Jane Eyre， is a poor but aspiring， small in body but huge in soul， obscure but self-respecting 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 We remember her pursuit of It’s like a companion with the But still， a virtuous person should promote the goodness on one side and must check the badness on the other We remember her self-respect and the clear situation on In her opinion， everyone is the same at the God’s Though there are differences in status、in property and also in appearance， but all the human being are equal in 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 Actually， she wasn’t pretty， and of course， the ordinary appearance didn’t make others feel good of her， even her own aunt felt disgusted with And some others even thought that she was easy to look down on and to tease， so when Miss Ingram met Jane Eyre， she seemed quite contemptuous， for that she was obviously much more prettier than ‘the plain and ugly governess’ But as the little governess had said: ‘Do you think， because I am poor， obscure， plain， and little， I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong!’ This is the idea of equality in Jane Eyre’s God hadn’t given her beauty and wealth， but instead， God gave her a kind mind and a thinking Her idea of equality and self-respect impress us so much and let us feel the power inside her In my mind， though a person’s beauty on the face can make others once feel that one is attractive and charming， if his or her mind isn’t the same beautiful as the appearance， such as beauty cannot last for， when others find that the beauty which had charmed them was only a falsity， it’s not true， they will like the person no For a long time， only a person’s great virtue， a noble soul， a beautiful heart can be called as AN EVERLASTING BEAUTY， just as Kahill Gibran has said， that ‘Beauty is a heart enflamed and a soul enchanted’ I can feel that how beauty really is， as we are all fleshly men， so we can’t distinguish whether a man is of nobleness or humbleness， but fleshly men， so we can’t distinguish whether a man is of nobleness or humbleness， but as there are great differences in our souls， and from that， we can know that whether a man is noble or ordinary， and even obscure， that is， whether he is beautiful or 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

jianai Bertha Mason is the insane wife of R In precise contrast to the angelic Helen， Bertha is big， as big as Rochester， corpulent， florid， and Much of Bertha’s dehumanization， Rochester’s account makes clear， is the result of her confinement， not its After ten years of imprisonment， Bertha has become a caged beast (Showalter 73) As Bronfen states， “where Helen ‘fed’ off her dead ancestors， Bertha feeds off the living， bites and draws blood from her brother， repeatedly threatens the life of her husband， and embodies a return of what they would like to repress” (200) Bertha can be seen as Jane’s darkest double， as her ferocious secret self， who appears whenever an experience of anger or fear arises on Jane’s part that must again be repressed (“Jane Eyre” 167) Acting for and like Jane， she enacts the violence Jane would like to but can’t express， especially in respect to She also articulates Jane’s fears and desires about her own mortality (Bronfen 200) There are multiple themes in Jane E One of the main themes is the need for love contrasting with the need for As a Bildungsroman， Jane Eyre is the story of Jane’s striving for independence， struggling with passion， and finally growing into As the story starts， Gateshead is the place in which the passions of childhood are given free rein (Lamonica 70) In Lowood， although Jane is no longer dependent on the Reed family， her passion is restricted by the severe In Thronfield， however， an excess of passion between Jane and Rochester ultimately causes her to run from Thornfield Hall with no plans for the future， ending up starving and delirious on the doorsteps of the Rivers family at Marsh End Marsh End， like Lowood， is a place where restraint of passion is a way of While she cares deeply for S John， who asks her to marry him， Jane knows that she would never be able to love him with the kind of passion she feels for R As Teachman states， “Jane is a woman who， having once known true passion， cannot settle for anything less in marriage” In Ferndean， the final location of the novel， passions have been moderated to some degree by both time and Burn have rendered Rochester dependent on others for his daily Jane thus finds him changed from “a vital and sometimes threateningly passionate man into a man tamed by both emotional and physical trauma” Jane， on the other hand， had found loving She has also inherited her uncle's fortune， making her an independent woman with no need of the financial “As a result of this increased level of independence， she is able to regulate her passions， indulging them when she feels it appropriate and choosing not to act on them at other This final section of the novel reveals the integration of essential parts of Jane's personality and education into a strong adult woman， who also at this time becomes a mother and a true partner to her husband” Another main theme of Jane Eyre is Jane’s search for Throughout the novel， Bronte presents contrasts between “characters that believe in and practice what she considers a true Christianity and those who pervert religion to further their own ends” (“Jane Eyre” 170) M Brocklehurst， for example， is a hypocritical C He professes charity but uses religion as a justification for punishing the Helen Burns， on the other hand， is a complete contrast to Brocklehurst: she endures her punishment patently， forgives the cruelty of her teachers， and fully acknowledges the legitimacy of their S John Rivers is a “more conventionally religious figure” (“Jane Eyre” 170) In spite of his determination to do good deeds， he is cold， forbidding; moreover， he courts He does not regard Jane as a full， independent person but an accessory that would help his proposed missionary In the novel， Jane witnesses and resents the hypocrisy of M Brocklehurst， and she cannot quite profess Helen’s absolute， selfless Jane “does not follow a particular doctrine， but she is sincerely religious in a nondoctrinaire way” (“Jane Eyre” 170) Another theme of Jane Eyre is the search for home and family， which is also closely associated with search for Throughout the novel， Jane searches for kinship， a sense of place in a relationship characterized by “fellow-feeling，” a term Jane uses According to Lamonica， “the novel plots her course from displacement at Gateshead Hall， where she is ‘like nobody there’， to ‘full fellow-feeling’ with the Rivers family at Moor House， and finally to symbiosis with Rochester at Ferndean， where she is ‘ever more absolutely bone of his bone， and flesh of his ’” (67-68) In the opening scene of the novel， the Reed children cluster around their mother in a classic Victorian family tableau， the mother “reclined on a sofa by the fire-side” with her “darlings about her，” looking “perfectly happy” (Bronte 3) Jane， an orphan less than a servant， is Jane’s original self-conception at Gateshead is thus determined expressly by her difference and distance from the family She is， to both herself and her relations， an anomaly (Lamonica 74) Shunted off to Lowood Institution， Jane finds a home of sorts， although her place here is “ambiguous and temporary” (“Jane Eyre” 171) Jane’s time at Lowood gives her the “opportunity to position and define herself within a new， all-female community” (Lamonica 76) Her time under the influence of Helen and Miss temple serves to placate the deep impression of her childhood sufferings， but it does not alter the character of her She persists in asserting， “I was no Helen Burns” (Bronte 75) Jane’s relationship with Rochester is governed by the self-images she acquired at Gateshead and L The various， sometimes conflicting， aspects of her developing selfhood – “her passion and her self-control， her desire to live ‘as an independent being ought to do’ and to think well of herself， as well as her need to be accepted and thought well of by others” – determines her longing for kinship (Lamonica 78) However， for Jane， this kinship must allow for a meaningful personal identity within the relationship， which explains why Jane develops an attraction to Rochester – she states “he is not their I believe he is of mine” (Bronte 219) - and why Jane is reluctant to become M Rochester， a symbol of a self-sacrificing Jane’s finial union symbolizes the ideal harmony
