　　Jane Eyre — A Beautiful Soul

　　Jane Eyre， is a poor but aspiring， small in body but huge in soul， obscure but self-respecting girl. After we close the covers of the book， after having a long journey of the spirit， Jane Eyre， a marvelous figure， has left us so much to recall and to think:

　　We remember her goodness: for someone who lost arms and blinded in eyes， for someone who despised her for her ordinariness， and even for someone who had hurt her deeply in the past.

　　We remember her pursuit of justice. It’s like a companion with the goodness. But still， a virtuous person should promote the goodness on one side and must check the badness on the other side.

　　We remember her self-respect and the clear situation on equality. In her opinion， everyone is the same at the God’s feet. Though there are differences in status、in property and also in appearance， but all the human being are equal in personality.

　　We also remember her striving for life， her toughness and her confidence…

　　When we think of this girl， what she gave us was not a pretty face or a transcendent temperament that make us admire deeply， but a huge charm of her personality.

　　Actually， she wasn’t pretty， and of course， the ordinary appearance didn’t make others feel good of her， even her own aunt felt disgusted with it. And some others even thought that she was easy to look down on and to tease， so when Miss Ingram met Jane Eyre， she seemed quite contemptuous， for that she was obviously much more prettier than ‘the plain and ugly governess’. But as the little governess had said: ‘Do you think， because I am poor， obscure， plain， and little， I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong!’ This is the idea of equality in Jane Eyre’s mind. God hadn’t given her beauty and wealth， but instead， God gave her a kind mind and a thinking brain. Her idea of equality and self-respect impress us so much and let us feel the power inside her body.

　　In my mind， though a person’s beauty on the face can make others once feel that one is attractive and charming， if his or her mind isn’t the same beautiful as the appearance， such as beauty cannot last for， when others find that the beauty which had charmed them was only a falsity， it’s not true， they will like the person no more. For a long time， only a person’s GREat virtue， a noble soul， a beautiful heart can be called as AN EVERLASTING BEAUTY， just as Kahill Gibran has said， that ‘Beauty is a heart enflamed and a soul enchanted’. I can feel that how beauty really is， as we are all fleshly men， so we can’t distinguish whether a man is of nobleness or humbleness， but fleshly men， so we can’t distinguish whether a man is of nobleness or humbleness， but as there are great differences in our souls， and from that， we can know that whether a man is noble or ordinary， and even obscure， that is， whether he is beautiful or not.

　　An Analysis of Jane Eyre

　　The novel is rich in poetry, symbolism and metaphor. It does not fit easily into a definite pattern, being neither a novel of "manners" in the tradition of Austen, or a straightforward Gothic Romance in www.duhougan.com the style of Mrs Radcliffe. What Charlotte Bronte did was to create a work which cleverly blends elements of the two styles, and which remains uniquely independent of them at the same time, since it addresses issues which were at the time rather controversial.

　　The novel is written in the first person, and thus magnifies the central character - the reader enters the world of Jane Eyre and is transported through her experiences at first hand. This at once makes the work subjective, especially since we know that Charlottes Brontes own life and experiences were so closely interwoven with the heroine's. As well as this we learn only at the end of the novel that the events are being related to us ten years after the reconciliation with Rochester - thus the narrative is RETROSPECTIVE (looking back). CB is clever in blending the narrative so that at times Jane seems to be speaking as an adult with adult hindsight , while at others she she is "in the middle" of them, as a child or young woman. The indecision which is a central issue in the book, is heightened by this device. We never know, as readers, whether to be entirely trustful of Janes actions and thoughts, because we are never sure wheher she is speaking impulsively or maturely.

　　This intensifies the readers dilemma as to what is "right" and "wrong" in the dramatic relationships which are part of JE's life. Can we believe what the heroine says, or is she deceiving herself? The novel is primarily a love story and a "romance" where wishes come true but only after trials and suffering. The supernatural has its place, as do dreams, portents and prophesies. The heroine begins poor and lonely and ends up rich and loved; the orphan finds a good family to replace the wicked one; all the basic ingredients of classic romantic fairytale are present.

　　The romantic element is present in two forms in Jane Eyre; the "family" aspect is dealt with in the Gateshead, Lowood and Moor House episodes, which involve the exchanging of the wicked Reed family for the benevolent Rivers one; and the Love romance is dealt with in the Thornfield and Ferndean episodes. Both aspects are, of course linked and interwoven throughout the novel.

　　There is also a strong element of realism in the novel, which, married to the romantic aspect, enhances the novel's strength.The sense of place is very strong; we are able to experience both exterior and interior settings with startling clarity throughout the story, in a series of vivid deive passages. The central characters are also realistic and their confrontations and sufferings change them in a believable way.

　　Even the unlikely is made plausible, with a unique blend of high drama and perceptive low comedy (the attack on Mason, for instance)

　　The more fantastic romantic aspects; the coincidences; the secrets; the supernatural occurrences, are balanced by the realism, and this is of course a major strength.

　　The Gothic influence cannot be ignored, although CB has refined the technique considerably from the "authentic" Gothic of the 1790's. In the original genre, the heroine would typically be abducted and threatened with seduction, or worse!. There would be a lover - a respectable, well-bred young man - who would endeavor to rescue the heroine and would succeed after many trial. the seducer would be a brigand "Know that I adore Corsairs!" and he would lock the girl up in a remote castle.

　　There was little freedom for middle class women during the period of the Gothic novel, and this was still the case in the time of CB. Marriage especially was often a bargain, whereby fortunes were secured by using the female as a pawn. A woman's value largely depended therefore on her sexual purity and she was guarded and secured as a result. Men, on the contrary, were potent and free; lovers and mistresses were common. Ironically the women who provided their services were social outcasts as a result.

　　In Jane Eyre we see elements of the Gothic romance, in that Thornfield Hall and Rochester are described very much in the brigand/castle style BUT Jane Eyre is not abducted by R. On the contrary she chooses to go there of her own free will. AND she is clear in her determination to have Rochester as a husband. Neither is there a gentleman rescuer; St John Rivers may look like a Greek God, but he is neither kind nor benevolent; driving Jane back to Ferndean, not rescuing her from it.

　　The trials which the hero is supposed to undergo in a Gothic romance are in fact undergone by the heroine in Jane Eyre. The bandit Rochester is only skin-deep. Underneath the brooding exterior is a sensitive soul, which a WOMAN frees. In this way we see that CB created rather a daring departure from conventional fiction, although there are still many aspects of the novel which remain true to Victorian convention.

　在世界文学史上,有许多经典名著将要永垂不朽,但象简爱一样深深地进入人们的灵魂,它以不可抗拒的美感吸引了成千上万的读者,影响了人们的精神世界.这部小说是我十五年前所看,至今记忆犹新.

　　<简爱>是一部带有自传体性质的小说,它阐释了这样一个主题:人的价值===尊严+爱 .

　　<简爱>的作者夏洛蒂,勃朗特和<呼嚍山庄>的作者艾米莉是姐妹.虽然两人生活在同一家庭和社会环境,但是性格却大不相同,勃朗特性格更温柔,追求并向往一切美好的东西.她自小失去了母爱,得到的父爱也很少,她自身的外貌瘦小,也不漂亮,简爱的外形完全是勃朗特的写照.勃朗勃也许就因为自身外貌的不显眼,造成了她灵魂深处的深深自卑,反映在她的性格上的就是敏感的自尊.似敏感的自尊作为她自卑的补偿.

　　她笔下描写的简爱是一个不美的矮小的女人,但有着极强的自尊心,她坚定不移地追求着,光明的,圣洁的,美好的生活.

　　简爱生活在一个自小父母双亡,寄人篱下的环境,还要受表兄妹的欺辱.舅妈不加掩饰的鄙视.到了寄宿学校,还要受老师不公正的待遇.正是这一切,让简爱炼就了,坚强不屈的自信的精神,使得罗彻斯特为之震撼.并把她看作一位可以和自己精神平等交谈的人.并且慢慢地深深爱上了她,他的真心,让她感动,可是在结婚地那一天,却得知罗另有一位患精神病的夫人还生活在同一座楼上顶层.,她觉得她必须得离开.她这样讲:"我要遵从上帝颁发世人认可的法律,我要坚守住,我在清醒时,而不是象现在这样疯狂时所接受的原则."

　　这也是简爱所告诉罗彻斯特她必须离开他的理由:"我要牢牢守住这个立场"更深一层的是简爱觉得自己受到了自己所信任人的欺骗.试问哪个女人,能够承受住自己受最亲密,最信任的爱人的欺骗.在这样的情况下,简爱还作出了一个非常理性的决定.在这样一个有着非常力量的爱情的包围下,还有富裕的生活诱惑之下,她依然要坚持自已个人的尊严.

　　这是简爱最具个人魅力的地方.

　　小说设计了一个很光明的结尾.罗彻斯特的庄园毁了,他本人也成了一个残废..在这样的情况下,简爱不再在尊严和爱之间矛盾.而同时获得满足-------她和罗彻斯特的结婚是有尊严的,同时也是有爱的.

　　小说告诉我们,人们最美好的生活就是尊严加爱.小说的结局按排的这是这样一种生活.虽然我觉得这样的结局过于完美,这样的完美有点浮浅..但我依然尊重作者对这种生活的美好理想.就是-------尊严加爱.

　　在现代的社会中,很少有人会象简爱一样,为爱情,为人格而抛弃所有,而且义无反顾.追求的全心付出,而且纯净的犹如一杯冰水.......
