Background of Jane Eyre

Jane Eyre is the masterpiece of Charlotte Bronte, an English woman author in 19th century. The works possess romanticism and realism. It is also thought that this book is author’s autobiography.

Introduction of Jane Eyre

Jane was a pure and thinkable woman, who lived in substrata of society and struck with life. But she was fractious and the sprite of perusing happiness. The works sing the love respecting each other and break away from conman customs and preoccupation. The most successful of this book is to figure a female image who dared to gainst and try for liberte and egalite.

Characteristics of characters

Jane Eyre 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. She had a terrible childhood but it’s not affected her future because she is poor but aspiring, small in body but huge in soul, obscure but self-respecting girl.

Jane was also a thinkable woman in her love, she thought love is equal, free and respecting, so she gain a happy ending with beautiful personality.

My thoughts of Jane Eyre

Jane owns goodness for her lover, Rochester, who lost arms and eyes, and also for someone who had hurt her.

Jane owns pursuit for justice; it helps her to promote goodness on one side and check the badness on the other side.

Jane owns self-respect and clear situation on equality. Also her life experience is hardships, but she never underrates herself. She thinks everyone is the same. She has the right to gain happiness through hardworking.

Jane owns toughness, confidence and striving for life……

She is not beautiful and wealthy and very normal in conman’s mind. But in my opinion, the beauty on the face is not important than in the heart because the beauty of heart could live forever but not the beauty of face.

So, to me or to all girls in the world, we needn’t inferiority and complaint with ourselves if we don’t have beauty and wealth because the true happiness is not gained by the tow things. Actually, we should learn to be a person who is like Jane, how fearless woman.

第二篇：《简爱》读书笔记

《简爱》读书笔记

我一直在坚信一个坚强,固执的人一定会拥有一双美丽出色的眼睛，在读《简爱.》这本书时我一直在想象中简爱美丽动人的眼睛，我一直在想这样的一位女子到底需要什么样的眼睛才能配得上她。 简爱从小失去了父母，寄养在舅舅的家里，当舅舅去世后，她受到舅妈的虐待，表哥的侮辱与毒打，当她的舅母要把她送到罗沃德孤儿院时，她没有任何犹豫就答应了，他以为她将会来到一个美丽的地方，在那里她会受到人们的最终与爱护，结交到自己的好朋友，她单纯的以为如果别人会爱护她疼她，就算折断自己的胳臂她也在所不辞。可是，他没有想到院长是位道貌岸然的家伙，她只不过是走进了另外一所监狱。在孤儿院她被认为是魔鬼的孩子，可是她是善良的，在孤儿院小小的孤单的海伦成为了她的好朋友。可是在院长的吝啬下海伦也离开了她。

简爱在孤儿院生活了10年，在这十年当中，院长并没有磨平她的尖锐与执着，当她毕业以后并没有服从学校的安排，她想要离开厌恶的学校，去看看外面的世界，所以她离开了，开始了他的新生活。

一直都呆在学校里的她，并没有太多的社会经验，仅仅凭着对社会的美好憧憬走进了社会，也许命运对他是好的，刚开始她就找到了一份不错的工作，在罗彻斯特先生家里当家庭教师。她拥有了一份安定的生活，他与罗彻斯特先生的见面是戏剧化的，就像罗彻斯特所说的那样，你就像是一位妖精那样闯进了我的生活，让我不能自拔。在你慢慢的相处中，简爱对罗彻斯特先生产生了感情，她发现罗彻斯特先生是位内热外冷的人，她想要带给他温暖。后来，简爱又救了罗彻斯特先生的性命，罗彻斯特先生也慢慢地喜欢上了她。可是在那样阶级分明的社会里这样的她却没有自信站在他的身边。当罗彻斯特先生把他的情人带回家时，她再也无法忍受想要离开，这时，罗彻斯特先生终于向她表明爱意。当他们准备结婚时，在婚礼上，梅森出现了，他控诉罗彻斯特先生有妻子，当简爱知道他有一位妻子时，她离开了他。

简爱离开以后回到了舅妈家，这时的舅妈已瘫痪在床，当她再次收到罗彻斯特先生的信时，她忍受不住1自己的思念，回到了罗彻斯特先生的家中，此时的他在大火中失去了光明，但是这样她却更加坚定了留在他身边的意志，最后他们快乐的生活在了一起。

《简爱》也许是它的作者夏洛蒂·勃朗特的真实写照吧，夏洛蒂·弗朗特，也是这样的一位女人，她虽然不漂亮，没有显赫的身世，虽然有些自卑，但是却没有向社会低头。她坚定不移的去追求自己想要的东西，一切美好的事物。《简爱》让我对爱情充满了幻想，对生活充满了信心，她让我看到了人世间的纯洁，就像那双美丽的大眼睛。

夏洛蒂·弗朗特创作《简爱》是在英国宪章运动之后，当时的资产阶级矛盾激化，压迫和歧视充满社会的各个角落，而她在此时塑造了简爱的形象就是要想使人证明社会上仍然存在着圣洁与美好1.
