son at his birth. IV. Work characteristics

People always the beautiful aspect of the fire ,but they never knew that fire was a terrible thing . It bring us happinessbut it also could give us disaster.In the novel,Rochester’mad wife set s fire and lost her life .Rochester also lost his property and eyesight in order to save her wife’life.That is to say .this fire destroyed life ,fortune and health.

In all, we an see that fire had two opposite aspects.On the one hand ,it made the world warm ,harmonious,wonderful. But on the other hand , it can destroy life ,fortune and health. In addition, Jane’s personality fire, she was kind hearted and sentimental and she also had character. Thus , it was this kind of “fire” that made her independent nd happy again. It was easy to see that throughout the story. Jane Eyre behaved strong-minded enough to her love and brave enough to seek her own independence. These are all the reflections of fire in her deep heart. Though lived in a cruel society and suffered from abuse, she never gave up, because the fire was always on in her heart which prevented her from giving into the convention.

At last,to be frank, Jane’s ideal life is the reflection of the Charlotte Bronte’s thoughts. Maybe we can say that Charlotte uses this great novels to express her feelings on the contemporary society.

After reading the novel,the image in the story may catch our attention. For instance,the fire image appeared in the story for dozens of times in different

chapters.But no matter where it was put, it had symbolic meanings in some chapters, It was the symbol of warmth and happiness ,while in other place it was the symbol of humanity and friendship, sometimes it even represented destrutive power. In the story, the fire image impressed us a lot while reading it,we could say fire is a symbol of human civilization and forcus of the social and family life.Thus, fire plays an

important role in the frame of the novel. At the ,fire was the symbol of warmth and happy family life . Jane Eyre who was a strongwilled woman, tried her best to fight for her own happiness and love as well as freedom,for example “Now,let me leave

you an instant to make a good fire?” , in this sentance we can see that rochester saw the magic power of “fire” in love ang this became a critical element to promote their .Thus, life was impartable from the fire,once the fire died out,thewould be disappearing.

Fire existed everywhere in this great novel ,when Jane and Helen were invited to dinner by Mr.Temple,the fire also plyed an important role as Janeeager to win the friendship of the others and it could make her felt warm and comfortable.Trough reading the novel ,it was easy to know that the love between Jane and Rochester was not smooth because true love should stand the test of

简爱英文读后感

who is jane eyre? as the story extends, more and more things are added to the

answer. from the beginning, we know that jane is a young orphan raised by mrs. reed,

her cruel, wealthy aunt. from her experience at the lowood school, we found jane a

plain-featured but intelligent and honest girl. her courage to fight with all the

hardships, oppression and inequality makes a deep impression on us. when she meets

rochester and st. john, jane shows us both her passion for love and her sticking to

5 / 26

her principles of justice, human dignity and morality. while we are getting to know more about jane eyre, she is also exploring herself.

when she leaves gateshead, the little girl doesn’t know what to expect in the future.

she has endured so much unfair treatment that all she desires is freedom. however,

when jane gets freedom, she finds herself yearning for new experiences, which can

change her life of loneliness and neglect. she follows her innermost feelings and

accepts a governess position at a manor called thornfield, where she falls head over

heels in love with her employer, rochester. jane eyre sets us a perfect model of inner questioning and self exploring. how

about us?

looking back on the development of jane eyre’s character, we can see clearly

the important role inner questioning and self exploring has played. “what

6 / 26

you are

you do not see, what you see is your shadow.” self-knowledge is a hard process that

everyone must go through. there are times when we are overwhelmed by all kinds of

desires and lose ourselves in the crowded world. there are times when we just follow what others are doing and abandon our own dreams. to be specific,

when asked why you are at school, how many students can honestly say that their answer

well reflects their soul?i didn’t answer grandpa. only then did i realize how little i knew about myself.

i have never before questioned myself what i really want. i thought about jane eyre.

she is always exploring and questioning herself. that is why she is able to make her

perfect life.

jane eyre gives me the strength. now it’s time for me to look into my soul to

7 / 26

see who i am and what i am longing for. i will no longer wander around, the moment

my soul answers me with her deepest voice. i will fix my eyes on the road ahead, my

own road, and keep going. i will hold my brilliant life in hand. 欢迎使用站内搜索简爱英文读后感下载如图片无法显示或论文不完整，请进 ? 上一篇文章： 老人与海英文读后感? 下一篇文章： 简爱英语读后感free as noble men篇二：简爱英文读后感 简爱英文读后感：

this is a story about a special and ueserved woman who has been exposed to a

hostile environment but continuously and fearlessly struggling for her ideal life.

the story can be interpreted as a symbol of the independent spirit. it seems to me that many readers’ english reading experience starts with jane

eyer. i am of no exception. as we refer to the movie “jane eyer”, it is not surprising

to find some differences because of its being filmized and retold in a new way, but

the spirit of the novel remains----to be an independent person, both

8 / 26

physically and

mentally. rochester and led to his moodiness all the time ----rochester was also a

despairing person in need of salvation. jane did want to give him a hand, however,

she made up her mind to leave, because she didn’t want to betray her own principles,

because she was jane eyer. the film has finally got a symbolist end: jane inherited

a large number of legacies and finally returned. after finding rochester’s misfortune

brought by his original mad wife, jane chose to stay with him forever. what’s more, this film didn’t end when jane left thornfield. for jane eyer herself,

there should always be somewhere to realize her great ideal of being independent

considering her fortitude, but for rochester, how he can get salvation?the film gives the answer tentatively: jane eventually got back to rochester.

9 / 26

in fact, when jane met rochester for the first time, she scared his horse and made his heel strained,

to a certain extent, which meant rochester would get retrieval because of jane. we

can consider rochester’s experiences as that of religion meaning. the fire by his

frantic wife was the punishment for the cynicism early in his life. after it, rochester

got the mercy of the god and the love of the woman whom he loved. here we can say:

human nature and divinity get united perfectly in order to let such a story accord

with the requirements of both two sides. the value of this film may be due to its

efforts to explore a new way for the development of humanism under the faith of

religion.

10 / 26

life is ceaselessly changing, but our living principles remain. firmly persisting

for the rights of being independent gives us enough confidence and courage, which

is like the beacon over the capriccioso sea of life. in the world of the film, we

have found the stories of ourselves, which makes us so concerned about the fate of

the dramatis personae. heart is the engine of body, brain is the resource of thought, and great films

are the mirrors of life. in dubitably, “jane eyer” is one of them.篇三：《jane eyre》简爱读后感英文版 《简·爱》

作者简介：

charlotte jane eyre bront euml; (1816-1854)

charlotte bront euml; was born 21 april 1816, third of the six children of

patrick bront euml; and maria branwell bront euml;. the major event of her

young life was the death of her mother in 1821, whichcreated a lot of chaos. in 1824,

11 / 26

charlotte and her two older sisters, maria and elizabeth, were sent to the

newly-opened cowan bridge clergy daughters school.conditions there were bad even by the standards of the time, and it was not long

before both maria and elizabeth became ill enough to be sent home, where they both

died of consumption in the spring of1825. patrick brought charlotte and her younger

sister emily, who had recently joined them at the school, back home as soon as the

other girls became ill, but charlotte in particular never forgot what the school had

been like. the surviving kids all became each others best friends. they created the kingdom

of gondal and wrote all kinds of epic stories and poems set in that realm. charlotte

and branwell were in charge of angria proper, while emily and anne (the youngest)

12 / 26

ran the neighboring kingdom of gondal.charlottes next adventure was going to school in brussels with emily in 1842.

charlottes time there was brief, less than two years, but it led to her eventual

writing of villette beginning in 1852.back home, charlotte lapsed into chronic unemployment and severe hypochondria,

actually thinking she was going blind, just like her father was. in 1846 the three

sisters published a book of poems, and though sales were very slow, the reviews were

good and spurred on further literary endeavours. charlottes novel of this time, the

professor, was actually rather bad, suffering from a less-than-believeable main

character. in august of 1846 charlotte began work on jane eyre. though it was published

in 1847, charlotte didnt tell her father about it until the next year, when the novels

success was plain.

一个敢于反抗，敢于争取自由和平等地位的妇女形象。 《简爱》英文版读后感 oliver twist, one of the most famous works of charles dickens’, is a novel

reflecting the tragic fact of the life in britain in 18th century. the author who himself was born in a poor family wrote this novel in his twenties

with a view to reveal the ugly masks of those cruel criminals and to expose the horror

and violence hidden underneath the narrow and dirty streets in london. the hero of this novel was oliver twist, an orphan, who was thrown into a world

full of poverty and crime. he suffered enormous pain, such as hunger, thirst, beating

and abuse. while reading the tragic experiences of the little oliver, i was shocked

by his sufferings. i felt for the poor boy, but at the same time i detested the evil

fagin and the brutal bill. to my relief, as was written in all the best stories, the

goodness eventually conquered devil and oliver lived a happy life in the end. one

of the plots that attracted me most is that after the theft, little oliver was

19 / 26

allowed

to recover in the kind care of mrs. maylie and rose and began a new life. he went

for walks with them, or rose read to him, and he worked hard at his lessons. he felt

as if he had left behind forever the world of crime and hardship and poverty.how can such a little boy who had already suffered oppressive affliction remain

pure in body and mind? the reason is the nature of goodness. i think it is the most

important information implied in the novel by dickens-he believed that goodness could

conquer every difficulty. although i don’t think goodness is omnipotent, yet i do

believe that those who are kind-hearted live more happily than those who are

evil-minded. for me, the nature of goodness is one of the most necessary character for a person.

20 / 26

goodness is to humans what water is to fish. he who is without goodness is an utterly

worthless person. on the contrary, as the famous saying goes, ‘the fragrance always

stays in the hand that gives the rose’, he who is with goodness undoubtedly is a happy and useful person. people receiving his help are grateful

to him and he also gets gratified from what he has done, and thus he can do good to

both the people he has helped and himself. to my disappointment, nowadays some people seem to doubt the existence of the

goodness in humanity. they look down on people’s honesty and kindness, thinking it

foolish of people to be warm-hearted. as a result, they show no sympathy to those

who are in trouble and seldom offer to help others. on the other hand, they attach

importance to money and benefit. in their opinion, money is the only real object while

21 / 26

emotions and morality are nihility. if they cannot get profit from showing their

‘kindness’, they draw back when others are faced with trouble and even hit a man

when he is down. they are one of the sorts that i really detest. francis bacon said in his essay, ‘goodness, of all virtues and dignities of the

mind, is the greatest, being the character of the deity, and without it, man is a

busy, mischievous, wretched thing, no better than a kind of vermin.’ that is to say a person without goodness is destined to lose everything. therefore,

i, a kind person, want to tell those ‘vermin-to-be’ to learn from the kind oliver

and regain the nature of goodness.篇五：简爱读后感 共有范文三篇 简爱读后感 共有范文三篇范文一：

篇三：《简爱》英文读后感

Jane Eyre in my eyes

Several years ago, when I was a little girl I have already read the novel Jane Eyre. At that time, I was attracted by the touching story. But today, after watching the movie, I was moved by Jane, the adamant, independent, brave and honest girl. Why did we say Jane was an adamant and independent girl? Let’s look at her childhood. Her parents died when she was a little girl, so she was brought up by her aunt Mrs. Reed, an acute and ruthless woman. Jane led a very bad life in her house. They treated her as badly as a ragtag. But Jane didn’t surrender. Later, she was sent to Lowood school，an orphan school. In there she didn’t get what she had been expecting——simply being regarded as a common person, just the same as any other girl around. Mr. Brocklehurste even asked Jane to stand on the chair and vilipended her in front of all the students. But Jane didn’t yielded. And her only friend Helen died, Jane was very sad, but she was not depressive all the time. Instead, she studied and worked energetically. At last, she became a teacher of logwood, and later became the family teacher of Adele. From her experience, we could found that Jane was independent; she changed her fate by herself. She suffered more than other girls at her age. She was independent both in physically

23 / 26

and mentally.

Jane was brave. She dared to say no to Mr. Brocklehurst, cut her beautiful hair with Helen, and pull the horse for Mr. Rochester. What’s more, she dared to accepted Mr. Rochester’s love and pursuit of her own happy life. Though she said:“ Do you think because I am poor, obscure, and little. I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong!—I have as much soul as you—-and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it was hard for you to leave me, as it is not for me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh; it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as it both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God’s feet,. In her opinion, everyone is the same at the God’s feet. God hadn’t given her beauty and wealth, but instead, God gave her a kind mind and a thinking brain. These words expressed complete1y Jane ’s rebellious spirit．She told him her own feeling, and emphasized that they were equal.

As we know, there was strict distinguish in social stratum at that time. Mr. Rochester was in the high society, but Jane was only a family teacher. They were in quite different social stratums. What’s worse, in that society，people’s sense of love was on the

basis of money．For the sake of money they could marry anyone even though the husband or the wife was an idiot on their eyes，

24 / 26

money was everything，money was marriage. But unfortunately Jane was very poor. That’s to say, Jane should receive much rumor from society. In fact, she didn’t afraid of it. On the contrary, she accepted with no hesitation. When she knew Rochester’s wife was dead and he was blind, she went to look after Rochester determinedly. She didn’t care about anything else. And I still remember at the party, all the people from the high society laughed at Jane, they looked down upon Jane. She kept silent though her heart was very exciting. And to their surprise, Miss Ingrain was proved to be a loser, Jane defeated her though Jane had no property and beauty．Jane’ s plainness， poverty, position and disposition were contrasted to Ingrain obviously．Jane drove away those aristocrats from competitive stage．High position and great wealth showed by noble class was put aside．Jane got glorious victory．

Jane was self-respected and self-love. When she knew Rochester had a mad wife and she was still alive. Jane left. She couldn’t bare an incomplete love. She left her lover Rochester with contradiction and pain. Though she still loved him very much. She chose another road, which was endless. She was kind and strict to the moral concept. She couldn’t accept herself do something against the morality. She was self-respect.

To sum up, Jane was a charming girl .What she attracted us was not the beautiful face, lovely figure, and sweet voice .But

her brave heart, intelligent brain and adamant character. So we didn’t surprise that Mr. Rochester chose Jane as his bride instead of Miss Ingrain. Because Jane

25 / 26

was much mature and richer in soul. As a girl, I should learn from Jane. Especially in the materialistic society we should be in charge of our own fate. Don’t depend on others all the time. We should be independent .Don’t lead a luxurious life and in hope of marring a rich man, thinking that your husband would change your fate, your social position. That’s silly. We should realize that only depend on your own struggle then you could really charge your fate. What’s more, we need to be self-respect and self-love. As far as I am concerned, as a girl if you don’t respect and love yourself, so how do you require others to respect you? In short, we need to learn from Jane Eyre.

26 / 26
