曾经有一份挚爱,漂洋过海来到我面前,那便是《简爱》。它通过简.爱与罗切斯特之间一波三折的爱情故事,塑造了一个出生低微、生活道路曲折,却始终坚持维护独立人格、追求个性自由、主张人生平等、不向人生低头的坚强女性。她所象征的女性理想和追求已超越了时空,成了人们心中的永恒。 《简爱》是一部带有自转色彩的长篇小说,它阐释了这样一个主题:人的价值=尊严+爱。 在这本书里渗透着最多的就是女性的独立意识。让我们试想一下,如果简爱的独立,早已被扼杀在寄人篱下的童年生活里;如果她没有那份独立,她早已和有妻女的罗切斯特生活在一起,开始了有金钱、有地位的新生活。如果她没有那份纯洁,我们现在手中的《简爱》也不再是令人感动的流泪的经典。为什么《简爱》让我们感动?——就是她独立的性格,令人心动的人格魅力
本书的作者夏洛蒂.勃朗特和《呼啸山庄》的作者艾米莉是姐妹,但是虽然她们生活在同一生活环境,和家庭环境中,性格却大不相同。夏洛蒂的性格比较温柔,很清纯,更加喜欢追求一些美好的东西。尽管她家境贫穷,从小得不到父母太多的关爱,再加上她容貌不美,身材也很矮小。但也许就是这样一种灵魂深处的很深的自卑,反映在她的性格上就是一种非常敏感的自尊,以自尊作为她内心深处的自卑的补偿。 她所描写的简.爱也是一个容貌不美,矮小的女人,但是她有着极强的自尊心。她坚定不移的去追求美好的生活。
简.爱生存在一个父母双亡,寄人篱下的环境,从小就承受着与同龄人不一样的待遇,姨妈的嫌弃,表姐的蔑视,表哥的侮辱和毒打......这是对一个孩子尊严的无情践踏,但也许正是因为这一切,换回了简.爱无限的信心和坚强不屈的精神,一种可战胜的内在人格力量.
她从不因为自己的一个地位低贱的家庭教师而在罗切斯特面前感到自卑,相反的,她认为他们是平等的不应该因为她是仆人,而不能受到别人的尊重.使得罗切斯特为之震撼的是她的正直,高尚,纯洁,心灵没有受到世俗社会的污染。并把她看做了一个可以和自己在精神上平等交谈的人,而慢慢地深深爱上了她。他的真心,让她感动,她接受了他.而当他们结婚的那一天,简.爱知道了罗切斯特已有妻子时,她觉得自己必须要离开,她这样讲,“我要遵从上帝颁发世人认可的法律,我要坚守住我在清醒时而不是像现在这样疯狂时所接受的原则”,“我要牢牢守住这个立场”。这是简爱告诉罗切斯特她必须离开的理由,但是从内心讲,更深一层的东西是简爱意识到自己受到了欺骗,她的自尊心受到了戏弄,因为她深爱着罗切斯特,试问哪个女人能够承受得住被自己最信任,最亲密的人所欺骗呢?简爱承受住了,而且还做出了一个非常理性的决定.在这样一种非常强大的爱情力量包围之下,在美好,富裕的生活诱惑之下,她依然要坚持自己作为个人的尊严,这是简爱最具有精神魅力的地方。
小说设计了一个很光明的结尾——虽然罗切斯特的庄园毁了,他自己也成了一个残废,但我们看到,正是这样一个条件,使简爱不再在尊严与爱之间矛盾,而同时获得满足——她在和罗切斯特结婚的时候是有尊严的,同时也是有爱的。

在这里,我看到的不仅仅是一个如何赢得了男贵族爱情的平民女子的灰姑娘的故事,而是勇敢的走出了灰姑娘的童话,迈向一个有着新女性、真女性的文学道路的起步。简·爱藐视财富,但她却认为,“真正的幸福,在于美好的精神世界和高尚纯洁的心灵”。我尊重作者对这种美好生活的理想——就是尊严+爱,毕竟在当今社会,要将人的价值=尊严+爱这道公式付之实现常常离不开金钱的帮助。人们都疯狂地似乎为了金钱和地位而淹没爱情。在穷与富之间选择富,在爱与不爱之间选择不爱。很少有人会像简这样为爱情为人格抛弃所有,而且义无反顾。《简爱》所展现给我们的正是一种化繁为简,是一种返朴归真,是一种追求全心付出的感觉,是一种不计得失的简化的感情,它犹如一杯冰水,净化每一个读者的心灵。

Jane Eyre — A Beautiful Soul
Jane Eyre, is a poor but aspiring, small in body but huge in soul, obscure but self-respecting girl. After we close the covers of the book, after having a long journey of the spirit, Jane Eyre, a marvelous figure, has left us so much to recall and to think:
We remember her goodness: for someone who lost arms and blinded in eyes, for someone who despised her for her ordinariness, and even for someone who had hurt her deeply in the past.
We remember her pursuit of justice. It’s like a companion with the goodness. But still, a virtuous person should promote the goodneon one side and must check the badneon the other side.
We 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.
We also remember her striving for life, her toughneand her confidence…
When we think of this girl, what she gave us was not a pretty face or a
transcendent temperament that make us admire deeply, but a huge charm of her personality.
Actually, she wasn’t pretty, and of course, the ordinary appearance didn’t make others feel good of her, even her own aunt felt disgusted with it. And some others even thought that she was easy to look down on and to tease, so when MiIngram met Jane Eyre, she seemed quite contemptuous, for that she was obviously much more prettier than ‘the plain and ugly governess’. But as the little governehad said: ‘Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulleand heartless? You think wrong!’ This is the idea of equality in Jane Eyre’s mind. God hadn’t given her beauty and wealth, but instead, God gave her a kind mind and a thinking brain. Her idea of equality and self-respect impreus so much and let us feel the power inside her body.
In my mind, though a person’s beauty on the face can make others once feel that one is attractive and charming, if his or her mind isn’t the same beautiful as the
appearance, such as beauty cannot last for, when others find that the beauty which had charmed them was only a falsity, it’s not true, they will like the person no 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 Kahill Gibran has said, that ‘Beauty is a heart enflamed and a soul enchanted’. I can feel that how beauty really is, as we are all fleshly men, so we can’t distinguish whether a man is of nobleneor humbleness, but fleshly men, so we can’t distinguish whether a man is of nobleneor humbleness, but as
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.
Her story makes us thinking about life and we learn much from her experience, at least, that is a fresh new recognition of the real beauty.
