Reading Report on Jude the ObscureI. Author: Thomas Hardy1. His LifeThomas Hardy, (2 June 1840 – 11 January 1928) is an English poet and regional novelist, whose works depict the county "Wessex", named after the ancient kingdom of Alfred the Great. Hardy's career as writer spanned over fifty years. His earliest books appeared when Anthony Trollope (1815-82) wrote his Palliser series, and he published poetry in the decade of T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land. Hardy's work reflected his stoical pessimism and sense of tragedy in human life.Hardy was born in Upper Bockhampton, a hamlet in the parish of Stinsford to the east of Dorchester in Dorset, England in 1840. His father Thomas worked as a stonemason and local builder. His mother Jemima was well-read. She educated Thomas until he went to his first school at Bockhampton at age eight. For several years he attended Mr. Last's Academy for Young Gentlemen in Dorchester. Here he learned Latin and demonstrated academic potential. However, a family of Hardy's social position lacked the means for a university education, and his formal education ended at the age of sixteen when he became apprenticed to James Hicks, a local architect. Hardy trained as an architect in Dorchester before moving to London in 1862; there he enrolled as a student at King's College, London. He won prizes from the Royal Institute of British Architects and the Architectural Association. Hardy never felt at home in London. He was acutely conscious of class divisions and his social inferiority. However, he was interested in social reform and was familiar with the works of John Stuart Mill. He was also introduced to the works of Charles Fourier and Auguste Comte during this period by his Dorset friend, Horace Moule. Five years later, concerned about his health, he returned to Dorset and decided to dedicate himself to writing.While on an architectural mission to restore the parish church of St Juliot in Cornwall, Hardy met and fell in love with Emma Lavinia Gifford, whom he married in 1874. Although he later became estranged from his son her death in 1912 had a traumatic effect on him. After her death, Hardy made a trip to Cornwall to revisit places linked with their courtship, and his Poems 1912–13 reflect upon her death. In 1914, Hardy married his secretary Florence Emily Dugdale, who was 39 years his junior. However, he remained preoccupied with his first wife's death and tried to overcome his remorse by writing poetry.Hardy became ill with pleurisy in December 1927 and died at Max Gate just after 9 pm on 11 January 1928, having dictated his final poem to his wife on his deathbed; the cause of death was cited, on his death certificate, as "cardiac syncope", with "old age" given as a contributory factor. His funeral was on 16 January at Westminster Abbey, and it proved a controversial occasion because Hardy and his family and friends had wished for his body to be interred at Stinsford in the same grave as his first wife, Emma. However, his executor, Sir Sydney Carlyle Cockerell, insisted that he be placed in the abbey's famous Poets' Corner. A compromise was reached whereby his heart was buried at Stinsford with Emma, and his ashes in Poets' Corner.Shortly after Hardy's death, the executors of his estate burnt his letters and notebooks. Twelve records survived, one of them containing notes and extracts of newspaper stories from the 1820s. Research into these provided insight into how Hardy kept track of them and how he used them in his later work. In the year of his death Mrs. Hardy published The Early Life of Thomas Hardy,1841–1891: compiled largely from contemporary notes, letters, diaries, and biographical memoranda, as well as from oral information in conversations extending over many years.Grave of Thomas Hardy's heart at Stinsford parish churchHardy's work was admired by many writers of a younger generation including D. H. Lawrence and Virginia Woolf. In his autobiography Goodbye to All That, Robert Graves recalls meeting Hardy in Dorset in the early 1920s, and Hardy received him and his new wife warmly, and was encouraging about his work.Hardy's cottage at Bockhampton and Max Gate in Dorchester are owned by the National Trust.Thomas Hardy was bestowed many honors during his lifetime, including being nominated President of the Society of Authors in 1909; the Order of Merit from King George V in 1910; the Gold Medal from the Royal Society of Literature in 1912; an honorary degree from Cambridge University, and an honorary fellowship of Magdalene College, Cambridge.2. His Literary ThemesHardy‟s witness of the change of the Victorian society made his later works seem to be more desperate too. Life after 1870s in England became drastically different with drastic changes in mood and tenor. Science and industrialization went hand in full swing, the nation was heading to the phase of aggressive and barbaric capitalism, and millions of people found themselves struggling for mere existence. Factories straggled across the country; farms went bankrupt; and huge numbers of the poor landed in city slums. The world became increasingly more amoral. Man was no longer a free ethical being in face of the forces out of his control. He was manipulated by fate and destiny and chances, and there was nothing he could do about it. The mood of frustration, despair, and pessimism hanged over the nation, and the age of Emile Zola‟s naturalism had arrived. Although Hardy did not embrace Zola‟s naturalistic aesthetic, he was apparently affected; the spirit of determinism characteristic of the naturalistic works of the period permeated his later novels as well. Hence in this aspect and more, Hardy anticipated the coming of the modern novel in his country.Hardy criticizes certain social constraints that hindered the lives of those living in the 19th century. Considered a Victorian Realist writer, Hardy examines the social constraints that are part of the Victorian status quo, suggesting these rules hinder the lives of all involved and ultimately lead to unhappiness. In Two on a Tower, Hardy seeks to take a stand against these rules and sets up a story against the backdrop of social structure by creating a story of love that crosses the boundaries of class. The reader is forced to consider disposing of the conventions set up for love. Nineteenth-century society enforces these conventions, and societal pressure ensures conformity. Swithin St Cleeve's idealism pits him against contemporary social constraints. He is a self-willed individual set up against the coercive strictures of social rules and mores.Hardy‟s characters often enco unter crossroads, which are symbolic of a point of opportunity and transition. But the hand of fate is an important part of many of Hardy's plots. Far From the Madding Crowd tells a tale of lives that are constructed by chance. “Had Bathsheba not sent the valentine, had Fanny not missed her wedding, for example, the story would have taken an entirely different path.”[9] Hardy's main characters often seem to be in the overwhelming and overpowering grip of fate.3.

The Novel Jude the ObscureJude the Obscure, published in 1895, met with overwhelming negative outcries from the Victorian public for its frank treatment of sex, and was often referred to as "Jude the Obscene". Heavily criticized for its apparent attack on the institution of marriage through the presentation of such concepts as erotolepsy (erotolepsy is a term first used by English author Thomas Hardy in his 1895 novel Jude the Obscure to describe a passionate sensual desire and longing which is more violent and urgently felt than erotomania(色情狂). It has been variously described as "love-seizure" and "sexual recklessness". The term has since made its way into more widespread common parlance, being used by such writers as American poet Susan Mitchell in her 2001 poetry collection Erotikon), the book caused further strain on Hardy's already difficult marriage because Emma Hardy was concerned that Jude the Obscure would be read as autobiographical. Some booksellers sold the novel in brown paper bags, and the Bishop of Wakefield is reputed to have burnt his copy. In his postscript of 1912, Hardy humorously referred to this incident as part of the career of the book: "After these [hostile] verdicts from the press its next misfortune was to be burnt by a bishop – probably in his despair at not being able to burn me".In Jude the Obscure, Thomas Hardy presents the characters Jude Fawley and Sue Bridehead who violate the conventions of the repressive Victorian society while attempting to follow their natural instincts. Their journey of pursuing true love has never been joyful under the pressure from the Victorian society, especially when Jude is a romantic and lower-class man who is ambitious to enter university and Sue is a so educated and wise woman. Just before they got to know clearly the love between each other, both of them had paid their marriage or freedom forpublic pressure----Jude had to marry Arabella for his first curiosity of woman and that resulted in a unhappy marriage; Sue had to promise Phillotson that she would marry him after she finished the teaching work Phillotson introduced to her. However, both of them cannot live such boring life. Finally Jude, being rejected by his dream of entering university, ran away with Sue and could at least live with his love. Though both of them were kind of suffering the pain of escaping or abandoning their former marriage, they had a relatively happy life and had two children of their own and one eldest kid from Arabella and Jude who was very peculiar and nicknamed …Father Time‟. At this time, though the family did everything to get better off, gossips always haunted them, which made Sue grow more and more depressed and doubt whether she made the wrong choice. Unfortunately, her painful words were heard by Father Time, and he thought all these sorrow and pain in life was caused by the three kids. Thus he killed the other two children and committed suicide. The huge grief of losing three kids made Sue so desperate that she turned to be another totally different woman all of sudden. She began to believe in those creeds she ever scorned and started to pray all the time in the church and considered only her former formal marriage in church to be the only accepted sacred marriage. Thus finally she went back to Phillotson as an atonement of her …crime‟, leaving Jude in frustration and hopelessness. Till the end, Jude not only did not realize his university dream, but also failed to make his true love survive in cruel Victorian society.Every reader should recognize that the failure of realizing a dream or having romantic love could never be the only thing Hardy wants to tell them. The themes of the novel consist of enormous issues, such as the struggle of the lower class people, reveal and critique of traditional Victorian values, and the struggle of female consciousness and so on. This reading report is aimed to analyze the three themes mentioned, mainly focused on the last one and taking Sue as the example.Firstly, in this novel, Jude stands for many other lower class people who were born to be poor and had to work hard to make a living. Even though Victorian Age in people eyes seems to be full of gold and luxury, what cannot be ignored is the more and more furious contradiction between the bourgeoisie and the working class. Workers have to work very hard to survive, not to mention realizing dreams. In this case, readers will never think of that in real life an ordinary worker would struggle to seize every opportunity to study on his own, dreaming one day he could go to university just like those noble students. That is what mostly makes Jude so peculiar and lovely in readers‟eyes. His persistent longing to being a university student and all his seemingly silly efforts for that has touched many readers‟ heart. Furthermore, his desperate love also arises much contemplation. When a man meets his true love, should he rushes to catch it disregarding anything else, especially when he was nobody? Actually the reason why readers conclude Jude is so special is that in real life few people pay a little attention to those common and obscure workers around them. Every worker must have their dreams just like Jude, dreams of having better life. Every worker must have their love just like Jude, love they think they could never leave behind. Both these workers and Jude live their life as every other higher class people do, only harder and tougher. But Jude in the novel Hardy depicts to readers still has something special----Jude seeks for knowledge, and entering university is a good approach. This kind of dream makes readers more surprised and more sensitive about Jude‟s experience. Thus Jude‟s similarity with other workers and his peculiarity as a seeker of education form a tension and exaggeration which lead readers to penetrate workers‟ both life and mind problems. As a result,it is a little one-sided to consider the novel as a song of failure of one man, instead taking Jude in a background where though workers have been exhausted to make a living in a very tough environment, they still have dreams and also exert all their energies to try to finish it. However, Jude does not realize his dream. Though his dream itself seems to be romantic and unpractical, the workers‟ struggle will not end for some time.Secondly, readers could easily find many Victorian values broken in this novel in not only the character‟s behaviors and words but also Hardy‟s description of sex. Generally speaking, the whole Victorian Age is a period when light and darkness, grace and dirty, saint and evil coexist with each other. What people and the society accept and praise at that time is always the good side, even if all the people are doing bad things simultaneously. Reason, moral integrity and self-restrainment become people‟s creed and at the same time the suppression of human and freedom. What is most emphasized is that marriage is sacred and couples should not have sex before they get married. However, in this background, Hardy tells readers a fresh story. The hero and heroine should abandon their respective lawful marriage and live together unmarried in church and have two children. No doubt that more and more gossips appear and linger on. And over once Hardy describes the sex boldly (in Victorian Age women should not be seen any piece of skin from head to toe). Thus it is imaginable that Jude the Obscure must be an atomic bomb at that time. However, modern readers should believe that what Jude and Sue do is not wrong and they just want to pursue the true love. What stop them are the society and the traditional value system. Even only the heroine, Sue, is a rather educated woman with wisdom. Her bold contact with a college man, her scorn toward those traditional creed and her bravery to run away with Jude, show that her mind goes far more advanced than other people, even than Jude. Nevertheless, in the end Jude and Sue‟s marriage gets broken like a bubble, Jude loses his ambition and his love and dies lonely and desperately, and Sue go away from her love and suffers the spiritual pain. At the ultimate moment, the particular couple cannot go through the pressure of the traditional values and morality.Thirdly, compared to Jude, Sue, as an smart enough woman, shows more spiritual conflict and arouses more controversy and readers‟ rethinking about women at that time. Just as what is mentioned in last paragraph, women in Victorian Age are both respected and despised. In life they should cover themselves up to teeth for protection but one man could buy any thirteen-year-old girl by 3 pounds. Women have no right to make big decisions at home and are considered by men to be the attachment to men. Women from higher class are treated like a vase, and those from lower should go out to work. Even the greatest politician at that time thinks that the vote right can destroy women‟s purity. Patriarchy is the dominant force. All these lead to many unsatisfied responses from women. Women's suffrage movement began in 1872in the United Kingdom unquestionably. As a tide-chasing writer, Hardy is deeply influenced by it. Not only in Jude the Obscure, but in his many other works can readers find his attention toward and remarkable description of women. Sue, a fresh female figure Hardy depicts, not only reads many books but also has wise brain. She looks down on those religion creeds, believes that marriage is just used to be shown to others to prove love and she never thinks that man is superior to woman so that she ever makes friends with a university student for a long time but when the schoolboy show his love to her, she thinks that is not actually what she wants and leaves him. Even when she finally lives together with Jude, she still refuses Jude‟s suggestion that they get married in church. Her passion and honesty in love, in her opinion, does not need to be proved withmarriage, or the cage of marriage could only make her love fade. Such a new female in Hardy‟s novel indeed reflects the females‟ situation at late nineteenth century: women were no longer the embodiment of innocence and obedience but became a new knowledgeable force against the patriarch society. They began to know the world and fought for themselves for freedom and rights. Sue is an example of them. She is undoubtedly learned, which astonishes Jude, and her words and behaviors show her reversal of the established rules at that time. However, she pays a lot for these so that she falls into endless guilty and identity crisis. Her faith changes and she turns to be a devout believer. She not only abandons her love, her passion but also her all definition of her life. Equality, freedom and true love have been cast away and are replaced by religion, atonement, obedience, self-restrainment dominating her later life. From here, it can be considered that Hardy could not offer a right way for women to fight a way out or he also cannot totally put women on the equal position with men. Thus Sue, and Arabella who manages to get everything she wants by any means, the two women, do not achieve real freedom and become the sacrifice of abnormal society under the pressure of traditional values in the end.。

TheLoons英文读后感

TheLoons英文读后感

TheLoons英文读后感On Theme of The LoonsThe Loons, one of the well-known fictions of Margaret Laurence, portrays the living conditions of the protagonist, Piquette T onnerre, who is an Indian girl. On the other hand, we can find that the loons are mentioned several times in the story, which echoes the title. As far as I am concerned, the loons and the growth of Piquette serve as two clues from which two branch themes are expressed respectively.Piquette is a plain-looking girl coming from a humble family. She has to do family chores and cannot attend school regularly. She limps because of tuberculosis of the bone. The father of the narrator Vanessa is the doctor of Piquette. He took Piquette with the families to Diamond Lake for a vacation because of sympathy for her. Piquette was an unsociable and mocking girl and sensitive to the topic of woods and loons mentioned by Vanessa. During the vacation they remained ill at ease with each other. Four years later Vanessa got startled at Piquett e’s great change when meeting her occasionally n a café. She became much more beautiful and opener than before but seemed to being living a disordered life. She blew about her approaching marriage with her handsome boy friend. Inthe end when Vanessa because a college student Piquette died with her children in a fire.From the contrast of the different lives of the two girls we can find the huge gap between the minorities and the mainstream of Canadian society. Indians were the aborigines of the Continent of North America before Europeans immigrating here and driving them away to secluded areas. So Indians remaindiscriminated against by the white-dominated society. They are of humble status and cannot adapt themselves to the mainstream culture. Piquette is just a representative of those present living condtions of them.In the story the narrator tells us about her two experiences of listening the cry of loons. Once during the vacation Vanessa listened to them with her father. The crying of the loons was described as ululating, plaintive and mocking. She went to the Diamond Lake again after hearing about the death of Piquette. However, the loons disappeared because more cottages were built and more people came in. The habitats of the loons were destroyed by human beings gradually and they might die out sooner and lataer.The loons are the symbol of nature as well as ecosystem, and the extinction of loons reflects the ecological crisis caused in the process of human civilization as well as the predatory exploitation human beings have exerted to nature.The author conveys great concern for the harmonious coexistence of human beings with nature and equality between people of different races, sexes or classes by criticizing the relationship of dominating and being dominated between human beings and nature as well as their fellows. What the loons and Piquette have in common is that they represent the culture and civilization of minorities. In the modern society of multiculturalism different kinds of cultures and different races are treated unequally. To reach the goal of harmonious development we human beings have to protect and respect nature and minority groups. This is just what the author wants to convey to us.。

“My dear boy, the people who love only once in their lives are really the shallow people. What they call their loyalty, and their fidelity, I call either the lethargy of custom or their lack of imagination. Faithfulness is to the emotional life what consistency is to the life of the intellect--simply a confession of failure. Faithfulness! I must analyse it some day. The passion for property is in it. There are many things that we would throw away if we were not afraid that others might pick them up. But I don't want to interrupt you. Go on with your story.”

哈代所写的一本书,因为《无名的裘德》讲述的是一对表兄妹的爱情故事,所以这本书的作者受到了人们的舆论攻击。

这本书讲述的是一名叫裘德的青年,他勤奋好学,拥有者远大的抱负,渴望着上大学,但却被大学拒之门外。

而他所深爱的表妹容貌过人,思想开放,但是她跟裘德的爱情却不被世俗接受,因此她离开了裘德,而造成了裘德郁郁成疾,英年早逝的悲剧。

裘德一直都是一个勤奋好学的人,希望能成为一名牧师,于是他刻苦努力学习,但在他的那个时代,一个黑暗的时代,一切都是为有钱有势的人而服务,出身穷寒,没有金钱没有势力的裘德注定上不了大学,他的家庭环境像一道隐形的墙把他阻挡在大学的门外。

这是多么可悲的`一件事,一个知识渊博,富有才华的人就因此被埋没了。

有的人曾质疑过高考是否要取消,因为它给学生带来了过大的压力。

可是如果没有高考,那会不会出现更多的裘德呢,就是因为高考的存在,许多普通学子才能拥有属于自己的未来,是能通往自己梦想的道路发,才不会出现裘德这样的悲剧。

而书中的女主人公淑,一开始是一个热情开朗的人,不屑于遵守传统习俗,大胆地与裘德相爱,因此受到了人们的唾弃,强大的社会旧势力压的喘不过气,在社会势力的压迫下,她变成了一个传统守旧的人,她变得麻木,不再像以前那样热情,乐观,也是旧传统习俗的下而造成的一个悲剧。

就像我国古代,封建势力也是让女性禁锢在传统的思想里,三从四德,“饿死事小,失节事大”在当时人们看来礼节比性命还要重要,蒲松龄所写的《婴宁》也是像淑一样,开始热情开朗,在旁人的指指点点下,她也从一个不拘小节的人变成了规规矩矩,遵守传统的人,这些传统的旧思想让女性受到了压迫,造成了许多的悲剧。

这本书充分质疑了当时黑暗的社会环境和对传统婚姻观念的否定。

无名的裘德英文观后感

无名的裘德英文观后感《无名的裘德》(No Country for Old Men)是一个由乔尔·科恩和伊桑·科恩执导的犯罪惊悚片,改编自Cormac McCarthy的同名小说。

这部影片于2007年上映,并因其引人入胜的故事情节、精彩的演技以及精心打造的氛围而备受赞誉。

故事背景设在20世纪80年代的得克萨斯州,剧情围绕着一起被裘德·贝尔(Llewelyn Moss)无意中发现的毒品交易案展开。

裘德·贝尔是一个守法的前越战老兵,他发现了一个被毒贩和歹徒们遗弃的大笔现金。

面对如此巨大的诱惑,裘德·贝尔决定将钱据为己有,这引来了一位名叫安东·陶查(Anton Chigurh)的残忍无情的杀手的追捕。

电影以一连串的暴力事件、逃亡和冷血杀戮为主线,通过讲述裘德·贝尔与安东·陶查之间的殊死追逐,展现了人性的脆弱和罪恶的存在。

影片以真实、残酷和引人思考的方式探讨了道德、命运和暴力的主题。

《无名的裘德》的成功在于它的故事的深度和人物的刻画。

裘德·贝尔这个角色展示了一个极具复杂性和矛盾性的人物形象。

他是一个有血性的男人,但又重视家庭的价值观。

他的坚毅和果断使他能够应对残忍的追捕,然而,他的思想和心灵却逐渐被这一连串的事件所侵蚀,最终导致他陷入绝望的境地。

安东·陶查则是电影中的反面角色,他是一个没有人性和情感的杀手。

他用冷酷的方式追捕裘德·贝尔,毫不留情地消灭一切妨碍他追踪的人。

安东·陶查的形象给人留下了深刻的印象,他以他冰冷的目光和无情的行为塑造了一个可怕而又令人震惊的角色。

影片的视觉效果和音效也是其成功的关键因素之一。

导演乔尔·科恩和伊桑·科恩用大量的静默画面和环境音效来营造紧张的氛围,使观众陷入影片所创造的紧张气氛中。

影片的摄影也相当出彩,利用得克萨斯州的荒凉景色和富有视觉冲击力的画面,为故事增加了一种独特的氛围。

《无名的裘德》中的人物悲剧命运研究英语、-回复题目:A Study on the Tragic Fate of the Characters in "The Unknown Jude"Introduction:In "The Unknown Jude," the characters' tragic destinies play a crucial role in shaping the narrative. This study aims to delve into the reasons behind their unfortunate fates. By examining the socio-economic background, personal struggles, and societal norms, we can gain a deeper understanding of the factors that contribute to their tragic outcomes.Body:1. Socio-economic background:In the novel, one of the primary factors leading to the characters' tragic fates is their socio-economic background. For instance, the protagonist, Jude, is born into a lower-class family, which limits his access to education and opportunities. This restriction shapes his outlook on life and prevents him from escaping poverty. Similarly, Sue Bridehead, another significant character, is also affected byher lack of economic privilege. These characters' relentless pursuit of self-improvement in a society that discriminates against them ultimately leads to their tragic ends.2. Personal struggles:The personal struggles faced by the characters in "The Unknown Jude" also contribute to their tragic destinies. Jude possesses an intense desire to gain acceptance from the upper-class society, which perpetually torments him. This internal struggle influences his decisions and often leads him down a path of self-destruction. Furthermore, Sue's internal conflict between societal expectations and her unconventional beliefs leads to her tragic fate. Her inability to conform to societal norms prevents her from finding happiness and fulfillment, ultimately resulting in tragedy.3. Societal norms:The restrictive societal norms prevalent during the time period of "The Unknown Jude" greatly impact the characters' tragic fates. The strict moral codes and religious doctrines place unnecessary burdens on the characters, limiting their personal freedoms and happiness. This tragedy is exemplified through Arabella's character, who is a victim of societal expectations regardingmarriage and fidelity. Her actions to conform to these societal norms result in suffering for both herself and Jude. Society's harsh judgment and disapproval ultimately shape the tragic outcomes depicted in the novel.4. Relationships and Love:Love and relationships in "The Unknown Jude" contribute significantly to the characters' tragedy. The inability to find and maintain meaningful connections with others creates a sense of isolation and despair. Jude's relationships with both Arabella and Sue are marked by hardship and unfulfilled desires, leading to immense emotional turmoil. Their tragic love stories depict the destructive consequences of unrequited love, societal pressures, and personal insecurities.Conclusion:"The Unknown Jude" masterfully portrays the tragic fates of its characters through socio-economic backgrounds, personal struggles, societal norms, and failed relationships. The novel's exploration of these factors provides valuable insights into the complexities of human existence and highlights the profoundimpact of external circumstances on individual destinies. By analyzing and understanding these elements, readers can gain a deeper appreciation for the tragic beauty and social commentary presented in the novel.。

《无名的裘德》的读后感

《无名的裘德》的读后感

《无名的裘德》是托马斯·哈代的一部经典小说,讲述了一个普通农村青年裘德追求知识和爱情的故事。

在阅读这部小说后,我深感震撼,对裘德的命运产生了无尽的同情和敬意。

裘德是一个勤奋好学、热爱知识的青年,他渴望通过自己的努力改变命运,过上更好的生活。

然而,在当时的社会环境下,他的努力却屡屡受挫。

这让我想起了现实生活中那些努力奋斗的人们,他们为了理想和信仰,不惜付出一切代价。

这种精神让我深受感动,也让我明白了一个道理:在这个世界上,总有人愿意为了自己的信仰而奋斗,哪怕付出生命的代价。

小说中的裘德与苏菲亚的爱情也是令人感慨万分。

他们相识于求学时期,共同追求知识和理想。

然而,现实的压力和世俗的眼光让他们的爱情变得愈发艰难。

最终,苏菲亚选择了放弃,而裘德则孤独地走向了生命的尽头。

这段感情让我感受到了爱情的无奈和悲哀,也让我明白了一个道理:在现实生活中,我们不仅要为自己的梦想而努力,还要学会珍惜身边的人和事。

此外,《无名的裘德》还展示了当时英国农村的生活现状。

作者通过对裘德家庭的描绘,让我们看到了农民的艰辛和贫困。

这种生活的无常和残酷让人感叹不已,也让我明白了一个道理:在这个世界上,总有人生活在水深火热之中,我们应该学会关爱他人,尽自己所能去帮助他们。

《无名的裘德》读后感

《无名的裘德》读后感

《无名的裘德》是英国作家托马斯·哈代创作的最后一部长篇小说,出版于1895年。

这部小说以悲怆的笔调叙述了乡村青年裘德一生的悲剧,
展现了他对知识的渴望、对爱情的追求以及与环境的冲突。

裘德是一个好学深思、刻苦自修的人,他的梦想是进入大学深造,但在那个时代的社会环境中,他的努力却始终被拒之于大学门外。

他与女主人公淑的爱情充满了挑战,淑聪颖美貌,更重要的是具有独立的人格和思想,蔑视世俗和僵化的宗教。

然而,他们的爱情却为教会所不容、世俗所不齿。

在裘德的人生旅途中,他不断遭遇挫折和失败。

他的壮志未酬,谋职无路,告贷无门。

最痛苦的是,他的长子和弱妹幼弟一同吊死。

面对这样的打击,淑选择了向命运和教会屈服,离开了深爱的裘德。

而裘德则终日纵酒,郁郁成疾,年未满三十就含恨离世。

这部小说不仅是对裘德悲惨身世的真实叙说,更是对灵肉之争的沉痛
诠释。

哈代自称要在书中写出“灵与肉的生死搏斗”,这也是他小说中最突出的作品之一。

它揭示了人性与社会环境之间的复杂关系,引发了读者对于个人理想与社会现实之间冲突的深入思考。

男主人公裘德自幼父母双亡,虽然贫困孤苦,但他却有着一颗上进求索的心。

他先是在乡村面包店里做伙计,后在石匠铺学徒。

在艰苦劳作之余,他好学深思、刻苦自修,却始终被拒之于大学门外。

女主人公苏珊娜聪颖美貌,接受过正规的师范教育,她不但具有独立的思想和人格,而且蔑视世俗和僵化的宗教。

为了爱情,他们敢于挑战世俗与教会,并且最终走到了一起。

裘德雄心不止,但壮志未酬,更不幸的是他们的孩子因故而亡。

绝望中,苏珊娜终向命运和教会屈服,离开了深爱的裘德;而裘德则终日纵酒,郁郁成疾,未满三十岁即含恨而终。

thelordoftheflies英文读书报告

thelordoftheflies英文读书报告

thelordoftheflies英文读书报告Book ReportThe Lord of the Flies is written by William Golding, who was a British novelist, poet and playwright. He was awarded for the Nobel Prize for literature in 1983 for this novel. When William Golding was 29-year-old, he joined the royal navy. During World War II, Golding fought in the Royal Navy. He also participated in the invasion of Normandy on D-day, commanding a landing ship. At the war’s end, he returned to teaching and writing. This experience influenced on his later writing. In September 1954, The Lord of the Flies was published.In this novel it told a story that take place on an isolated island. A group of boys are evacuated from Britain, where a nuclear war is going on. Unfortunately, the plane that carried the boys is crashed on an isolated island. The only survivors are the boys below age 13. Two British boys named Ralph and Piggy first appeared in this novel. They find a conch and Piggy suggests that Ralph uses it as a horn to call for any other survivors who might be nearby. Soon, other boys come to them. Ralph is voted to be the leader. At first, they all listen to Ralph’s order. They set a fire, they build shelters. The harmony is broke down since the rumor that there’s a beast on the island was spread among them. Jack, who is the head of a choir, soon forms a separate tribe from Ralph’s because Jack believes the existence of the beast. This tribe gradually becomes more savage and they only focus on hunting. Later, Simon, a part of Ralph’s tribe, is killed by other boys for being mistaken as the beast. Next comes to the death of Piggy, then Jake and his hunters try to kill Ralph. In the end of the novel, a navy officer lands on the island and his suddenappearance brings the children's fighting to an abrupt halt.Besides reading this novel, I also watched the adapted movie. To tell the truth, I was almost going to cry when I saw the scene that Simon was killed. I felt very depressed and I spent quite a long time on keeping myself from thinking the unbearable darkness of this novel. In my opinion, all of the main figures have distinct characteristics. I’d like to analyze several of them one by one.Ralph-elected chief soon after the boys' plane crashes on the island. He was well educated; he was the most convinced one that they would be rescued. I think all of these are because of his family background: his father was a navy officer. Ralph struggled to maintain order. He is calm and logical. He understood things the other boys did not: the need to keep the rescue fire going, the necessity of building huts, and the need for work. He sometimes would listen to others’opinions (like Piggy). Basically, Ralph it is a qualified leader because he has already tried his best to lead. For example, he once made a preparation for an assembly;when the children are obliged to investigate Castle Rock, Ralph takes the lead despite being horribly afraid of the "beast". However, he is a typical dreamer not a doer, which is just the characteristic of leaders in reality. When I was reading about the scene: he disappointed found out that the signal fire had gone out when a ship passed by. This terrible thing resulted by Jack, because he summoned all of his hunters to hunt down a wild pig, including those who were supposed to be maintaining the fire. When Ralph knew this, he was so angry. At that time, I was supposing Ralph would do something even serious punishment on Jack. To my surprise, he just behaved angry and said something to Jake. He called for an assembly for this. Andthe result wasn’t fulfilled because he just said something instead of really do something. I think that’s the main reason why Jack dared to rebel against Ralph.Jack-leader of the choir turned savage hunter. From the beginning to the end, it was Jack who never believed that they would be rescued. So he only thought about hunting and having fun. This is the biggest contradiction between him and Ralph. A lot of people commented that Jack is the most evil character in this novel, however, I don’t agree with it. Jack’s initial idea about hunting wasn’t wrong. He just desired for meat and he used his action to achieve it. Also, there is one thing that you can’t deny: Ralph and Piggy didn’t refuse th e meat that Jack given. Compared with Jack, I think Roger is more dislikeable. Why As you know, when the boys first arrived on the island, Roger was shy and furtive. When war broke out between the boys, he came to the forefront as the main enforcer for Jack, the boy tyrant. Roger's methods of terror and uses of torture mirror the actions of groups such as the Nazis in wartime Germany. And he is the murder of Piggy.Simon-the strangest of the boys, he was extremely shy and unable to communicate the truth about the island, the beast, and human nature. Every time he got the conch, he would fail to speak out his thoughts. He is kind. He picked fruit for the littluns and gave Piggy meat. He is my favorite part in this novel because I think Simon is totally different from other boys on the island. He is unique! Simon is the only person on the island kno ws the truth of the “beast”, the first one figures out that “beast” origins in people’s heart, the most tragic character in this novel. It is hard to imagine such a little boy has the courage to find out the true “beast”, the thing that others are very afraid of. Andthe conversation between him and “the lord of flies” predicts their future exactly. As soon as he knew the truth, he ran to tell others about it. When h e got there, Jack’s tribe is having a ritual. Those savage people mistook Simon for the beast. Before Simon told the truth, he was killed by others. It is irony, isn’t it I think the death of Simon symbolizes the destruction of civilization and truth.Human nature, a topic which has been discussed and debated on by sociologists for hundreds, or even thousands of years. But no one can supply a satisfying answer to us. Golding shows his opinion through this novel: the primal human nature is evil. To be frankly, I think he is too pessimistic. As what I have just wrote about Jack, his initial idea about hunting doesn’t deserve so much criticism. In Robinson Crusoe, Robinson definitely would hunt. But no one criticizes him for cruel. Then, what leads Jack to a bloodthirsty savage For my part, it is the environment around him changed him. Jack interacts with his followers. As a whole, I am optimistic that the primal human nature is good.。

无名的裘德 读书报告

Book ReportClass:11Name:王少慧The Book Report of Jude the Obscure Introduction:Thomas Hardy (1840-1928), a Victorian writer, is born in Dorse. He gave up architecture and made literature his profession. He is a transitional writer between 19th and 20th century. In him, we see the influence both from the past and the modern: an apparent nostalgic touch in the primitive rural life and sympathetic attitude toward those traditional characters.Thomas Hardy was bestowed many honors during his lifetime, including being nominated President of the Society of Authors in 1909; the Order of Merit from King George V in 1910; the Gold Medal from the Royal Society of Literature in 1912; an honorary degree from Cambridge University, and an honorary fellowship of Magdalene College, Cambridge.Hardy‟s characters in the novels often encounter crossroads, which are symbolic of a point of opportunity and transition. But the hand of fate is an important part of many of Hardy's plots. Far From the Madding Crowd tells a tale o f lives that are constructed by chance. “Had Bathshebanot sent the valentine, had Fanny not missed her wedding, for example, the story would have taken an entirely different path.”[9] Hardy's main characters often seem to be in the overwhelming and overpowering grip of fate. Jude the Obscure is the last of Thomas Hardy's novels. In the book, its hero, Jude Fawley, is a working-class young man who dreams of becoming a scholar. The other main character is his cousin, Sue Bridehead, who is also his central love interest. The themes in the novel revolve around issues of class, education, religion, and marriage. Hardy began making notes for the story in 1887.BodyHardy‟s novel shows the forces of nature outside and inside. In his novel, man are not the masters of their fates, they are at the mercy of indifferent forces, which control their behaviors and their relations with others. Hardy likes to give up a vivid description of the change of society.The life of Jude is a tragedy. He fails in his career and love. He is diligent when he is a boy. He dreams of going to the Christ Minster and spare no effort to do for his dream. Because of this, he ever does a stupid thing. He wants to get some Latin and Greek grammars form a phycian and the phycian promise him to sell his books to him if Jude can get some orders for him, but at last, the phycian breaks his promise.

The Book Report of Jude the ObscureJude the Obscure is one of the most famous novels in Victorian age written by Tomas Hardy, which has withstood the test of time. It is also the last of Tomas Hardy's tragic novels. When I first read this book, I was deeply touched by the anfractuous characters, plots and space-time structure of this masterpiece.This is a story full of tragedies. Jude Fawley is a young Wessex villager who has intellectual aspirations but had no chance to be admitted to a university all through his life. Heroine Sue is a beautiful woman with independent personality and thoughts. She looked down upon the secular and rigid religions. They fall in love with each other for their similar interests. But under the double pressure of poverty and social disapproval, their relationship deteriorates and tragedy overtakes them. Jude has no way to support his family and trapped into a dilemma. At the same time, Jude's eldest child by Arabella hangs Jude and Sue's two children. Sue was distressed by this reality, eventually succumbed to the fate and the church, left Jude and returned to Phillotson. After that, Jude begins to drink heavily and dies miserably soon after under the age of thirty. This is the main plot of the novel. When I finished reading this book, hardly can I believe in such pure love between Jude and Sue.What caused the tragedy of Jude at that period? Of course, it was because of his poverty, low status that led him no way to escape from the lowest depths of the actual social world. Jude failed in his career as well as his marriage. So Jude suffered a double blow. The novel devotes too much space to discuss the relationship between love and marriage. Generally speaking, if one has deep feelings to his spouse, they will have a perfect marriage undoubtedly. However, in Victorian age, it is not a truth in real life. It also involved with the limitation and affection of the social customs and values. Jude first lived with Arabella and then lived with Sue, while the two women has distinct personalities. Arabella is a practical woman with strong desire. In terms of personality, she is not suitable for Jude and the gap between them is enormous. While for the lack of possessiveness, Jude had sex with Arabella, and later, Arabella cheats him that she was pregnant, Jude had no choice but to got married with her. Thereupon, they started their tragic marriage with no love. Arabella doesn't care that they have love or not, what she cares is that whether it is useful for her. Once she knows that one cannot bring benefits to her, she can leave at any time. It is no wonder that she left Jude and went abroad to marry another man later. And at last, she went out of her way to let remarried with her. This is the image of Arabella.However, Sue is utterly different from Arabella, but her personality has changed a lot by suffering a lot of hard times. Previously, Sue is a well-educated, intelligent and independent girl. She has brave rebellion to the old traditional customs. For instance, she brings that little statue to her room which is not accepted by the social life then. In addition, she interacts with Jude openly regardless of the objections of school. She is so unique that Jude praised her a progressive female with V oltaire spirits. And it's a good summary for her. Nevertheless, she is not strong and powerful enough as well as Jude to struggle against the traditional Victorian values. She suffered blows one by one. Firstly, she was confined to prison by the school becauseshe escaped from her room to make appointments Jude. Then she left Phillotson and eloped with Jude to pursue her own happiness. However, she still cannot live happily with Jude ever after. She believed that all the tragedies were the punishments by God, they cannot get rid of the shackles and obstacles of fates. Both of them become the victims of the old traditions.Although in this novel, a lot of space is devoted to describing the matter of love and marriage. What is the true essence of the two notions? How to deal with the relationship between them? Is there true love in the world? These are all the matters discussed by people in all ages. While in the Victorian age, the true love between Jude and Sue is defeated by the conventions of the repressive society. At that time, people believed that it is illegal to live together before one get married with another, so Jude and Sue have trouble in finding jobs and renting house. They were so severely judged by the secular society. But now, without any trouble, we can pursue our own happiness and life patterns. And I am firmly believed that all of us can lead a happy life with the true love for that love is a rare and precious thing which can help us overcome any difficulties. Despite that we may come across some practical matters, we can get through all the obstacles by strong convictions.Although the novel use a large amount of word to describe love and marriage. The true essence is to reveal the tragedies of the lower class like Jude, whom is too powerless to struggle against the unfair society and inhumane bourgeoisie. In addition, the themes of the novel consist of enormous issues, such as the struggle of the lower class people, reveal and criticize the traditional Victorian values, and the struggle of female consciousness and so on. From Hardy's point ot view, it seems like a conflict between individuals and society. As a matter of fact, it's a clash between workers and bourgeoisie. Only when we have had solved this contradiction, can our society make big advancements in the future.The book becomes a world classic not only because of the rich connotations, but also the deep thoughts and profound themes. The author exquisitely detailed portrays the characters. A masterpiece will succeed not in plots but the implied meaning of the work though it reflected a lot of intricate relationships. So when we read a famous work, we must use patience to appreciate every line and every word carefully to understand the true essence. Just as Jude the Obscure, it needs your careful reading and tasting. Not like the popular fiction, we just enjoy the interesting plots only and do not need to consider the language structures. The more famous works you read, the more knowledge you will get. You will find it deserves all the efforts you spared sooner or later.。
