A brief introduction to a famous book

Jane Eyre is the masterpiece of Charlotte Brontexq, a famous British woman writer in the 19th century. It is generally believed that Jane Eyre is a portrayal of Charlotte Brontexq's poetic life and an autobiographical work. Charlotte Brontexq, emily bronte, anne bronte and elizabeth barrett browning constituted the perfect trinity of the highest honor for British women at that time.

Jane Eyre is an autobiographical novel, which explains such a theme: human value = dignity+love.

When Jane Eyre was first published, the author charlotte bronte used the pseudonym Colbert. So much so that all the books published by her sisters were mistaken for her. So that she can clarify the facts in the second edition of Jane Eyre herself.

Charlotte Brontexq, the author of Jane Eyre, and Emily, the author of Wuthering Heights, are sisters. Although they live in the same social and family environment, their personalities are quite different. Charlotte Brontexq is gentler, purer and more fond of pursuing something beautiful. Although the family is poor, she lost her maternal love since she was a child, and her father's love is even rarer. In addition, she is short and ugly, but perhaps it is this deep inferiority in her soul that is reflected in her personality as a very sensitive self-esteem. The Jane she described. Love is also an unattractive short woman, but she has extremely strong self-esteem. She is determined to pursue a bright, holy and beautiful life.

Jane Eyre lives in an environment where her parents are dead and dependent on others. She was treated differently from her peers since she was a child. The disgust of menstruation, the contempt of cousin, the insult and beating of cousin ... this is a cruel trampling on the dignity of a child. Fortunately, however, in the life of an extremely humble boarding school, Jane meets a lovely friend: Helen Burns. Helen's docile, intelligent and extremely tolerant personality has been affecting her.

Before Rochester, she never felt inferior, because she was a humble governess. On the contrary, she thinks they are equal. She should not be respected by others because she is a servant. It is because of her integrity, nobility and purity that Rochester was shocked by the fact that her mind was not polluted by secular society, and regarded her as a person who could talk to herself on an equal footing in spirit, and slowly fell in love with her deeply. His sincerity touched her and she accepted him. On their wedding day, when Jane Eyre learned that Rochester had a wife, she felt that she had to leave. She said, "I will abide by the laws of the world recognized by God, and I will stick to the principles I accepted when I was awake, and I will not be so crazy as I am now." "I will firmly stick to this position." This is the reason why Jane Eyre told Rochester that she must leave, but from the heart, the deeper reason is that Jane Eyre realized that she was cheated and her self-esteem was teased because she loved Rochester deeply. How can a woman stand being cheated by the person she trusts and is closest to? Jane Eyre withstood it and made a very rational decision. Surrounded by such a powerful love force and lured by a beautiful and rich life, she still insists on her dignity as an individual, which is the most spiritual charm of Jane Eyre.

The novel has a bright ending-although Rochester's manor was destroyed and he himself became a cripple, we can see that Jane Eyre is no longer in the contradiction between dignity and love, but she is satisfied at the same time-she married Rochester with dignity and love.

The novel tells us that the best life of human beings is human dignity and love, and the ending of the novel arranges such a life for the heroine. Although I think this ending is too perfect, even this perfection itself marks superficiality, I still respect the author's ideal of this beautiful life-dignity plus love. After all, in today's society, the realization of the formula of human value = dignity+love is often inseparable from the help of money. People seem to be madly addicted to the love of money and status. Choose rich between poor and rich, and choose not to love between love and not to love. Few people will abandon everything for love and personality like Jane. What Jane Eyre shows us is a simplification, a return to simplicity, a feeling of pursuing wholehearted devotion, and a sense of simplification regardless of gains and losses. It is like a glass of ice water, which purifies every reader's mind and resonates with readers, especially female readers.

abstract

Jane Eyre's father is a poor priest. When she was still alive, her parents fell ill and died when she was a child. Jane Eyre was sent to the house of Mrs. Reed, the aunt of Gateshead Manor. Before he died, Mr. Reed told his wife to take good care of Jane Eyre. Jane Eyre's position in Mrs. Reed's family is not as good as that of the maid, and she has been bullied by her cousin. One day, my cousin hit her again. She resisted, but her aunt put her in the red house, where her uncle Mr. Reed died. She was frightened by the imaginary ghost. I was very ill and it took me a long time to recover.

She didn't want to stay at Mrs. Reed's house any longer, so Mrs. Reed sent her to Dallowood orphanage. The director of the orphanage is a cold hypocrite who destroys orphans mentally and physically in various ways. Jane is very kind to the orphan Helen, and Miss Temple, the teacher, is also very concerned about her. An infectious typhoid fever in an orphanage claimed the lives of many healthy children, and Helen also died of this typhoid fever, which was a great blow to Jane Eyre.

After graduation, Jane stayed in school as a teacher for two years. She can't stand the loneliness and indifference there. She advertised for a tutor, so she came to Thornfield Hall. Only the owner of the manor, Rochester, and his illegitimate daughter Adel Vallance live in Thornfield Manor, and Rochester often travels abroad, so Jane went to Thornfield for several days and never saw Rochester.

One night, Jane went out for a walk and surprised Rochester's horse. It just came back from outside. Rochester fell off his horse, and Jane hurried to help him. When she got home, Jane realized that he was Rochester, the owner of the manor. Rochester is a gloomy and moody man. He and Jane often argue about some new ideas.

Strange things keep happening at thornfield manor. One night, Jane was awakened by a strange laugh and found Rochester's door open and her bed on fire. She woke Rochester and put out the fire. Rochester told Jane that there lived a woman named Grace Poole on the third floor. She is insane, often giving out creepy laughter and asking her to keep a secret.

Rochester often attends dances. One day, he invited guests to his house to play. It is thought that Rochester will propose to Miss Blanche at this dance. At the party, Rochester insisted that Jane also go to the living room. The guests were very rude to Jane, but Rochester invited Jane to dance. Jane thinks she has feelings for Rochester.

One day, Rochester was not at home, and a gypsy with a veil came to his house. When it was Jane's turn to tell her fortune, Jane found out that this mysterious gypsy was Rochester, and he wanted to test Jane's feelings for him. At this moment, a stranger named Mei Sen came to the manor. He was bitten by a mysterious woman on the third floor that night. Jane helped Rochester send him away secretly.

Soon, Mrs. Reed sent for Jane, saying that she was dying and wanted to meet Jane. When she returned to menstruation's home, Mrs Reed gave her a letter, which was sent by Jane's uncle three years ago, asking about her niece and giving her inheritance to Jane. Mrs. Reed lied that Jane died in an orphanage, and it was not until her deathbed that her conscience discovered the truth and told Jane.

Jane felt at home when she returned to Thornfield House. After returning, Rochester begged her not to get married, and Jane agreed, happily preparing for the wedding. On the eve of the wedding, Jane woke up from her dream and saw a tall and ugly woman wearing her wedding dress and tearing it to pieces. Rochester told her that it was just a dream. When Jane woke up the next day, she found that the wedding dress was really broken.

The wedding was held as scheduled, and an unexpected guest broke into the church, claiming that the wedding could not be held. He said, 15 years ago, Rochester married Bertha Mei Sen, Mr. Mei Sen's sister. Rochester admitted this fact and showed people the crazy woman who was locked up on the third floor. That's his lawful wife. She has a history of hereditary mental illness. She set fire to Rochester's room and tore up Jane's wedding dress.

Jane left Thornfield Hall sadly. She spent all her savings and begged along the way. Finally, she fainted in front of Father St. John's house and was saved by St. John and his two sisters. Jane survived, and St. John found her a job as a country teacher.

Soon, St. John received a notice from his family lawyer that his uncle John Jane had died, leaving Jane with 20 thousand pounds, asking St. John to help him find Jane. St John found out that Jane was his cousin, and Jane insisted on sharing her inheritance with them. St John is going to preach in India. Before he left, he proposed to Jane, but he told her frankly that he wanted to marry her not because he loved her, but because he needed a well-educated assistant. Jane felt that she should repay his kindness, but she refused to promise him. That night, St. John waited for Jane's reply in the wasteland. When she made a short decision, she seemed to hear Rochester calling her name in the distance, "Jane, come back!" " Jane, come back "She decided to go back to Rochester.

When Jane returned to Thornfield Manor, the whole manor was in ruins. It turned out that a few months ago, on a stormy night, Bertha, a crazy woman, set fire to the whole manor. In order to save her, Rochester was burned blind and lived alone on a farm a few miles away. Jane rushed to the family farm and revealed her love to him. They finally got married.

Two years later, after one of Rochester's eyes was cured, he saw Jane's first child.
