简爱的书评 On Jane Eyre Reading Jane Eyre is a process full of pleasure and motivation. The heroine, , succeeds in conquering millions of readers by her virtue, consistence and reason. To make Jane’s extraordinary romance with Mr.Rochester a break from routine, Charlotte Bronte managers to connect Jane with an “ordinary” aspirant and Mr.Rochester a disability. The essence of love deserves a discussion and reflection here. Appearance? possession? To me, neither. Miss Ingram, undoubtedly, a wealthy, pretty and accomplished lady from the first class, is described by Mr.Rochester as one of those “women who please me only by their faces. They open to me a perspective of flatness, triviality and perhaps imbecility, coarseness, and ill-temper. ”In addition, the repeated proposal of the handsome, ambitious St.John comes across Jane’s stable refusal. These plots are expected to get out of a conventional stereotype that appearance and possession count most. InJane Eyre, love is only based on internal appreciation. It is Jane’s virtue that brings light to all around her---kinship, friendship and romance. To my regret, virtue no longer shares the priority and popularity in our modern society. More or less, people have been accustomed to making external show pass for clean shrines. Sometimes, people feel reluctant to admit their poverty and ugliness. However, those who dares to scrutinize and expose---to raise the gilding , and show basic metal under it, are too often neglected. For the people that merely care façade brilliance, I suppose, Jane Eyre cannot be missed. Apart from Jane, I want to mention Helen Burns, a most important friend of Jane. Though the author doesn’t emphasis her, I do appreciate this little girl and feel sorry for her early death. Tender but firm, learned but modest, eloquent but prorious, Helen Burns always remains obedient to critism, smiles at her friend when most needed and difficult, keeps calm towards death. Really, I believe she has a heart large enough, vigorous enough to hold her swelling life of pure and fervid. Her spirit seemed hastening to live with a very brief span as much as many people during a protracted existence. Besides depicting a typically stable, tractable Jane, Jane Eyre also stands out for some other aspects. Given the content, the book discovers many social problems that period had, such as the poor charitable school, hypocritical postors and profligate nobles; Given the rhetorical feature, it is not only a work of realism, but also full of romantic atmosphere. The mixture of presentiment, symbolism, synecdoche and metaphor contributes a lot to literature value. Obviously, the author’s description towards Jane’s mentality differs a lot from the former ones. It is more forthright and minute. On the whole, Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre is a profound work that reminds readers of a theme: Virtue and Persistence. It has inspired so many readers especially females to struggle for a better life. Jane, a lady endowed with independence and goodness, is really a symbol of feminism. Critics say it is Charlotte Bronte that accomplishes Jane Eyre. For me, it is Jane Eyre that accomplishes Charlotte Bronte.
