When I first read "Jane Eyre" many years ago, what worried me was the love between Jane and Mr. Rochester; now when I read "Jane Eyre" again, I saw a self-loving girl who lived a brave and sassy life. "Jane Eyre" is the work of Charlotte Bronte, the eldest sister known as the "Three Brontë sisters" in the history of English literature, and has a very high reputation. The protagonist of the story, Jane, is a short, mediocre, poor and lowly girl. Her life trajectory is not complicated, but because of her brave struggle, she burst into a different kind of brilliance. In the twenty years of Jane's life, it is mainly divided into the following five stages. one. Foster care at Gateshead House. Jane's parents died when she was a child, and she was fostered at her uncle's house. , Unfortunately, the only uncle who loved her also passed away very early. Her aunt, who had always hated her, couldn't stand Jane's existence more and more. Finally, after Jane rebelled against her cousin who bullied her, she also had a conflict with her aunt who punished her. Jane in this period was young but had a strong self-esteem. She longed for love but was unwilling to use servility and flattery in exchange for it. She longed to be treated equally. Even though she was under the guise of others, Jane was unwilling to endure the insults and bullying of others. After she fought fiercely, her cousin, who was much stronger than her, was afraid, and even after she shouted at her aunt, "What would happen to him if he was still there?", the fierce aunt retreated. Courage and self-esteem made Jane choose to fight back, and it also changed her life. two. Boarding studies at Lowood School. The consequence of the conflict between Jane and her aunt is that she is sent to live at Lowood boarding school. Despite the harsh living conditions there, it was a whole new world for Jane. She didn't have to worry about her aunt and cousin's sudden attack from time to time, but mentally, Jane breathed a sigh of relief. More importantly, Jane met her friends Helen and Miss Temple here. During her seven years at Lowood School, Jane grew from a ten-year-old girl to a seventeen-year-old girl. During the important period of her life, Helen's erudition and peace made Jane famous, and Miss Temple's kindness and integrity protected Jane's growth well. At Lowood, Jane went from student to teacher. After Miss Temple married and left, Jane's courage returned to her throbbing heart, and her life changed for the second time when she applied for a tutor. three. Tutor life at Thornfield Manor. At Thornfield Manor, Jane met her soulmate, Mr. Rochester. Two people with a difference of twenty years, have similar souls, kindness and integrity, innocence and richness. They are attracted to each other and tempt each other. At the beginning, Jane thought that the difference between them was the difference in social status and the disparity of wealth, but after she made a brave statement and got a warm response, she discovered a more cruel fact-Mr. Rochester has a wife. , though that's a lunatic. Young Jane experienced the pain of falling from heaven to hell. Her brave self-love won her love, but she also discovered the cruel truth. Finally, Jane's self-esteem and courage allowed her to make a choice again - to run away, not to be Mr. Rochester's mistress, even if she loved him deeply! Four. Swamp-dwelling relatives. Penniless Jane wandered for three days, and was taken in by the three Rivers brothers and sisters who lived in the swamp due to hunger and cold. They have similar interests and hobbies, they are all kind and generous, and the four of them get along well. What was even more unexpected was that, by chance, the three siblings Jane and Rivers turned out to be relatives. Jane inherited a large estate from her deceased uncle, which was divided equally among three cousins. Cousin St. John wanted Jane to marry him, and then go to India together on a mission. But Jane bravely obeyed the call of her heart and went back to find out about Mr. Rochester. Fives. New life at Funding Manor. Jane was taken aback by her reunion with Mr. Rochester. Thornfield House was set on fire by Mr. Rochester's mad wife, who jumped to her death. Mr Rochester lost an eye and left hand when he was hit by a falling wooden beam while trying to save his mad wife. Jane at this time, young and wealthy, was the perfect savior of Mr. Rochester. They are married and live happily. It is true that the whole story seems to have too many coincidences, and Jane's final counterattack did not break away from the cliché of becoming a match for rich people. But as a novel written by women more than 100 years ago, I still have to admire Charlotte's courage. As she put it: I'm going to write a novel, and the heroine is as ordinary as I am, but she still has the courage to find her own happiness. Jane was born with the character of pursuing equality, self-respect and self-love, and her courageous struggle has brought a turn for her destiny again and again. It is this unique quality in her that attracts Mr. Rochester and makes Jane have a beautiful love. Don't admit fate, don't admit defeat, bravely pursue what you want! This is the quality of Jane's bones. That is why, in the face of Mr. Rochester's temptation, Jane bravely uttered the book's most famous passage. That part of the declaration of women's resistance to unfair reality: "Is it because I am poor, low, mediocre, and small, that I have no soul, no soul? - You are wrong! - I have the same soul as you. , my heart is as full as yours! If God gave me some beauty and wealth, I would also make it difficult for you to leave me, just as it is now difficult for me to leave you. I am not through custom, routine, or even mortals Flesh is talking to you, but my soul is talking to your soul, as if we were equal, passing the grave and standing at the feet of God.—because we are all equal!" , simply and neatly! A girl with courage and self-respect lives like a sassy!
