简爱英语读后感 2
Jane was an orphan. She lived in her aunt’s house. Her aunt didn’t like her, so she took her to an orphanage. Jane studied in the orphanage and learned a lot of things. When Jane grew up, she worked as a governess in a big family and taught the child in this family. Bit by bit, Jane and her master Mr Rochester fell in love with each other. But the master had a wife. She was a madwoman. When Jane knew this, she left her teaching post.But she could not forget her master. So, at last, she visited her master. At that time, her master’ house was burnt down and he became handicapped. His mad wife died in the big fire. Jane decided to get married with him and look after him.
Jane Eyre found his real love and she was a happy woman. The most important thing is that Jane believed everybody were equal.
In my mind, though a person’s beautiful face can make others once feel that is attractive 。if his or her mind isn’t the same beautiful as the appearance, such as beauty cannot last ， when others find that the beauty which had charmed them was only a falsity, it’s not true,they will not like the person any more. For a long time, only a person’s great virtue, a noble soul, a beautiful heart can be called as an everlsting beauty, just as Kahill Gibran had said, that ‘Beauty is a heart enflamed and a soul enchanted.There are great differences in our souls, and from that, we can know that whether a man is noble or ordinary, and even obscure, that is, whether he is beautiful or not.

I know the author from Charlotte s many things. She was born in a year of economic hardship, dogged by bad luck family; living in a far away from the dust of life in remote villages; the revolution rages, the country by farmers to industrial country transition, growing emerging era of the bourgeoisie, which gave her novelsmarked visible mark.
Unfortunately, God did not seem miserly shaped the genius. There seems to be out of the hand of doom can scarcely wait. These talented children, without exception, left the world before the golden time of his father's life. It is unfortunate that, s sister!
"Jane Eyre" in the novel, mainly through Jane. Love and the love story between the striking one snag after another in Rochester, created a low birth, the road twists and turns of life, but always adhere to maintain strong female independent personality, the pursuit of individual freedom, equality advocates of life, not to the life of the head.
Jane. Love living in a parents, living environment. Grew up under treatment with peers: the abandoned aunt, cousin of contempt, insults and beatings cousin.。.。.。 however, she did not despair, she did not self destructive, and not insult the sink. Everything has brought misfortune in exchange for it is simple. Unlimited confidence. Love is Jane. Love is firm and inflexible spirit, which can overcome the inherent personality.
From this book, it can be seen that it portrays a female image that embodies some of the demands of the new class and portrays the spirit of the times during the industrial revolution. Novel design of a very bright at the end - although Rochester's manor destroyed, he himself became a disability, but we see that it is such a condition, so that Jane is no contradiction between love and dignity, and at the same time be met when she married in Rochester and there is dignity at the same time, there is love.
The novel tells us that the best life of a man is human dignity and love. The ending of the novel gives the heroine an arrangement of such a life. Although I think such an outcome is too perfect, even such a superficial marks itself, but I still respect the ideal -- the author of this wonderful life is the dignity and love, after all, in today's society, the people's value = dignity + love this formula to pay to achieve often cannot do without the help of money. People are crazy to drown love for money and status. Choose between rich and poor, choose between love and no love. Few people will abandon everything for love, like Jane, and do not care. "Jane Eyre" show to us is a simplified, is a kind of recover the original simplicity is a dedicated pursuit, a feeling, no gain or loss is a simplified feelings, it is like a cup of water, purify every reader's heart, also cause readers, especially female readers.

简爱读后感英文 5
This is a story about a special and unreserved woman who has been exposed to a hostile environment but continuously and fearlessly struggling for her ideal life. Thestory can be interpreted as a symbol of the independent spirit.
It seems to me that many readers’ English reading experience starts with JaneEyer. 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 physically and mentally.
Jane Eyer was a born resister, whose parents went off when she was very young, and her aunt，the only relative she had，treated her as badly as a ragtag. Since Jane’s education in Lowwood Orphanage began, she didn’t get what she had been expecting——simply being regarded as a common person, just the same as any other girl around. The suffers from being humiliated and devastated teach Jane to be persevering and prize dignity over anything else.As a reward of revolting theruthless oppression, Jane got a chance to be a tutor in Thornfield Garden. There shemade the acquaintance of lovely Adele and that garden’s owner, Rochester, a man with warm heart despite a cold face outside. Jane expected to change the life from then on, but fate had decided otherwise: After Jane and Rochester fell in love with each other and got down to get marry, she unfortunately came to know in fact Rochester had got a legal wife, who seemed to be the shadow following 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 shewas Jane Eyer. The film has finally got a symbolist end: Jane inherited a largenumber of legacies and finally returned. After finding Rochester’s misfortunebrought by his original mad wife, Jane chose to stay with him forever.
I don’t know what others feel, but frankly speaking, I would rather regard thesection that Jane began her teaching job in Thornfield as the film’s end----especially when I heard Jane’s words “Never in my life have I been awaken so happily.” For one thing, this ideal and brand-new beginning of life was what Janehad been imagining for long as a suffering person; for another, this should be what the audiences with my views hoped her to get. But the professional judgment of producing films reminded me to wait for a totally different result: There must be something wrong coming with the excellence----perhaps not only should another section be added to enrich the story, but also we may see from the next transition of Jane’s life that “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you would get.” (By Forrest Gump’s mother, in the film “Forrest Gump”)
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. 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.
简爱读后感英文范文二
After reading Jane Eyre, I think Jane Eyre is a great woman. Through a serious of troublesome situations between Jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester, the author set up a great female image before readers: insisting on maintaining an independent personality, pursuing individual freedom, advocating equality of life and being confident before hard conditions.
Her early life at Gateshead was terrible, everyone seems harsh on her. She survives her parents at an early age, and has to live with her ugly aunt and three cousins. Shesuffers large quantities of bad conditions that others may not experience. However, she does not give up in despair, she does not destroy herself mentally, instead, JaneEyre is filled with unlimited confidence, and she is a strong spirit, a victory over theinner personality.
She is then forced to send to Lowood Institution, unfortunately, life there turns out to be terrible, too. She is still under physical and spiritual punishment. Mr Brocklehurst insults her to be a liar before all pupils and teachers. But there shemeets one sincere friend Helen Burns and one sincere teacher Miss Temple. They always treat her well. She then behaves very well and get many people’s recognition. Six years later, she makes a teacher there.
After two years teaching life at Lowood Institution, she plans to leave there to pursuit her own life and happiness. She was in a position of governess through a letter from Thornfield. Her life was totally changed after that. There she met a lovely girl, Adele and her master, Mr. Rochester. She has a special feeling about them. With the development of the plots, Jane Eyre succeed a large sum of money from his uncle, and through all bitter things which was caused by Rochester’s wife in Thornfield, Jane Eyre and finally get married and lead an ideal life.
I think Jane Eyre is an autobiography of Charlotte Bronte. Although the story is made up, the heroine and people's life and the environment in the story were taken from the details of real people around and experience. Charlotte Bronte described a young girl’s struggling life to express her inner thought: everyone is equal regardless of his or her gender. The uniqueness of Jane Eyre is not only lies in its truth and the strong artistic appeal, but also lies in the particular female image. Thelove story of Rochester and Jane Eyre vividly shows the fire of passion and sincereheart strongly reveals their notions of love. She looks down upon the upper class who only use their power to do what they intend to do and laughs at their stupid to show her independent character and beauty dream.
In the actual fact, she wasn’t pretty, even herself knows that, and of course, theordinary appearance make others have bad opinion on her, even her own aunt dislike her. And some others even thought that she was easy to look down upon and tease, but she was totally much more than “the plain and ugly tutor”。 And as a little governess she said to her master: “Do you think my poor, obscure, plain, and little has led me to be a soulless and heartless person? You have done a wrong thing!”Underneath these lines sees the equality of human in Jane Eyre’s mind. She has affection towards her master, Mr. Rochester, but when she finds that he has already had a wife, she leaves him and her love place without consideration. Although God did not grant her a beauty and wealth person, instead, God gave her a kind mind and a thoughtful brain. Her idea of equality and self-respect impressed us extremely much and make us feel the power inside her small body.
In my mind, a person’s beauty on the face can only make others feel that he or sheis attractive or charming, if his or her mind isn’t the same noble as the appearance, beauty of this kind cannot last for a long time, because other people will one day find that the beauty which had charmed them was only a superficial one, it’s not sincere, they will not like the person any more. For a long time, only a person’s great virtue, a noble soul, a beautiful heart can be called as an everlasting beauty, just as Albert Einstein said: “A person must be held accountable for their biological survival or all of the meaning or purpose, from an objective point of view, I think it is ridiculous. Everyone can have a certain ideal, which determines the ideal and his efforts to determine the direction. In this sense, I never easy and the enjoyment of life as an end in itself, the ethical basis of this, I call it the ideal pigsty. I lit up theroad, and continue to give me new courage to face up to the pleasure of the ideal life is good and the beautiful and true. If it were not for like-minded between thewarm feelings, but focus on the objective world, the arts and sciences in the field of work will never reach the target, and then it seems to me that life would be empty. There are efforts to pursue the goal of the vulgar - property, vanity, luxury living, I think it is despicable.”
Now I get a better understanding of what real beauty is, as we are all human-beings, so we should distinguish whether a man is noble or vulgar.
Jane Eyre’s story makes me thinking about our future life and I learn much from her experiences, I know everyone will have a better tomorrow if one holds his beliefs, regardless of one’s status and the situation he is in.

《Jane Eyre》 is a novel with a propensity for autobiography. Its writer, Charlotte Bronte,was born in a poor and calamitous family. They lived in a remote and backward place. It was when the revolution was in progress. The country was changing from agriculture to industry and the newly emerging bourgeoisie were expanding. These all left marks in the novel. The novel mainly describes the complicated love story between Jane Eyre and Rochester to portray a strong woman who was born humbly and lived difficultly but always persist to uphold her independent personality and pursue free individuality and advocate the equality of human life. Jane Eyre lived under another’s roof with her parents both dead. She bore different treatment form contemporaries’: Aunt’s disliking and avoiding her; cousins’ disdain, insult and beating. However, she was not desperate or didn’t destroy herself or sink into those insults. All of the misfortunes bring Jane infinite confidence, sturdy spirit and a kind of inside personality strength which can’t be defeated.
When facing Rochester, Jane never feel herself inferior because of she was a humble family teacher. She thought they were equal and she shouldn’t be disrespected because she was a servant. It was her being upright, noble, and pure that made Rochester get shocked and regard her as one can talk equally with himself in spirit. And he fell in love with her gradually. His true heart moved her and she accepted him. But when Jane
knew Rochester had a wife already, she decided she must leave. She felt her pride was hurt since she loved Rochester deeply. And she made a pretty rational decision. When there was a strong power of love and a allure of nice and wealthy life, she still insist on her individual pride. This is what reflected Jane’s spirit glamour most.

So he throws himself on the ground, closes his eyes, and pretends to be dead. " The bear will think I'm dead," he thinks to himself.
Soon the bear comes up to the fat man, and even puts its nose to his mouth and ears. The fat man holds his breath.
The bear thinks he is dead, so it goes away, because bears never touch the dead. The man in the tree comes down. With a smile he asks his friend, " The bear puts its nose so close to your ears. What does it say to you?"
The friend answers, " The bear says, ' Don't trust your friend. He runs away from you when you need his help most."

《简爱》英文读后感 12
由于这本书读了很长时间了，作者的简介大致都以忘却。但这本书的内容，主人公那种顽强不屈的精神给我留下了深刻的印象。下面我就写一些随感性的东西吧！――题记
说实话，在我读过的书中，大多在脑海中不会留下太多的痕迹。但是，有这样一本书，只要一打开，便会摆脱了书那种单纯的形式，使之融入到你的生命，恰似一朵美丽的花，即使凋谢了，记忆中仍久久的萦绕着它的芬芳。《简爱》就是这样一朵美丽的花。至少我是这�
第一次读《简·爱》，首先吸引我的是它的名字。我之所以欣赏这个译本，是因为我始终觉得真爱、挚爱都是简单、单纯的，他不带有任何的私心杂念，《简·爱》所宣扬的正是这样的爱，其精神性多于物质性，我特别欣赏男女主人公那种简简单单的爱恋，简和罗彻斯特除了默默深爱着对方，想拥有对方的。灵魂外，没有太多地考虑，他们没有什么山盟海誓，也没有任何的甜言蜜语，或许我更愿意用朴实来形容里面的内容，来形容他们的感情，用一个最普通的比喻，一切的一切就好似一本白开水，就好似农夫山泉，让人感觉有点甜。
最吸引我的还是简那种始终追求个人的独立性的精神，哪怕是面对罗彻斯特如幻如神的爱情之箭，她仍旧如意的保持着自己追求平等独立的人格魅力。也许这种魅力使简这个人物深入人心，变得高大。可是现实中的她矮小、苍白，一点也不美。可以说是平凡的不能再平凡，普通得不能再普通，但她身上的那种气质，那种为争得自己尊严，争得人格平等的永不服输的精神是任何人都无法比拟的。
每当夜深人静的时候，我总会独自一人拿出《简·爱》细细体会主人公之间的精神对白，沉浸在他富有诗意和哲理的抒情话语中：“上帝没有赐予我美丽和财富，但我们是平等的，就像我们的领会通过坟墓评定的站在上帝面前。”不知为什么，我特别喜欢这句话。
一直都幻想着自己能迎来一种爱，如简和罗彻斯特一样冲破年龄、财富和地位的障碍，可以超越时空达到心灵感应。简，最终以坚强的品质，出众的才华赢得了幸福，更树立了自己高大的形象：自尊、自爱、自强。
读完这本书，相貌平凡得我心中仿佛增加了一份信心，因为它是我懂得内涵的丰富胜过外表的美丽。

Almost all women love foreign literature,like D Charlotte's "in love"。If we think that Charlotte is only just to write this section of tangled up love to write "love"。I think,sorry,that's not correct.The author also is a female,living in turbulent England in the middle of the nineteenth Century,when the thoughts have a brand new start.And in "Jane love" in infiltration is the largest such thoughts -- women's sense of independence.Let us imagine,if Jane love independent,has been killed in his childhood; if she did not share the independent,she already and wife Rochester to live together,began to have money,a new life; if she is not that the purity,we are now in the hands of "Jane love" is no longer a touching tears classic.So,I began to think,why "Jane love" let us be moved,fondle admiringly -- she is independent personality,beckoning personality charm.
However,we can't help wanting to ask,only this step can be independent?I think I won't.After all,women's independence is a long-term process,not acplish at one stroke.It needs a thorough courage,love was like Jane decided to leave Rochester,need "wind rustling Xi the Yi River is so cold,strong earth to did not return" heroic and courage.I think,this should be the most crucial one step,also should be the decisive step towards independence.And Charlotte's Jane love but her stubborn disposition,independent personality left us a moved.So she is successful,happy women.
Jane love has as an independent women's classic,I hope the sun,the flowers more Jane love out,whether poor or rich,； whether beauty,or homely,have good heart and enrich the mind,can the independent personality and strong character life.

"Jane Eyre" is the history of British literature as a classic masterpieces, it successfully portrays the history of British literature in the first to love, life, society and religion are independent and proactive attitude and dare to struggle, dare to fight for freedom and equality of the female image.
A love foreign literary works of women, love to read Charlotte's "Jane Eyre"。 If we think that Charlotte is only just to write this romantic love to write "Jane Eyre"。 I think that is wrong. The author is also a woman living in turbulent England in the middle of the nineteenth Century, when the thoughts have a new beginning. The most penetration is this thought -- women in "Jane Eyre" in the sense of independence. Let us imagine if Jane's independence has long been strangled in Jirenlixia childhood life; if she does not have the independence, she had and his wife and daughter live together in Rochester start, money, and status of new life; if she does not share of purity, we are now in the hands of "Jane Eyre" is no longer impressive classic tears. So, I started to think, why "Jane Eyre" touched us, love Do not move, is her independent personality and exciting personality.
However, we must ask, only this step can be independent: I think not. After all, women's independence is a long-term process, not overnight. It needs a thorough courage, like Jane then decided to leave Rochester, "the wind rustling Xi Zhuang earth went to the Yi River is so cold, did not return" bold and daring. I think this should be the most important step, it should be a decisive step towards independence. And Charlotte's Jane Eyre but her stubborn disposition, independent personality left us a moving. So she is successful and happy the female.
简爱英文读后感 15
Charlotte Brontes Jane Eyre
Jane Eyre was published in 1847 under the androgynous pseudonym of “Currer Bell.” The publication was followed by widespread success. Utilizing two literary traditions, the Bildungsroman and the Gothic novel, Jane Eyre is a powerful narrative with profound themes concerning genders, family, passion, and identity. It is unambiguously one of the most celebrated novels in British literature.
Born in 1816, Charlotte Bronte was the third daughter of Patrick Bronte, an ambitious and intelligent clergyman. According to Newsman, all the Bronte children were unusually precocious and almost ferociously intelligent, and their informal and unorthodox educations under their fathers tutelage nurtured these traits. Patrick Bronte shared his interests in literature with his children, toward whom he behaved as though they were his intellectual equals. The Bronte children read voraciously. Charlottes imagination was especially fired by the poetry of Byron, whose brooding heroes served as the prototypes for characters in the Brontes juvenile writings as well as for such figures as Mr. Rochester in Jane Eyre (2)。 Brontes formal education was limited and sporadic – ten months at the age of 8 at Cowan Bridge Clergy Daughters School (the model for Lowood Institution in Jane Eyre)， eighteen months from the age of 14 at Roe Head School of Miss Margaret Wooler (the model for Ms. Temple) (Nestor 3-4
)。 According to Newman, Bronte then worked as a teacher at Roe Head for three years before going to work as a governess. Seeking an alternative way of earning money, Charlotte Bronte went to Brussels in 1842 to study French and German at the Pensionnat Heger, preparing herself to open a school at the parsonage. She seems to have fallen in love with her charismatic teacher, Constantin Heger. The experience seems on a probable source for a recurrent feature in Brontes fiction: “relationships in which the inflammatory spark of intellectual energy ignites an erotic attraction between a woman and a more socially powerful man” (Newman 6)。 The Brontes efforts to establish a school at the parsonage never got off the ground. Still seeking ways to make money, Charlotte published, with her sisters, the unsuccessful Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell. Her first effort to publish a novel, The Professor, was also unsuccessful. Jane Eyre, published in October 1847, however, was met with great enth
usiasm and became one of the best sellers. As “Currer Bell” Bronte pleted two more novels, Shirley and Villette. She married Reverend William Bell Nicholls in 1854 and died nine months later, at the age of thirty-nine in 1855 (Nestor 4-5)。
The story of Jane Eyre takes place in northern England in the early to mid-19th Century. （“Jane Eyre” 151） It starts as the ten-year-old Jane, a plain but unyielding child, is excluded by her Aunt Reed from the domestic circle around the hearth and bullied by her handsome but unpleasant cousins. Under the suggestion of Mr. Lloyd, an apothecary that sympathizes Jane, Mrs. Reed sends Jane to Lowood Institution operated by a hypocritical Evangelicalist, Mr. Brocklehurst, who chastises Jane in front of the class and calls her a liar. At Lowood, Jane befriends with Helen Burns, who helps the newly arrived Jane adjust to the austere environment; she is also taken under the wing of the superintendent, Miss Temple. One spring, many students catch typhus due to the harsh condition. Helen dies of consumption. At the end of her studies Jane is retained as a teacher. When Jane grows weary of her life at Lowood, she advertises for a position as governess and is engaged by Mrs. Fairfax, housekeeper at Thron
field, for a little girl, Adele Varens. After much waiting, Jane meets her employer, Edward Rochester, somber, moody, quick to change in his manner, and brusque in his speech. Mysterious happenings occur at Thronfield, including demonic laugh emanating from the third-story attic and a fire set in Rochesters bedroom one night. Rochester attributes all the oddities to Grace Poole, the seamstress. Meanwhile, Jane develops an attraction for Rochester. Rochester, however, often flirts with the idea of marrying Miss Ingram. An old acquaintance of Rochesters, Richard Mason, visits Thornfield and is severely injured from an attack apparently from Grace. Jane returns to Gateshead for a while to see the dying Mrs. Reed. When she returns to Thornfield, Rochester asks Jane to marry him. Jane accepts, but during the wedding, Mason and a solicitor interrupt the ceremony by revealing that Rochester is keeping his lunatic wife, Bertha Mason, in the attic in Thornfield. Despite Rochesters confession, J ane leaves Thornfield. She arrives at the desolate crossroads of Whitcross and runs into the Rivers siblings, who tend her in Moor House. Jane happily accepts the offer of teaching at St. Johns school.

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 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.
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 。Buther 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 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.
