简爱英文读后感 篇2Jane 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.
简爱英文读后感 篇3This 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.”
简爱英文读后感 篇4"Love" in the history of English literature is handed down as a classic, it has successfully shaped the history of English literature first on love, life, society and religion, have taken a stand on ones own initiative and dare to struggle, dare to fight for free and equal status of women.
Almost all women love foreign literature, like D Charlottes "in love".If we think that Charlotte is only just to write this section of tangled up love to write "love".I think, sorry, thats not correct.The author also is a female, living in turbulent England in the middle of the nineteenth Century, when the thoughts have a brand new start.And in "Jane love" in infiltration is the largest such thoughts -- womens sense of independence.Let us imagine, if Jane love independent, has been killed in his childhood; if she did not share the independent, she already and wife Rochester to live together, began to have money, a new life; if she is not that the purity, we are now in the hands of "Jane love" is no longer a touching tears classic.So, I began to think, why "Jane love" let us be moved, fondle admiringly -- she is independent personality, beckoning personality charm.
However, we cant help wanting to ask, only this step can be independent?I think I wont.After all, womens independence is a long-term process, not accomplish at one stroke.It needs a thorough courage, love was like Jane decided to leave Rochester, need "wind rustling Xi the Yi River is so cold, strong earth to did not return" heroic and courage.I think, this should be the most crucial one step, also should be the decisive step towards independence.And Charlottes Jane love but her stubborn disposition, independent personality left us a moved.So she is successful, happy women.
Jane love has as an independent womens classic, I hope the sun, the flowers more Jane love out, whether poor or rich,; whether beauty, or homely, have good heart and enrich the mind, can the independent personality and a strong sexual life.
简爱英文读后感 篇5Oliver Twist one of the most famous works of Charles Dickens’ is a novel reflecting the tragic fact of the life in Britain in 18th century.
The author who himself was born in a poor family wrote this novel in his twenties with a view to reveal the ugly masks of those cruel criminals and to expose the horror and violence hidden underneath the narrow and dirty streets in London.
The hero of this novel was Oliver Twist an orphan who was thrown into a world full of poverty and crime. He suffered enormous pain such as hunger thirst beating and abuse. While reading the tragic experiences of the little Oliver I was shocked by his sufferings. I felt for the poor boy but at the same time I detested the evil Fagin and the brutal Bill. To my relief as was written in all the best stories the goodneeventually conquered devil and Oliver lived a happy life in the end. One of the plots that attracted me most is that after the theft little Oliver was allowed to recover in the kind care of Mrs. Maylie and Rose and began a new life. He went for walks with them or Rose read to him and he worked hard at his lessons. He felt as if he had left behind forever the world of crime and hardship and poverty.
How can such a little boy who had already suffered oppressive affliction remain pure in body and mind? The reason is the nature of goodness. I think it is the most important information implied in the novel by Dickens-he believed that goodnecould conquer every difficulty. Although I don’t think goodneis omnipotent yet I do believe that those who are kind-hearted live more happily than those who are evil-minded.
For me the nature of goodneis one of the most necessary character for a person. Goodneis to humans what water is to fish. He who is without goodneis an utterly worthleperson. On the contrary as the famous saying goes ‘The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose’ he who is with goodneundoubtedly is a happy and useful person. People receiving his help are grateful to him and he also gets gratified from what he has done and thus he can do good to both the people he has helped and himself.

从文艺复兴时期开始的英国文学史(英文版)
各地的作家都开始使用自己的方言而非拉丁语进行文学创作,带动了大众文学,替各种语言注入大量文学作品,包括小说、诗、散文、民谣和戏剧等。 在意大利,文艺复兴前期出现了“文学三杰”。但丁一生写下了许多学术著作和诗歌,其中著名的是《新生》和《神曲》。彼特拉克是人文主义的鼻祖,被誉为“人文主义之父”。他第一个发出复兴古典文化的号召,提出以“人学”反对“神学”。彼特拉克主要创作了许多优美的诗篇,代表作是抒情十四行诗诗集《歌集》。薄伽丘是意大利民族文学的奠基者,短篇小说集《十日谈》是他的代表作。 在法国,文艺复兴运动明显地形成两派,一是以“七星诗社”为代表的贵族派,二是以拉伯雷为代表的民主派。“七星诗社”以龙沙和杜贝莱为代表,在语言和诗歌理论方面做出了突出的贡献。他们最早提出统一民族语言的主张,促进了法国民族语言和民族文学的发展。然而,他们排斥民间诗歌,只为少数贵族服务。拉伯雷是继薄伽丘之后杰出的人文主义作家,是法国文艺复兴民主派的代表。他用20年时间创作的《巨人传》是一部现实与幻想交织的现实主义作品,在欧洲文学史和教育史上占有重要地位。 在英国,代表人物有托马斯·莫尔和莎士比亚。托马斯·莫尔是著名的人文主义思想家,也是空想社会主义的奠基人。1516年他用拉丁文写成的《乌托邦》是空想社会主义的第一部作品。莎士比亚是天才的戏剧家和诗人,他同荷马、但丁、歌德一起,被誉为欧洲划时代的四大作家。他的的作品结构完整,情节生动,语言丰富精炼,人物个性突出,集中地代表欧洲文艺复兴文学的最高成就,对欧洲现实主义文学的发展有深远的影响。 在西班牙,最杰出的代表人物是塞万提斯和维加。塞万提斯是现实主义作家、戏剧家和诗人。他创作了大量的诗歌、戏剧和小说,其中以长篇讽刺小说《堂吉诃德》最著名,它对欧洲文学的发展产生了重大影响。维加是戏剧家、小说家和诗人,西班牙民族戏剧的奠基人,被誉为“西班牙戏剧之父”。 他是世界上罕见的多产作家,一生共创作了两千多个剧本,留传至今的有600多个,有宗教剧、历史剧、神话剧、袍剑剧、牧歌剧等多种形式,深刻反映了西班牙的社会现实,深受广大群众的喜爱。最杰出的代表作是《羊泉村》。
