jane has spent most of her childhood in gateshead,no other than this special experience shaped her personality of brave and strong to challenge her new life.
at lowood,she was both excited and nervous about the new place she had see and the new people she had meet.life at lowood wasn`t good at the beginning.people there must believed in hard work,plain food,simple clothes and no luxury of any kind.so most of them were offish except miss temple,the headmistress of lowood school.
jane has made a friend here,the first really friend——helen burns.the girl was smart and kind-hearted but was hated by her teacher miss scatcherd and always be punished because of her “untidy and careless”.jane was so angry about that,on the contrary,helen told her:“life is too short to continue hating anyone for a long time.we all have faults,but the time will come soon when we die,when our wickedness will pass away with our bodies,leaving only the pure flame of the spirit.that`s why i never think of revenge,i never consider life unfair.i live in calm,looking forward to the end. ”
that is true,her life was too short!when jane felt she was accepted,learned to like school and set to work to learn as much as she could,make as many friends as possible,helen`s illness was much more serious than jane first thought,she had got a tuber culosis.one morning miss temple found jane asleep with helen burns dead in her arms.helen have a great effect on jane,she teached jane how to learn to love,forgive and do as the bible tells:“sometimes you have to put up with some hard things in life even if other people hurt us.”
jane stayed for eight years in lowood,for the last two as a teacher.she was busy and happy all that time,however,suddenly she realized she had never known any other world apart from lowood or gateshead.she wanted freedom, decided to change her life or at least a new master to serve.so she advertised in a newspaper for a job as a governess and then came to thornfield.
the following story is as what happened in the film sound of music.
the governess of no presence moved mr rochester with her beautiful,simplehearted and frank soul.the dialogue between jane and rochester was interesting. rochester was clever but a little peculiar,jane thought she didn`t really understand him and never sure whether he`s serious or joking.so she always speaking carefully and keeping serious to build a wall that she think are there to protect herself.fortunately,finally she had the courage to take down the wall and express her love to mr rochester.she said:“do you think i can watch another woman become your bride?do you think i`m a machine,whitout feelings?do you think,because i`m small and poor and plain,that i have no soul and no heart?well,you`re wrong!i have as much soul and heart as you.it is my spirit that speaks to your spirit!we are equal in the sight of god!”
i believe when you heard what she said all of you will stand in awe of jane.when i thought the story would come to an end,a sudden,surprising change were taking place.
on the wedding day,jane found the secret of rochester.the wedding cannot continue because mr rochester was already married and his wife was still alive!his explanation made jane forgive him at once in her heart because she knew what he said was true.however,in her heart she also knew it was right for her to leave.
she left mr rochester when he was rich and health butcame back even though he was bland and disabled.i think that is true love.
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.
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 ruthleoppression, 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 moodineall 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).
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.
Her story makes us thinking about life and we learn much from her experience, at least, that is a fresh new recognition of the real beauty.
