《简爱》英文读后感1
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.
《简爱》英文读后感2
I love the fifth chapter: to Lowood (Lowood orphanage). At that time, Jane went to the orphanage, and she had a very hard day. The orphanage children can eat up to two times a week of bread and cheese and coffee, and they eat burnt porridge is not utter a sound, every morning to late to wait until the wash water, where the teacher is very strict, do something to stand for in the hall but. There is a teacher Miss Tan wave has broken some rules, let the students have a better day. The misfortune of Janes love makes me feel that life is so beautiful that we should cherish the present life. You cant be strong when you meet a setback.
《简爱》英文读后感3
Jane. Love living in a parents, sponsor, grew up under the environment of treatment with peers, aunt abandon, cousin contempt, cousin insults and beating of a child。 this is the dignity of the ruthletrample, but perhaps because it all, Jane. Love and faith of infinite indomitable spirit, a kind of inner personality can win. In rochester, she never because he is a teacher and the family status meanness, but that they feel inferior is equal. Should not because she is a servant, but not respected by others. Also because of her integrity, noble and pure heart, no pollution, secular society for the shock, and rochester her as a spiritual and equality in the conversation, and slowly and deeply in love with her. Jane eyre itself to us is a kind of simplified, is a fanpiaoguizhen, is a kind of pursuit of whole heart feeling, is a kind of simplified feelings and neglected, it is like a cup of water, purify every reader's heart, also cause readers, especially female readers

《简爱》英文读后感5
charlotte bronte's jane eyre
jane eyre was published in 1847 under the androgynous pseudonym of “currer bell.” the publication was followed by widespread success. utilizing two literary traditions, the bildungsroman and the gothic novel, jane eyre is a powerful narrative with profound themes concerning genders, family, passion, and identity. it is unambiguously one of the most celebrated novels in british literature.
born in 1816, charlotte bronte was the third daughter of patrick bronte, an ambitious and intelligent clergyman. according to newsman, all the bronte children were unusually precocious and almost ferociously intelligent, and their informal and unorthodox educations under their father's tutelage nurtured these traits. patrick bronte shared his interests in literature with his children, toward whom he behaved as though they were his intellectual equals. the bronte children read voraciously. charlotte's imagination was especially fired by the poetry of byron, whose brooding heroes served as the prototypes for characters in the bronte's juvenile writings as well as for such figures as mr. rochester in jane eyre 。 bronte's formal education was limited and sporadic – ten months at the age of 8 at cowan bridge clergy daughters' school,eighteen months from the age of 14 at roe head school of miss margaret wooler 。 according to newman, bronte then worked as a teacher at roe head for three years before going to work as a governess. seeking an alternative way of earning money, charlotte bronte went to brussels in 1842 to study french and german at the pensionnat heger, preparing herself to open a school at the parsonage. she seems to have fallen in love with her charismatic teacher, constantin heger. the experience seems on a probable source for a recurrent feature in bronte's fiction: “relationships in which the inflammatory spark of intellectual energy ignites an erotic attraction between a woman and a more socially powerful man” 。 the brontes' efforts to establish a school at the parsonage never got off the ground. still seeking ways to make money, charlotte published, with her sisters, the unsuccessful poems by currer, ellis, and acton bell. her first effort to publish a novel, the professor, was also unsuccessful. jane eyre, published in october 1847, however, was met with great enthusiasm and became one of the best sellers. as “currer bell” bronte completed two more novels, shirley and villette. she married reverend william bell nicholls in 1854 and died nine months later, at the age of thirty-nine in 1855 。
the story of jane eyre takes place in northern england in the early to mid-19th century. it starts as the ten-year-old jane, a plain but unyielding child, is excluded by her aunt reed from the domestic circle around the hearth and bullied by her handsome but unpleasant cousins. under the suggestion of mr. lloyd, an apothecary that sympathizes jane, mrs. reed sends jane to lowood institution operated by a hypocritical evangelicalist, mr. brocklehurst, who chastises jane in front of the class and calls her a liar. at lowood, jane befriends with helen burns, who helps the newly arrived jane adjust to the austere environment; she is also taken under the wing of the superintendent, miss temple. one spring, many students catch typhus due to the harsh condition. helen dies of consumption. at the end of her studies jane is retained as a teacher. when jane grows weary of her life at lowood, she advertises for a position as governess and is engaged by mrs. fairfax, housekeeper at thronfield, for a little girl, adele varens. after much waiting, jane meets her employer, edward rochester, somber, moody, quick to change in his manner, and brusque in his speech. mysterious happenings occur at thronfield, including demonic laugh emanating from the third-story attic and a fire set in rochester's bedroom one night. rochester attributes all the oddities to grace poole, the seamstress. meanwhile, jane develops an attraction for rochester. rochester, however, often flirts with the idea of marrying miss ingram. an old acquaintance of rochester's, richard mason, visits thornfield and is severely injured from an attack apparently from grace. jane returns to gateshead for a while to see the dying mrs. reed. when she returns to thornfield, rochester asks jane to marry him. jane accepts, but during the wedding, mason and a solicitor interrupt the ceremony by revealing that rochester is keeping his lunatic wife, bertha mason, in the attic in thornfield. despite rochester's confession, jane leaves thornfield. she arrives at the desolate crossroads of whitcross and runs into the rivers siblings, who tend her in moor house. jane happily accepts the offer of teaching at st. john's school.

reading report
――jane eyre
jane eyre impressed me a lot. i was touched not only by jane but also by the author.
the author, charlotte bronte, is a great woman. although she had a miserable childhood, she managed to live a happy life, just like jane eyre in the novel. jane was painful at her aunt’s home, for her aunt was unsatisfied to support her in the case that her uncle was dead. then she was sent to lowood when her aunt could not pretend to be kind any more. luckily, she made friend with helen burns there and for the first time she felt she was loved by someone. afterwards, with helen’s death, she grew up as an outstanding lady. at last, she was determined to go out to see the big world and she got the job as governess in thornfield hall. it seems that they were attracted by each other at the first sight. though n rough footing at first, they fell in love. but the god didn’t bless this poor girl. unexpectedly, rochestor had a mad wife before. jane was heartbroken and left him firmly. but nothing could stop true love. she refused her cousin’s proposal and went back to the thornfield
hall, only to find that this place was burned and rochestor lost his one hand along with one eye. in the end, her dream came true.
as is known to all, jane is an example of women. she is so kind, beautiful and independent. she is kind of tenacious. when she was living with her aunt, every time she was bullied or treated unjustly, she would resist rather than resort. and her very character usually made her in trouble. however, i’m for her reaction. because what if we take it for granted that we should be abused? the biggest advantage of her may be her self-respect, or her high moralities. when she heard that rochestor had a wife, it occurred to her that she must leave him, though his wife was mad and he didn’t love her any more. in fact, she didn’t need to leave him in that case. no one would blame her. but she herself would feel restless and blame herself. so she left in the midnight without hesitation. we cannot imagine how much she wanted to have her own family. from this we can see she was so moral that she did not allow herself to be the third person. it is her high moralities that made him change. like himself said, ‘fresh and healthy, without soil or taint. i’m
sure she will regenerate me with a vengeance.’ we can infer that the fire by his frantic wife was the punishment for the cynicism early in his life. and jane’s goodness could pure his dark soul.
jane is pure, beautiful and persistent, which i appreciate very much. and i hope to be that kind of people in the future.

《简爱》英文读后感9
Today, reading Jane Eyre makes me feel the tragic fate of Jane Eyre and the spirit of her brave pursuit.
This book mainly tells us that Jane Eyre lost her parents when she was young, and she was fostered in her aunts house. With all her efforts, she still couldnt please her aunt. Later, she was sent to charity and studied hard under extremely bad conditions. After graduating from charity, Jane Eyre summoned up courage to meet the new life. When she was employed as a tutor at Thornfields manor, she fell in love with a secret that had been concealed for 15 years, which made the wedding impossible. Jane Eyre gave up and began a new life.
Reading this book, I was not only suffering for the tragic fate of the public, but also shocked by her spirit of not giving up. Jane Eyre is the most ordinary, but also has courage, love and dignity.
《简爱》英文读后感10
Jane Eyre, a classic western work, is an outstanding womans history of fighting against the darkness and oppression of the society if it is described in the terms of the proletariat in the East. If it is used in culture again__ Because of the limitation of times and regions, the progressive women have their class limitation.
As a woman, Jane Eyres life was not the lowest level in the society at that time. She did not cook her own meals or wash her own clothes. Whether she lived in Lede mansion, boarding school, sandrfi or swamp house, she would have servants or laborers around her. No matter those people despise her or are kind to her, she has never done anything for a servant or a working people. She also said that she would not agree to live such a humble life for the sake of dignity.

《简爱》英文读后感12
The Almost all women love foreign literature, like D Charlottes 'in love'.If we think that Charlotte is only just to write this section of tangled up love to write 'love'.I think, sorry, thats not correct.The author also is a female, living in turbulent England in the middle of the nineteenth Century, when the thoughts have a brand new start.And in 'Jane love' in infiltration is the largest such thoughts -- womens sense of independence.Let us imagine, if Jane love independent, has been killed in his childhood; if she did not share the independent, she already and wife Rochester to live together, began to have money, a new life; if she is not that the purity, we are now in the hands of 'Jane love' is no longer a touching tears classic.So, I began to think, why 'Jane love' let us be moved, fondle admiringly -- she is independent personality, beckoning personality charm.
However, we cant help wanting to ask, only this step can be independent?I think I wont.After all, womens independence is a long-term process, not accomplish at one stroke.It needs a thorough courage, love was like Jane decided to leave Rochester, need 'wind rustling Xi the Yi River is so cold, strong earth to did not return' heroic and courage.I think, this should be the most crucial one step, also should be the decisive step towards independence.And Charlottes Jane love but her stubborn disposition, independent personality left us a moved.
So she is successful, happy women. a thorough courage, love was like Jane decided to leave Rochester, need 'wind rustling Xi the Yi River is so cold, strong earth to did not return' heroic and courage.I think, this should be the most crucial one step, also should be the decisive step towards independence.And Charlottes Jane love but her stubborn disposition, independent personality left us a moved.So she is successful, happy women. Jane love has as an independent womens classic, I hope the sun, the flowers more Jane love out, whether poor or rich,; whether beauty, or homely, have good heart and enrich the mind, can the independent personality and a strong sexual life.
《简爱》英文读后感13
Recently, I have reading the book "Jane Eyre”。 Although I forgot some details in the book, Jane gave me deeply impression, I admire her very much. After that the teacher also told us to put the play in to a movie, and then we all can touch each hero’s soul in the book. The play it mainly tell us how Jane is growing up when suffering from great difficulties and painless. whats more, it is impressed me that she still love her master even if he is blind at last due to rescue his mad wife. And I like the Classic lines what Jane said to Mr. Rochester :"Do you think I can stay to become nothing to you? Do you think I am an automaton?--a machine without feelings? and can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips, and my drop of living water dashed from my cup? Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong!--I have as much soul as you,--and full as much heart! And 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. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh;--it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at Gods feet, equal,--as we are!" its so beautiful, Jane is a girl who will never lose confidence in life and always sensible when handling with some motional problems. Jane was huge in my heart. She can control her life and fate. She knew how to continue her life and she got it!
Maybe after what she told me I have known that what love is and how to love and to be loved! The book is a book worth of reading, so all in all let’s enjoy it!
《简爱》英文读后感14
Jane Eyre gives me much useful inspiration after reading it.
I respect Jane Eyre's independence and I am most impressed by the true love between jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester who was a poor blind man, twenty years older than her. Jane Eyre never felt herself inferior as a tutor before Mr. Rochester and gained an equal status. She had lofty sentiments and was pure in mind.
She had not been contaminated by common customs, so was attracted by her independent personality and falling love with her. In the story, Jane Eyre dismissed the chaise and driver with the double remuneration, which reflected her determination to come back to Mr. Rochester. She did not know whether Mr. Rochester was really there, but she still groped about in the twilight and came to the desolate house.
She missed him that much. She only hoped that Mr Rochester let her live with him even if she found Mr Rochester blind and mutilated. Mr rochester became extremely excited when he heard and felt his beloved Jane was still living.
He suggested that Jane marry one of the other young men because he thought himself as a sightless block. But he also showed his jealousy when Jane talked about St. John's proposing marriage. All in all, Mr. Rochester was always loving Jane deeply. Mr. Rochester once exclaimedJane,Jane!Janeand Jane heared Rochester's voice calling to her. Her voice replied,I am coming. Wait for me I think these are the call of love and the answer of love.
Later on, after their marriage, miraculously regained his sight and lived happily with Jane. Personally, love can fasten the hearts of lovers tightly. Love is beyond time and space and the miracle of love can lead prayers to become reality.
