Pursuit: Jane Eyre's personality charm and personality characteristics

Jane Eyre, mainly through the tortuous love story between Jane Eyre and Rochester, created a strong woman with humble origins and tortuous life path, but always insisted on maintaining independent personality, pursuing individual freedom, advocating equality in life and not bowing to fate.

Fate threw Jane Eyre into her parents' death, and she relied on others' living environment. The aversion to menstruation, the contempt of my cousin, the abuse and beating of my cousin, and the bad behavior of snobbish servants did not make her give in. On the contrary, relying on her weak body, she fought a terrible struggle for the opponents until she was expelled from Gateshead, where there was no place for her.

Her subsequent life at Lowood boarding school began with physical punishment and mental destruction. Brocklehurst, the benefactor of the school, not only vilified her in front of the teachers and students of the whole school, but also put her on the stage of shame. But she gained an inner strength from Helen, who was also humiliated, and became extraordinarily strong. She didn't fall into humiliation, but made continuous progress. As a result, she not only made rapid progress in her studies, but also got the understanding of teachers and students. She is like a small tree, braving the wind and snow and growing tenaciously.

As soon as she set foot in Thornfield, she was caught in the whirlpool of love. On the issue of love, she is equally humble and always maintains her personal dignity. Although Miss Ingram has a good family and is arrogant and aggressive, Jane Eyre always faces it calmly without losing her dignity. Her position with Rochester is even more different. One is a rich employer and grandfather, and the other is a governess who is not much better than a servant. But she never thought they were equal, so she dared to say to Rochester, "Is it because I am poor, humble, ordinary and insignificant that I have no soul and no heart?" ..... My heart is as full as yours! ..... I'm not talking to you according to customs, conventions or even flesh and blood, but my soul is talking to your soul, as if we were standing at God's feet through the grave, equal to each other-that's it! When Rochester asked her what else she needed, she immediately replied, "Dear. I will repay your respect, so that this debt can be paid off. "Indeed, Jane Eyre has an invincible inner personality strength. She is upright and noble, and her mind is not polluted by secular society. In front of Rochester, she was so tall, and their positions were reversed in spirit, which made Rochester feel ashamed, respected her at the same time and fell in love with her deeply. It was because Rochester ignored the secular barriers, crossed the class gap and really loved her that she accepted his love and agreed to marry him. However, once Rochester was found married and had a wife, she left her sweetheart without hesitation out of self-esteem and despite Rochester's repeated detention and entreaties. Her view of love is not mixed with other thoughts. She will never be a slave to money, nor will she become a vassal of others. She will be independent forever. In her view, fetters are the graves of love.

Because she has always longed for freedom, although St. John was the rescuer in distress after she left Thornfield, with good conduct and lofty aspirations, and pursued her, because "I often feel pain only by attaching to him in this capacity, and my body will be put in tight shackles ..." "... it is unbearable to be his wife", and she finally resolutely refused.

Finally, when she learned that Rochester was unfortunately blind to save his crazy wife in the fire, she was severely disabled and lost the ability to live independently. At the same time, her wife died, her property was destroyed, and she threw herself into Rochester's arms, which she flatly refused. This is a kind of selfless love, only thinking about giving, not asking for anything in return.

Jane Eyre's beliefs and actions in pursuing freedom, equality and safeguarding human dignity actually reflect the requirements of the emerging bourgeoisie after the industrial revolution. Due to birth and hereditary property, the aristocratic class is at the top of the social ladder. Although, with the rapid development of industry, the whole Britain is in the transition from an agricultural country to an industrial country, and the status of the aristocratic class is in jeopardy, the nobles still use the magic weapon of hierarchy to maintain their social status. If the increasingly powerful bourgeoisie wants to establish its corresponding political status, it must break through the old hierarchical concept and prove that "everyone is equal before God". Jane Eyre, whose life is freedom and equality, is completely different from the traditional female image. The traditional female image is obedient, dignified and virtuous, and most of them rely on men. Her most distinctive personality is rebellion. Her struggle and resistance are a challenge to traditional ideas. The author's ideological tendency is also very clear, and the attack on old values is very sharp. She tore up the mask of religion and church by exposing all kinds of non-charitable behaviors of Lowood Charity School and the extreme selfishness hidden in St. John's heart. St. John claimed to dedicate himself selflessly to God. In addition, a deliberately arranged aristocratic gathering in Thornfield exposed the common faults of nobles, such as narrowness, shallowness, ignorance, posturing and self-righteousness, which was in sharp contrast with Jane Eyre's generosity, tolerance, intelligence, humility and research. Even for the hero of a famous family, the author did not spare the whip in his hand. Rochester's moral and spiritual degeneration and decay were severely whipped through repeated remorse and repentance. Finally, he was reborn from the association with Jane Eyre. It can be said that Jane Eyre, with a tortuous love story as the carrier, created a female image that embodies some requirements of the emerging class and reflects the spirit of the times during the industrial revolution.

The structure of Jane Eyre is the artistic framework of The Divine Comedy. Jane Eyre experienced the scorching of hell (Gateshead and Loward) and the purification of purgatory (Thornfield and swamp), and finally reached the ideal realm of heaven (combining with Rochester and giving birth to the next generation symbolizing new life). In The Divine Comedy, Dante is led to hell and purgatory by Virgil, an ancient Roman poet, while Jane Eyre is driven by fate and passively completes this difficult journey.

The author creates an atmosphere of hell by rendering atmosphere, nightmares, hallucinations and premonitions, and constructs an allegorical environment. In Gateshead, Jane Eyre read "dead white hell", "lonely graveyard", "ghost", "devil" and "black monster with horns on her head" from the book, and felt the "gloomy basic atmosphere" from her life, and saw the "ghost" that appeared and disappeared from time to time, and the depressed and frightening "red house" almost became. In lowood, "death has become a frequent visitor here", "gloom and terror are shrouded in the wall" and "the stench of death" exudes. For Jane Eyre, there is no doubt that she just jumped out of the fire pit and was thrown into a more terrible hell. In Thornfield, crazy women appear frequently like ghosts, storms keep attacking mulberry houses, and incredible things happen one after another. Jane Eyre later heard a ghostly howl; After a while, I saw a raging fire burning inexplicably; After a while, my relatives and I had a nightmare about where you were going. After a while, I had terrible hallucinations and all kinds of ominous premonitions, and the mysterious and gloomy atmosphere of hell always hung over Thornfield.

In the "hell" created by the author, Jane Eyre, the hero, was tortured by a prison fire. In Gateshead House, she was beaten by her cousin Reed, looked down upon by the people around her, and was locked up in the Red Chamber, and her mind was greatly tortured. In Loward, where the epidemic spread, she was always threatened with death when she was hungry and cold, and was denounced as the embodiment of evil in public, and her body and mind were tempered at the same time. After experiencing the test of life, Jane Eyre gradually matured and became stronger, which made her ready for the test of Thornfield prison fire and made her invincible in the face of Miss Ingram's challenge, Rochester's torture and the threat of crazy women. In this way, the protagonist Jane Eyre has gone through the hell and purgatory of life.

In the last part of the novel, Jane Eyre, like King Lear in Shakespeare's tragedy, was baptized by the storm, while Rochester was reborn in the fire symbolizing being reborn and getting rid of old evils. Under the call of God, they came together and entered the realm of truth and perfection, that is, the ideal kingdom of heaven.

In order to endow an ordinary love novel with classic meaning and mythical connotation, the author repeatedly quotes the Bible, myths, epics, classic works, historical allusions and Shakespeare. Among them, there are more than 40 biblical allusions in the book. There are more than ten Shakespeare plays, including Hamlet, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Much ado about nothing, The Tempest, King Lear, Macbeth, Othello and Henry IV. In addition, the poems of Milton, Scott, Pope, Thomas Moore, the play The Arrogant Lady written by Baumont and Fletcher, The History of the World by Goldsmith, and the fairy tale One Thousand and One Stories are also quoted. On the one hand, the reference of these classics is helpful to the characterization. For example, readers can see from Rochester's many references to Shakespeare that this character is not a vulgar "villain" as accused by some critics when the novel came out, but an educated and sentimental aristocrat (otherwise his final confession will be reluctant); On the other hand, it also greatly increases the cultural thickness of the novel, enriches its internal meaning and makes it more classic.

A major feature of this novel is its passion and poetry. Mrs. Gaskell, who wrote the Biography of Charlotte Brontexq, once praised the author for "what kind of enthusiasm and what kind of fire!" Rochester, the hero of the novel, is a passionate, bold, love-hate person who despairs of Jane Eyre. Jane Eyre, the heroine, is weak and short, but independent and independent, and dares to say no to anyone. Therefore, the two people inevitably collide in thought and emotion, thus generating a strong passion, which in turn makes the flame of love burn more vigorously. Both men and women express their passion in poetic language. Their dialogue to express their feelings is actually a poem, so warm, romantic, touching and charming. This may be an important reason why Jane Eyre has been attracting thousands of readers in Qian Qian, especially young readers, from 65438 to 052, making them sigh for the hero's bad luck and laugh for her happiness.

Of course, Jane Eyre also has some shortcomings. Too many coincidences in the book are not only kitsch, but also easily lead to novel distortion. The emotional expression between the hero and heroine is too exaggerated, which inevitably seems a bit melodramatic. However, Jane Eyre is still the reader's favorite Jane Eyre.

About the author: Charlotte Brontexq was born in 18 16, a pastor's family in Thornto, Yorkshire, England, ranking third. There are two sisters in front of him, two sisters and a brother behind him, and six brothers and sisters. When I was four years old, my family moved to a small town called Haworth, surrounded by rolling hills, wet swamps and overgrown wasteland. In this corner forgotten by the industrial revolution, people live a precarious life. Charlotte Brontexq spent 35 long years in his short life here.

182 1 Charlotte's mother died when she was five years old, leaving a large group of young children. My father had to send Charlotte and her two sisters and brothers to a boarding school founded by 1924 charity because of lack of economy and energy. The environment and living conditions there are very poor. The founder is convinced that childlike innocence is evil and needs strict control and severe punishment to adjust, so artificial freezing and corporal punishment have become the normal life of children. Soon, the lung disease became unstoppable and took the lives of Charlotte's two sisters. My father quickly let Charlotte and her brother escape from the cave of death and return home.

193 1 year, Charlotte entered the boarding school in Rhodes, not far from home. The situation here is completely different. Teachers are very kind and know how to teach. Charlotte not only made great progress in her studies, but also lived a happy life. Although she only stayed for one year and four months, the warm life here left an unforgettable impression on her.

1935, Charlotte returned to Rhodes to teach, and her two sisters Emily and Anne followed her to study, which offset some of her remuneration and left three years later. From 1838 to 1842, Charlotte and her sisters ran around and made a living as tutors. However, because the job status is underground and the salary is meager, it is difficult for the two sisters to get together, so they resolutely gave up and decided to start their own business.

1842, in order to obtain the qualification of running a school, Charlotte went to a school in Brussels to study German and French for a short time with the support of her menstruation, and taught English at the same time, and lived in the home of her teacher, Mr. and Mrs. eger. Herge's teaching ability and integrity attracted her, which made her feel warm about this man who was seven years older than herself, and was later discovered by Herge's wife. Charlotte then terminated her studies and returned to her hometown. Since then, she has written many heartfelt letters to Herge.

Although the Charlotte sisters were keen on running schools and made all kinds of preparations, they failed in the end. At the same time, my father's health went from bad to worse, and my younger brother, who was quite talented but lacked self-discipline, became a cripple by drinking and taking drugs, but the burden of family economy did not decrease at all. In this extremely difficult situation, Charlotte and her sisters began to write.

Charlotte and her sisters Emily and Anne's creative talents, although not unrelated to their respective talents, are mainly due to self-study under the guidance of their father. Their father Patrick Bronte was originally a farmer. He entered the hall of Cambridge University through hard self-study and became an excellent student there. After graduation, he worked as a teacher and a priest. He is knowledgeable, loves reading and writing, and has published a book of poems. Under his encouragement and supervision, Charlotte, Emily and Anne often get together and read, draw and write hungrily. Books opened their hearts and improved their education; How hard life makes them precocious and good at insight into the world; The unique experience provides a sufficient source for creation; Persistent literary practice makes writing skills more and more exquisite. So when their creative enthusiasm broke out, three masterpieces in the history of world literature were miraculously born in the same year and in the same family: Charlotte's Jane Eyre (1847), Emily's Wuthering Heights (1847) and Anne's Agnes Gray (65438).

In addition to Jane Eyre, Charlotte also wrote Shirley (1849), in which she wrote that workers who had nothing and lived by selling their labor19th century turned their resentment to machines and launched a destructive movement. Villette (1853), which is considered more mature by some critics, depicts a touching love story with the author's experience in Brussels as the background. Teacher (1857) describes a girl who takes teaching as her profession and has experienced various setbacks and hardships in her life.

God seems to have created this house of genius without stint, and seems eager to extend a hand of destruction to them. Once their talents are known to the world, they disappear like meteors. A, versatile brother died in1in September, 848. Subsequently, Emily, who wrote the immortal Wuthering Heights, died in February 65438+. Then, in May of the following year, another nun, Anne, died. Five years later 1854, Charlotte married Nicholas, then an assistant pastor, but fell ill in the rain while walking a few months later and died on March 3 1, 1855 at the age of 39. These talented children, without exception, died before their father in the golden age of life. Poor, Bronte sisters!

Charlotte Brontexq, the author of Jane Eyre, grew up in a troubled family. Living in a backcountry far away from the hubbub; Living in a healthy era of British industrial revolution, the country is transitioning from an agricultural country to an industrial country, and the emerging bourgeoisie is growing. All these marks her novel creation. Charlotte bronte? Describe the heroine of the same name in her 1847 novel as "poor and ordinary like me." Presenting a heroine who is neither beautiful nor charming is an unprecedented strategy, but Bronte? Facts have proved that her intuition is correct, because readers of her time and later readers have deeply imprinted Jane Eyre in their hearts. Based on her own experience, the author describes Jane's struggle in a depressed boarding school in Lowood and her bumpy governess career. Unlike Jane Bronte? There is a warm family circle to share and encourage her literary pursuit. Her novel was an immediate success, telling the story of an orphan girl who was forced to make a living alone in this world, from Lowood School to Thornfield, the solemn and moody manor of Mr. Rochester, and beyond.
