Jane Eyre, a woman whose moral sense beats love

Green 2021-12-15 08:01:14

Jane Eyre is a classic British story. It took me three days to finish reading it out of my busy schedule. The biggest impact of the full text is the heroine's innate sense of self-esteem and morality. Even if you fall in love again, facing Rochester who already has a wife, even the depth of love as deep as the sea cannot be a reason to continue staying with him for a lifetime. In the face of Rochester, who is blind and has nothing, Jane will rekindle the impulse and courage to love this man from the bottom of her heart. the reason is simple. Because at this time, this man truly belongs to him.
In fact, it has always been thought that Mr. Rochester is far less powerful than Jane Eyre. He is too cowardly. He didn't even have the courage to make choices about his marriage and love. This also set a firm fuse for his future tragic fate. He is so weak that he dare not face the reality, avoid it, and keep Jane from knowing that he still has a crazy wife. In the end, destiny is so joking. God made him fall in love with Jane Eyre who has a strong sense of self-worth and self-existence. She is a person of faith and principle. Rochester's cowardly behavior is to compete with her values ​​and worldview. As a result, Jane chose her own heart. It is inevitable to leave this man. And the subsequent return is also the female's bow to the primitiveness of emotion. Women are all emotional creatures. But I believe that if Jane returns and finds that Mr. Rochester is still with his crazy wife in his castle, no matter how fierce the emotions revealed in the man’s eyes, no matter how fierce the man’s words are. Faint. Can't move Jane Eyre's heart.
From beginning to end, what Jane Eyre has always followed is not her love for Rochester, but her own heart. It's a pity that she didn't have a good vision, and fell in love with a man who was too weak to make a choice for her own destiny.
We love someone, and maybe we can't allow ourselves to control. But we can control ourselves not to contact him. Because women should be arrogant by nature. Even love cannot be a reason to cross one's own bottom line. A woman with self-knowledge, self-esteem, and self-love, her life is to live for herself. Love someone worthy of love. Follow your own heart.
