读书笔记：《简·爱》

翻开这本书，刚翻了几页，就被简爱的悲惨童年所感染。看着她一步一步地成长，命运一次又一次地考验她。从舅父家到孤儿院，再到好朋友的离世，小小而单薄的身躯，承受了多少，挺过了多少，还好最终幸福的结局，总算是让我的心真真的松了一口气，我的心也跨越了时空，对她真心的祝福。

简爱，一个穷牧师家庭的平凡的女孩，命运却因父母在一个月中相继逝世于伤寒，而变得不再平凡。她身材瘦小，相貌平凡，无金钱，无地位，但是却有着自己独有的气质与感情世界。在舅父家，她不会在表兄的残暴面前甘心被褥，她为了自己的权利不断奋斗，结果尽管依旧是残酷的，但她却从不低头。在孤儿院，冷酷似魔鬼的布洛克尔赫斯先生的折磨，她依旧扛了过来。

当我读到海伦就这样离去的时候，我也感受到了悲伤。悲伤的不止是她生在那样一个时代和环境，也为她和简爱一样的悲惨而心痛，还有简爱就这样失去了自己最好的朋友。读到这里，平复了心情之后，我才敢继续翻开书。

山重水复疑无路，柳暗花明又一村。简爱的命运从这里开始，总算有了起色。从她开始做家庭教师开始，我就有种感觉，感觉她的日子不会再像以前那样悲剧了。

总算，我们的男主角罗切斯特现身了，这个给简爱的第一映像是性格忧郁、喜怒无常的人，还是和我们的女主角相爱了。

“‘我跟你说，我一定得离开！’我有些被惹火了，反驳说，‘你以为我会留下来，成为一个在你眼里可有可无的人吗？你以为我是一架机器————一架冷漠无感情的机器吗？你以为我能受得了别人把我仅有的一片面包从我口里夺走，把仅有的一滴救命之水从我杯里泼掉吗？你以为，因为我贫穷、卑微、不美、矮小，我就没有灵魂，没有心吗？————你错了，我也有和你一样的灵魂，和你一样的一颗心！如果上帝曾给了我一点儿美丽丰富财产，我也会让你感到难以离开我，就像我现在难以离开你一样。我现在不是通过习俗、常规，甚至也不是通过凡人的血肉之躯跟你讲话————而是用我的心灵在跟你的心灵对话，就如同我们离开了尘世，穿过坟墓，一同平等地站在上帝的面前，我们彼此平等————就如同我们的本质一样。’”

“‘就如同我们的本质一样！’罗切斯特先生重复了一句，———‘就这样，’他又补充了一句，将我一把抱住，紧紧拥入怀中，将他的唇紧紧贴住我的唇，说：‘就这样，简！’”

“我从未见过像你这么好的人。简，你让我迷恋，你让我为你倾倒——你看来温柔驯服，我把那柔软的丝线绕到我的手指上时，它引起我一阵快感，沿着胳臂，一直传到我的内心深处。于是，我受到了感染，——我被征服了；而这种感染使我觉得甜蜜无比，我所经历的这种征服似乎有一种魔力，让我觉得比以前的任何胜利都迷人。”

“我爱你，如果有一天，我化作一杯黄土，这黄土上长出的春草也是为你而绿，这黄土上开出的花朵也是为你而艳。”

“天上有多少，星光世间有多少女孩，但天上只有一个月亮，世间只有一个你。”

两人就这样相爱了，以至于我竟然有点没看懂之间的过程，这个过程太快。从他们相识到相爱，这段也许要多看几次才能领悟其中过程。但可以看出，两人的真心，以及那般的刻骨铭心。

“谁要责怪我，他可以责怪，可我还是要说。有时候，我独自一人在庭院里散步，有时候，我走到大门口，朝门外的大路望去，或者趁阿黛尔和保姆玩耍，费尔法克斯太太在贮藏室里做果冻时，我爬上三道楼梯，推开阁楼的活门，来到铅皮屋顶上，极目眺望僻静的田野

和山岗，眺望着朦胧的天际。每当这种时候，我总是渴望我的目力能够超越那个极限，看到繁华的世界，看到我曾听说却从未见过的充满生机的城镇和地区。每当这种时候，我总是企盼自己能有比现在更多的人生阅历，能跟比这儿更多地和我同样的人交往，能结识更多不同性格的人。我珍视费尔法克斯太太身上的优点，我珍视阿黛尔身上的优点，但我相信世界上还有另外的更加鲜明突出的优点，我希望能亲眼见到我相信存在的东西。

谁责怪我呢？毫无疑问，一定会有很多人。他们会说我不知足。我没有办法。我生性就不安分，有时候这使我非常苦恼。这时，我唯一的安慰是独自一人在三楼的走廊里来回踱步，安然地待在这儿的幽静和孤寂之中，任凭自己心灵的眼睛注视着面前升起的清晰的幻象----不用说，幻象是既多又灿烂夺目的；可以听任自己的心因欢乐的活动而起伏，因骚动纷扰而激昂不已，因充满活力而舒展开怀。而最最美好的是，可以听任我的心灵的耳朵倾听一个永远不会结束的故事----这是个由我的想像不断创造和叙述出来的故事，我渴望经历但在我的实际生活中并不存在的事件、生活、激情和感受，使这个故事变得非常生动有趣。说什么人应该满足于平静的生活，说这话是白费力气。他们必须有行动，即使找不到行动的机会，他们也会创造它。千百万人注定要处在比我更加死气沉沉的困境中，而千百万人在默默的反抗自己的命运。

谁也不知道，在这大千世界的芸芸众生中，除了政治反叛以外，还酝酿着多少其他的反叛。通常认为女人是非常安静的，可是女人也有着和男人一样的感情。她们像她们的兄弟一样，也要施展自己的才能，也要有她们的用武之地。她们对过于严厉的束缚，对过于绝对的停滞，也会说什么她们应该只限于做做布丁，织织袜子，弹弹钢琴，绣绣钱包，那他们的胸襟未免太狭窄了。要是她们想要超出习俗许可的女性范围，去做更多的事情，去学更多的东西，他们因而就谴责她们，嘲笑她们，那他们也未免太没有头脑了。”

这一段，简爱的独立性、独特性展露无遗，这正是她与那个时代的女性所不同的地方。两性之间是平等的，女子必须有独立的人格，自尊自爱，不依附于其他人才可以赢得别人的尊重和热爱，才会有真正的幸福。爱情须以平等和互相独立作为基础，不是一味地接受对方的给予。

简爱在得知了罗切斯特15年前已经结婚的时候，她毅然选择了离开罗切斯特。尽管这个时候罗切斯特富有，但是她依然决然地离开了他。而在当今的现实世界里，人们都疯狂的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个体的人格尊严抛弃所有，而且义无反顾。也许当人们穷得只剩下钱时，他们会去追求“真爱“。在简爱的身上时刻闪现着一种独立人格的壮美与崇高。

“我不是只鸟，也没有关在笼中。我是自由的，我有自己的独立意志，下定决心走开。”

这是简爱的原话，一个拥有自由意识的女人的独立思想。这种坚强与独立，已经相当于思想解放的现代女性了。而且，简爱还有最让人动容的是，她无视于罗切斯特的财富，她在乎的，是那颗真正爱她的心，以及伦理道德。我们在追求物质生活的时候，应该在生活中灌注一些真情和温情，追求一份本真的温馨、和谐和宽容。让我们也追求全心付出的感觉，不计得失的简化的感情。纯净的像一杯水，缓缓地洒落人间。

在我们都以为简要得到自己幸福的时候，命运却又给她来了个巨大的转折。她开始了风餐露宿，沿途乞讨的生活。历经磨难，终于在泽地房被牧师圣约翰收留，并得以在当地的一所小学任教。圣约翰是个狂热的教徒，打算去印度传教。他请求简嫁给他并和他同去印度，但理由只是简爱适合做一位传教士的妻子。简拒绝了他，并决定再看看罗切斯特。她回到桑菲尔德庄园，那座宅子已成废墟，疯女人放火后坠楼身亡，罗切斯特也受伤致残（失去一只

胳膊，一只眼睛）。简找到他并大受震动，最终和他结了婚，得到了自己理想的幸福生活。

看着结尾，有点悲剧版的童话色彩，但仍然让人们为他俩祝福。简爱就是一个童话，她让我们相信，拥有了独立人格并可以自尊、自爱、自立、自信的女子，即使是一株野百合，也会有自己的骄傲，也会找到属于自己的永远的春天。

小说结尾是以圣约翰的信中所说“阿门。主耶稣啊，我愿你来！”

简单而宁静。

第二篇：《简爱》读书笔记Jane Eyre

The Submissive Aspect in Jane EyreJane 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.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 nobleness or humbleness, but fleshly men, so we can’t distinguish whether a man is of nobleness or 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.Jane Eyre is a touching story of a strong lady, Jane Eyre. She lost her parents when she was still an infant. After spending a painful time at her aunt’s house and a school whose rules were too rigid for a child, she became an tutor at Thornfield and felt in love with her boss—Mr. Rochester. However, she was not able to marry him for he already had a wife, who was a bulky and crazy. The desperate Jane left him and accidentally found her cousins and inherited her uncle’s legacy. She shared the money with her cousins. When she found out her love, Mr. Rochester was blind she decisively went back to him.Every human being can find his reflection in Jane Eyre. She was not pretty, not brilliant, not wealthy and had no family. Similarly we were all born with some defects or other. In other words, we are all bound to face these imperfections of life and we all need the strength to live with them. Sometimes we need some role models to warm our hearts and light our paths. Jane Eyre is one. However gloomy her days were she never lost her dignity nor did she give herself up. So when we lose hope or complain about the imperfections of life we can always get some guidance and reassurance from Jane.I would also like to point out another thing I admire about Jane. Wealth could never affect her peace of mind. She was not overwhelmed by the joy of getting a large amount of money from his uncle. She generous

ly shared it with her cousins. When Rochester was blind and lost his big house Jane immediately came to his help and comforted him. Her love was generous and pure, like the spring sun reviving the desert in Rochester’s heart. Money is just an additional bonus of life. It is a tool, a means but never the main tune of life. Only love can be the reason of life. Only love can heal the broken hearts and carry the desperate ones through the gloomy days.Jane Eyre is part of me and is now residing in my heart. She will give me strength and power when I am depressed.Jane Eyre is a novel written by Charlotte Bronte, an English woman novelist in the 19th century. This story is set in England in the 19th century. It starts with the ill-treatment that the heroine Jane Eyre gets in her aunt’s family and her rebellious actions towards it. The story goes on with her experience in a cruel and inhumane charitable institution “Lowood”, where she suffers coldness and starvation and witnesses death, but luckily gains knowledge. After eight years’ training in Lowood, six as a student and two as a teacher, Jane leaves Lowood and seeks a position as a governess in Thornfield. It is in Thornfield that she meets her future husband, Edward Rochester, but on their wedding day Edward is proved to be a married man. In facing this situation, Jane leaves Edward. But later, when Edward’s wife dies and Edward is disabled, Jane returns to Edward and takes the responsibility to look after him. In the end, they get married and live a happy life.In this novel, Jane Eyre is depicted as a woman rebelling against convention. This can be clearly seen in her relationship with Edward Rochester. When she finds that she has fallen in love with Edward, a man at her father’s age, she bravely expresses her love rather than cowers back, not letting age become the barrier of love. When she receives her master’s love, she refuses those easily-obtained fortune or wealth but insists on being a governess all the same and earning her own living, holding the belief that a woman should be independent in a family. Although in this novel, Charlotte does successfully create such an unconventional woman, the unconventionality is not thorough, because the submissive aspects in Jane’s character can still be seen.First of all, she succumbs to people’s opinions on women’s appearance. She sticks to the belief that beauty is indispensable in forming a perfect lady. Being a plain-looking girl, Jane has a strong inferiority complex about her look, even when she becomes a well-educated lady. When living in her aunt’s family, she attributes her dislike by the family partly to her plain appearance. She mentions that if she was handsome, her aunt would endure her presence more complacently; her cousins would entertain for her more of the cordiality of fellow-feeling; the servants would be less prone to make her the scapegoat of the nursery. When being a governess in Thornfield

and seeing Miss Ingram, she feels incompetence to win Edward’s love against such a beautiful lady at first sight. Then in the party, she carefully observes Miss Ingram and Edward, and in her mind strongly expresses the feeling that they don’t truly love each other and Miss Ingram doesn’t suit Edward in personality. As to this point, it shows Jane’s jealousy about Miss Ingram’s beauty. She seems to declare that if she has beauty, she can no doubt win Edward’s love. And this can be further proved in her later declaration of love to Edward. She says that: if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you.In addition, she gives in to the traditional emphasis on women’s chastity. On the wedding day of Jane and Edward, Jane surprisingly knows that Edward has a living wife. Though she witnesses the insanity of his wife and realizes the hard life that Edward lived with such a mad woman, she refuses to marry him in that situation. Regardless of Edward’s confess and entreaty, Jane leaves him. If Jane was thoroughly unconventional, she could accept Edward’s love and becomes a mistress and then lives a carefree life with her beloved Edward, but she doesn't do this. She can’t accept being a mistress. As a woman, she regards legal marriage status the precondition in the combination of a man and a woman.Last but not least, she bends her knee to God. In this story, God always appears when Jane can’t make her decision, and each time she chooses to follow the God’s direction. When Jane is deep in dilemma whether to stay or leave after the cancellation of the wedding ceremony, it is the God’s voice that ultimately leads her leaving Edward. Later in the moor house, she submits herself to St. John, a devotional God admirer, doing many harsh tasks and trying her best to meet his requirements, though these are not favorable to her. After St. John proposes to Jane several times, Jane is bewildered. She can’t decide whether to live in England to keep her love for Edward or follow St. John to a far-away place to do divine missions. At this time, she asks a favor from God. If she didn't hear Edward’s call, most probably she would follow St. John to fulfill God’s mission as long as life endures if God directs her to do so.Jane Eyre is one of my favorite books. In this novel, Charlotte creates a successful woman character: Jane Eyre. She is self-respecting and independent, but also has the submissive aspects as a woman. If you are interested in people of such characteristics, this book is a good choice for you to consider.I think Jane Eyre is an excellent novel and I bellieve it is read and enjoyed by many people even today. The whole story is narrated by Jane in past-tense. In this way we can observe the heroine’s inside world clearly.Jane is certainly a classic model of brilliant woman in the Victorian Era. Charlotte created suc

h a character with simple words and sentences. Just compare her name “Jane” with those noble lady’s name-“ Georgiana”, “Blanche”, “Rosemond”-and you will know that she was plain in features but strong in character. I gain much courage from her as she struggled with her fate all the time. She had never surrendered to bad circumstances and always sought for true love and independence. I think the most moving scene in the story is when the secret was revealed and Jane decided to leave Rochester. What a strong determination did she have that she abandoned all she had including her true love to maintain her principles!In this novel, Charlotte criticized the Victorian assumptions about gender and social class. It has also raised questions on other subjects such as religion, gender relations, etc. Some critics have pointed out that there are too many coincidences in the story that it is nearly unbelievable. But all in all it is a good novel. Book Report of Jane Eyre 2009-10-18 17:24I have read a book called Jane Eyre. It has 274 pages. The book was wrote in 1846, and it’s the second novel of Charlotte Bronte. It was first published in autumn, 1847. Although the story is fictional, the life of the heroine and other peolple are based on the author or other people’s real life. It is said that, the book made a hit in the literary world when it first came into being. More than 100 famous scholars recommended this book together. Many peolple love it very much. The auther of the book, Charlotte Bronte, was born in Yorkshire, England. She had four sisters and a brother. The two younger sisters are also writers, and they’ve been called “Bronte Sisters”. Bronte’s mother died early, so their life were hard. But their father was knowledgeable, he often tought them read books. So Charlotte had great interesting in literature since she was young. In August, 1824, she was sent to a boarding school with her two sisters. The Lowood school in Jane Eyre was based on this shhool, and the lovely Helen was based on her older sisiter Maria. The physical conditions of the school were hard, it do harm to Charlotte’s health. After returning home, Charlotte learn music, painting, and writing with her sisters. When she was 14, she has wrote many novels, poems and plays. In the following years, she went to school and be a teacher after gratuation. In 1839 and 1841, she tried to be a tutor. But the job was discriminated at that time. She can’t bear that. Then she wanted to start a school with her sisters, but it also failed. She still had faith in writing. In antumn 1845, she published a book of poems. But only two of the books had been sold. The difficulty didn’t made them give up. The tried novels for a change. They sent their novels tigether. Two months later, Wuthering Heights by Emily and Agnes Grey by Anne, was accepted, but Charlotte’s The professor was sent back. Charlotte didn’t give up

and started another novel called Jane Eyre. And finally she succeeded. She also had many other famous books, such as Shirley and Villette. The heroine of the book is Jane Eyre, and the hero is Mr Rochester. They fell in love with each other. There are some other charactors in this book. Mrs Reed, Jane’s aunt, and her three child Eliza Reed, Georgiana Reed and Jone Reed. They all treat Jane bad when she was in their home. Jane’s mother Jane Reed and Jane’s father Jone Eyre both died when Jane was a baby. Mr Brocklehurst is the headmaster of Lowood school, he is man like Mrs Reed. In Lowood school, Jane makes friends with Helen. She is a nice girl, it’s a pitty she dies in Lowood. The housekeeper of Mr Rochester, Mrs Fairfax, is Jane’s friend. Bertha Mason is Rochester’s wife. But she has madness.She invite Jane to be Adele’s governess. And Adele is the daughter of Rochester’s friend. After Jane leave Rochester’s house, she live in Moor House. She lives there with Diana, Mary and St John Rivers. That’s the main characters of this book.The book tells us the story of Jane Eyre’s life. She has a hard childhood. She was discriminated in her aunt’s house. She can’t live like other children. And her cousin always punish her. Lowood school also fill with fear and death. The hard living condition makes Jane strong. She keeps seeking beautiful life and never give up. In her opinion, love should be equal. Though her social status is lower than Rochester, but she never care about that. In her eyes, they were the same. When she know that Mr Rochester has a wife, she leave him. Because she think she has been cheated, her self-respect is wounded. She leave the big house, because there’s something she think more important than money. But when she hear Mr Rochester’s house has burnt and Rochester has been disabled, she go to find him immediately. She protect her self-respect and find her true love.The story impressed me deeply. I admire Jane very much. She stands for independent ladies. From her story I can feel a strong lady fight for equal and true love. Nowadays many people think money is the most important thing, but in order for self-respect she can throw away every thing. And she finally find her true love. Besides we can also learn from her firm in character and her seeking for knowledge. We should keep our soul pure and fight for our dreams. The world is always so beautiful.
