我现在也想要啊

1 简爱性格分析The Independent Spirit——about“ Jane Eyer”This is a story about a special and unreserved woman who has been exposed to a hostile environment but continuously and fearlessly struggling for her ideal life. The story can be interpreted as a symbol of the independent spirit.It seems to me that many readers’ English reading experience starts with Jane Eyer. I am of no exception. As we refer to the movie “Jane Eyer”, it is not surprising to find some differences because of its being filmized and retold in a new way, but the spirit of the novel remains----to be an independent person, both physically and mentally.Jane Eyer was a born resister, whose parents went off when she was very young, and her aunt，the only relative she had，treated her as badly as a ragtag. Since Jane’s education in Lowwood Orphanage began, she didn’t get what she had been expecting——simply being regarded as a common person, just the same as any other girl around. The suffers from being humiliated and devastated teach Jane to be persevering and prize dignity over anything else.As a reward of revolting the ruthless oppression, Jane got a chance to be a tutor in Thornfield Garden. There she made the acquaintance of lovely Adele and that garden’s owner, Rochester, a man with warm heart despite a cold face outside. Jane expected to change the life from then on, but fate had decided otherwise: After Jane and Rochester fell in love with each other and got down to get marry, she unfortunately came to know in fact Rochester had got a legal wife, who seemed to be the shadow following Rochester and led to his moodiness all the time ----Rochester was also a despairing person in need of salvation. Jane did want to give him a hand, however, she made up her mind to leave, because she didn’t want to betray her own principles, because she was Jane Eyer. The film has finally got a symbolist end: Jane inherited a large number of legacies and finally returned. After finding Rochester’s misfortune brought by his original mad wife, Jane chose to stay with him forever.I don’t know what others feel, but frankly speaking, I would rather regard the section that Jane began her teaching job in Thornfield as the film’s end----especially when I heard Jane’s words “Never in my life have I been awaken so happily.” For one thing, this ideal and brand-new beginning of life was what Jane had been imagining for long as a suffering person; for another, this should be what the audiences with my views hoped her to get. But the professional judgment of producing films reminded me to wait for a totally different result: There must be something wrong coming with the excellence----perhaps not only should another section be added to enrich the story, but also we may see from the next transition of Jane’s life that “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you would get.” (By Forrest Gump’s mother, in the film “Forrest Gump”)What’s more, this film didn’t end when Jane left Thornfield. For Jane Eyer herself, there should always be somewhere to realize her great ideal of being independent considering her fortitude, but for Rochester, how he can get salvation? The film gives the answer tentatively: Jane eventually got back to Rochester. In fact, when Jane met Rochester for the first time, she scared his horse and made his heel strained, to a certain extent, which meant Rochester would get retrieval because of Jane. We can consider Rochester’s experiences as that of religion meaning. The fire by his frantic wife was the punishment for the cynicism early in his life. After it, Rochester got the mercy of the God and the love of the woman whom he loved. Here we can say: human nature and divinity get united perfectly in order to let such a story accord with the requirements of both two sides. The value of this film may be due to its efforts to explore a new way for the development of humanism under the faith of religion.作者： 202.114.23.* 2006-1-2 20:45 回复此发言--------------------------------------------------------------------------------2 简爱性格分析Life is ceaselessly changing, but our living principles remain. Firmly persisting for the rights of being independent gives us enough confidence and courage, which is like the beacon over the capriccioso sea of life. In the world of the film, we have found the stories of ourselves, which makes us so concerned about the fate of the dramatis personae.In this era of rapid social and technological change leading to increasing life complexity and psychological displacement, both physical and mental effects on us call for a balance. We are likely to find ourselves bogged down in the Sargasso Sea of information overload and living unconsciousness. It’s our spirit that makes the life meaningful.二、An Analysis of Jane EyreThe 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 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.作者： 202.114.23.* 2006-1-2 20:45 回复此发言--------------------------------------------------------------------------------3 简爱性格分析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 de脚本ive 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.

本论文尝试从性别文化政治的角度来重新诠释简爱中性别的议题。阐述在维多利亚时 期的父权社会中，女主角简爱如何反抗当时的女性理想形象、反抗父权论述实践，及挑战 当时的性别权利关系。 第一章回顾国内外有关简爱的评论文章，并从中找出了重新阅读此小说的理由。其一 ，简爱是否颠覆当时传统的女性角色一直备受讨论但是尚无定论；其二，至今有关小说中 性别是透过什么样的文化机制形塑而成，且简爱如何反抗性别主体的过程尚未有健全的讨 论。因此，本论文采用Weedon和Jordan的性别文化政治及Foucault的权利观念来探讨小说 中性别形塑的问题，及简爱对维多利亚性别主体的反动。 第二章再现维多利亚女性理想意象，以便与夏绿蒂对简爱的描绘做一比较。简爱这一角 色的描绘可说是与当时女性理想形象背道而驰，因此夏绿蒂与简爱受到相当多人的批评。 批评者控诉他们颠覆维多利亚的社会价值观及女性理想形象；无可否认，这些控诉正证明 简爱颠覆了当时传统的女性角色。 第三章举例说明家庭、学校，及宗教这三个文化机制如何透过论述实践、纪律、与惩罚 来形塑简爱成为一个性别主体。此外，这一章节也展现简爱如何反抗这些形塑力量。 第四章主要论述简爱如何抵抗Rochester 及St. John的诱惑，而不至于成为Rochester 的情妇及St. John有名无实的妻子，并阐述简爱如何寻找到自我，成为自己的主人而 非Rochester及St. John的他者。此外，这一章将Bertha诠释为维多利亚时代性压迫下一个 被压制的主体；但这并不表示Bertha就毫无权力可言，她透过暴力来展现对父权的反抗。 第五章摘要了前几章的重点，并指出这本小说尚可探讨的空间。本论文只着重性别议题 的讨论，而忽略阶级及种族的议题。基于Weedon及Jordan的观点，性别、阶级及种族都是 文化建构的产品，他们促成了不同与不平。因此，这本小说中阶级及种族议题也可从文化 政治的角度来加以探讨。

简爱的性格分析！！推荐！！ 论简爱的爱情观 十九世纪中期，英国伟大的女性存在主义先驱，著名作家夏洛蒂勃朗特创作出了她的代表作--《简爱》，当时轰动了整个文坛，直到现在它的影响还继续存在。在作品的序幕、发展、高潮和结尾中，女主人公的叛逆、自由、平等、自尊、纯洁的个性都是各个重点章节的主旨，而这些主旨则在女主人公的爱情观中被展露的淋漓尽致，它们如同乌云上方的星汉，灼灼闪耀着光芒，照亮着后来的女性者们追求爱情的道路。 从小就成长在一个充满暴力的环境中的简爱，经历了同龄人没有的遭遇。她要面对的是舅妈的毫无人性的虐待，表兄的凶暴专横和表姐的傲慢冷漠，尽管她尽力想“竭力赢得别人的好感”，但是事实告诉她这都是白费力气的，因此她发出了“不公平啊！--不公平！”的近乎绝望的呼喊。不公平的生长环境，使得简爱从小就向往平等、自由和爱，这些愿望在她后来的成长过程中表现无疑，譬如在她的爱情观中的种种体现。 A．桑菲尔德府 谭波儿小姐因为出嫁，离开了洛伍德学校，同时也离开了简爱，这使简爱感觉到了“一种稳定的感觉，一切使我觉得洛伍德学校有点像我家的联想，全都随着她消失了”，她意识到：真正的世界是广阔的，一个充满希望和忧虑、激动和兴奋的变化纷呈的天地，正等待着敢于闯入、甘冒风险寻求人生真谛的人们。意识形态的转变促使着简爱走向更广阔的社会，接受社会的挑战，尽管她才只有十八岁。于是，简爱来到了桑菲尔德府，当了一名在当时地位不高的家庭教师。 桑菲尔德府使简爱感受到“这儿有想象中的完美无缺的家庭安乐气氛”，事实证明了她的预感的正确性，后来她成了罗切斯特的妻子，果真成了这个家庭中的成员。这个家的主人叫罗切斯特，他是个苦命的人，顽固的封建伦理道德酿成了罗切斯特的不幸婚姻。他大学毕业后，在父亲的安排下，他娶了心胸庸俗，狭窄的梅森小姐为妻，尽管美森的外表靓丽，然而她的脾气确实极端的坏，她与罗切斯特的志趣格格不入，罗切斯特痛苦地感觉到“我们之间根本无法进行亲切的交谈，因为不管我谈起什么话题马上就会从她那儿听到既粗俗又陈腐、既乖张又愚蠢的回答”，罗切斯特是一个爱好广泛的高等知识分子，尤其爱好唱歌和交际，而现在他却要在这么一个妻子面前得到种种的限制，因此他倍感痛苦不堪。更加可怕的是，结婚四年之后，美森竟然发疯了，为什么会发疯？因为她的恣意妄为和不可一世。当一个人的性格坏到把自己都逼疯的程度，我们可以知道生活在她周围的人所受到的煎熬，其中程度最深的当然是罗切斯特，他对简爱说：“在我26岁的时候那年，我就对生活感到绝望了。” 绝望的罗切斯特离开了英国，去了欧洲大陆，为了寻找一个能够爱上他的善良聪明的女子。然而命运又是如此的捉弄人，在漫游欧洲的十年当中，他的渴望一次又一次的落空，已经彻底绝望的他甚至堕落为寻找情妇以发泄心中的极端郁闷。最后，形单影只的罗切斯特带着一个要寻找一个聪明、忠实而钟情的女子为妻的梦想回到了桑菲尔德府。我们发现作者特意安排了这么一个场景，在罗切斯特回府的路上，刚好碰到了外出办事的简爱，并且得到了简爱的帮助，这预示罗切斯特将来的生活离不开简爱了，可见作者的用心良苦。 当罗切斯特第一次看到简爱时，他就感到了“有一种全新的东西，一种新的活力和新的感觉，不知不觉传便了我的全身”。这种新的感觉其实就是罗切斯特的真爱之梦将成为现实，这种感觉和简爱所预见的感觉一样，也是正确的。从和简爱相见、相识到相爱的过程当中，简爱的那种叛逆精神、自强自尊的品质深深地征服了罗切斯特，而罗切斯特的优雅风度和渊博知识同样也征服了简爱。最初开始，简爱一直以为罗切斯特会娶高贵漂亮的英格拉姆为妻，她在和罗切斯特谈到婚姻时，曾经义正言辞的对罗切斯特说：“你以为因为我穷，低微，不美，矮小，就没有灵魂了吗？你想错了！我跟你一样有灵魂—也同样有一颗心！我现在不是凭着肉体凡胎跟你说话，而是我的心灵在和你的心灵说话，就好像我们都已经离开人世，两人平等地站在上帝面前—因为我们本来就是平等的。”这充分表现出简爱的叛逆，她这种维护妇女独立人格、主张婚姻独立自主以及男女平等的主张可以看成是他对整个人类社会自由平等的向往追求，罗切斯特正是爱上了她这样的独特个性，同时他也同样重复道：我们本来就是平等的。罗切斯特自始自终爱的是简爱的心灵—有着意志的力量，美德和纯洁的心灵，正是基于如此，简爱才真正的爱着罗切斯特。因为爱情是来不得半点虚假的，一方为另一方付出了真情的爱，假如得到对方的是虚情假意，那么这份爱情也就预示着快要结束了。简爱对罗切斯特的真爱，正好弥补了罗切斯特前半生耽误的青春和感情，同时也使自己的美好爱情得到了实现。我们可以说：简爱的爱情是伟大又平凡的。说她伟大，是因为她爱罗切斯特没有带任何的功利色彩，当她后来离开桑菲尔德府孤单一人漫无目的的出走时，她没有从府里拿任何的东西，甚至连罗切斯特送给她的珍珠项链她都没有拿走，后来她差点就饿死在路上；说她平凡，是因为她的爱情也是普通人中的爱情。我们礼赞这样的爱情！ B．圣约翰家 简爱与罗切斯特的婚姻变故促使她离开了桑菲尔德府，离开了她心爱的罗切斯特。 经过了寒冷饥饿的折磨，无家可归的简爱终于进了她的人生的又一个驿站—圣约翰家。 艺术家为了达到自己所要达到的目的，往往会设计很多的巧合，〈〈简爱〉〉也不例外。令简爱欣喜若狂的是，偶遇到的圣约翰和他的两个妹妹：玛丽和黛丽娜竟是她的表哥、表姐，她久久未得到而又天天希望得到的亲情在瞬间转变成了现实，这种似乎只能在梦中才有的可能，不能不使简爱兴奋异常，她感到她是世界上最最幸福的人了。对于亲情的十分看重，当她从叔叔那里继承了两万英镑的遗产时，她毫不忧郁地决定和她的三个表哥、表姐平分这份遗产。可见，在简爱的眼中，钱尽管很重要，那是为了生活所需，但是比起亲情来，就显得微不足道了，这与当时一切以钱为中心的人际关系形成了鲜明的对比。她认为：我不至于自私自利到不讲情义，不讲公道到不分是非，忘恩负义到不像人样。这是她对当时的金钱社会的有力抨击和尖锐的痛恨。 圣约翰是一个知识渊博，长相英俊的传教士，但是他不会享受生活的乐趣，整天到晚和时间挑战，他认为，工作是高于一切的，甚至包括生命和爱情。对与他这种观点，简爱坚决地反对，因为简爱认为爱情是高贵的，我们不应该牺牲爱情而工作，相反，是为了爱情才工作。我们看到，简爱的这种观点是符合人性所需要的，而圣约翰的爱情观则背离了人性需求。他明明知道自己喜欢上了年轻貌美的罗莎蒙德，同样，罗莎蒙德也十分爱慕地他，并且罗莎蒙德的父亲也十分的赞同这份亲事，尽管圣约翰不是很有钱，但是他的才华和出身可以弥补这样的缺陷。然而，圣约翰为了他的伟大事业—到东方印度传教十分痛苦地压抑了这份欲望，简爱对于他的选择简直是不可思议，有爱却不敢爱，有了爱情却不敢追求，这是何等的残忍！另一方面，当圣约翰发觉简爱是一个有见识、有才智的女子的时候，他就向简爱求婚了，不是因为他爱简爱，而是因为他知道如果娶简爱为妻，对他的事业将是一个很大的帮助。我们可以肯定地推测简爱肯定是拒绝了他的求婚，她认为他珍爱我，犹如士兵珍爱一件好武器，仅此而以，嫁给圣约翰就意味着失去了平等，失去了自由，同样失去了自尊的权力，这些东西是简爱一生都梦想得到的，怎么能够为了圣约翰而放弃呢？ C．简爱的圆满爱情 简爱和罗切斯特的心灵感应又重新使他们走到了一块，尽管当简爱回到桑菲尔德府时，她面对的是一个双眼已瞎，一只手已经残废的罗切斯特，但是在简爱看来，这些都是微不足道的，只要罗切斯特爱她，她也爱罗切斯特，就已经足够了，她毅然与罗切斯特结婚，当起了罗切斯特的妻子和护士，两年以后，命运垂青了这么一对恩爱的夫妻，他们有了自己的孩子，罗切斯特的一只眼睛也恢复了视力，他们过着幸福的生活。 我们看到，简爱经过了重重的波折以后，终于实现了她向往的爱情—平等自由的爱情，而罗切斯特也找到了他梦寐以求的真爱。这样的故事结果，作者告诉我们，叛逆终归战胜顽固，自由终归战胜束缚，平等也终归战胜奴役，因为天下有情人终要成眷属！

在文学史上，有许多的经典名著将要永垂不朽，但能够像《简爱》这样深深地进入人们的灵魂，它以一种不可抗拒的美感吸引了成千上万的读者，影响着人们的精神世界，甚至对某些人来讲，影响了他们一生的作品并不很多。 《简爱》是一部带有自转色彩的长篇小说，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《呼啸山庄》的作者艾米莉是姐妹。虽然两人生活在同一社会，家庭环境中，性格却大不相同，夏洛蒂.勃朗特显得更加的温柔，更加的清纯，更加的喜欢追求一些美好的东西，尽管她家境贫穷，从小失去了母爱，父爱也很少，再加上她身材矮小，容貌不美，但也许就是这样一种灵魂深处的很深的自卑，反映在她的性格上就是一种非常敏感的自尊，以自尊作为她内心深处的自卑的补偿。她描写的简。爱也是一个不美的，矮小的女人，但是她有着极其强烈的自尊心。她坚定不移地去追求一种光明的，圣洁的，美好的生活。 简.爱生存在一个父母双亡，寄人篱下的环境，从小就承受着与同龄人不一样的待遇，姨妈的嫌弃，表姐的蔑视，表哥的侮辱和毒打......这是对一个孩子的尊严的无情践踏,但也许正是因为这一切,换回了简.爱无限的信心和坚强不屈的精神,一种可战胜的内在人格力量. 在罗切斯特的面前,她从不因为自己是一个地位低贱的家庭教师而感到自卑,反而认为他们是平等的.不应该因为她是仆人,而不能受到别人的尊重.也正因为她的正直,高尚，纯洁，心灵没有受到世俗社会的污染，使得罗切斯特为之震撼,并把她看做了一个可以和自己在精神上平等交谈的人，并且慢慢地深深爱上了她。他的真心,让她感动,她接受了他.而当他们结婚的那一天，简.爱知道了罗切斯特已有妻子时,她觉得自己必须要离开，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像现在这样疯狂时所接受的原则”，“我要牢牢守住这个立场”。这是简爱告诉罗切斯特她必须离开的理由，但是从内心讲，更深一层的东西是简爱意识到自己受到了欺，她的自尊心受到了戏弄，因为她深爱着罗切斯特,试问哪个女人能够承受得住被自己最信任,最亲密的人所欺呢?简爱承受住了,而且还做出了一个非常理性的决定.在这样一种非常强大的爱情力量包围之下，在美好，富裕的生活诱惑之下，她依然要坚持自己作为个人的尊严，这是简爱最具有精神魅力的地方。 小说设计了一个很光明的结尾－－虽然罗切斯特的庄园毁了，他自己也成了一个残废，但我们看到，正是这样一个条件，使简爱不再在尊严与爱之间矛盾，而同时获得满足－－她在和罗切斯特结婚的时候是有尊严的，同时也是有爱的。 小说告诉我们，人的最美好的生活是人的尊严加爱，小说的结局给女主人公安排的就是这样一种生活。虽然我觉得这样的结局过于完美，甚至这种圆满本身标志着浮浅，但是我依然尊重作者对这种美好生活的理想－－就是尊严加爱，毕竟在当今社会，要将人的价值＝尊严＋爱这道公式付之实现常常离不开金钱的帮助。人们都疯狂地似乎为了金钱和地位而淹没爱情。在穷与富之间选择富，在爱与不爱之间选择不爱。很少有人会像简这样为爱情为人格抛弃所有，而且义无反顾。《简爱》所展现给我们的正是一种化繁为简，是一种返朴归真，是一种追求全心付出的感觉，是一种不计得失的简化的感情，它犹如一杯冰水，净化每一个读者的心灵，同时引起读者，特别是女性读者的共鸣。
