one hundred and sixty years ago,when charlotte bronte created jane eyre,she could have never thought that it would become eternal.as a matter of fact, in the world of today,there are tens of thousands of jane eyre,each living in a reader's heart,breathing with him the same air and sharing with him the same happiness and sorrow.her rich mental world has become an inexhaustible resource of spirtual power.from jane eyre,people who are timid and shy get confidence and self-respect;people who feel imprisoned get independence and freedom;people who are lonesome get love and care.however, what i get from jane eyre is the courage of inner qestioning and self-exploring.

jane eyre is a young orphan being raised by mrs. reed, her cruel, wealthy aunt. a servant named bessie provides jane with some of the few kindnesses she receives, telling her stories and singing songs to her. one day, as punishment for fighting with her bullying cousin john reed, jane’s aunt imprisons jane in the red-room, the room in which jane’s uncle reed died. while locked in, jane, believing that she sees her uncle’s ghost, screams and faints. she wakes to find herself in the care of bessie and the kindly apothecary mr. lloyd, who suggests to mrs. reed that jane be sent away to school. to jane’s delight, mrs. reed concurs.

once at the lowood school, jane finds that her life is far from idyllic. the school’s headmaster is mr. brocklehurst, a cruel, hypocritical, and abusive man. brocklehurst preaches a doctrine of poverty and privation to his students while using the school’s funds to provide a wealthy and opulent lifestyle for his own family. at lowood, jane befriends a young girl named helen burns, whose strong, martyrlike attitude toward the school’s miseries is both helpful and displeasing to jane. a massive typhus epidemic sweeps lowood, and helen dies of consumption. the epidemic also results in the departure of mr. brocklehurst by attracting attention to the insalubrious conditions at lowood. after a group of more sympathetic gentlemen takes brocklehurst’s place, jane’s life improves dramatically. she spends eight more years at lowood, six as a student and two as a teacher.

after teaching for two years, jane yearns for new experiences. she accepts a governess position at a manor called thornfield, where she teaches a lively french girl named adèle. the distinguished housekeeper mrs. fairfax presides over the estate. jane’s employer at thornfield is a dark, impassioned man named rochester, with whom jane finds herself falling secretly in love. she saves rochester from a fire one night, which he claims was started by a drunken servant named grace poole. but because grace poole continues to work at thornfield, jane concludes that she has not been told the entire story. jane sinks into despondency when rochester brings home a beautiful but vicious woman named blanche ingram. jane expects rochester to propose to blanche. but rochester instead proposes to jane, who accepts almost disbelievingly.

the wedding day arrives, and as jane and mr. rochester prepare to exchange their vows, the voice of mr. mason cries out that rochester already has a wife. mason introduces himself as the brother of that wife—a woman named bertha. mr. mason testifies that bertha, whom rochester married when he was a young man in jamaica, is still alive. rochester does not deny mason’s claims, but he explains that bertha has gone mad. he takes the wedding party back to thornfield, where they witness the insane bertha mason scurrying around on all fours and growling like an animal. rochester keeps bertha hidden on the third story of thornfield and pays grace poole to keep his wife under control. bertha was the real cause of the mysterious fire earlier in the story. knowing that it is impossible for her to be with rochester, jane flees thornfield.

penniless and hungry, jane is forced to sleep outdoors and beg for food. at last, three siblings who live in a manor alternatively called marsh end and moor house take her in. their names are mary, diana, and st. john (pronounced “sinjin”) rivers, and jane quickly becomes friends with them. st. john is a clergyman, and he finds jane a job teaching at a charity school in morton. he surprises her one day by declaring that her uncle, john eyre, has died and left her a large fortune: 20,000 pounds. when jane asks how he received this news, he shocks her further by declaring that her uncle was also his uncle: jane and the riverses are cousins. jane immediately decides to share her inheritance equally with her three newfound relatives.

st. john decides to travel to india as a missionary, and he urges jane to accompany him—as his wife. jane agrees to go to india but refuses to marry her cousin because she does not love him. st. john pressures her to reconsider, and she nearly gives in. however, she realizes that she cannot abandon forever the man she truly loves when one night she hears rochester’s voice calling her name over the moors. jane immediately hurries back to thornfield and finds that it has been burned to the ground by bertha mason, who lost her life in the fire. rochester saved the servants but lost his eyesight and one of his hands. jane travels on to rochester’s new residence, ferndean, where he lives with two servants named john and mary.

at ferndean, rochester and jane rebuild their relationship and soon marry. at the end of her story, jane writes that she has been married for ten blissful years and that she and rochester enjoy perfect equality in their life together. she says that after two years of blindness, rochester regained sight in one eye and was able to behold their first son at his birth.

actually,not only do i inspired by jane eyre's character,but also i am moved by the love of rochester.i believe that every one of us may have thought about our mr.right after reading this book.he doesn't need to be so handsome .however,he must be good to us and take our things as the most important things.yes, we are all expecting...

《简爱》英文读后感篇3

oliver twist, one of the most famous works of charles dickens’, is a novel reflecting the tragic fact of the life in britain in 18th century.

the author who himself was born in a poor family wrote this novel in his twenties with a view to reveal the ugly masks of those cruel criminals and to expose the horror and violence hidden underneath the narrow and dirty streets in london.

the hero of this novel was oliver twist, an orphan, who was thrown into a world full of poverty and crime. he suffered enormous pain, such as hunger, thirst, beating and abuse. while reading the tragic experiences of the little oliver, i was shocked by his sufferings. i felt for the poor boy, but at the same time i detested the evil fagin and the brutal bill. to my relief, as was written in all the best stories, the goodness eventually conquered devil and oliver lived a happy life in the end. one of the plots that attracted me most is that after the theft, little oliver was allowed to recover in the kind care of mrs. maylie and rose and began a new life. he went for walks with them, or rose read to him, and he worked hard at his lessons. he felt as if he had left behind forever the world of crime and hardship and poverty.

how can such a little boy who had already suffered oppressive affliction remain pure in body and mind? the reason is the nature of goodness. i think it is the most important information implied in the novel by dickens-he believed that goodness could conquer every difficulty. although i don’t think goodness is omnipotent, yet i do believe that those who are kind-hearted live more happily than those who are evil-minded.

for me, the nature of goodness is one of the most necessary character for a person. goodness is to humans what water is to fish. he who is without goodness is an utterly worthless person. on the contrary, as the famous saying goes, ‘the fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose’, he who is with goodness undoubtedly is a happy and useful person. people receiving his help are grateful to him and he also gets gratified from what he has done, and thus he can do good to both the people he has helped and himself.

to my disappointment, nowadays some people seem to doubt the existence of the goodness in humanity. they look down on people’s honesty and kindness, thinking it foolish of people to be warm-hearted. as a result, they show no sympathy to those who are in trouble and seldom offer to help others. on the other hand, they attach importance to money and benefit. in their opinion, money is the only real object while emotions and morality are nihility. if they cannot get profit from showing their ‘kindness’, they draw back when others are faced with trouble and even hit a man when he is down. they are one of the sorts that i really detest.

francis bacon said in his essay, ‘goodness, of all virtues and dignities of the mind, is the greatest, being the character of the deity, and without it, man is a busy, mischievous, wretched thing, no better than a kind of vermin.’

that is to say a person without goodness is destined to lose everything. therefore, i, a kind person, want to tell those ‘vermin-to-be’ to learn from the kind oliver and regain the nature of goodness.

《简爱》英文读后感篇4

i first read "jane eyre" in eighth grade and have read it every few years since. it is one of my favorite novels,and so much more than a gothic romance to me,although that's how i probably would have defined it at age 13. i have always been struck,haunted in a way,by the characters - jane and mr. rochester. they take on new depth every time i meet them...and their's is a love story for the ages.

charlotte bronte's first published novel,and her most noted work,is a semi-autobiographical ing-of-age story. jane is plain,poor,alone and unprotected,but due to her fierce independence and strong will she grows and is able to defy society's expectations of her. this is definitely feminist literature,published in 1847,way before the beginning of any feminist movement. perhaps this is one of the reasons why the novel has had such a wide following since it first came on the market. it is also one of the first gothic romances published and defines the genre.

jane eyre,who is our narrator,was born into a poor family. her parents died when she was a small child and the little girl was sent to live with her uncle and aunt reed at gateshead. jane's uncle truly cared for her and showed his affection openly,but mrs. reed seemed to hate the orphan,and neglected her while she pampered and spoiled her own children. this unfair treatment emphasized jane's status as an unwanted outsider. she was often punished harshly. on one occasion her nasty cousin jack picked a fight with her. jane tried to defend herself and was locked in the terrifying "red room" as a result. jane's uncle reed had died in this room a little while before,and mrs. reed knew how frightened she was of the chamber. since jane is the narrator,the reader is given a first-hand impression of the child's feelings,her heightened emotional state at being imprisoned. indeed,she seems almost like an hysterical child,filled with terror and rage. she repeatedly calls her condition in life "unjust" and is filled with bitterness. looking into the mirror jane sees a distorted image of herself. she views her reflection and sees a "strange little figure," or "tiny phantom." jane has not learned yet to subordinate her passions to her reason. her passions still erupt unchecked. her isolation in the red room is a presentiment of her later isolation from almost every society and munity. this powerful,beautifully written scene never fails to move me.

mrs. reed decided to send jane away to the lowood school,a poor institution run by mr. brocklehurst,who believed that suffering made grand people. all the children there were neglected,except to receive harsh punishment when any mistake was made. at lowood,jane met helen burns,a young woman a little older than jane,who guided her with vision,light and love for the rest of her life. jane's need for love was so great. it really bees obvious in this first friendship. helen later died from fever,in jane's arms. her illness and death could have been avoided if more attention had been paid to the youths. jane stayed at lowood for ten years,eight as a student and two as a teacher. tired and depressed by her surroundings,jane applied for the position of governess and found employment at thornfield. the mansion is owned by a gentleman named edward fairfax rochester. her job there was to teach his ward,an adorable little french girl,adele. over a long period the moody,inscrutable

rochester confides in jane and she in him. the two form an unlikely friendship and eventually fall in love. again,jane's need for love es to the fore,as does her passionate nature. she blooms. a dark,gothic figure,rochester also has a heart filled with the hope of true love and future happiness with jane. ironically,he has brought all his misery,past and future,on himself.

all is not as it seems at thornfield. there is a strange,ominous woman servant,grace poole,who lives and works in an attic room. she keeps to herself and is rarely seen. from the first,however,jane has sensed bizarre happenings at night,when everyone is asleep .there are wild cries along with violent attempts on rochester's life by a seemingly unknown person. jane wonders why no one investigates mrs. poole. then a strange man visits thornfield and mysteriously disappears with mr. rochester. late that night jane is asked to sit with the man while the lord of the house seeks a doctor's help. the man has been seriously wounded and is weak from loss of blood. he leaves by coach,in a sorry state,first thing in the morning. jane's questions are not answered directly. this visit will have dire consequences on all involved. an explosive secret revealed will destroy all the joyful plans that jane and rochester have made. jane,once more will face poverty and isolation.

charlotte bronte's heroine jane eyre,may not have been graced with beauty or money,but she had a spirit of fire and was filled with integrity and a sense of independence - character traits that never waned in spite of all the oppression she encountered in life. ms. bronte brings to the fore in "jane eyre" such issues as: the relations between men and women in the mid-19 century,women's equality,the treatment of children and of women,religious faith and hypocrisy (and the difference between the two),the realization of selfhood,and the nature of love and passion. this is a powerhouse of a novel filled with romance,mystery and passions. it is at once startlingly fresh and a portrait of the times. ms. bronte will make your heart beat faster,your pulse race and your eyes fill with tears.

《简爱》英文读后感篇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.

the story can be interpreted as a symbol of the independent spirit.

it seems to me that many readers’ english reading experience starts with jane eyer.

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 the ruthless oppression, jane got a chance to be a tutor in thornfield garden.

there she made 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 she was jane eyer.

the film has finally got a symbolist end: jane inherited a large number of legacies and finally returned.

after finding rochester’s misfortune brought 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 the section 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 jane had 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.
