亮意象及其意蕴探析

夏洛蒂勃朗特《简爱》的月亮意象及其意蕴探析

《简·爱》的月亮意象及其意蕴探析一、引言《简·爱》是夏洛蒂·勃朗特创作的一部长篇小说,1847年一经出版便轰动文坛,具有经久不息的艺术魅力。

这部作品的艺术魅力不仅在于塑造了独具一格的人物形象,展开了曲折生动的情节,还在于对月亮意象别有匠心的使用方式。

勃朗特笔下的月亮意象往往与情节相配合,与氛围相呼应,成为《简·爱》中一道引人注目的艺术风景线。

学界对这一点早有注意,不同的学者对其进行了多角度阐发。

对《简·爱》中月亮意象的研究最早始于西方,Robert B. Heilman 的Charlotte Brontë, Reason, and the Moon(1960)一文可谓是这一领域的开山之作。

在文中,Robert B. Heilman重点阐述了夏洛蒂·勃朗特的“月亮迷信”,并以勃朗特多部小说中的月亮意象作为例证。

此后,国外学者虽延承了对《简·爱》月亮意象的研究,但多抓住细枝末节进行发散,研究的体系性有待提升。

国内对《简·爱》中月亮意象的研究最早始于1997年郎芳的《〈简·爱〉的主题意象:——月亮与火》。

此后,国内学者的相关研究多采用分类式方法,将《简·爱》中的月亮粗略归结为两至三类。

这种简单分类的做法有牵强附会之嫌,也导致了研究的同质化局面。

基于对研究现状的归纳,在本文中首先梳理多种“月亮”表述形式在小说中的意蕴,据此进一步以两个“为何”为问题导向,探讨夏洛蒂·勃朗特“为何要”使用月亮意象的心理价值原因,以及“为何能”使用月亮意象的文化传统因素。

二、《简·爱》中的月亮意象(一)《简·爱》中月亮的重要性“月亮”构成了《简·爱》中一个重要的意象,这从它的出现次数上就可见一斑。

为印证月亮意象对《简·爱》其文的重要性,笔者借助计量语言学的方法对其出现次数进行严格细致的统计,并采用英文原版作为统计对象以避免中译本翻译过程中产生的偏差,得到有关数据如下:表1 月亮/月光出现频次统计表从上述表格可以见出,“月亮”意象在《简·爱》全书中以7种不同形态总共出现了65次,其次数之多足以说明夏洛蒂·勃朗特其人对于月亮意象的重视。

浅论英汉译艺——《简·爱》两种中译本评析

浅论英汉译艺——《简·爱》两种中译本评析

浅论英汉译艺——《简·爱》两种中译本评析英汉译艺是文学翻译的核心问题,也是人们最感兴趣的领域。

《简爱》作为英国文学史上的经典之作,也被很多译者翻译出来,但这些译本对于中文读者来说有着不同的风格,可以让他们体会到英国文学的不同之处。

本文以《简爱》两个中文译本为例,对英汉译艺进行浅析,旨在从新的角度探讨英汉译艺的一些特征。

《简爱》是由英国著名小说家大仲马创作的,讲述了小女孩简爱及其家庭成员们卷入英国上层社会的荒谬时代中,被迫屈服于社会的种种客观条件下的爱情的故事。

自上世纪八十年代以来,该作品就被世界各地的读者熟悉,受到广大读者的青睐。

其中有两种中文译本,分别是张梓敏译本和李元应译本。

张梓敏的译本重视文字的表达形式,将英文的精髓准确地传达出来,在表达和意义上贴近原文。

但他的译文中仍会有些陌生、生硬的词语,使得人们难以理解。

同时,他在译本中也加入了一些自己的理解,让读者能够更加清晰地理解文章的内容。

李元应的译本则比较注重叙事的流畅性,他的译本的文字更加流畅,但有时也会改变原意。

此外,他的译本中也加入了一些比喻等修辞手法,让读者能够从新的角度理解这部作品。

从上述对两种中译本译者英汉译艺角度分析,可以看出,英汉译艺本质上是根据原作的内容和文体特征,将英文表达的思想准确地传达到中文中,并采用相应的表达方式,使译文准确、丰富、流畅。

首先,译者需要熟悉英语语言特点,例如英式及美式语法、词汇及句子构造等,其中的趣味及表达也要搞清楚。

其次,译者也要深入理解原作的内涵,了解作者的意图,以便把握译文的灵魂,全面准确地表达文字的精髓。

此外,译者还要把握译文的风格和表达方式,以免违反文学惯例,使译文更具有文学性和文学质量。

因此,在实践中,译者们要更好地理解原作的文学思想,把握译文表达的重点,尽最大可能还原原作的内容,使译文表达准确、流畅。

同时,在译文中也可以加入自己的理解,丰富读者阅读体验,让读者能够准确地理解作者的思想,全面把握原文的内容和意义,从而使译文更加流畅有趣。

浅论英汉译艺——《简·爱》两种中译本评析

浅论英汉译艺——《简·爱》两种中译本评析

浅论英汉译艺——《简·爱》两种中译本评析简爱是英国著名小说家夏洛蒂勃朗特创作的英语小说,发表于1848年,主要讲述了一个名叫简爱的女孩在试图建立自己的未来并对自己的命运抗争时所遇到的种种困难。

小说以其丰富的内容、优美的文笔以及弥漫的爱情气氛而受到阅读者的热烈欢迎,它极大地影响了后人的文学创作,被世界上的许多文学家认为是现代英语小说的奠基之作。

经过几代译者的努力,《简爱》最终以中文形式出现,这其中最著名的中译本有姚若龙译本和高峰译本,这两种中译本的译本不仅受到了国内的好评,而且被国外学者所认可,成为研究夏洛蒂勃朗特文学的基础。

一、姚若龙译本姚若龙译本是著名译家姚若龙于1944年翻译的一种中译本,其简洁的文笔忠实地呈现了夏洛蒂勃朗特的文学主题,简爱对所处的环境的看法、其心理变化的客观叙述,正如英文原著一般,读起来极具节奏感,充满欢乐与抒情气息。

姚若龙翻译的《简爱》具有良好的读者友好性,把他用洋洋洒洒的文字描绘得栩栩如生,不仅准确、精确,而且读起来颇为贴近原文。

在情节上,姚若龙重新构筑了夏洛蒂勃朗特笔下简爱从心理上的变化与其他人物的关系,重现了简爱在人生道路上所遇到的困难,使之真实可信。

二、高峰译本高峰译本是由学者、译家高峰所翻译的一种中文本,它的翻译风格比姚若龙译本更接近英文本,充分发挥了译者所掌握的英语文法及实际知识,强调了简爱对抗亲情、理性及对尊严的种种斗争,把原文的抒情和乐趣完整地表现出来,受到读者的一致好评。

在高峰的翻译中,简爱的思想观念、其不断追求自由的精神行为,以及其在处理家庭关系时的自我探索,都被高峰用犀利的文字表达的淋漓尽致,可以说,在《简爱》的中译本中,高峰的译本可以被认为是最具艺术气息的译稿。

三、比较从以上分析可以看出,姚若龙译本和高峰译本在译者所挑选的文本,以及翻译时所用的语言方式上都有所不同,从而把原文传达得更加明晰,让读者更加容易接受和理解,并帮助读者更好地了解夏洛蒂勃朗特的文学精神。

《简·爱》英文读后感1《Jane Eyre》is a great novel which was written by Charotte Bronte,the famous woman author,in1847.Jane Eyre was an orphan and she have to lived in her aunt’s home.She was terribly treated by her aunt.She is longing for freedom.After graduated from Lowood,a boarding school,she became a tutor and began to teach in Thornfield.At Thornfield,the owner of the hall,Mr.Rochester and Jane began to love each ether.But when they were at the wedding,someone brought a message which said that Mr.Rochester has married.Jane got a shock and leave Mr.Rochester.After suffered much misfortune.She became rich and gentility.But she went back to the side of Mr.Rochester who needed help and love.Jane Eyre is neither gentility nor beautiful at first.But she is full of love and abhor evil as a deadly foe.She excused her aunt and Mr.Rochester.She pursued true love,so she refused St.John’s proposing.Jane Eyre’s rough live was very similar with Charlotte Bronte’s.Charlotte used Jane’s mouth expatiated her idea-freedom,true love,equality,respect.and peaceful life.These seems easy to get,but they are the most valuable things in the world. 《简·爱》英文读后感2Jane Eyre, is a poor but aspiring, small in body but huge in soul, obscure but self-respecting girl. After we close the covers ofthe 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 r emember 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 a nd 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 ideaof 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, o nly 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.《简·爱》英文读后感3Jane Eyre gives me much useful inspiration after reading it. I respect Jane Eyre’s independence and I am most impressed by the true love between jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester who was a poor blind man, twenty years older than her.Jane Eyre never felt herself inferior as a tutor before Mr. Rochester and gained an equal status. She had lofty sentiments and was pure in mind. She had not been contaminated by common customs, so Mr.Rochester was attracted by her independent personality and falling love with her.In the story, Jane Eyre dismissed the chaise and driver with the double remuneration, which reflected her determination to come back to Mr. Rochester. She did not know whether Mr. Rochester was really there, but she still groped about in the twilight and came to the desolate house. She missed him that much. She only hoped that Mr Rochester let her live with him even if she found Mr Rochester blind and mutilated.Mr rochester became extremely excited when he heard and felt his beloved Jane was still living. He suggested that Jane marry one of the other young men because he thought himself as a sightless block. But he also showed his jealousy when Jane talked about St. John’s proposing marriage. All in all, Mr. Rochester was always loving Jane deeply.Mr. Rochester once exclaimedJane,Jane!Janeand Jane heared Rochester’s voice calling to her. Her voice replied,I am coming. Wait for me I think these are the call of love and the answer of love.Later on, after their marriage, Mr.Rochester miraculously regained his sight and lived happily with Jane.Personally, love can fasten the hearts of lovers tightly. Love is beyond time and space and the miracle of love can lead prayers to become reality.《简·爱》英文读后感4Recently, I have reading the book "Jane Eyre”.Although I forgot some details in the book, Jane gave me deeply impression, I admire her very much. After that the teacher also told us to put the play in to a movie, and then we all can touch each hero’s soul in the book. The play it mainly tell us how Jane is growing up when suffering from great difficulties and painless. whats more, it is impressed me that she still love hermaster even if he is blind at last due to rescue his mad wife. And I like the Classic lines what Jane said to Mr. Rochester :"Do you think I can stay to become nothing to you? Do you think I am an automaton?--a machine without feelings? and can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips, and my drop of living water dashed from my cup?Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong!--I have as much soul as you,--and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh;--it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at Gods feet, equal,--as we are!" its so beautiful, Jane is a girl who will never lose confidence in life and always sensible when handling with some motional problems. Jane was huge in my heart. She can control her life and fate. She knew how to continue her life and she got it!Maybe after what she told me I have known that what love is and how to love and to be loved! The book is a book worth of reading, so all in all let’s enjoy it!《简·爱》英文读后感5"Jane Eyre" has been published since 87 years, and has been in the past many years. Time does not affect his light. T oday he is still a great work. In the history of literature, many of the classic masterpiece will be immortal, but can look like "Jane Eyre" so deeply into peoples souls, it has attracted tens of thousands of readers with an irresistible beauty, affecting peoples spiritual world, even for some people, the work affects their lives not many.Jane Eyre is a novel with autobiography, which explains the theme of human value = dignity + love.The author of this book, Charlotte Bronte and Emily, the author of Wuthering Heights, are sisters. Though they live in the same living environment, they are quite different from their family environment. Charlottes character is gentle, pure, and he likes to pursue some beautiful things more. Although she was poor in her family, she had little care from her parents, and she was not so beautiful and stature. But perhaps it is such a deep inferiority in soul, which reflects a very sensitive self-esteem in her character, and takes self-esteem as the compensation for her inferiority.Her description of Janes love is also a beautiful, small woman, but she has a very strong pride. She is unswervingly pursuing a good life.Jane Eyre, living in an orphaned, happy environment, grew up under treatment with peers, abandoned aunt, cousin of contempt, insults and beatings cousin the ruthless trample on a childs dignity, but perhaps it is because of all this, Jane love unlimited confidence and a firm and inflexible spirit, which can overcome the inherent personalityUnfortunately, in the study life, Jane. Love is still suffering from corporal punishment and mental disability. School donor rocor Hearst not only when all the teachers and students face to defame her and put her shame on the stage show. She was ashamed in front of the whole school. But Jane. Love is firm and inflexible, turn grief into strength, not only the rapid progress in learning, but also made the teachers and students to understand. Soon, Jane. Love has fallen into the whirlpool of love. Her strong personality and also keep personal dignity, is great lady rival infront, favorably, overbearing for miss Ingram, she was calm in the face. Similarly, in front of Rochester, she never because he is an inferior status of the family teachers feel inferior, she thinks they are equal. It should not be because she is a servant, but not to be respected by others. It is also because of her integrity, noble and pure, the soul is not polluted by the secular society. Rochester zican are made of dirty, at the same time respect for her and deeply in love with her. He was sincere and moved her, and she accepted him. Later, Jane. Love found that Rochester had a wife, her self-esteem again appeared, without hesitation, she left him, her love for the exclusive, let me admire.The ending of the novel is perfectly happy. Although the manor of Rochester was destroyed by his mad wife, his eyes were blind, and became a disabled person. But this is the fact that Jane is no longer in contradiction between dignity and love, but at the same time, he is happy.The novel tells us that the most wonderfull life is human dignity and love, I really appreciate the author of this wonderful life ideal - is the dignity and love, after all, in todays society, the persons value = dignity + love this formula to pay to achieve often cannot do without the help of money. Choose between rich and poor, choose between love and no love. Few people will abandon everything for love, like Jane, and do not care.In the face of setbacks, we should have a "thousand mill strike" ambition, as long as there is hope, do not give up, stand up, continue to move forward, because, after all the journey to buy a return ticket. The test of thousands of setbacks has created our persistent character, molded our strong will and trained our excellent skills and paved the way for us to succeed. In the setback, we have a little bit of strength, step by step to the glory.Let us full of "fate by the throat" of the lofty sentiments and aspirations to challenge setbacks, overcome setbacks! 《简·爱》英文读后感6Jane Eyre — A Beautiful SoulJane Eyre, is a poor but aspiring, small in body but huge insoul, obscure but self-respecting girl. After we close the coversof 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 ineyes, for someone who despised her for her ordinariness, and evenfor someone who had hurt her deeply in the past.We remember her pursuit of justice.

But still, a virtuous person should promote the goodnesson 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. Thoughthere are differences in status、in property and also in appearance,but all the human being are equal in personality.We also remember her s triving for life, her toughness and herconfidence…When we think of this girl, what she gave us was not a pretty faceor a transcendent temperament that make us admire deeply, but ahuge charm of her personality.Actually, she wasn’t pretty, and of course, the ordinary appearancedidn’t make others feel good of her, even her own aunt feltdisgusted with it. And some others even thought that she was easyto look down on and to tease, so when Miss Ingram met Jane Eyre,she seemed quite contemptuous, for that she was obviously much moreprettier than ‘the plain and ugly governess’.But as the littlegoverness 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 min d. God hadn’t givenher beauty and wealth, but instead, God gave her a kind mind and athinking brain. Her idea of equality and self-respect impress us somuch and let us feel the power inside her body.In my mind, though a person’s beauty on the face can make othersonce feel that one is attractive and charming, if his or her mindisn’t the same beautiful as the appearance, such as beauty cannotlast for, when others find that the beauty which had charmed themwas only a falsity, it’s not true, they will like the person nomore.

She writes lots of works in her life. She sets to work on a new novel,Jane Eyre, which is published in August, 1847. Jane Eyre is her masterpiece which is a world famous novel. Jane Eyre has been translated into many languages and is always high in reading popularity. Jane Eyre, a plain, timid, weak and pale girl who appears to be a heroine, exists in numerous people’s minds. It seem s to be a strange phenomenon. How can she arouse the eminent attention of the readers throughout the world? Because Jane Eyre stands for an idealized woman in the 19th century. Charlotte Bronte aims at awakening women's consciousness and courage to equal rights and freedom. Jane Eyre cuts a completely new woman image. She represents those middle-class working women who are struggling for the recognition of their basic rights and equality as a human being. Jane strives with all difficulties to gain women’s liberation and to pursue freedom, equality and true love. The analysis of Jane’s personalities and her attitudes toward love has shown partly Jane’s love — a kind of direct, enthusiastic and faithful love. The story of the independent-minded Jane and her love affair with Mr. Rochester opens up new dimension for women. She is a typical character of awakening bourgeois intellectual women. The heroine Jane moves most readers as a kind and unique image in spite of her plainness, poverty and low position. The profound meaning of Jane’s personalities makes this novel an extremely important work lists in the history of world literature as well as in the English literature.Chapter One The D evelopment of Jane Eyre’s Resistance1.1 Outburst period at GatesheadJane Eyre seems to be pale, thin and weak. She is like a piece of dust, nobody pays attention to her. At any time she may disappear. She was born an orphan, with an unfortunate family and long time repressive feeling; she builds up her resistant emotion. Under this background, everyone looks down upon her. Jane asks herself “why was I always suffering, always browbeaten, always abused, for ever condemned.” (Bronte, 2002:13) Her reason says “unjust!-unjust!” (Bronte, 2002:14) A first angry voice bursts out from her deep heart. When John beats her again, she attacks him viciously. She shouts at him, “Wicked and cruel boy! You are like a murderer —you are like a slav e-driver—you are like the Roman emperors!" (Bronte, 2002:7) When Mrs. Reed tells Mr. Brocklehurst that Jane has a bad character and a deceitful disposition, she defends that “I am not deceitful: if I were, I should say I loved you; but I declare I do not love you: I dislike you the worst of anybody in the world except John Reed; and this book about the liar, you may give it to your girl, Georgiana, for it is she who tells lies, and not I." (Bronte, 2002:48) However, Jane is a brave soldier who dares to face up all kinds of injustice and fights against them. Before she leaves Gateshead, she rebukes her aunt’s cruelty, “How dare I, Mrs. Reed? How dare I? Because it is the truth. You think I have no feelings and that I can do without one bit of love or kindness; but I cannot live so: and you have no pity. I shall remember how you thrust me back—roughly and violently thrust me back—into the red- room, and locked me up there, to my dying day; though I was in agony; though I cried out, while suffocating with distress, ‘Have mercy! Have mercy, Aunt Reed!’And that punishment you made me suffer because your wicked boy struck me—knocked me down for nothing. I will tell anybody who asks me questions, this exact tale. People think you a good woman, but you are bad, hard-hearted. You are deceitful!” (Bronte, 2002:49) Jane suffers various violent treatments by her aunt and cousins; she tries her best to be a good girl but only results in failure in Mrs. Reed’seyes.Jane resists and resists, but finally breaks out and speaks all her anger; Jane’s courage frightens Mrs. Reed, for she knows Jane is right. In those days at Gateshead Hall, Jane's strong, brave and unbending characteristics are expressed step by step. Her every behavior shows her great indignation. Isolation, poverty, discrimination and oppression cause her to revolt against the unfair society in her own way. Jane is driven away from and escapes from Reed’s house partly because of fearless courage. Jane fights not only for just treatment, but also for equality. This is the first step of the development of Jane Eyre’s rebellious character.1.2 Jane’s resistance at Lowood InstitutionLowood Institution is a charity school for poor clergymen’s da ughters. Jane lives here for eight years. Her rebellious sprits become mature. In fact it is a hell for poor girls. The school is like a prison dominated by cold, implacable cruelty and Brocklehurst. Children here are not supplied with enough food, clothes and good treatment of disease. Many of them die of illness. They have no love and sympathy at all, living in hunger and cold. Children must pray for God and thank for oppressors. Helen, a clever, intelligent and beautiful girl receives curse and beat, finally loses her young life. She believes in God. She says to Jane, “I am sure there is a future state; I believe God is good; I can resign my immortal part to Him without any misgiving. God is my father; God is my friend: I love Him; I believe He loves me.”(Bronte, 2002:121) Just because of these ideas, Helen has n’t a little rebel against that kind of cruel treatment.However Jane is not like Helen. She always tries to rebel, though she is still a child. She tells Helen: “A great deal: you are good to those who are good to you. It is all I ever desire to be. If people were always kind and obedient to those who are cruel and unjust, the wicked people would have it all their own way: they would never feel afraid, and so they would never alter, but would grow worse and worse. When we are struck at without a reason, we should strike back again very hard; I am sure we should—so hard as to teach the person who struck us never to do it again." (Bronte,2002:82) This rhythmic and forceful speech embodies the deep bourgeois oppression of the lower women and Jane’s rebellious spirit. To achieve independence as an equal human, Jane never yields to fate and background. She does as she says. Her attitude towards her cousins, her aunt and Mr. Brocklehurst all proves it.Another woman, Miss Temple, is also admired and deeply loved by Jane. Miss Temple’s learning stimulates Jane’s longing for intelligence and Miss Temple’s kindness stirs up her enthusiasm for ideal life. So when Miss Temple leaves Lowood, Jane can’t put up with dullness and isolation there. She thinks that now she is left in her natural element, and begins to feel the stirring of old emotions. Jane looks forward to a new life and a free sky. No matter what will happen in the future, she will face it bravely. The rebellious fury is burnt again. Then Jane makes an advertisement and gets a governess profession at Thornfield. In this period, Jane’s rebellious spirit is up to a new standard and catches a more profound meaning. Her fighting is not only against a person, but against the social convention.1.3 The perfection period at Thornfield and Moor HouseAt Thornfield, Jane, as a grown-up, changes her harshness into a refined woman with good education, delicacy of feeling and gentleness of manners. At Thornfield she gets along well with everyone. Jane is mild to everyone. Adele, a girl without talent is carefully taught by Jane and made safe and happy. In such a wild world, she forgets her pain and her misery. Furthermore, she learns to be tolerant to others’ shortcomings. Hearing that Mrs. Reed is dying, she comes back soon to Gateshead. Although she once has told Mrs. Reed that she never wants to see her again, she forgets and forgives her. Jane’s delicate feeling is best revealed when she meets Rochester, who is hurt. She gives him a hand in a polite way. In spite of his rude rejection, she says, “I can not think of leaving you, sir, at so late an hour, in this solitary lane, till I see you are fit to mount your horses.” (Bronte, 2002:173)When Jane falls in love with Rochester, she is awaken and still keeps her resistance; she makes her every effort to rebel against social prejudice and customs, struggling for independence and true love. She dares to say “no” to anyone, includingher master, Mr. Rochester who is domineering and arrogant. When she talks with Mr. Rochester, she doesn’t avoid saying what she thinks whether Mr. Rochester is happy or not. On the wedding between Jane and Rochester, Jane is told that Rochester has married before. Bertha Mason, a mad woman is his wife who has been living in Thornfield. At the bad news, Jane knows if she lives with him, she will fall into the category of mistress and lose her respect. The dream of freedom, happiness and the independence which she was looking forward to would become fancies. The strength of reason is power over emotion. Jane leaves Thornfield resolutely to meet unknown fate in the future. When she almost starves to death, St. John helps her. Jane’s sp irit of revolt is obviously expressed by her refusal of St. John’s offer of marriage .Jane never changes her will to follow St. John. She thinks, “If I join St. John, I abandon half myself, if I go to India, I go to premature death”, “if I do make the sacrifice he urges, I will make it absolutely: I will throw all on the altar—heart, vitals, the entire victim.”(Bronte, 2002:642) Jane says to St. John, “I scorn your idea of love.”(Bronte, 2002:649) Jane dares to rebel against St. John’s offer because she th inks they are equal. She has the right to rebel against him. This period is the perfection of Jane Eyre’s rebelli ons.Chapter Two Jane Eyre’s Pursuit of Independence andFreedom2.1 Jane begins to realize the importance of independence and freedomIndependence is the outstanding quality throughout the whole process of the novel. Jane Eyre is not pretty and her character is unique. She is maltreated by her cousins and aunt. One day, when Jane takes John’s book to read, he beat s her once more. John says that Jane has no business to take his books; “Y ou have no business to take our books; you are a dependant, mama says, you have no money; your father left you none; you ought to beg, and not to live here with gentlemen’s children like us, and eat the same meals we do, and wear clothes at our mama’s expense”. (Bronte, 2002:7) When she fights against him severely, she is sent to Red Room.In the Red Room, she is frightened, but she keeps a clear mind that she realizes she needs to be saved from her blind fear of authority and be self-reliant. Her mind is in tumult, and all her heart in insurrection, her reason says “unjust! I never compromise to them. I shall be independent.” (Bronte, 2002:14) She hates Gateshead, hates everyone there. She hates Mrs. Reed who is a bad, hard-hearted woman. She treats her with miserable cruelty. Gateshead is a shelter for her, which teaches her a lot of things. Only when she is independent, can she be respected by others.After all, she is a little girl, it is hard for her to be economically independent. Therefore, she decides to be independent, self-sufficient in her mind. The Reeds are really mean to her and she thinks they suck. Of course, the feeling is mutual. Therefore, she is spared from the Reeds and is sent to a low budget orphan school called Lowood Institution.2.2 Jane gains strength from her teacher and her friend to achieve herindependenceAt Lowood Institution, under the hypocritical Evangelicalism of the headmaster, Mr. Brocklehurst, she suffers further privation in the austere environment. Thecondition there is disgusting, but Jane does n’t submit to it. She gain s her strength from her teacher and her fellow students to achieve her independence. Maria Temple, an independent woman, is the headmaster of the Institution. She is a responsible teacher, and kind to the students, even the low students. Consequently, she gains respect and popularity from the people around her. From Maria Temple, Jane learns that independence is a very important thing for everyone.In our modern society, it seems to be more important to be independent. Jane learns the importance of duty and self-control through the friendship with Helen. At the beginning, Jane has much sympathy for Helen. Because Helen does n’t dare to fight against the person who insults her. When Helen is to be flogged and to be asked to stand in the middle of a room that full of people. Jane thinks that Helen should turn against others when she is bullied; she should resist against Miss Scatcherd, and dislike Miss Scatcherd. From these we can see that Jane is not obedient to anyone if someone bullies her, she will do the same thing to others. As known to all, it is not violence that best overcomes hatred, nor vengeance that most certainly heals injury. And Jane learns these from Helen. Jane is deeply moved by Helen’s actions and words. “Yet it would be your duty to bear it, if you could not avoid it: it is weak and silly to say you cannot bear what your fate to be required to bear”. (Bronte, 2002:79) Then through the friendship with Helen, she learns to be self-control in a certain degree. “It is far better to endure patiently a smart which nobody feels but yourself, than to commit a hasty action whose evil consequences will extend to all connected with you; and besides, the Bible bids us return good for evil”. (Bronte, 2002:79) Jane stays at Lowood for 8 years. She attempts to do well in all aspects. She makes rapid progress both in study and work. She becomes stronger than before in her heart. The idea of breaking out the conservative puritan life does not occur to her. She longs for a new form of life. So she gets a job by herself.2.3 Jane develops her independence fully and learns the pleasure of itIn order to lead a life of independence, Jane works as a governess at Thornfield Hall. She is looks down upon by the rich ladies of the fashionable society, but she never despises herself, she never feels herself inferior. She is satisfied with, and even proud of her honest, independent work. She loves Rochester who is in a large possession of fortune and in a high social position, but she never thinks of relying on these things. Once she immediately answers Rochester’s question about what else she needs, by saying, “Your regard: and if I give mine in return, that debt will be quit.”(Bronte, 2002:424) This kind of independence is irrevocable out of her pure soul which hasn’t been contaminated by the earthy care at all and represented the pur e uprightness. When the happiness reaches the highest point where she is about to be the dreamy person’s wife, Jane ke eps a clear mind, protecting her independence and her personality. She refuses all the precious gifts that could have been owned as a fiancee and reminded Rochester again and again of the responsibility she should continue to fulfill as a governess.As Rochester’s bri de, she continues to be Adele’s governess; when Rochester intends to give her a lot of jewelry and beautiful clothes, she refuses. Generally, beautiful clothes and jewelries are the favorite things to women. Jane thinks that real love is not based on money and jewelry. Her love does n’t mix with other strange ideas. In her opinion, self-respect, independence and equal rights are the fundamental elements of one’s love. She does n’t want to be the slave of money, and she d oes n’t want to rely on others. They fall in deep love with each other. Rochester does n’t want Jane to go on working,he wishes Jane belongs to him and considers Jane as his property.Jane refuses his suggestion without any hesitation.In her opinion,if she loses her job, she must depend on Rochester to live,thus independence says goodbye to her. She doesn’t want to be a thing of Rochester. At last, she decides to preserve her independence.With the news coming that Rochester’s wife is still alive, Jane is driven back to her original status. It means that Jane is just a lover to him. By this time, there are two roads in front of her: One is to be the lover of Rochester. The other is away from Rochester to begin a new life. Actually, it’s very sad for Jane to leave the place sheliked, and the man she deeply loved. However, Jane is the unique! She is determined to leave Thornfield without any hesitation. As we know that nothing can succeed in confining her before her resistant spirit .The powerful shout of the born independent spirit from her heart remains her independence. The natural strength of independence overwhelms her, “still indomitable was the reply—I care for myself. The more solitary, the more friendless, and the more unsustained I can be, the more I will respect myself.” (Bronte, 2002:467) With Jane and Rochester’s suffering the readers’ compassion is also aroused besides the feeling of pity. There is no defying that the blood of independence is going through Jane’s whole body from the day she was born. Fleeing from calamity solitarily, she does not hesitate all prices to maintain her own personality, dignity, and rebellions and independence is portrayed more perfect, and richer. Nowadays, as to women, we can’t depend on men completely. We should earn money through our efforts, we must be independent, never be subsidiary to others.In order to get dignity, freedom and independence, she runs away. At the prerequisite of maintaining her own character she does n’t take the jewelry and clothes which Rochester gives her. Jane arrives at the desolate crossroads of whitcross and is reduced to begging for food. Fortunately, the Rivers siblings helped her. At Moor House, Jane learns the pleasure of self-sufficiency. She lives a happy life there. She develops great affection for the ladies, Diana and Mary, and they are really nice to her. Jane becomes spiritually stronger and more confident through the friendship with Diana and Mary. She does n’t want to live there for a long time. She intend s to find a job to support herself, so St. John finds a job for her to teach at the local school. While teaching, she gains more social respect, and her students make progress quickly. Furthermore, the students and their parents like her very much. She is very happy and satisfied with her own conditions. As a teacher, her students’ progress and popularity are the best gifts to her.Chapter Three Jane Eyre’s Attitude Towards Love3.1True love should be based on equality and mutual understandingFrom the strong ego and independent personality, Jane seeks for love which should be based on mutual understanding, equality, respect and attraction. Jane is a governess, who has the profession with very low social position. Nearly no one looks up on it at that time. Being born of second class, Jane is sensitive about her position in society. She hopes that she can live with the same self-esteem as everyone in the upper class. She works very hard to be a good lady to reach the norm which is required by the upper class. Then she is eager to be admitted by the man who she loves, i.e. Rochester. Generally speaking, people are often satisfied with beloved one’s compliment. As for Jane, things are the same. Rochester is one of the members of the upper class. Rochester is a rich gentleman with high social status and reputation. But Rochester falls in love with Jane, so does Jane. Jane doesn’t pay much attention t o the difference between their social positions, because she only admires and believes in marriage based on true love. Humble job and poverty cannot stop her loving an upper class gentleman. On this point, she shows a woman's extra strength to take a risky love with Rochester and keeps her self-esteem. She respects the mutual equality of personality.Jane’s viewpoint shows she has clear self-awake sense of love. As a woman living in the society unequal between men and women, Jane doesn’t follow the outmoded conventions. She believes men and women are equal even if not in property, but in personality. When Rochester tells Jane that he is going to marry Miss Ingram and he insists that Jane must stay at Thornfield. Jane is angry at it. Let us see how Jane retorts to Rochester’s teasing.“I tell you I must go!” “Do you think I can stay to become nothing to you? Do you think I am an automaton?––a machine without feelings? And I can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips, and my drop of living water dashed from my lips? Do you think I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless?In fact you think wrong!––I have as much soul as you, and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty. and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you .I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh; it is my spirit that addressed your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God’s feet, equal,—as we are!”(Bronte, 2002:396) Rochester understands fully and esteems her. Jane still maintains self-control and clear-headed when she becomes Rochester’s fiancée. She wants to protect her honor and independence. When Rochester buys diamond necklace, bracelet, ring, etc., which means to bind her, she refuses those gifts and reminds her, “I shall continue to act as Adele’s governess; by that I shall earn my board and lodging, and thirty pounds a year besides.” (Bronte, 2002:423) Thus she is such a person who regards her dignity sacredly and inviolably. Jane seeks for happiness and love, but she does n’t think love is supreme. She can throw away traditions to follow love, but she will never sacrifice her dignity and independence for the reason of love. Obtaining equality in life is Jane's ambition. It is equality that makes her love Rochester with all of her heart and soul; also it is equality that makes her leave Rochester with her disappointment and distress. Life is hard to Jane.On their wedding day, a secret is exposed that Rochester has a mad wife locked for several years, and then Jane resolutely gives up Rochester and is determined not to be a mistress. Jane's ambition, of course, forbids her to accept the unequal position of being the mistress of someone’s husband. She has her self-respect and must keep her nobility. Being an illegal mistress benefits her nothing but reduces her virtue and demoralizes her personality. Then she would have to depend on Rochester and lose her quality, independence and freedom. So she chooses the distress of leaving Rochester to realize her pursuit.3.2 The marriage pursued by women must be based on true loveAt that time, women were first customarily dependent on their parents then upon husbands. Their parents tried their best to choose good husbands for their daughters.The choices of husbands and fates were determined by men’s social position s and properties, rather than personalities and sincere emotions. Usually, women’s rationa l consideration triumphed over their personal interests. A problem raises in the novel is the position of a woman in society. Jane Eyre, the heroine of the novel, maintains that women should have equal rights with men. When she decides to leave her love, she is very sad. But Jane will feel unpeaceful if she does not leave and stays with Rochester as a lover. And she would not be her cousin’s wife without love. It is very easy to choose one’s own love in today’s England. But it is not so easy to do it in the 18th and 19th century England.Jane thinks that it is a glorious thing to have the hope of living with him and being his wife. Jane loves him with her whole heart. They have a meeting of the mind. But in that social background, people pay too much attention to property, rank and status. If the disparity is great, a pair of lovers would suffer disagreement with their families and their friends. Mrs. Fairfax, one of Rochester’s servants, is very surprised and feels puzzled that her master is madly clinging to Jane. In their opinion, Blanche Ingram, who is a typical representative of the rich class, is so beautifu1, rich and has the same high social position. She is regarded as Thornfield wife of Rochester in the future by most people. She is the ideal wife of Rochester. If Rochester marries Ingram, it is natura1.Because in that society,people’s sense of love is on the basis of money. In their eyes,money is everything,money is marriage. For the sake of money they can marry anyone even though the husband or the wife is an idiot. So the marriage between Rochester and Ingram is fair and reasonable.In their opinion, Jane is an ordinary looking woman without wealth, so she can never match Rochester. But with the development of the plot,Miss Ingram is proven to be a loser.Rochester is deeply attracted by Jane and gives up Ingram. Jane defeats her though Jane has no property and beauty. Jane’s plainness,poverty, position and disposition are contrasted to Ingram’s obviously. Jane is kind,intelligent, sympathetic and thoughtful, while Ingram’s minds is poor and hypocritica1.She has no sympathy at al1. She plans to marry Rochester only because of Rochester’ s property,Ingram tries her best tofascinate Rochester again and again,unfortunately,she falls again and again. Jane is fully aware of it.She witnesses “repeated failure s”.The party is the climax of the novel and the essence of the book. At the party,Jane’s victory is complete. According to her beautiful personality and the strength of her noble spirit,Jane drives those aristocrats away from competitive stages.High position and great wealth shows by the noble class are put aside.Jane gets glorious victory.The marriage pursued by women must be based on true love. She distains the money and hunt marriage, and looks down upon her artificial and hypocritical manners.The way she gets to know Rochester well is talking with him, observing him and getting agreements with him. She falls in love with Rochester not at the first sight but after a fairly long time of acquaintance. Before she completely knows Rochester Jane only takes him as the master and an object for talking. Every time she talks with him, her attitude to Rochester changes. Through communicating with each other by their minds, they gradually come to a harmony in spirit. Jane thinks, “The ease of his manner freed me from painful restraint; the friendly frankness, correct as cordial,with which he heated me, drew me to him. I felt at times as if he were my relation rather than my master: yet he was imperious sometimes still; but 1 did not mind that.”(Bronte, 2002:225) This is Jane's revelation of true feeling to Rochester. Only when Jane understands Rochester, can she appropriately analyse and accept Rochester’s character. Understanding each other and getting harmonious in spirit,the solid base of their true love. Jane loves Rochester’s value as a man, instead of his properties, social and family status. So, whether Rochester is a rich person in the upper-class society, or is afflicted with calamity and becomes totally-blinded disabled man; whether Jane is a poor and plain governess in Thornfield, or she becomes a rich heiress in one night. Nothing can change her steadfast love for Rochester.After leaving Rochester’s home, Thornfield Hall, Jane walks and travels without any aim. She lives in hunger and cold. As she roams about a whit cross, she is nearly dead because she suffers terrible hardships. St. John helps her and saves her life. St John wants to marry Jane and takes her to India with him. Although he is a little。

简爱读后感英文版各位读友大家好,此文档由网络收集而来,欢迎您下载,谢谢篇一:《Jane Eyre》简爱读后感英文版《简·爱》作者简介:Charlotte “Jane Eyre” Brontë(1816-1854)Charlotte Brontëwas born 21 April 1816, third of the six children of Patrick Brontëand Maria Branwell Brontë. The major event of her young life was the death of her mother in 1821, whichcreated a lot of chaos. In 1824, Charlotte and her two older sisters, Maria and Elizabeth, were sent to the newly-opened Cowan Bridge Clergy Daughters’ School.Conditions there were bad even by the standards of the time, and it was not long before both Maria and Elizabethbecame ill enough to be sent home, where they both died of consumption in the spring of1825. Patrick brought Charlotte and her younger sister Emily, who had recently joined them at the school, back home as soon as the other girls became ill, but Charlotte in particular never forgot what the school had been like.The surviving kids all became each others’ best friends. They created the kingdom of Gondal and wrote all kinds of epic stories and poems set in that realm. Charlotte and Branwell were in charge of Angria proper, while Emily and Anne (the youngest) ran the neighboring kingdom of Gondal.Charlotte’s next adventure was going to school in Brussels with Emily in 1842. Charlotte’s time there was brief, less than two years, but it led to her eventual writing of Villette beginning in 1852.Back home, Charlotte lapsed intochronic unemployment and severe hypochondria, actually thinking she was going blind, just like her father was. In 1846 the three sisters published a book of Poems, and though sales were very slow, the reviews were good and spurred on further literary endeavours. Charlotte’s novel of this time, The Professor, was actually rather bad, suffering from a less-than-believeable main character. In August of 1846 Charlotte began work on Jane Eyre. Though it was published in 1847, Charlotte didn’t tell her father about it until the next year, when the novel’s success was plain.内容梗概:When the novel begins, Jane is an isolated, powerless ten-year-old living with an aunt and cousins who dislike her. As the novel progresses, she grows in strength. She distinguishes herself at Lowood School because of her hard workand strong intellectual abilities. As a governess at Thornfield, she learns of the pleasures and pains of love through her relationship with Edward Rochester. After being deceived by him, she goes to Marsh End, where she regains her spiritual focus and discovers her own strength when she rejects St. John River’s marriage proposal. By novel’s end she has become a powerful, independent woman, blissfully married to the man she loves, Rochester.经典语段:You think because I’m poor, I’m plain, I have no feelings? I promise you, if god is gifted me withwealth and beauty, I should make it does as hard for you to leave me just as for me to leave you now, but he didn not. If my spirit can address yours, as we both pass the grave stood before him equal.你以为我穷,不好看,就没有感情吗?告诉你把,如果上帝赐予我财富和美貌,我会让你难以离开我,就像我现在难以离开你。

《简爱》------读书报告一.作者简介夏洛蒂·勃朗特(1816-4-21-1855-3-31)1816年生于英国北部约克郡的豪渥斯的一个乡村牧师家庭。

母亲早逝,八岁的夏洛蒂被送进一所专收神职人员孤女的慈善性机构——柯文桥女子寄宿学校。

在那里,她的两个姐姐玛丽亚和伊丽莎白因染上肺病而先后死去。

于是夏洛蒂和妹妹艾米利回到家乡,15岁时她进了伍勒小姐办的学校读书,几年后又在这个学校当教师。

后来她曾作家庭教师,最终她投身于文学创作的道路。

夏洛蒂·勃朗特有两个姐姐、两个妹妹和一个弟弟。

两个妹妹,即艾米莉·勃朗特和安恩·勃朗特,也是著名作家,因而在英国文学史上常有“勃朗特三姐妹”之称。

夏洛蒂还出版过诗集。

她的其他小说有:《雪莉》(1849)、《维莱特》(1853)和《教师》(1857)。

其中《维莱特》可以看做是她个人的小说体自传,与她的人生经历十分相似。

这位天生体弱的女作家就是十九世纪英国文坛上一颗璀璨的明珠。

二.作品简介《简·爱》创作于英国谢菲尔德,是一部带有自传色彩的长篇小说,它阐释了这样一个主题:人的价值=尊严+爱。

《简·爱》中的简爱人生追求有两个基本旋律:富有激情、幻想、反抗和坚持不懈的精神;对人间自由幸福的渴望和对更高精神境界的追求。

这本小说的主题是通过对孤女坎坷不平的人生经历,成功地塑造了一个不安于现状、不甘受辱、敢于抗争的女性形象,反映一个平凡心灵的坦诚倾诉的呼号和责难,一个小写的人成为一个大写的人的渴望。

它成功地塑造了英国文学史中第一个对爱情、生活、社会以及宗教都采取了独立自主的积极进取态度和敢于斗争、敢于争取自由平等地位的女性形象。

虽然书中的故事是虚构的,但是女主人公以及其他许多人物的生活、环境,甚至许多生活细节,都是取自作者及其周围的人的真实经验,也因此打动了许多人的心灵。

三.章节梗概(1)在盖茨黑德府苦难的童年(1—4章)梗概:简.爱在出生不久便父母双亡,舅舅收养了她,但不久舅舅也亡故了。

本文将对《简爱》的译文进行分析,并对小说进行赏析。

一、《简爱》的译文分析《简爱》的译本众多,其中最为著名的有金未铄等人的翻译。

这些译本在传达小说的情节和意义方面都有所突出,但同时也存在一些差异和问题。

首先,译本在保持原著语言风格的同时,会根据不同的翻译风格和观点进行选择和调整。

例如,有些译本更注重保留原著中的古英语的特点,以增加文化氛围,但在现代读者看来可能有些生涩和难懂。

而另一些译本则更注重流畅和易读性,对原著进行了一定的简化和改动。

其次,英语中的一些表达方式、习语和文化背景在不同的译本中有不同的处理方式。

不同的翻译者会根据自己的理解和经验,选择相应的词汇和表达方式,使译文更加贴近当地读者的习惯和理解。

但这也会导致不同译本的词汇和语句有所不同,读者在选择译本时需要考虑自己的阅读习惯和理解能力。

最后,译本在解析小说中的文化、历史背景和内涵时,也会存在一定的主观性。

《简爱》人生励志句子摘抄及赏析

《简爱》人生励志句子摘抄及赏析1、生命太短暂了,不应该用来记恨。

人生在世,谁都会有错误,但我们很快会死去。

我们的罪过将会随我们的身体一起消失,只留下精神的火花。

这就是我从来不想报复,从来不认为生活不公平的原因。

我平静的生活,等待末日的降临。

赏析:海轮·彭斯就是这样一个人,教师要体罚她,她还会顺从的去帮教师去拿执行工具。

也许很多人都会认为她过于懦弱。

但是谁也想不到她那小小的脑袋瓜里竟然装有那么伟大博爱的一套思想。

她认为,如果你命里注定要忍受屈辱,那么你的职责就是忍受。

她能依旧发自内心的尊敬和热爱欺负她的斯卡查德小姐,她说她能清楚的分辨罪犯和罪犯所犯的罪孽,罪犯是值得同情,可以原谅的,她所痛恨的只是他所犯的罪孽。

2、女人一般被认为是极其安静的,可是女人也和男人有一样的感觉;她们像她们的兄弟一样,需要运用她们的才能,需要有一个努力的场地;她们受到过于严峻的束缚、过于绝对的停滞,会感到痛苦正如男人感到的一样;而她们的享有较多特权的同类却说她们应该局限于做做布,织袜子、弹弹钢琴、绣绣口袋,那他们也未免太心地狭窄了。

赏析:在她看来,面包是生活的需要,而尊严更是人格的需要,她的人生哲学并不难了解为:在平等的基础上谈论面包和其它。

3、你以为,我因为穷,低微,矮小,不美,我就没有灵魂没有心了吗?你想错了——我的心灵跟你一样丰富,我的心胸与你一样充实。

虽然我一贫如洗,长相平庸,但我们的精神是平等的,就如同我们经过坟墓,最后将同样站在上帝面前---因为我们是平等的。

赏析:简·爱是个不甘忍受社会压迫、勇于追求个人幸福的`女性。

无论是她的贫困低下的社会地位,或是她那漂泊无依的生活遭遇,都是当时英国下层人民生活的真实写照。

作者能够把一个来自社会下层的觉醒中的新女性*摆到小说的主人公地位,并对主人公为反抗压迫和社会偏见、力争取独立的人格和尊严、为追求幸福生活所作的顽强斗争加以热情歌颂,这在当时的文学作品中是难能可贵的。

这是一部具有浓厚浪漫主义色彩的现实主义小说,小说主要描写了简·爱与罗切斯特的爱情。主人公简·爱是一个心地纯洁、善于思考的女性,她生活在社会底层,受尽磨难。但她有倔强的性格和勇于追求平等幸福的精神。小说以浓郁抒情的笔法和深刻细腻的心理描写,引人入胜地展示了男女主人公曲折起伏的爱情经历,歌颂了摆脱一切旧习俗和偏见。扎根于相互理解。相互尊重的基础之上的深挚爱情,具有强烈的震撼心灵的艺术力量。其最为成功之处在于塑造了一个敢于反抗,敢于争取自由和平等地位的妇女形象。 《简·爱》是部脍炙人口的作品、毋庸置疑的名著。英国十九世纪著名的女作家夏洛蒂·勃朗特的代表作,当时人们普遍认为《简爱》是夏洛蒂·勃朗特“诗意的生平”的写照,是一部具有自传色彩的作品。一个有尊严和寻求平等的简·爱,这个看似柔弱而内心极具刚强韧性的女子也因为这部作品而成为无数女性心中的典范。 简·爱是个孤女,出生于一个穷牧师家庭。父母由于染上伤寒,在一个月之中相继去世。幼小的简寄养在舅父母家里。舅父里德先生去世后,简过了10年受尽歧视和虐待的生活。一次,由于反抗表哥的殴打,简被关进了红房子。肉体上的痛苦和心灵上的屈辱和恐惧,使她大病了一场。 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。以后,简被送进了罗沃德孤儿院。 孤儿院教规严厉,生活艰苦,院长是个冷酷的伪君子。简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,她最好的朋友海伦在一次大的斑疹伤寒中去世了。这次斑疹伤寒也使孤儿院有了大的改善。简在新的环境下接受了六年的教育,并在这所学校任教两年。由于谭波尔小姐的离开,简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,偌大的宅第只有一个不到10岁的女孩阿黛拉·瓦朗,罗切斯特是她的保护人,她就是简的学生。 一天黄昏,简外出散步,邂逅刚从国外归来的主人,这是他们第一次见面。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,简在睡梦中被这种笑声惊醒,发现罗切斯特的房间着了火,简叫醒他并帮助他扑灭了火。 罗切斯特回来后经常举行家宴。在一次家宴上向一位名叫英格拉姆的漂亮小姐大献殷勤,简被召进客厅,却受到布兰奇母女的冷遇,她忍受屈辱,离开客厅。此时,她已经爱上了罗切斯特。其实罗切斯特也已爱上简,他只是想试探简对自己的爱情。当他向简求婚时,简答应了他。 婚礼前夜,简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,简离开了罗切斯特。在寻找新的生活出路的途中,简风餐露宿,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。他请求简嫁给他并和他同去印度。简拒绝了他,决定回到罗切斯特身边。 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。简找到他并和他结了婚,得到了自己理想的幸福生活。
赏析
小说设计了一个很光明的结尾--虽然罗切斯特的庄园毁了,罗切斯特自己也成了一个残疾人,但我们看到,正是这样一个条件,使简·爱不再在尊严与爱之间矛盾,而同时获得满足--她在和罗切斯特结婚的时候是有尊严的,当然也是有爱情的。 这本小说告诉我们,人的最美好的生活是人的尊严加爱,小说的结局给女主人公安排的就是这样一种生活。虽然我们觉得这样的结局过于完美,甚至这种圆满本身标志着肤浅,但是我依然尊重作者对这种美好生活的理想--就是尊严加爱,毕竟在当今社会,要将人的价值=尊严+爱这道公式付之实现常常离不开金钱的帮助。人们都疯狂到似乎为了金钱和地位而埋没爱情。在穷与富之间选择富,在爱与不爱之间选择不爱。很少有人会像简这样为爱情为人格抛弃所有,而且义无反顾。《简·爱》所展现给我们的正是一种化繁为简,是一种返璞归真,是一种追求全心付出的感觉,是一种不计得失的简化的感情,它犹如一杯冰水,净化每一个读者的心灵,被认为是人生追求的二重奏。
《简·爱》简介及赏析(包括英文赏析)
《简·爱》创作于英国谢菲尔德,是一部带有自传色彩的长篇小说,它阐释了这样一个主题:人的价值=尊严+爱。《简·爱》中的简爱人生追求有两个基本旋律:富有激情、幻想、反抗和坚持不懈的精神;对人间自由幸福的渴望和对更高精神境界的追求。这本小说的主题是通过对孤女坎坷不平的人生经历,成功地塑造了一个不安于现状、不甘受辱、敢于抗争的女性形象,反映一个平凡心灵的坦诚倾诉的呼号和责难,一个小写的人成为一个大写的人的渴望。 《简·爱》是一部反响巨大的书。出版商在1847年10月就出版了这部作品。萨克雷称赞它是“一位伟大天才的杰作”。次年印行第三版时,《评论季刊》上提到“《简·爱》与《名利场》受到同样广泛的欢迎。乔治·艾略特则深深地被《简·爱》陶醉了”。
简·爱——女主人公,一个性格坚强,朴实,刚柔并济,独立自主,积极进取的女性。她蔑视权贵的骄横,嘲笑他们的愚笨,显示出自立自强的人格和美好的理想。她有顽强的生命力,从不向命运低头。 最后有了自己所向往的美好生活。 爱德华.费尔法克斯·罗切斯特——特恩费德庄园主,拥有财富和强健的体魄,年轻时他过着放浪的生活,后来决心认真生活,喜欢简爱并向她求婚。晚年时由于第一任妻子的疯狂放火而失去一条胳膊和一只眼睛。最后成为简爱的丈夫。 贝茜——盖茨赫德庄园的仆人,相较之下她对简爱很好,后来嫁给看门人利文,曾来庄园看望过简爱。 里德太太——简·爱的舅妈,曾违心答应丈夫收养简爱,对简·爱并不公平。儿子自杀使她中风,临死前良心发现,告诉简·爱她还有亲属在世真相。(已死) 里德先生——简·爱的舅舅,对简·爱比较好,但过早离世。 伊丽莎·里德——里德太太的女儿,习惯把自己的一天安排得井井有条,日常生活规律如钟表般精准,因弟弟的行为和家庭的败落而痛苦,决心隐居,后当了修女,后来成为修道院院长,将所有财产都捐献了。 乔治安娜·里德——里德太太的女儿,貌美如花,向往上流社会的社交圈,常常沉溺在她曾在伦敦度过的那个出尽风头的冬季的回忆里,后来嫁给了一个年老力衰的富豪。 约翰·里德——里德太太的儿子,暴躁、惹是生非,小时候经常欺负简·爱,长大后将家中财产挥霍一空后自杀。(已死) 海伦·伯恩斯--简·爱在洛伍德慈善学校的好友,聪明好学。因为肺结核而死。(已死) 布洛克尔赫斯特——洛伍德慈善学校总管,虚伪且刻薄。 谭波尔小姐——洛伍德学校教师,是简·爱的良师益友。后来嫁给了一个牧师。 圣约翰.李维斯——简爱的堂兄,英俊,有极高的信仰。向简爱求婚,但理由只是简·爱适合做一位传教士的妻子,成为他的助手,后来一个人去印度传教了。 戴安娜·李维斯和玛丽.李维斯--简爱的堂姐,聪明善良且好学,戴安娜很活泼。(圣约翰的胞妹) 爱丽丝·费尔法克斯--罗切斯特的女管家。 阿黛拉--罗切斯特旧情人(一个法国舞女)的女儿,沉溺于奢华的生活风,喜欢漂亮的衣服和饰物。在学校英国式教育下改变。(罗切斯特是她的监护人,简·爱的学生) 英格拉姆·布兰奇小姐——长得美丽动人的贵族小姐,罗切斯特先生的追求者,但不是为了爱,而是钱。 罗莎蒙德·奥利弗小姐——活泼美丽善良的贵族小姐,圣约翰教区内唯一一位富人奥利弗先生的女儿,她帮助圣约翰创办学校救济穷人,他们相爱却都不表达,圣约翰以她不适合成为传教士的妻子为由拒绝简爱撮合他们的好意。她最后嫁给了格兰比爵士。
然而,我们不禁要问,仅这一步就能独立吗?我认为,不会的。毕竟女性的独立是一个长期的过程,不是一蹴而就的。它需要一种彻底的勇气,就像简爱当年毅然离开罗切斯特一样,需要“风潇潇兮易水寒,壮土一去兮不复返”的豪迈和胆量。我想,这应该才是最关键的一步,也应该是走向独立的决定性的一步。而夏洛蒂笔下的简爱却把她倔强的性格,独立的个性留给我们一个感动。所以她是成功的,幸福的女性。
Hale Waihona Puke 《简爱》是英国文学史上的一部经典传世之作,它成功地塑造了英国文学史中第一个对爱情、生活、社会以及宗教都采取了独立自主的积极进取态度和敢于斗争、敢于争取自由平等地位的女性形象。
大凡喜爱外国文学作品的女性,都喜欢读夏洛蒂的《简爱》。如果我们认为夏洛蒂仅仅只为写这段缠绵的爱情而写《简爱》。我想,错了。作者也是一位女性,生活在波动变化着的英国19世纪中叶,那时思想有着一个崭新的开始。而在《简爱》里渗透最多的也就是这种思想——女性的独立意识。让我们试想一下,如果简爱的独立,早已被扼杀在寄人篱下的童年生活里;如果她没有那份独立,她早已和有妻女的罗切斯特生活在一起,开始有金钱,有地位的新生活;如果她没有那份纯洁,我们现在手中的《简爱》也不再是令人感动的流泪的经典。所以,我开始去想,为什么《简爱》让我们感动,爱不释手——就是她独立的性格,令人心动的人格魅力。
这是一部以爱情为主题的小说。主人公简·爱是一个心地纯洁、善于思考的女性,她生活在社会底层,受尽磨难。她的生活遭遇令人同情,但她那倔强的性格和勇于追求平等幸福的精神更为人们所赞赏。 在里德太太家,10岁的简面对舅母、表兄妹的歧视和虐待,己经表现出强烈的反抗精神。当她的表兄殴打她时,她勇于回击;当舅母嚷着叫自己的孩子远离她时,她高喊“他们不配和我在一起”;当她被囚禁在空房中时,想到自己所受到的虐待,从内心发出了“不公正”的呐喊。在孤儿院,简的反抗性格更为鲜明,这和她的朋友海伦·朋斯忍耐顺从的性格形成了明显的对比。海伦·彭斯虽遭迫害却信奉“爱你的仇人”,在宗教的麻痹下没有仇恨,只有逆来顺受。而简对冷酷的校长和摧残她们的教师深恶痛绝。她对海伦说:“假如她用那根条子打我,我要从她手里把它夺过来,并且当面折断它。”充分表露了她不甘屈辱和不向命运妥协的倔强性格。 小说主要描写了简·爱与罗切斯特的爱情。简·爱的爱情观更加深化了她的个性。她认为爱情应该建立在精神平等的基础上,而不应取决于社会地位、财富和外貌,只有男女双方彼此真正相爱,才能得到真正的幸福。在追求个人幸福时,简·爱表现出异乎寻常的纯真、朴实的思想感情和一往无前的勇气。她并没有因为自己的仆人地位而放弃对幸福的追求,她的爱情是纯洁高尚的,她对罗切斯特的财富不屑一顾,她之所以钟情于他,就是因为他能平等待人,把她视作朋友,与她坦诚相见。对罗切斯特说来,简·爱犹如一股清新的风,使他精神为之一振。罗切斯特过去看惯了上层社会的冷酷虚伪,简·爱的纯朴、善良和独立的个性重新唤起他对生活的追求和向往。因而他能真诚地在简面前表达他善良的愿望和改过的决心。 简·爱同情罗切斯特的不幸命运,认为他的错误是客观环境造成的。尽管他其貌不扬,后来又破产成了残废,但她看到的是他内心的美和令人同情的不幸命运,所以最终与他结婚。小说通过罗切斯特两次截然不同的爱情经历,批判了以金钱为基础的婚姻和爱情观,并始终把简·爱和罗切斯特之间的爱情描写为思想、才能、品质与精神上的完全默契。 简·爱是个不甘忍受社会压迫、勇于追求个人幸福的女性。无论是她的贫困低下的社会地位,或是她那漂泊无依的生活遭遇,都是当时英国下层人民生活的真实写照。作者能够把一个来自社会下层的觉醒中的新女性摆到小说的主人公地位,并对主人公为反抗压迫和社会偏见、力争取独立的人格和尊严、为追求幸福生活所作的顽强斗争加以热情歌颂,这在当时的文学作品中是难能可贵的。 《简·爱》是一部具有浓厚浪漫主义色彩的现实主义小说。整部作品以自叙形式写成。大量运用心理描写是小说的一大特色。全书构思精巧,情节波澜起伏,给读者制造出一种阴森恐怖的气氛,而又不脱离一个中产阶级家庭的背景。作者还以行情的笔法描写了主人公之间的真挚爱情和自然风景,感情色彩丰富而强烈。这部优美、动人并带有神秘色彩的小说,至今仍保持着它独特的艺术魅力。
