On the Image of Jane Eyre from the Perspective of Feminism
Jane Eyre is the third time I read it. This story is familiar and relished by any girl who has read a little book. I once copied a sentence: "You think I am poor, humble and unattractive, so you think I have no soul and no heart?" The front page of a notebook is serious. When I see this sentence today, I will still think of my serious attitude and simply think of my importance. One of my classmates likes Jane Eyre. She has three different versions of Jane Eyre. She said that women should live like Jane Eyre and find a man like Rochester. My original love for Jane Eyre was related to this classmate's recommendation. I think she is a good novel, and I also think we should live like Jane Eyre. After all, in this world, rich girls are definitely not the majority, beautiful girls are only a part of so many girls, and even fewer are rich, beautiful and talented. Therefore, we are all ordinary girls like Jane Eyre, so we should all be like Jane Eyre. At that time, I bought the book Jane Eyre with dignity and wrapped it neatly. After many years, I think Jane Eyre is a simple novel and an unrealistic fairy tale love story. It's perfect. It's childish. Among them, she teaches girls how to learn fantasy, but rarely introspects, although she emphasizes how she should safeguard herself and her dignity as a woman.
Jane Eyre is a story about a girl whose parents died in a poor family. She was sent to her aunt to raise her, but she didn't get any love. Then she was sent to a missionary school to grow up, and then became a tutor in a rich family, and fell in love with the owner of the castle. Her love was fulfilled and had a perfect result.
/kloc-In the 20th century, women's writing began to appear. Before that, women's writing basically did not exist. In the world literary world, only a few women have simple poems or some epistolary works. /kloc-In the 20th century, a group of female writers, such as the Bronte sisters and Jane Austen, began to write in the form of novels. Female writing has entered a brand-new period. However, at this time, women's writing is still in a very low unrecognized position, and Jane Eyre was originally published under the pseudonym of men. At this time, feminism began to rise, and more and more women began to participate in this trend, seeking the same status as men for women. Jane Eyre is also interpreted from different angles by feminism. Today, I also look at Jane Eyre from a feminist perspective.
And feminism: this novel, which originated in the early feminist period, is considered to have obvious feminist characteristics, such as female writer and heroine. The female image is no longer an ideal desire created by men to meet men's requirements, but a woman created by women who strive for freedom and independence. Jane Eyre, the heroine in this work, is a woman who has independent thinking and strives for freedom and equality, especially love equality. She embodies the awakening of women's self-awareness, and women begin to seek their own happiness, and regard themselves as their own subject, which is no longer attached to the image of male chauvinism. However, when we analyze it with feminism, we can find these findings: Jane has many uncomfortable places in her personality performance. The image of Jane Eyre is an ideal female image, and she is still shaped according to the image that men need women. And the ending of this story has greatly reduced the equality that has been fought for so far. No matter from the standpoint of feminism or the spiritual realm of the novel, this work is a rare work that makes women introspect. It does not focus on women's social inequality reality and women's own reality to describe. She only wrote about a woman who needs to maintain her dignity and be cautious everywhere. There are serious feelings of inferiority and narcissism. The plot of women is obvious, that is, shaping women to be perfect and pure, meeting the requirements of society for perfect women and giving women in the novel a complete and perfect ending. Among them, women have many virtues and talents, love and affection, which is the image you have to love.
Feminism requires women to face up to their own reality and society to give women the same status as men. The image of women should be the subject of their own desires, not the object of men's desires. It is to create characters according to women's own needs, not according to men's requirements. However, Jane Eyre in the book obviously meets the requirements of any man for a woman. Although she has always stressed that she is not beautiful and extraordinary, these are hidden under her perfect personality. She grew up in a dark environment, her aunt's indifference and the harsh environment of boarding school made her grow into a tough little woman with self-esteem, strength and extraordinary demeanor. She understands the needs of others and knows when to show up and when to quit. She meets the requirements of men for a small jasper, asking for nothing and knowing how to love at the right time. Not only the hero, I think any man will like and fall in love with such an image, and this image is admired and worshipped by women. Most women are ordinary and poor, but not everyone has such a good ending, get perfect love, get respect and get wealth. The part that reduces the female value or literary value of this work the most is her perfect ending. I don't deny my fascination with tragedy, but I also think that a character I like can get a good ending, a smiling and reassuring ending. I hope that the protagonist will get a reasonable and helpful ending to appreciate a work. In the book, Jane Eyre finally got a rich legacy and had relatives who could love each other. She is no longer useless, but the hero has also become useless. And the author didn't finish writing love until this time. It is true that a good place to say this is that the heroine falls in love with the hero, not only because of his position, wealth and reputation, but because of him. But in this way, the heroine's sense of equal love, which was spread in the unequal position in the big space from the beginning, disappeared, and the heroine's inferiority complex could finally be released. She and he are equal, not only in love, but also in wealth status. At this time, the hero lost everything, and his wealth, health, age and status were reversed.
This work is regarded as a semi-autobiographical work. Eliot is a child of an ordinary family and has been a tutor for many times. And has been seeking to change its status. What she wants to write is "popular works are more popular than any of your (her sisters') works". So the protagonist of this work is more like an image that pleases readers.
The author's inferiority complex: There is no doubt that Jane Eyre is inferior, and people with inferiority should maintain dignity from the source and embody dignity everywhere. She is meticulous and polite. When she was a child, she dared to stand up and menstruate, dare to resist the bullying of her cousin, and dare to resist the inhuman and unfair practices in school. But when she grew up, Jane Eyre turned this resistance into self-knowledge. She became a knowledgeable person and knew how to please others. At Field Manor, he wanted to please the housekeeper, her pupils and her master, and she did all these things well. And know how to maintain your dignity in this situation.
At the same time, it is narcissism. Women in narcissistic women's works can be loved by all men and women at the same time. Women are no longer the object of injury, but the works carrying the fantasies of women and men. The women in these works are beautiful, intelligent and usually gentle and considerate. The killer weapon of the hero is tenderness and thoughtfulness plus appropriate little sexy. Men turn a blind eye to them and become their ministers without hesitation. Jane Eyre undoubtedly has this narcissistic tendency. She feels inferior and narcissistic at the same time. She knows where her beauty lies and makes good use of it. To get everyone's favor, the way she looks at others is actually vicious. Of course, the menstruation family has nothing to miss, a violent cousin and an idiot cousin. An unloving aunt. Adele, her student, is a careless and clever little thing who can please people, a simple-minded housekeeper, a ridiculous cousin John, and a mean Miss Ingram family. In the book, Jane Eyre makes proper use of her talent and brilliance, contrasts the paleness of others and becomes a little woman with a soul. Narcissism, so get perfect, works, no one is perfect, only her, shortcomings also become advantages, overwhelming also get everything.
Jane Eyre is such a work, when I try to analyze it from some feminist angles. She is related to some sources of feminism, but she is far from meeting the requirements of feminist works. At the same time, she is not a good novel. The artistic conception of a good novel, especially the mysterious and changeable atmosphere needed by Gothic novels, has also disappeared. This work is far behind Wuthering Heights in artistic achievement and becomes a popular novel. It's really like popular novels, and readers have no trees. Anyone who has read a little has read it and is sought after. It has shaped countless female images that women fantasize about, and also shaped female images that men like, which is the value of this novel today. Its status is so high that people who read novels cannot avoid it. In fact, there are many good novels, and pure novels are worth reading. Moreover, this image has become an obstacle for many women to face up to their own situation. I think I can get everything as long as I keep my self-esteem and love. Actually, it's not. In the past 100 years, feminism still faces many problems. What women don't need is fantasy but introspection, which is exactly what this work can't achieve.
