In Gatsby's House, young Jane Eyre is a girl born with rebellious spirit. She was born to resist oppression. When the tyrannical john reid watched.
When her brother bullied and beat her, Jane Eyre was not afraid of rape and angrily denounced: "You are so vicious and cruel. You look like a murderer! " "prejudice against aunt reed
Arrogantly, she hit the nail on the head and pointed out: "People think you are a good woman, but in fact you are very bad and cruel." When punished and locked in the red house, Jane Eyre
Send out: "unfair! This is not fair! " The cry of love. Young Jane's resistance comes from nature and from a vague understanding of the concept that "people should be equal". Just like a seedling under a boulder or a small tree in a hurricane, resistance is spontaneous but helpless and confused. As she said, "How scared my soul is! What a mess my whole mind is! My whole heart wants to resist! " However, this spiritual struggle is only a natural struggle, not the result of rational thinking.
Second, Larwood Charity School-rational thinking
Lowood School is the first time that Jane Eyre has faced the world outside Aunt Reed's home. Here, we can not only see the darkness of the so-called charity school and Brock.
More importantly, we find that Jane Eyre's thought has matured, and this ideological maturity comes from the acquisition of knowledge. After broadening her horizons, what she denounced was no longer Aunt Reed, the hypocritical representative of the bourgeoisie who bullied her, but a broader social environment. With the help of her mentor and friends like Miss Temple and helen burns, she gradually transformed her fighting spirit into rational thinking. The author not only praised helen burns's noble and kind character, but also compared her obedience and forbearance with Jane Eyre's courage to resist. Helen burns was beaten for a trifle, which Jane Eyre thought was unbearable. She said angrily, "if I were you, I would resist her;" If she hits me with that pointer, I will snatch it from her hand and break it in front of her. " It shows her stubborn character, unwilling to be humiliated and unwilling to compromise with fate. However, Helen used words from the Bible to teach Jane to return good for evil. "Since she can't escape, there is no way; Say that you can't stand fate, but you are destined to endure weakness and stupidity. " [2] Helen had no hatred under the paralysis of religion, but she had to give in to it. Jane Eyre is very surprised at this. She can't understand this theory of tolerance. But at this point, she no longer instinctively resisted. During this period, she learned a lot of knowledge and tried to find out the causes of inequality in essence. Of course, due to the author's own limitations, this kind of exploration failed to go deep. Another person who deeply influenced Jane Eyre was Miss Temple. Helen is a friend of Jane Eyre. As a supervisor and teacher, Miss Temple, like her mother and partner, has exerted a profound and comprehensive influence on her. This influence is gradually imperceptible in words and deeds. In Jane Eyre's eyes, Miss Temple "always appears calm and dignified. This makes her never fall into fanaticism, excitement and impatience. " Jane Eyre learned many excellent qualities from Miss Temple, such as profound thoughts and delicate feelings. Miss Temple is an ideal female image, which represents the combination of knowledge and reason, and also directly brings the intense rational elements in Jane Eyre's character.
Helen and Miss Temple played a decisive role in Jane Eyre's character trend. Jane Eyre has formed a good character of tolerance, patience and self-denial in her study and life at Lowood School, and at the same time has a wealth of knowledge. Her unique personality is initially formed and externalized in her words and deeds. She never wanted to exchange the poverty of Larwood school for the daily luxury and luxury of Gatzled House, and quoted Solomon's words to explain her thoughts and feelings: "Eat vegetarian dishes."
Third, Thornfield House-Freedom of Nature
When Miss Temple left Lowood School, Jane Eyre had no reason to stay. "There seems to be a pillar has been removed, quite like a..
Power has been lost. "She shouted in her heart," I yearn for freedom, I yearn for freedom, and I even pray for freedom. " The impulse to pursue happiness and take risks sprouted in her heart again. Jane Eyre called it "exploring the true meaning of life" [3]. From these aspects, we can see that Jane Eyre has matured, and she can follow the guidance of nature and boldly pursue freedom and happiness. Thornfield House made Jane Eyre a real success.
There is no lack of ridicule for snobbery and hypocrisy in this description, but Jane Eyre and Rochester's love experience dominate.
Jane Eyre's view of love deepened her personality. She believes that love should be based on spiritual equality and should not depend on social status, wealth and appearance. Only when men and women really love each other can they get real happiness. In the pursuit of personal happiness, Jane Eyre is pure and brave. She was not ashamed of her servant status and gave up the pursuit of happiness. Her love is pure and noble. Because she doesn't value Mr. Rochester's wealth and status, "equality" is her first condition. Her famous classic sentence reflects her thoughts: "Do you think that because I am poor, humble, unattractive and short, I have no soul and no heart? You think wrong! My soul is the same as yours, my heart is the same as yours! If God gives me a little beauty and a little wealth, I will make it as hard for you to leave me as it is for me to leave you now. I am talking to you now, not through customs and conventions, or even through mortal bodies-but my soul is talking to your soul; Just as we all passed through the grave, we will stand before God equally-because we are equal! " This attitude is consistent with her rebellious character. Her love is dignified, not begging for pity. Although her feelings are strong and unrestrained, she will not give up her demand for equality, because only love based on equality is true, free and pure love. Only when Rochester meets her demands for equality will she marry him. For Rochester, Jane Eyre is like a fresh wind. Rochester has long been tired of the cold hypocrisy of the upper class, and Jane Eyre's simplicity, kindness and independence have rekindled his pursuit and yearning for life, so he can sincerely express his kind wishes and determination to change in front of Jane Eyre. What we see here is a poor and low status. However, she is a female teacher with high moral character, outstanding temperament, arrogant attitude, self-respect and self-love, and constant self-improvement. When she faced Mrs. Guo, she kept her usual resistance when she was unfamiliar with Mr. Rochester. But when Mr. Rochester's "friendly and frank" attitude cleared the gap between them, Jane Eyre put down her heart and fell in love with him deeply. At the same time, her frankness, innocence, unusual temperament and rich emotional world also won Mr. Rochester's heart. Their love is a complete tacit understanding of thought, talent, quality and spirit. Therefore, the article enters a relaxed and happy description, and Jane Eyre can finally show her innocent nature and enjoy the happiness and sweetness of love freely.
If the story ends with her wedding with Mr. Rochester in the church, I'm afraid it's just a mediocre work. At the wedding, the mountain peaks stand out, May.
Sen's interference and the origin of crazy woman made her happiness go up in smoke. Another choice was before her. Rochester is no longer the person she can love freely. Feeling cheated and insulted, her fighting spirit rose again. She resolutely left Thornfield House and chose to wander in the cold and hunger. It is inevitable for her to make such a decision, because she is still the Jane who has a strong rebellious spirit, the Jane who demands equality, and the Jane who maintains personal dignity.
Fourth, the home of St. John-the fear of human nature
However, when she was desperate and was taken in by the St. John family who lived in the swamp, things changed again: St. John, a religious fanatic, pestered Jane Eyre and proposed to her. Jane Eyre, who is born to pursue happiness and freedom, can't understand and obey this completely inhuman will, because they don't love each other, which is just a kind of martyrdom. However, St. John kept saying that this was an act of God. Under the mental pressure of "theocracy", her rebellious spirit in human nature was shaken and her courage in human nature retreated. She even said that she could marry him as long as she believed it was God's will. At this time, Jane Eyre, helpless and confused, can only pray to God: "Show me the way, show me the way." Jane, who dared to resist and was not afraid of any power, disappeared and was replaced by a loyal believer. We regret to see that some excellent qualities are being lost.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) returns to Thornfield House-compromise of position
When Jane Eyre gave the decision of fate to God, the symbol of mysticism came into being. She seemed to hear Rochester's three fateful calls, which were later confirmed in their conversation. Thus, Jane Eyre and Rochester seem to come together under the arrangement of God. The process of Jane Eyre's departure and return is also the process of the heroine's position from struggle to compromise. Jane Eyre is the representative of women's pursuit of equality and happiness. As a fighter against unjust social reality, Jane Eyre gradually faded out of people's sight. At the end of the story, Jane Eyre inherited a large fortune and became a rich lady. Not only can she give money to the St. John brothers and sisters to live a good life, but she can also return to Thornfield House with her head held high. Because Mr. Rochester was bankrupt and blind at this time, their status was reversed, and Jane Eyre became the material winner. At this time, they were able to get together through thick and thin. However, the critical power of realism in the article has been weakened. The author bases Jane Eyre's happiness on money. Jane Eyre finally entered the ranks of the bourgeoisie she initially resisted and made a compromise to the social order she had been complaining about.
Generally speaking, Jane Eyre is a woman who can't stand social oppression, dares to struggle and pursues personal happiness-both her poor social status and her wandering life experience are the true portrayal of the life of the British lower class at that time. The author depicts an awakening new female image from the lower class, and enthusiastically praises her spirit of resisting oppression and social prejudice, striving for independent personality and dignity, and pursuing a happy life.
