A Book Report on
The author, Charlotte Bronte, was one of the three sisters who were very famous novelists in the 19th century. Jane Eyre's plots were based on the original life of Charlotte herself, therefore creating a realistic story. The three sisters' family was poor, and their mother passed away by lung cancer when her children were still very young, and their father had to take the job of raising the whole family. The three sisters were reinforced to be educated in a charity school. Due to the unbearable state of the school, Charlotte and Emily's two sisters died, thus giving a grief pain to the sisters. To survive, three sisters went out to take part in tutors one by one, however none of them like the job, especially Charlotte. Still, the experience has given her the basics of planning the story of Jane Eyre. Finally, she gained people's attention by publishing Jane Eyre. It was a miracle. She achieved the public's attention soon the book was pressed, and she amazingly only took one year to finish it.
The book used the first person method of writing to depict Jane Eyre. The story started with a direct story about Jane being bullied by his older brother, John. The author probably wanted to give the readers a deep impression about the mishaps suffered by Jane in her youth. Then, Mr. Brocklehurst appeared, and took Jane to Lowood School. She grew up in that school, but she never liked the school of it's rigid lifestyle and a hard environment. Evidently, the mail she she sent out to look for a job has an answer. She was being asked to be a tutor in a family. This led to a turning point in her life. She met many people in the family. Like Mrs. Fairfax, Adele, the crazy woman, and most important of all, Mr. Rochester. Mr. Rochester's words and is temper is hard to guess, and he often travels around the world. But, when Mr. Rochester went back and met Jane Eyre, he did not leave again for a month. After a period of time, Mr. Rochester and Jane Eyre began to fall in love with each other, and they married. However, in the marriage, a stranger broke the progression and asserted that Mr. Rochester already had a wife and they were not divorced. According to the laws at that
time, people are not allowed to remarry if they did not break apart with his ex-wife. Indeed, the ex-wife of Mr. Rochester was the crazy woman. In fact, the real thing behind it was that Mr. Rochester was married many years ago, but he soon found out that his wife was a maniac. He felt completely distressed, and Jane Eyre was his hope. Jane felt aghast, and she left Mr. Rochester alone. She went out to other places, and ran out of food and water. She was picked up by people, and destiny brought the Jane's brothers and sisters together! Finally, she recalled her once dearest person, but it was already too late. What happened was that right after the departure of Jane, the crazy woman burned down the whole citadel and she jumped off from the roof. Mr. Rochester survived in the disaster, but his body was burnt from head to foot. Though it was truly very sad, a book can always achieve its happy ending. Jane found Mr. Rochester at last, and they shall never be apart anymore.
Jane Eyre is a poor but aspiring, small in body but huge in soul, obscure but self-respecting girl. After I close the covers of the book, after having a long journey of the spirit, Jane Eyre, a marvelous figure, has left me so much to recall and to think: I remember her pursuit of justice. It’s like a companion with the goodness. But still, a virtuous person should promote the goodness on one side and must check the badness on the other side.I remember her self-respect and the clear situation on equality. In her opinion, everyone is the same at the God’s feet. Though there are differences in status, in property and also in appearance, but all the human being are equal in personality. I also remember her striving for life, her toughness and her confidence…

《简爱》读书笔记
《简·爱》是一部以爱情为主题的,且具有浓厚浪漫主义色彩的现实主义小说。全书构思精巧,情节波澜起伏。塑造了一个心地纯洁、善于思考的女性,她生活在社会底层,受尽磨难。她的生活遭遇令人同情,但她那倔强的性格和勇于追求平等幸福的精神更为人们所赞赏。
小说主要描写了简·爱与罗契斯特的爱情。简·爱认为爱情应该建立在精神平等的基础上,而不应取决于社会地位、财富和外貌,只有男女双方彼此真正相爱,才能得到真正的幸福。在追求个人幸福时,简·爱表现出异乎寻常的纯真、朴实的思想感情和一往无前的勇气。她并没有因为自己的仆人地位而放弃对幸福的追求,她的爱情是纯洁高尚的,她对罗契斯特的财富不屑一顾,她之所以钟情于他,就是因为他能平等待人,把她视作朋友,与她坦诚相见。简·爱的纯朴、善良和独立的个性使过去看惯了上层社会的冷酷、虚伪的罗契斯特,重新唤起了对生活的追求和向往。
简·爱是个不甘忍受社会压迫、勇于追求个人幸福的女性。无论是她的贫困低下的社会地位,或是她那漂泊无依的生活遭遇,都是当时英国下层人民生活的真实写照。作者能够把一个来自社会下层的觉醒中的新女性摆到小说的主人公地位,并对主人公为反抗压迫和社会偏见、力争取独立的人格和尊严、为追求幸福生活所作的顽强斗争加以热情歌颂,这在当时的文学作品中是难能可贵的。 这部优美、动人并带有神秘色彩的小说,至今仍保持着它独特的艺术魅力。
