Jane Eyre was stubborn from childhood. When she was bullied by Master John, she called him a cruel bad boy, like a murderer and like a Roman emperor. For this reason, she was put in a dark red house by Mrs. Reed. Later, Mrs reed sent her to a private public welfare school in lowood to deliver food. Since then, Jane Eyre has been kicked out of the house. Jane Eyre went out and said to menstruation, "I declare that I don't love you ... I don't want to call you aunt anymore. When I grow up, I never want to see you again ... I want to say that you have treated me with tragic cruelty. "
Loward Public Welfare School takes in orphans, and the living environment and conditions are extremely bad. Schools only care about binding children's thoughts with religious beliefs and are not sincere about their lives. Children eat "paste porridge" and "disgusting food". A typhoid fever spread and 45 children became ill. Children who are slightly negligent will be severely punished and humiliated. Helen burns, Jane Eyre's good friend, is often scolded and whipped by her teacher Skajid. But burns endured it without saying a word. Jane Eyre can't understand Burns' meekness as a lamb. She thought that if she was whipped, she would take the whip away and hit herself in the face. She said to Burns, "If people are always kind and obedient to cruel people, then bad people will do whatever they want ... When we are going to be beaten for no reason, we should fight back very hard." However, Burns was deeply poisoned by the school's religious consciousness. She believes that Jane Eyre's theory is advocated by pagans and barbarians, and Christians and civilized nations will never admit it. She told Jane Eyre to love her enemies and not to fight against others.
Mr. Brukal Hastert, the school director, is a lanky man, like a black marble statue, and people are afraid of him. One day, he took his wife and daughter to inspect the school. He called the children who lived a life without food and clothing at school the habit of "suffering, patience and self-denial". On the other hand, his own daughter is beautifully dressed. They wear gorgeous fur coats and fashionable beaver hats. Mrs Brouca Hasted is wearing an expensive velvet scarf with weasel skin at the edge. Jane Eyre accidentally broke a writing stone and was seen by Brouca Hastert. He humiliated her in public. Said she was an exiled bad boy, an ungrateful person, and wanted other children to alienate her. He said to the children, "Don't let her join your game and don't talk to her." In this way, the children all avoided Jane Eyre, and only Burns approached her to comfort her. Jane Eyre told the female teacher, Ms. Temple, what she had done and what Mrs. Reed had done to her. Ms Tempore called all the students together and declared that Jane Eyre was not at fault, thus bridging the gap between Jane Eyre and the children.
One summer, Burns was quarantined with tuberculosis. Jane Eyre secretly visited her and slept with her all night. The next day, when they were found, Burns was already dead. Jane Eyre is still asleep, with her face resting on Burns' shoulder and her arm around her neck.
Jane Eyre spent eight years suffocating and rigid life in a public welfare school (six years as a student and two years as a teacher). Later, Ms. Temple, her favorite teacher, married someone and moved to a distant state. Jane Eyre also has the idea of leaving lowood. She advertised in the newspaper that she would teach in a private library. A few days later, a wife named Fairfat wrote back to her and hired her as a tutor for a landlord in Thornfield.
Thornfield is a beautiful farm, a three-story gentleman's house with a crenelated roof. The gray facade of the house emerged from the background of the crow's nest. There is a lawn in front of the house, with a row of thick and knotty old thorns and branches as thick as oak trees, which reminds people of the origin of the name of the house (Thornfield). Further on, there is a hill, a small poker village with a roof and trees, scattered on one side of the hill, at the top of the old church tower, overlooking the mound between the house and the gate. Mrs Fairfax is the housekeeper of the owner of the manor here. She is an elderly little woman, wearing a widow's hat and a white cotton skirt, and her attitude is very kind. She welcomed Jane Eyre home and told her that her master Rochester had gone on a trip. Her task is to teach a French-born girl, Miss Adelie.
Jane Eyre spent a comfortable and quiet night in Thornfield. The next day, she met her students. This is a little girl with a wind of about seven or eight. She is weak and pale, with curly hair hanging down to her waist. After learning French, Jane Eyre began to talk to her in French. Then, Mrs Fairfax showed Jane Eyre around the main building. The house is old and spacious. There are several narrow and dark houses on the third floor. Two rows of small black doors are all closed, which looks like a corridor in the "Ranjizi" castle. When Jane Eyre walked softly, suddenly there came a strange laugh. Mrs Fairfax explained that it might be the servant's laughter.
One winter afternoon, Jane Eyre went to a neighboring village to post a letter from Mrs Fairfax. On the path leading to the mountain, she met a man riding a horse. The horse slipped on the ice and threw its owner down. This is a middle-aged man of medium height, with a broad chest, a dark face, a serious face and a sad face. His eyes and wrinkled eyebrows look angry because he sprained his tendon. Jane helped him get on the horse. It turned out that this was none other than Mr. Rochester, Thornfield's landlord.
The next day, Rochester was busy all day, dealing with his farming. In the evening, he summoned Jane Eyre. She thought his behavior was a bit odd. The slate, "mouth, chin, cheeks-yes, all three are slate." His forehead is more square because his black hair hangs horizontally. He asked Jane about her life at lowood school, let her play the piano for a while, and then sent her away. Mrs Fairfax told Mr Jane Eyrochester that he was suffering from a family dispute. He is often distracted and leads an unstable life. One day, Rochester and Jane Eyre chatted. He said to her, "Look at me, Miss Eyre. Do you think I am beautiful? " Jane Eyre answered bluntly that she was not beautiful. Rochester likes her frank personality. He said to her, "You look like a little nun; Special, quiet, solemn and simple. " He told her a part of his life. He said that Miss Adelie was the daughter of French dancer Selena Huaron. Selina used to be his mistress, but later she abandoned him and gave him a daughter who was not his. Rochester's life and misfortune aroused Jane Eyre's sympathy.
In the evening, when Jane loves to sleep, she hears strange laughter again. Then Rochester's bedroom caught fire. Jane Eyre rushed into his room, put out the fire and saved Rochester who was sleeping. Jane Eyre thinks that laughter and arson are the fault of Grace Bohr, a sewing worker who lives on the third floor. She even suspected that Rochester was having an affair with the sewing girl.
A group of noble friends from Rochester are going to stay in Thornfield temporarily, and the servants are busy planning and cleaning the room. These noble guests are proud of their splendid clothes. They eat, drink and have fun all day, treat Jane Eyre as a nanny and look down on her. One of them, the beautiful Miss Yin Grimm, is very affectionate with Rochester. On the day they arrived, Jane Eyre saw Miss Yin Grimm riding a horse and walking side by side with Rochester. She is tall, her eyes are as bright as jewels, and she has dark curly hair. People call her the queen. The servants are all talking about the master marrying her. Jane Eyre felt a pang of sadness. She thinks that if they really get married, they will be jealous of the "two tigers" (reprinted from the first model website, please keep this mark. ) jealousy and despair-a powerful battle. "Because she has secretly fallen in love with Rochester.
A businessman named Mei Sen came back from the West Indies to visit Rochester. That night, Jane Eyre heard a cry for help from the third floor. All the noble guests living in Thornfield woke up and asked what had happened. Rochester disguised that it was a crazy servant's cry and told everyone not to panic and go back to bed. Then he asked Jane to accompany him to the third floor. There, Jane Eyre saw Mei Sen, a businessman who had been here during the day, lying in a pool of blood. He has just been stabbed and bitten. Rochester asked Jane Eyre to wipe the blood of the dying patient, and he jumped into the carriage to call the doctor himself. Mei Sen was sent away before dawn. When he left, Mei Sen told Rochester to take good care of the man who stabbed him. Who is this man? Rochester refuses to tell Jane Eyre.
Mrs. Reed's son John gambled and lost all his property and committed suicide. Mrs reed was so angry that she became seriously ill that she sent a coachman to take Jane home. Mrs. Reed apologized to Jane Eyre and blamed herself for not obeying her husband's entrustment and not raising Jane Eyre as her own child. When typhoid fever prevailed in public welfare schools, she hoped Jane Eyre would die; Later, she hid a letter from uncle Jane Eyre, which said that Jane Eyre was his heir, but she wrote back that Jane Eyre was dead. Mrs. Reed told all the secrets in her heart and thought Jane Eyre was her destiny takes a hand's misfortune. Finally, she died.
Jane Eyre returned to Thornfield. Rochester proposed to her. He compared Miss Yin gleim with Jane Eyre and thought that Miss Yin gleim married him not because of love, but for his property. Jane Eyre is much purer. He said to Jane Eyre: "For those women who make me happy only by their faces, when I find that they have neither soul nor heart-when they show me mediocrity, triviality, incompetence, vulgarity and bad temper, I am a demon;" But I will always be loyal and gentle to my clear vision, fluent tongue, fiery soul and unyielding personality-soft and steady, easy to control but indomitable. "He said he could disregard the world's comments and make up his mind to marry Jane Eyre; He will give her diamond treasures like marrying a lady, dress her up like a flat flower bed and give her half of the land. Jane Eyre does not covet these treasures. She replied, "What do I want you to do with half your land? "Do you think I am a Jewish usurer and want to find a good investment in other places?"
Jane Eyre can't trust Rochester's love completely. Under the advice of Mrs Fairfax, the housekeeper, she deliberately annoyed him and avoided him until she thought Rochester was sincere rather than cheating. But the day before her wedding, her wedding dress was torn in half. Jane asks Rochester who did it, but Rochester refuses to answer her.
The wedding was held in a nearby church. Just in the middle of the wedding, Mason, who was stabbed by a quilt in Thornfield, came from London with a lawyer to obstruct the wedding. He exposed a living Rochester wife. This is his sister, named Baisha Antonita. It turns out that Mei Sen is Rochester's brother-in-law. According to the British law at that time, bigamy was not allowed, and the wedding stopped. Jane Eyre was hit, and Rochester kept it from her.
When Rochester was young, his father and brother decided to marry the daughter of Jonas Mei Sen, a big businessman. Only after marriage did I know that the woman had epilepsy. Rochester took his wife back to the grange for the honor and face of the nobility, hid it on the third floor, and specially sent a maid Grace Bohr (sewing woman) to take care of her, which was hidden from outsiders. The day after Jane Eyre arrived, the strange laugh she heard and the fire in Rochester's room were all done by this crazy woman.
Rochester implores Jane Eyre not to leave him. If they can't get married, they can live abroad together. But Jane refused because she didn't want to be his mistress. On a cold night, she quietly ran out of Rochester's house.
Jane Eyre got into a passing carriage at White Cross Station. Because she left in a hurry and didn't have much money with her, she was threatened by hunger and cold and wandered in the wilderness for two days and two nights. Then I came to the remote rural Zedi Prefecture. St. John, a priest in mourning, took her in. St John has two sisters, Diana and Mary. Their father died of a stroke not long ago. Their family is poor. The facilities in the living room are simple but neat. The old chair is very bright, and the walnut table looks like a mirror. Mr. St. John is tall and thin, with a Greek face and pure outline. He has a straight nose in ancient Greece, an Athenian mouth and chin, and a high forehead as white as ivory. Jane Eyre had a fever for three days, and the three brothers and sisters of St. John took turns to take care of her. After Jane Eyre became ill, she refused to live a life of delivering food and asked to take part in work. At that time, St. John was running a primary school for the children of the poor, and Jane Eyre became the principal of this rural school.
St John is a devout believer. He devoted his life to God. He believes that his sacred duty is to "spread knowledge to the field of ignorance-replace war with peace-replace bondage with freedom-replace superstition with religion-replace fear of hell with hope of heaven". He will go to India to preach. He fell in love with Miss Aref, the daughter of the factory owner. But he thinks that Miss Aref is not a diligent person and can't be his business partner, while Jane Eyre is a "diligent, organized and energetic woman", so he asks her to be his wife and assistant. Jane Eyre is embarrassed about this.
Jane Eyre's uncle, Mr. Eyre, died. Leave twenty thousand pounds to Jane Eyre. In the conversation, Jane Eyre knows that Mr. Eyre is John's uncle. She and they are cousins. Jane Eyre didn't want to get the inheritance alone, so she divided it into four parts, one for John and one for his sister.
Jane Eyre and John had an argument on the issue of marriage. John repeatedly explained to her that "he married for work, not for love" and that he was "born for work". Jane Eyre opposed this combination not because of love, but because of the need of missionary work. She retorted, "If I'm not writing for love, I'm not writing for marriage." So he turned down John's proposal.
Jane got the news of Rochester's disaster. To prove it, she went to Thornfield herself. She saw that the old owner's house had been razed to the ground, and people told her that Rochester's crazy wife had set the fire. After setting fire, she committed suicide by jumping off a building. Rochester was injured when the fire was overwhelmed by the pillar of fire. He sawed off an arm and became blind. He and the coachman moved to a remote place and scraped along. Miss Adley was sent to school. Rochester is completely bankrupt.
Findin House in Rochester is an ancient building, buried deep in the forest, where his father used to hunt and store prey. This is a very lonely place. On a drizzly evening, Jane Eyre came to Fending, and she was going to relive the old love with her old master. Although she must make sacrifices, she thinks she can get real love from Rochester, which John lacks. Rochester reminded her: "You are an independent woman, a rich woman." However, she has made up her mind to stay.
Rochester, loved by Jane, no longer complains about fate and God, but shows great piety to God. Jane Eyre also feels very happy, "because I am my husband's life, just as he is my life." They live a quiet and peaceful life in a distant corner of this world. Later, Rochester cured his eyes in London, and he and Jane Eyre gave birth to a boy. John went to India to preach. His two sisters, Di Anna and Mary, also got married one after another and kept in frequent contact with Jane Eyre.
Jane Eyre, the protagonist, is a pure-hearted and understanding woman. She lives at the bottom of society and suffers a lot. Her life experience is sympathetic, but her stubborn personality and the spirit of pursuing equality and happiness are more appreciated.
In Mrs. Reed's house, Jane, who is 10 years old, showed strong resistance to the discrimination and abuse of menstruation and her cousins. Cousin hit her, she dared to fight back; When menstruation called the children to stay away from her, she shouted "They don't deserve to be with me"; When she was imprisoned in an empty room, she thought of her abuse and shouted "injustice" from her heart. In the orphanage, Jane's rebellious character is more distinct, which is in sharp contrast with her friend helen burns's patient and obedient character. Although helen burns was persecuted, she believed in "loving your enemy". Under the paralysis of religion, there is no hatred, only resignation. Jane hates cruel principals and teachers who destroy them. She said to Helen, "If she hits me with that piece of paper, I'll take it from her hand and smash it to her face." It fully shows her stubborn character of not being humiliated and not giving in to fate.
Jane Eyre's view of love deepened her personality. She believes that love should be based on spiritual equality, not 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 showed unusual innocence, simple thoughts and feelings and indomitable courage. She didn't give up the pursuit of happiness because of her servant status. Her love is pure and noble. She despises Rochester's wealth. She loves him because he can treat others equally, treat her as a friend and be honest with her. For Rochester, Jane Eyre is like a fresh wind, which makes him feel refreshed. Rochester was used to the cold hypocrisy of the upper class, and Jane Eyre's simplicity, kindness and independence rekindled his pursuit and yearning for life. Therefore, he can sincerely express his good wishes and determination to reform in front of Jane.
Jane Eyre is a woman who is unwilling to endure social oppression and dares to pursue personal happiness. Her poor and low social status and wandering life experience were a true portrayal of the lower class life in England at that time. In the novel, the author can put an awakened new woman from the lower class in the leading role, enthusiastically praising the protagonist's tenacious struggle against oppression and social prejudice, striving for independent personality and dignity, and pursuing a happy life, which is commendable in literary works at that time.
