Book Jane Eyre

Author Charlotte Bronte

Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong!–I have as much soul as you,–and full as much heart!

——from Jane Eyre

Jane Eyre is a story about true love, about the pursuit of women’s freedom, independence and equality.

Jane Eyre neither had mother nor father, she grew up in Mrs. Reed’s----her aunt’s home, and she was bullied by her cousins. She didn’t want to stay in Reed’s home anymore, so she was sent to orphanages. There she met her best friend Helen, but Helen died of typhoid fever. After her graduation, she came to the Sangen Rumsfeld, became a family-teacher for the Mr. Secretary Luoche. Mr. Luoche had a strange temper, after several contacts, and Jane soon fell in love with him. Mr. Luoche asked Jane to marry him, of course Jane accepted him. In their wedding, Mason pointed out that a crazy woman who lived in a small house on the top of the castle is the wife of Mr. Luoche. Jane didn't want to be his mistress, she left the Sangen Rumsfeld. And she came a remote place and became a village teacher with the help of a priest. When the priest wanted to marry Jane, she thought of Mr. Secretary Luoche. When she came back to Sangen Rumsfeld, the castle was in ruins, Mr. Luoche became blind. Jane came back to him; they got married, living happily together forever.

Finally, Jane got her happiness. I was impressed by Jane’s determination. Even though she was looked down by a lot of people, but she never gave up herself. She tried her best to work and study. At last, she had her own property and a beloved person. She strongly believed “Although I can’t choose property, but I can choose life.”

Jane was confident all the time, she said “I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh;–it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God’s feet, equal,–as we are” and “We are equal, I am not heartless machine”. Jane never felt abased when she faced Mr. Luoche, Jane thought they were equal, they should respect each other.

I have learnt a lot from Jane Eyre, and it really had effect on my life. First, I learnt fortitude from Jane. Her parents died early, she was an unlucky girl. Jane never complained, she just worked harder and harder to change her life. She wasn’t beaten by those difficulties; she tried hard to get through it. We all have difficulties in our lives; we should be as strong as Jane. We might fail a lot of times in our daily lives, although we have failed for 100 times, we should stand for 101 times. Second, I was impressed by Jane’s pursuit of love, women’s freedom, independence and equality. She never dissemble her love, she aspire after her love bravely. Jane said to Mr. Luoche “we stood at God’s feet, equal,–as we are!” Jane was a representative of women, she showed that women should be self-esteem and self-confident, women would be neither tempted by money and any other benefit nor forced by rights. We were born to be equal, everybody should be brave enough to chase everything you want and preserve proper rights.

Because of insistent attempt, Jane succeeded at last, Jane got everything. The most important thing about her, however, was that she proved herself to others, she proved that everyone was equal, this really encouraged thousands of people to chase something they want.

For us, we should learn Jane’s attitude to the difficulty, life and ceaseless pursuit. If we do so, how could those things get in the way of our success?
