对我产生了什么影响?通过回答上述问题,
你可能就知道

On
Jane Eyre
Reading
Jane
Eyre
is
a
process
full
of
pleasure
and
motivation.
The
heroine,
Jane Eyre, succeeds
in conquering millions of readers by her virtue,
consistence and reason. To make Jane’s
extraordinary romance with
ter a break
from routine, Charlotte Bronte managers to connect
Jane with an “ordinary” aspirant and
ter 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
ter
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
comes a
cross Jane’s stable refusal.
These
plots
are
expected
to
get
out
of
a
conventional
stereotype
that
appearance
and possession count most. In
Jane 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
fa?ade
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
contr
ibutes 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.
