——Jane Eyre
Jane Eyre impressed me a lot. I was touched not only by Jane but also by the author.
The author, Charlotte Bronte, is a great woman. Although she had a miserable childhood, she managed to live a happy life, just like Jane Eyre in the novel. Jane was painful at her aunt’s home, for her aunt was unsatisfied to support her in the case that her uncle was dead. Then she was sent to Lowood when her aunt could not pretend to be kind any more. Luckily, she made friend with Helen Burns there and for the first time she felt she was loved by someone. Afterwards, with Helen’s death, she grew up as an outstanding lady. At last, she was determined to go out to see the big world and she got the job as governess in Thornfield Hall. It seems that they were attracted by each other at the first sight. Though n rough footing at first, they fell in love. But the god didn’t bless this poor girl. Unexpectedly, Rochestor had a mad wife before. Jane was heartbroken and left him firmly. But nothing could stop true love. She refused her cousin’s proposal and went back to the Thornfield
Hall, only to find that this place was burned and Rochestor lost his one hand along with one eye. In the end, her dream came true.
As is known to all, Jane is an example of women. She is so kind, beautiful and independent. She is kind of tenacious. When she was living with her aunt, every time she was bullied or treated unjustly, she would resist rather than resort. And her very character usually made her in trouble. However, I’m for her reaction. Because what if we take it for granted that we should be abused? The biggest advantage of her may be her self-respect, or her high moralities. When she heard that Rochestor had a wife, it occurred to her that she must leave him, though his wife was mad and he didn’t love her any more. In fact, she didn’t need to leave him in that case. No one would blame her. But she herself would feel restless and blame herself. So she left in the midnight without hesitation. We cannot imagine how much she wanted to have her own family. From this we can see she was so moral that she did not allow herself to be the third person. It is her high moralities that made him change. Like himself said, ‘Fresh and healthy, without soil or taint. I’m
sure she will regenerate me with a vengeance.’ We can infer that the fire by his frantic wife was the punishment for the cynicism early in his life. And Jane’s goodness could pure his dark soul.
Jane is pure, beautiful and persistent, which I appreciate very much. And I hope to be that kind of people in the future.
