简爱英文简介
The wedding ceremony is interrupted by a lawyer, who declares that Mr. Rochester is already married. His mad wife Bertha Mason, a Creole from Jamaica whom his family forced him to marry, resides in the attic of Thornfield Hall, and her presence explains all sorts of mysterious events that have taken place during Jane's stay in Thornfield. Mr. Rochester offers to take her abroad to live with him, but Jane is not willing to sacrifice her morals or self-respect for earthly pleasures, let alone accept the status of mistress, even though Rochester insists Jane will break his heart if she refuses him. Torn between her love for Rochester and her own integrity and religion, Jane flees Thornfield in the middle of the night, with very little money and nowhere to go.

夏洛蒂˙勃朗特《简爱》第2章英文版
《简爱》英文版Jane EyreChapter TwoI resisted all the way: a new thing for me, and a circumstance which greatly strengthened the bad opinion Bessie and Miss Abbot were disposed to entertain of me. The fact is, I was a trifl e besid e myself; or rather out of myself, as the French woul d say: I was conscious that a moment's mutiny had already rend ered me liabl e to strange penalties, and like any other rebel slave, I felt resolved, in my d esperation, to go all l engths.‘Hold her arms, Miss Abbot; she's like a mad c at.’‘For shame!for shame!’ cried the lady's maid. ‘What shocking conduct, Miss Eyre, to strike a young gentleman, your benefactress's son! Your young master.’‘Master! How is he my master? Am I a servant?’‘No; you are l ess than a servant, for you d o nothing for your keep. There, sit d own, and think over your wickedness.’They had got me by this time into the apartment indicated by Mrs. Reed, and had thrust me upon a stool: my impulse was to rise from it like a spring; their two pairs of hands arrested me instantly.‘If you d on't sit still,you must be tied d own,’ said Bessie. ‘Miss Abbot, l end me your garters; she would break mine directly.’Miss Abbot turned to divest a stout l eg of the necessary ligature. This preparation for bonds, and the additional ignominy it inferred, took a little of the excitement out of me.‘Don't take them off,’ I cried; ‘I will not stir.’In guarantee whereof, I attached myself to my seat by my hands.‘Mind you d on't,’ said Bessie; and when she had ascertained that I was really subsiding, she l oosened her hol d of me; then she and Miss Abbot stood with fold ed arms, l ooking darkly and d oubtfully on my face, as incredul ous of my sanity.‘She never did so before,’ at last said Bessie, turning to the Abigail.‘But it was always in her,’was the reply. ‘I've tol d Missis often my opinion about the child, and Missis agreed with me. She's an und erhand little thing: I never saw a girl of her age with so much cover.’Bessie answered not; but ere long, ad dressing me, she said, -‘You ought t o be aware, Miss, that you are und er obligations to Mrs. Reed: shekeeps you; if she were to turn you off, you would have to go to the poorhouse.’I had nothing to say to these words: they were not new to me: my very first recoll ections of existence included hints of the same kind. This reproach of my d epend ence had become a vague singsong in my ear; very painful and crushing, but only half intelligibl e. Miss Abbot joined in:‘A nd you ought not to think yourself on an equality with the Misses Reed and Master Reed, because Missis kindly allows you to be brought up with them. They will have a great d eal of money, and you will have none: it is your place to be humbl e, and to try to make yourself agreeabl e to them.’‘What we tell you is for your good,’add ed Bessie, in no harsh voice: ‘you shoul d try to be useful and pl easant, then, perhaps, you would have a home here; but if you become passionate and rud e, Missis will send you away, I am sure.’‘Besid es,’ said Miss Abbot, ‘God will punish her: He might strike her d ead in the midst of her tantrums, and then where woul d she go? Come, Bessie, we will l eave her: I woul dn't have her heart for anything. Say your prayers, Miss Eyre, when you are by yourself; for if you d on't repent, something bad might be permitted to come d own the chimney, and fetch you away.’They went, shutting the d oor, and l ocking it behind them.The red-room was a spare chamber, very seld om sl ept in, I might say never, ind eed; unl ess when a chance influx of visitors at Gateshead Hall rend ered it necessary to turn to account all the accommodation it contained: yet it was one of the largest and stateliest chambers in the mansion. A bed supported on massive pillars of mahogany, hung with curtains of d eep red damask, stood out like a tabernacle in the centre; the two large wind ows, with their blinds always drawn d own, were half shrouded in festoons and falls of similar drapery; the carpet was red; the tabl e at the foot of the bed was covered with a crimson cl oth; the walls were a soft fawn col our, with a blush of pink in it; the wardrobe, the toilet tabl e, the chairs were of darkly polished ol d mahogany. Out of these d eep surrounding shad es rose high, and glared white, the piled-up mattresses and pill ows of the bed, spread with a snowy Marseilles counterpane. Scarcely l ess prominent was an ampl e cushioned easy chair near the head of the bed, also white, with a footstool before it; and l ooking, as I thought, like a pale throne.This room was chill, because it seld om had a fire; it was silent, because remote from the nursery and kitchens; sol emn, because it was known to be soseldom entered. The housemaid alone came here on Saturdays, to wipe from the mirrors and the furniture a week's quiet dust: and Mrs. Reed herself, at far intervals, visited it to review the contents of a certain secret drawer in the wardrobe, where were stored divers parchments, her jewel-casket, and a miniature of her d eceased husband; and in those last words lies the secret of the red-room: the spell which kept it so lonely in spite of its grand eur.Mr. Reed had been d ead nine years: it was in this chamber he breathed his last; here he lay in state; hence his coffin was borne by the und ertaker's men; and, since that day, a sense of dreary consecration had guard ed it from frequent intrusion.My seat, to which Bessie and the bitter Miss Abbot had l eft me riveted, was a l ow ottoman near the marbl e chimney piece; the bed rose before me; to my right hand there was the high, dark wardrobe, with subdued, broken refl ections varying the gl oss of its panels; to my l eft were the muffl ed wind ows; a great looking glass between them repeated the vacant majesty of the bed and room. I was not quite sure whether they had locked the d oor; and, when I dared move, I got up and went to see. Alas! yes: no jail was ever more secure. Returning, I had to cross before the l ooking glass; my fascinated glance involuntarily expl ored the d epth it reveal ed. All l ooked cold er and darker in that visionary holl ow than in reality: and the strange little figure there gazing at me, with a white face and arms specking the gl oom, and glittering eyes of fear moving where all else was still, had the effect of a real spirit: I thought it like one of the tiny phantoms, half fairy, half imp, Bessie's evening stories represented as coming out of l one, ferny d ells in moors, and appearing before the eyes of belated travell ers. I returned to my stool.Superstition was with me at that moment; but it was not yet her hour for compl ete victory: my blood was still warm; the mood of the revolted slave was still bracing me with its bitter vigour; I had to stem a rapid rush of retrospective thought before I quailed to the dismal present.All John Reed's violent tyrannies, all his sisters' proud indifference, all his mother's aversion, all the serva nts′ partiality, turned up in my disturbed mind like a dark d eposit in a turbid well. Why was I always suffering, always browbeaten, always accused, for ever cond emned? Why coul d I never pl ease? Why was it usel ess to try to win any one's favour? Eliza, who, was headstrong and selfish, was respected. Georgiana, who had a spoiled temper, a very acrid spite, a captious andinsol ent carriage, was universally indulged. Her beauty, her pink cheeks and gold en curls, seemed to give d elight to all who l ooked at her, and to purchase ind emnity for every fault. John, no one thwarted, much l ess punished; though he twisted the necks of the pigeons, killed the little pea-chicks, set the d ogs at the sheep, stripped the hothouse vines of their fruit, and broke the buds off the choicest plants in the conservatory: he call ed his mother 'old girl', too; sometimes reviled her for her dark skin, similar to his own; bluntly disregard ed her wishes; not unfrequently tore and spoil ed her silk attire; and he was still 'her own darling'.I dared commit no fault: I strove to fulfil every duty; and I was termed naughty and tiresome, sull en and sneaking, from morning to noon, and from noon to night.My head still ached and bl ed with the bl ow and fall I had received: no one had reproved John for wantonly striking me; and because I had turned against him to avert farther irrational viol ence, I was load ed with general opprobrium.‘Unjust!- unjust!’said my reason, forced by the agonizing stimulus into precocious though transitory power; and Resolve, equally wrought up, instigated some strange expedient to achieve escape from insupportabl e oppression - as running away, or, if that could not be effected, never eating or drinking more, and l etting myself die.What a consternation of soul was mine that dreary afternoon! How all my brain was in tumult, and all my heart in insurrection! Yet in what darkness, what d ense ignorance, was the mental battle fought! I coul d not answer the ceasel ess inward question - why I thus suffered; now, at the distance of - I will not say how many years, I see it cl early.I was a discord in Gateshead Hall; I was like nobody there; I had nothing in harmony with Mrs. Reed or her children, or her chosen vassalage. If they did not l ove me, in fact, as little did I l ove them. They were not bound to regard with affection a thing that coul d not sympathize with one amongst them; a heterogeneous thing, opposed to them in temperament, in capacity, in propensities; a usel ess thing, incapabl e of serving their interest, or ad ding to their pl easure; a noxious thing, cherishing the germs of indignation at their treatment, of contempt of their judgment. I know that had I been a sanguine, brilliant, careless, exacting, handsome, romping child - though equally d epend ent and friendl ess - Mrs. Reed woul d have endured my presence more complacently; her children would have entertained for me more of the cordiality of fellow-feeling; theservants woul d have been less prone to make me the scapegoat of the nursery.Daylight began to forsake the red-room; it was past four o'clock, and the becloud ed afternoon was tending to drear twilight. I heard the rain still beating continuously on the staircase wind ow, and the wind howling in the grove behind the hall; I grew by d egrees col d as a stone, and then my courage sank. My habitual mood of humiliation, self-d oubt, forl orn d epression, fell damp on the embers of my d ecaying ire. All said I was wicked, and perhaps I might be so: what thought had I been but just conceiving of starving myself to d eath? That certainly was a crime: and was I fit to die? Or was the vault und er the chancel of Gateshead Church an inviting bourne? In such vault I had been tol d did Mr. Reed lie buried; and l ed by this thought to recall his id ea, I dwelt on it with gathering dread. I coul d not remember him; but I knew that he was my own uncl e - my mother's brother - that he had taken me when a parentless infant to his house; and that in his last moments he had required a promise of Mrs. Reed that she woul d rear and maintain me as one of her own children. Mrs. Reed probably consid ered she had kept this promise; and so she had, I dare say, as well as her nature woul d permit her; but how coul d she really like an interl oper not of her race, and unconnected with her, after her husband's d eath, by any tie? It must have been most irksome to find herself bound by a hard-wrung pl edge to stand in the stead of a parent to a strange child she could not l ove, and to see an uncongenial alien permanently intrud ed on her own family group.A singular notion dawned upon me. I d oubted not - never doubted - that if Mr. Reed had been alive he woul d have treated me kindly; and now, as I sat l ooking at the white bed and overshad owed walls - occasionally also turning a fascinated eye towards the dimly gl eaming mirror - I began to recall what I had heard of d ead men, troubl ed in their graves by the violation of their last wishes, revisiting the earth to punish the perjured and avenge the oppressed; and I thought Mr. Reed's spirit, harassed by the wrongs of his sister's chil d, might quit its abod e - whether in the church vault or in the unknown worl d of the d eparted - and rise before me in this chamber. I wiped my tears and hushed my sobs; fearful l est any sign of violent grief might waken a preternatural voice to comfort me, or elicit from the gl oom some hal oed face, bending over me with strange pity. This id ea, consolatory in theory, I felt would be terribl e if realised: with all my might I end eavoured to stifl e it - I end eavoured to be firm. Shaking my hair from my eyes, I lifted my headand tried to l ook boldly round the dark room: at this moment a light gleamed on the wall. Was it, I asked myself, a ray from the moon penetrating some aperture in the blind? No; moonlight was still, and this stirred; whil e I gazed, it glid ed up to the ceiling and quivered over my head. I can now conjecture readily that this streak of light was, in all likelihood, a gl eam from a lantern carried by some one across the lawn: but then, prepared as my mind was for horror, shaken as my nerves were by agitation, I thought the swift-darting beam was a herald of some coming vision from another world. My heart beat thick, my head grew hot; a sound fill ed my ears, which I d eemed the rushing of wings; something seemed near me; I was oppressed, suffocated: endurance broke d own - I rushed to the d oor and shook the l ock in d esperate effort. Steps came running along the outer passage; the key turned, Bessie and Abbot entered.‘Miss Eyre,are you ill?’ said Bessie.‘What a dreadful noise! It went quite through me!’ exclaimed Abbot.‘Take me out!Let me go into the nursery!’ was my cry.‘What for? Are you hurt? Have you seen something?’ again d emand ed Bessie.‘Oh! I saw a light, and I thought a ghost would come.’ I had now got hol d of Bessie's hand, and she did not snatch it from me.‘She has screamed out on purpose,’d eclared Abbot, in some disgust. ‘And what a scream! If she had been in great pain one woul d have excused it, but she only wanted to bring us all here: I know her naughty tricks.’‘What is all this?’ d emand ed another voice peremptorily; and Mrs. Reed came along the corrid or, her cap flying wid e, her gown rustling stormily. ‘Abbot and Bessie, I believe I gave ord ers that Jane Eyre shoul d be l eft in the red-room till I came to her myself.’‘Mis s Jane screamed so l oud, ma'am,’ pl ead ed Bessie.‘Let her go,’was the only answer. ‘Loose Bessie's hand,child: you cannot succeed in getting out by these means, be assured. I abhor artifice, particularly in children; it is my duty to show you that tricks will not answer: you will now stay here an hour l onger, and it is only on condition of perfect submission and stillness that I shall liberate you then.’‘Oh aunt, have pity! Forgive me! I cannot endure it - l et me be punished some other way! I shall be killed if -’‘Sil ence!This violence is all most repulsive;’ and so, no d oubt, she felt it. I wasa precocious actress in her eyes; she sincerely l ooked on me as a compound of virul ent passions, mean spirit, and dangerous duplicity.Bessie and Abbot having retreated, Mrs. Reed, impatient of my now frantic anguish and wild sobs, abruptly thrust me back and l ocked me in, without farther parl ey. I heard her sweeping away; and soon after she was gone, I suppose I had a species of fit: unconsciousness closed the scene.。

简爱英文章节概括及读后感
<Jane Eyre>Chapter1Summary:Jane Eyre was always ill-treated at Gateshead Hall where her aunt, Mrs. Reed and her cousins-Eliza, John and Georgiana lived. Once, she was reading on the window-seat behind a curtain. John came and drove her away. To her anger, she defended herself, but her aunt came and commanded to lock her in the red-room.Feelings: I feel really bad for Jane as a child at her age. Imagine if I were her at that time, I may give myself up and die early. Even if facing such bad situation, she still loved reading. I admire her very much.Chapter2Summary: Jane was dragged away by two servants, Bessie and Miss Abbot, and locked in the red-room. It was the place where her Uncle Reed died. Thus, the whole atmosphere reminded her of ghosts. She couldn’t stand it anymore and passed out.Feelings: I can’t help feeling that Jane was suffering some kind of mental disease because her aunt and cousins’ attitude towards her. Poor little child! I hope some time in the future it can be healed.Chapter3Summary:The doctor Mr. Lloyd came to see if Jane was OK. He asked her whether she would like to go to school or not and that was all. Meanwhile, Miss Abbot told Bessie about Jane. Her mother was Mr. Reed’s sister. She married a nearly penniless clergyman, and her father was furious and had nothing more to do with her. They went away to work among poor people, caught typhoid, and died when Miss Jane was a baby, so she was sent to Gateshead Hall. Bessie felt sorry after hearing these.Feelings: Jane was sure unfortunate, but to some extent, she was really lucky. She had someone like Bessie who cared about her. I think Jane will start a new life at school.Chapter4Summary: Jane was introduced to a school’s headmaster Mr. Brocklehurst. Her aunt talked bad about her to that tall, grim man, which means her school life didn’t have a good beginning.Feelings:I just feel sick for Mrs. Reed’s behavior. One cannot judge others no matter what, let alone she was Jane’s aunt. What she had done could probably destroy Jane’s whole life!Chapter5Summary:Jane arrived at a school at Lowood. The living condition there was really poor. Girls there only had a little food to eat and some of it couldn’t be called as “food”. But there was a teacher called Miss Miller who cared about the girls, ordering extra bread and cheese for them.Feelings: I wonder why on earth there was a school like that in the past. What kind of parents would send their children to hell on earth? I am worried about Jane right now.Chapter6Summary:Helen was a friend of Jane when she was at school. There was a teacher called Miss Scatcherd who was always directed against Helen. She scolded Helen whenever she had a chance. But Helen was pretty positive towards these. She believed that since life was short, we should be happy.Feelings: Helen had a strong character as a kid. I think that must due to her early experience as an orphan. She could face anything peacefully. Many adults can’t do that in my opinion.Chapter7Summary: Mr. Brocklehurst announced to all the girls in the school that Jane was a liar and he warned them against her. But Helen trusted her and gave her courage.Feelings: It’s rude to say bad things about others no matter in front of them or behind their backs. Mr. Brocklehurst’s behavior can be really hurtful. Chapter8Summary:Miss Temple was another person who chose to believe Jane. She asked Mr. Lloyd whether Jane’s side of story was true. As Mr. Lloyd convinced Jane’s word, Miss Temple announced to the school that Jane was innocent of Mr. Brocklehurst’s charges against her.Feelings: Miss Temple is that kind of person who gives you a light of hope when you are truly down. It’s a great luck to have such a person be your side and support you. I think Miss Temple will influence Jane throughout her lifetime. Chapter9Summary: Typhoid fever struck Lowood when spring came. Thus, many of the students were kept apart. Helen was also ill, not typhoid but with consumption. Knowing Helen might die soon, Jane couldn’t help tiptoeing to the room Helenstayed in to be with her as her last company. They spent a night together and Helen died in Jane’s arm during her dream.Feelings:Helen’s death was a great loss for Jane in my opinion. But anyhow, Helen’s spirit leaves a deep impression on me, and I believe, on everyone who has ever read this book.Chapter10Summary: Soon after the typhoid, there was an inquiry, which brought to light the truth about Lowood with its wretched clothing, poor food, and bad conditions. Lowood was put into the care of kind and sensible trustees, and both diet and clothing improved. After six years of study there, Jane became a teacher. After her tutor both in study and in life, Miss Temple, get married and left, Jane decided to leave as well. On her last night at Lowood, Bessie visited her with her son Bobby. She brought the news about Gateshead to Jane.Feelings: It’s time for Jane to find a new place to go. She had been at Lowood for so many years and she should search for some new opportunity and start a new life at Thornfield Hall.Chapter11Summary: On arriving at Thornfield Hall, Jane met the house keeper Mrs. Fairfax and her student Adele whose guardian was Mr. Edward Fairfax Rochester, who was also the owner of the house. She also met a solidly built servant called Grace Poole.Feelings: I guess Jane can live an at least comfortable life here at Thornfield Hall since nobody is after her. Jane’s bright new life starts right now.Chapter12Summary:Jane met Mr. Rochester on her way to post a letter. Mr. Rochester sprained his ankle in the lane.Feelings: It’s a pretty strange way to meet your employer the first time like that.I bet there would be interesting stories between them.Chapter13Summary: Adele was having a lot of trouble concentrating when she knows Mr. Rochester was downstairs—she kept trying to sneak downstairs to see him or to guess what presented he might have brought her. Mr. Rochester and Jane talked about Jane’s early experiences and Mr. Rochester called Jane as elf. Thus, Jane considered Mr. Rochester changeful and abrupt.Feelings: I kind of feel the same as Jane did. How could an almost stranger say such rude thing during our first chat? If I were Jane, I might be really angry.Chapter14Summary: One evening, Rochester sent for Jane and Adele after dinner. Suddenly, because she was staring at him, Rochester asked Jane if she thought he’s handsome. Without thinking, she gave an honest answer: no. Rochester told her that he’s feeling chatty tonight, and order ed Jane to chat with him about something. While Jane and Rochester had been talking, Adele had run out to try on one of the dresses that were among her new presents from Rochester. When she comes back and frolics around in the dress, she looks just like her mother. Feelings: I don’t know why but I just feel that the whole conversation between them is super intense and kind of awkward to me...Chapter15Summary: One day when Mr. Rochester and Jane were wandering in the garden, Mr. Rochester talked about Adele’s mother, Celine Varens. That evening, Jane finds Rochester asleep in his bed with the curtains and his bedclothes on fire, and she puts out the flames and rescues him.Feelings: I feel like the relationship between Jane and Mr. Rochester is changing-I see something about love.Chapter16Summary:Mrs. Fairfax told Jane that Mr. Rochester was taking a trip to Mr. Eshton’s house which was filled with girls who were fond of Mr. Rochester, especially Blanche Ingram, Lord Ingram’s daughter. After hearing this, Jane was pretty sure that Mr. Rochester would not be with her no matter what, so she became really sad.Feelings:I don’t think Mr. Rochester is that kind of guy who only cares about money and beauty to be honest. And if he has feelings for Jane, he may marry her. Chapter17Summary:Everyone spends the three days making frantic preparations for all the guests. When they rode up, some in carriages and some on horses, a beautiful woman in a purple dress was riding beside Rochester. It’s Blanche Ingram! The visitors enter, and Jane sat with Adele, half-listening to their noise and trying to keep Adele from running down and bothering them. Blanche and Rochester sang a song, and Jane wanted to leave, but she’s mesmerized by Rochester’s voice. As soon as he finished, she slipped out into the hallway. Rochester came out after Jane and asked why she didn’t come and talk to him in the drawing room. He wanted her to come back, but he could tell she’s about to cry, so he let her go. Feelings:Now I am more than sure that Jane was in love with Mr. Rochestercompletely. It’s obvious that Miss Blanche’s heart is not as beautiful as her appearance, so basically Mr. Rochester won’t choose her over Jane.Chapter18Summary: With Rochester absent, a stranger arrived at Thornfield. The stranger, whose name was Mason, claimed to be an old friend of Mr. Rochester’s. Later that day, a strange gypsy woman arrived, offering to tell their fortunes. Blanche Ingram went first. Everyone waited excitedly for her to come back and tell them what the woman said, but when she did come back she said the woman was obviously a fraud. The servant, Sam, told Jane that the gypsy woman said she kne w there’s another single woman in the group, and that she thought that must mean her. Jane’s curious about the woman, so she went to see her and had her own fortune told.Feelings:Though I wonder who Mason was, I’m more excited about the story between Jane and that “gypsy woman”. It could be really interesting!Chapter19Summary: Jane entered the library and saw the old gypsy woman reading a prayer-book by the fire. Her hat and handkerchief threw shadows over her face. The gypsy asked Jane about Mr. Rochester, and when she did n’t say much in response, the gypsy suggested that Mr. Rochester was in love with Blanche Ingram. Jane admitted that the rumor was that Rochester and Blanche were engaged, but corrected the woman on one thing—they were not in love. In a moment, the woman’s voice change d—the old gypsy woman was Mr. Rochester in disguise, and he’s just been mes sing with everyone. She told him about Mason’s arrival, and he’s so horrified that he c ouldn’t even stand up anymore. Then, Jane called Mason to meet Mr. Rochester in the room.Feelings: From this chapter, I’m happy to see that Mr. Rochester loved Jane too and he wanted to see if Jane had the same feelings as he did. From our point of view, they both love each other more than anything. However, Mr. Rochester’s behavior shows that Mason’s presence means something terrible has happened, or will happen.Chapter20Summary: Everyone in the house is woken up by all the noise. The guests stumble around in the corridor in their robes, but nobody seems to know what’s going on. Jane gets dressed, then sits by the window waiting. Mr. Rochester knocks on her door and asks her to come with him. He sends Jane back to get a sponge and some salts.Rochester tells Jane to stay with Mason and to make sure he stays awake, but not to talk to him at all for any reason. He gives her the sponge, which is bloody now, so that she can tend to the wound a little, too. For along time, Jane stays there, wiping blood, trying to keep him conscious. Rochester says that he warned Mason, and Mason should have listened. Mason says he thought he could have done something to make things better. While Mason is sent away, Rochester and Jane are left alone together outside the house, and he asks her to walk with him in the woods as the sun is rising before they go back to Thornfield Hall.Feelings: Mason is bitten by somebody! Who on earth he is? Why he comes to Thornfield? Who is the person that bites Mason? What’s their relationship with Mr. Rochester? There are still lots of answers to be found.Chapter21Summary: One afternoon, Jane is visited by Mr. Reed’s coachman. He tells Jane that John Reed is dead and that Mrs. Reed had a stroke when she heard. Jane goes in to see Mrs. Reed, who is lying ill in bed. Mrs. Reed is still harsh and bad-tempered, but she does want Jane to stay so that they can talk things over. As she’s dying, Mrs. Reed apologizes to Jane for concealing a letter from Jane’s uncle, John Eyre, which came three years ago. Mrs. Reed lets Jane read the letter, in which John asked where Jane was so that he could write a will making her the heir of his fortune when he died. Then Mrs. Reed admits something else: she wrote to John Eyre and told him Jane died of typhoid at Lowood.Feelings: Mrs. Reed’s behavior crossed the line. No matter what she has no right to conceal Jane’s letter from her uncle. She could treat Jane badly, but when somebody else wants to treat her like his own child, she just robbed her chance away? That’s not what elder people should do to her child.Chapter22Summary: Jane goes back to Thornfield. During the next two weeks, it’s pretty quiet and seems like Mr. Rochester is busy preparing his wedding with Blanche Ingram.Feelings: Sometimes things are not like what it seems to be. I’m sure it is Jane who Mr. Rochester really loves and the bride is going to be Jane instead of Blanche Ingram.Chapter23Summary: Rochester asks Jane to walk with him. Jane and Rochester sit on the bench under the chestnut tree. Rochester asks her to marry him. And of course, Jane agrees.Feelings: Looks like what I guess finally comes true. But everything is just way too perfect…Chapter24Summary: The next morning, Jane is blissfully happy and wonders if this is all a dream. Rochester starts telling Jane about all the fancy jewelry and clothes he’s going to give her. She looks him in the eye, and tells him that, if he keeps decking her out in expensive clothes and jewelry and behaving so badly about it, she’ll never wear anything he buys her.Feelings: The dialogues between them are cute and full of sweetness. They could have a successful marriage.Chapter25Summary:The previous evening, Jane went to bed, but couldn’t sleep. She thought she could hear a weird howling sound in the wind. When Jane woke up, there was a burning candle on the table in her room. Then Jane noticed that her closet door was open and someone was messing with her wedding dress and veil. Jane sat up in bed, shocked: the woman wasn’t anyone she knew at Thornfield, but someone else, a stranger. The stranger was a tall woman with long, dark hair dressed in white; her face was disturbing, with bloodshot red eyes, swollen, dark lips, and thick black eyebrows. T he strange woman was wearing Jane’s wedding veil, and, as Jane watched, the woman pulled it off, tore it in half, and trampled on it. Jane asks Mr. Rochester who the woman is. Rochester says that she imagined this nightmarish creature. Jane’s not really satisfied with this explanation, but she pretends to be to make Rochester feel better.Feelings: It could be a nightmare even if in dreams, let alone it real happens. That strange woman might be somebody who has a special and interesting identity.Chapter26Summary: It's the day of Jane and Rochester's wedding. It should be the happiest day of Jane's life, but during the church ceremony two men show up claiming that Rochester is already married. Mrs. Rochester is Bertha Mason, the "madwoman in the attic" who tried to burn Rochester to death in his bed, stabbed and bit her own brother, and who’s been doing other creepy things at night. Rochester was tricked into marrying Bertha fifteen years ago in Jamaica. Rochester claims that he’s not really married because his relationship with Bertha isn’t a real marriage. He wants Jane to go and live with him in France, where they can pretend to be a married couple and act like husband and wife. Jane refuses to be his next mistress and runs away before she’s tempted to agree.Feelings: What a mess! I bet that’s not what Mr. Rochester wants and also not what Jane wants. Actually, none of them did anything wrong, but life is life. Chapter27Summary: Jane stays in her room for most of the day with a debate raging in herhead: does she really have to leave Thornfield? Rochester wants Jane to go with him to France and live with him in a villa there as his "virtual" wife. He claims that he’s not really married and that Jane would basically be his wife, not his mistress. Jane realizes that what matters most is her own respect for herself, and that it’s even more important for her to cling to her principles at this difficult moment. Jane wakes up early and packs a few small things, leaving all the presents Rochester bought her.Feelings: God bless Jane! Hope she has made the right choice and will start a new life somewhere else.Chapter28Summary: Jane travels in a random direction away from Thornfield. Having no money, she almost starves to death before being taken in by the Rivers family, who live at Moor House near a town called Morton.Feelings: Jane is not that lucky, she never made it to live a happy life she wants. But she is lucky, too. She has got some warm-hearted people who are willing to help when she is in danger. I don’t know how to express that, but it’s sad to know life isn’t easy at all.Chapter29Summary: The Rivers siblings—Diana, Mary, and St. John—are about Jane’s age and well-educated, but somewhat poor. They take whole-heartedly to Jane, who has taken the pseudonym "Jane Elliott" so that Mr. Rochester can’t find her. Feelings: Jane has friends at her own age right now. They could get along with each other well.Chapter30Summary: Jane wants to earn her keep, so St. John arranges for her to become the teacher in a village girls’ school.St. John gets a letter stating that the Rivers’ Uncle John is dead. Jane watches as all the members of the Rivers family behave somewhat strangely about this—they’re not exactly sad; she’s not sure what they’re feeling. St. John explains that their uncle had argued with their father long before, and that he had a fortune of twenty thousand pounds, but decided to leave all the money to another relative.Feelings: Well, Jane has an uncle whose name is John, and the Rivers happens to have an Uncle John too? That’s definitely not a coincidence. The truth is that the Rivers are actually Jane’s cousin! She has her family right now!Chapter31Summary: Jane moves into her little cottage, which is simple but adequate. St.John tells her about his own experience—a year ago, he thought that he hated being a priest, but then he felt called by God to become a missionary. A young woman comes up and wishes St. John good evening. St. John completely freaks out for a moment, but then calms himself down and turns to talk to her. Jane notices how beautiful the woman is. It turns out that this is Miss Rosamond Oliver, the daughter of the man who’s paying Jane’s salary. Miss Oliver says she’ll come and help Jane out at the school sometimes. Miss Oliver tries to talk to St. John about normal things like a recent dance, but St. John is cold and disapproving.Feelings: I do think St. John is like that kind of crazy man who knows nothing but hi work. He may do harm to Jane.Chapter32Summary: On a school holiday, Jane is sitting alone at home, finishing the picture of Rosamond Oliver, when St. John drops by to bring her a new book to read. When he sees the portrait, he becomes disturbed. Jane asks St. John about the portrait for a bit, and eventually he admits that he knows it’s of Rosamond. She offers to make a copy for him—if he will admit that he wants one. St. John admits that he wants a copy of the picture, but says that it wouldn’t be good for him to have it. St. John pulls a piece of scrap paper over the portrait so that he doesn’t have to look at it anymore—and then he sees something on the paper that really surprises him. Jane can’t figure out wh at it is, but he tears off a piece and keeps it. Feelings: Clearly Rosamond Oliver and St. John love each other. So I think it’s not worthy of giving up their love and insisting on choosing a missionary’s wife. Chapter33Summary: St. John arrives, even though he had to struggle through the snow. He won’t tell her why he’s there, and he’s behaving really strangely. She starts to worry that he might be a little bit insane. It comes out that Diana, Mary, and St. John are all Jane’s cousins!When Jane’s Uncle Mr. Eyre dies and leaves his fortune to Jane, she shares her inheritance with the other three.Feelings: Jane hadn’t had the feeling of being with true families since she was sent to Gateshead Hall. I’m so happy for her that she finally finds a real home for her.Chapter34Summary: St. John wants to be more than Jane’s cousin. He admires Jane’s work ethic and asks her to marry him, learn Hindustani, and go with him to India on a long-term missionary trip. Jane refuses because she knows she doesn’t love St. John. Jane offers to go to India with him, but just as his cousin and co-worker, not as his wife. St. John won't give up and keeps pressuring Jane to marry him.Feelings:I still can’t understand St. John’s insane behavior. Things end up like nobody is happy.Chapter35Summary:Just as Jane’s about to give in, she supernaturally hears Mr. Rochester’s voice calling her name from somewhere far away.Feelings: I know Jane is meant to be Mr. Rochester’s wife. Even if they are so far away from each other, they can still hear the other’s voice through their heart. Chapter36Summary: Jane arranges a journey back to Thornfield. Jane comes up toward Thornfield walking along the wall of the orchard. She peeks out from around a corner of the wall... and sees a complete ruin. It’s burned down, blackened and collapsed. Shocked, Jane goes back to the inn and asks the host what happened. From him she learns the whole story of what happened: Bertha burned down the house in the middle of the night by setting fire to w hat used to be Jane’s own bed. Rochester saved the servants and then climbed up to a high wall where Bertha was standing to try to rescue her, but she jumped off and committed suicide. Rochester was blinded and lost a hand when the wall collapsed. Jane asks where Rochester is now, and the innkeeper tells her that he’s at his other home, Ferndean. Jane arranges to go there in a chaise right away.Feelings: Oh! Mr. Rochester is disabled right now. I couldn’t help thinking if Jane didn’t leave Thornfield, Mr. Rochester won’t lose his sight and his hand, and they could have live a happy life right now. Is Jane’s decision to leave wrong? It’s not obviously. Maybe that’s what life is like, full of strange combinations of circumstances.Chapter37Summary: Jane goes to Ferndean to find Rochester. When she comes up to the house, she sees him coming out and watches him for a long time without letting him know she’s there.Jane offers to be Rochester’s nurse or housekeeper, convinced that he will immediately ask her to m arry him again, but he doesn’t. Jane insists that Rochester eat supper, which he usually doesn’t. In the morning, Jane comes down to breakfast, and then takes Rochester outside so they can stroll in the wood and meadows. They sit down in a dry place and Rochester asks Jane to tell him where she’s been and what’s happened to her. Rochester laments his blindness and lost hand, but asks Jane to marry him anyway. She accepts gladly. Rochester also tells Jane that, four days before, between eleven and twelve at night, he called her name three times frantically—and he heard her respond. He thinks that perhaps they met in spirit. Jane doesn’t tell Rochester that she heard him call her name and responded to him while she was sitting, miles away,with St. John.Feelings: Just like “No matter the ending is perfect or not, you cannot disappear from my world.” Even though Mr. Rochester loses something, he gains love and that’s the most important thing for him. The story finally comes down to this point and I just wish they can be happy together..Chapter38Summary: They have a quiet wedding, and after two years of marriage Rochester gradually gets his sight back. They also have a son.Feelings: What can I say right now? I’m just honored to see such a romantic life experience of Jane Eyre, who is that kind of women I admire.Question1Mr. Rochester asked Jane Eyre twice to marry him. (In Chapter23 and Chapter37) Jane agreed to both but the first time they didn’t get married successfully because Jane knew about Mr. Rochester had already been married during their wedding. I think the reason why Jane chose to marry to Mr. Rochester even if he lost one of his hands and got blind was when she was away from Mr. Rochester at the Moor House, she realized she really cared about and was deeply in love with him. This time she chose to follow her heart instead of others’ words or judgments. Where there is great love, there are always miracles. Question2•Turning point No.1: when Mrs. Reed sent her to Lowood•Turning point No.2: when Jane met Helen and Temple at Lowood•Turning point No.3: when she left Lowood and started to teach at Thornfield Hall•Turning point No.4: when she fall in love with Mr. Rochester•Turning point No.5: when she knew Mr. Rochester had already been married and decided to leave Thornfield Hall•Turning point No.6: when she found the Moor House as a shelter•Turning point No.7: when she noticed her friends was also her family •Turning point No.8: when she returned to find Mr. Rochester精选。
Jane Eyre简爱英文版
My View
Jane’s life was sympathetic and hard, but her strong mind to pursue equal and independent impressed me deeply. Jane thought that love was based on the spiritual equality, and only loved each other can couple obtained happiness. So Jane didn’t give up her love because of the social status. Rochester was in the upper class, but he had fed up with the sham of it. It was Jane's kind and strong mind that woke him up just like a fresh wind.
Jane's story makes me thinking about my life and I learned much from her experience. We should have a strong mind, be tolerate and have confidence and courage to confront with difficulties and troubles.
However, when they held the wedding,
Bertha’s brother turned up and stopped them, for Rochester had a wife living. Though Jane loved her master with great affection, she decided to leave him. After suffering a lot in her leaving way, she met her cousin, Brocklehurst, and inherited a large number of legacies. When he promised to Jane Eyre, she thought of Mr. Rochester and finally returned. After finding Rochester’s misfortune brought by his original mad wife, Jane chose to stay with him forever.

夏洛蒂˙勃朗特《简爱》第1章英文版
《简爱》英文版Jane EyreChapter OneThere was no possibility of taking a walk that day. We had been wandering, ind eed, in the l eafl ess shrubbery an hour in the morning; but since dinner (Mrs. Reed, when there was no company, dined early) the col d winter wind had brought with it cl ouds so sombre, and a rain so penetrating, that further out-door exercise was now out of the question.I was glad of it: I never liked l ong walks, especially on chilly afternoons: dreadful to me was the coming home in the raw twilight, with nipped fingers and toes, and a heart sad d ened by the chidings of Bessie, the nurse, and humbled by the consciousness of my physical inferiority to Eliza, John, and Georgiana Reed.The said Eliza, John, and Georgiana were now clustered round their mama in the drawing room: she lay reclined on a sofa by the firesid e, and with her darlings about her (for the time neither quarrelling nor crying) l ooked perfectly happy. Me, she had dispensed from joining the group; saying, ‘She regretted to be und er the necessity of keeping me at a distance; but that until she heard from Bessie, and coul d discover by her own observation, that I was end eavouring in good earnest to acquire a more sociabl e and childlike disposition, a more attractive and sprightly manner - something lighter, franker, more natural as it were - she really must exclud e me from privileges intend ed only for contented, happy, littl e chil dren.’‘What d oes Bessie say I have d one?’ I asked.‘Jane,I d on't like cavillers or questioners; besid es, there is something truly forbid ding in a child taking up her eld ers in that manner. Be seated somewhere; and until you can speak pl easantly, remain silent.’A small breakfast room adjoined the drawing room, I slipped in there. It contained a bookcase: l soon possessed myself of a volume, taking care that it shoul d be one stored with pictures. I mounted into the wind ow-seat: gathering up my feet, I sat cross-l egged, like a Turk; and, having drawn the red moreen curtain nearly cl ose, I was shrined in d oubl e retirement.Fol ds of scarl et drapery shut in my view to the right hand; to the l eft were the cl ear panes of glass, protecting, but not separating me from the drear November day. At intervals, whil e turning over the l eaves of my book, I studied the aspect of that winter afternoon. Afar, it offered a pale blank of mist and cl oud; near a sceneof wet lawn and storm-beat shrub, with ceasel ess rain sweeping away wil dly before a l ong and lamentabl e blast.I returned to my book - Bewick's History of British Birds: the l etter-press thereof I cared little for, generally speaking; and yet there were certain introductory pages that, child as I was, I coul d not pass quite as a blank. They were those which treat of the haunts of sea-fowl; of ‘the solitary rocks and promontories’ by them only inhabited; of the coast of Norway, studd ed with isles from its southern extremity, the Lind eness, or Naze, to the North Cape - Where the Northern Ocean, in vast whirls boils round the naked, melancholy isles of farthest Thule; and the Atlantic surge pours in among the stormy Hebrides.Nor could I pass unnoticed the suggestion of the bl eak shores of Lapland, Siberia, Spitzbergen, Nova Zembla, Iceland, Greenland, with ‘the vast sweep of the Arctic Zone, and those forl orn regions of dreary space, - that reservoir of frost and snow, where firm fields of ice, the accumulation of centuries of winters, glazed in Alpine heights above heights, surround the pol e, and concentre the multiplied rigours of extreme col d.’ Of these d eath-white realms I formed an id ea of my own: shad owy, like all the half-comprehend ed notions that fl oat dim through children's brains, but strangely impressive. The words in these introductory pages connected themselves with the succeeding vignettes, and gave significance to the rock standing up al one in a sea of billow and spray; to the broken boat strand ed on a d esolate coast; to the col d and ghastly moon glancing through bars of cl oud at a wreck just sinking.I cannot tell what sentiment haunted the quite solitary churchyard, with its inscribed headstone; its gate, its two trees, its l ow horizon, girdl ed by a broken wall, and its newly-risen crescent, attesting the hour of eventid e.The two ships becalmed on a torpid sea, I believed to be marine phantoms.The fiend pinning d own the thief's pack behind him, I passed over quickly: it was an object of terror.So was the black horned thing seated aloof on a rock, surveying a distant crowd surrounding a gall ows.Each picture tol d a story; mysterious often to my und eveloped und erstanding and imperfect feelings, yet ever profoundly interesting: as interesting as the tales Bessie sometimes narrated on winter evenings, when she chanced to be in good humour; and when, having brought her ironing-tabl e to the nursery hearth, sheallowed us to sit about it, and whil e she got up Mrs. Reed's lace frills, and crimped her nightcap bord ers, fed our eager attention with passages of l ove and adventure taken from ol d fairy tales and other ballads; or (as at a later period I discovered) from the pages of Pamela, and Henry, Earl of Moreland.With Bewick on my knee, I was then happy: happy at l east in my way. I feared nothing but interruption, and that came too soon. The breakfast room d oor opened.‘Boh!Madam Mope!’ cried the voice of John Reed; then he paused: he found the room apparently empty.‘Where the dickens is she!’he continued. ‘Lizzy!Georgy!’(calling to his sisters) ‘Joan is not here: tell mama she is run out into the rain - bad animal!’‘It is well I drew the curtain,’ thought I; and I wished fervently he might not discover my hiding-place; nor would John Reed have found it out himself; he was not quick either of vision or conception; but Eliza just put her head in at the d oor, and said at once -‘She is in the wind ow-seat, to be sure, Jack.’And I came out immediately, for I trembled at the id ea of being dragged forth by the said Jack.‘What d o you want?’ I asked, with awkward diffid ence.‘Say, "What d o you want, Master Reed,"’ was the answer. ‘I want you to come here;’ and seating himself in an armchair, he intimated by a gesture that I was to approach and stand before him.John Reed was a schoolboy of fourteen years old; four years ol d er than I, for I was but ten; large and stout for his age, with a dingy and unwhol esome skin; thick lineaments in a spacious visage, heavy limbs and large extremities. He gorged himself habitually at tabl e, which mad e him bilious, and gave him a dim and bl eared eye and flabby cheeks. He ought now to have been at school; but his mama had taken him home for a month or two, ‘on account of his d elicate health.’Mr. Miles, the master, affirmed that he would do very well if he had fewer cakes and sweetmeats sent him from home; but the mother's heart turned from an opinion so harsh, and inclined rather to the more refined id ea that John's sallowness was owing to over-application and, perhaps, to pining after home.John had not much affection for his mother and sisters, and an antipathy to me. He bullied and punished me; not two or three times in the week, nor once ortwice in the day, but continually: every nerve I had feared him, and every morsel of fl esh on my bones shrank when he came near. There were moments when l was bewil d ered by the terror he inspired, because I had no appeal whatever against either his menaces or his inflictions; the servants did not like to offend their young master by taking my part against him, and Mrs. Reed was blind and d eaf on the subject: she never saw him strike or heard him abuse me, though he did both now and then in her very presence, more frequently, however, behind her back.Habitually obedient to John, I came up to his chair: he spent some three minutes in thrusting out his tongue at me as far as he could without damaging the roots; I knew he would soon strike, and whil e dreading the bl ow, I mused on the disgusting and ugly appearance of him who woul d presently d eal it. I wond er if he read that notion in my face; for, all at once, without speaking, he struck sud d enly and strongly. I tottered, and on regaining my equilibrium retired back a step or two from his chair.‘That is for your impudence in answering mama awhil e since,’ said he, ‘and for your sneaking way of getting behind curtains, and for the l ook you had in your eyes two minutes since, you rat!’Accustomed to John Reed's abuse, l never had an id ea of replying to it; my care was how to endure the bl ow which woul d certainly foll ow the insult.‘What were you d oing behind the curtain?’ he asked.‘I was reading.’‘Show the book.’I returned to the wind ow and fetched it thence。

简爱最著名的一段独白英语
简爱最著名的一段独白英语I was born a poor and plain-looking girl in a small village in England. My parents died when I was still very young, leaving me to the care of my heartless aunt and her three spoiled children. I was treated with disdain and subjected to their cruelty, both mental and physical. While I endured this miserable existence, my aunt made sure to remind me of my insignificance at every opportunity. However, despite my circumstances, I refused to let their words or actions define me.My aunt, Mrs. Reed, sent me away to a strict and cold boarding school called Lowood when I was ten years old. Life at Lowood was not easy; we were poorly fed, inadequately clothed, and forced to study under the glare of the unrelenting headmaster, Mr. Brocklehurst. It was a time of suffering and hardship, but I persevered. I was determined to prove that I was worthy of love and respect, even if no one else believed so.It was during my time at Lowood that I met a kindred spirit, Helen Burns. Helen was a remarkable girl, filled with wisdom and goodness. She taught me the power of forgiveness and the importance of remaining true to oneself. Despite the harsh realities of our existence, she radiated a sense of peace and contentment. Helen's words and unwavering faith in me became a beacon of hope in my darkest moments.After enduring years of toil and hard work, I finally graduated from Lowood and embarked on my journey as a governess. I secured a position at Thornfield Hall, where I was to care for Adele Varens, a young French girl. Little did I know that my lifewas about to change forever. It was at Thornfield that I met Mr. Rochester, the enigmatic and brooding owner of the estate.From the moment I met Mr. Rochester, my life took an unexpected turn. He was a complex man, with a temper as fiery as mine, and yet, underneath his gruff exterior, I sensed a vulnerability that drew me to him. We formed a deep connection, and as our relationship grew, I found myself falling in love with him. But our love was not without challenges. Mr. Rochester was already entangled in a secret marriage, his mad wife locked away in the attic of Thornfield Hall.When I discovered his secret, I struggled between my emotions and my moral duty. I decided to leave Thornfield, unwilling to be a party to his deception. It was a difficult decision, as my heart yearned for him, but I knew that true love should not be built upon lies and deceit.My journey continued, and I found myself in the care and love of St. John Rivers and his sisters. They provided me with a sense of belonging and purpose, yet my heart remained with Rochester. Despite St. John's proposal and his insistence that we work together as missionaries, I ultimately turned him down, unable to deny the passion and love that still burned within me for Mr. Rochester.In the end, I returned to Thornfield Hall to find it in ruins, destroyed by a fire set by Mr. Rochester's deranged wife. In the midst of the chaos, I managed to find Rochester, now blind and injured. We reconciled, and our love endured. Together, we rebuiltour lives, finding happiness and fulfillment in each other's arms. My story is not one of great wealth or extraordinary beauty, but it is a testament to the power of resilience and determination. I may have started as a poor and plain-looking girl, but through my journey, I discovered the strength within myself to rise above my circumstances and find love and happiness. My life may not be a fairytale, but it is a story of triumph over adversity, and that is what makes it truly remarkable.。
