特洛伊》中作者成功地创造出栩栩如生的男男女女,他们的磨难令人痛心,胜利则辉煌夺目。下面是语文迷为大家提供的读后感范文,希望对你有帮助。

I have never been to Troy, but David Maule made me feel as if I were standing on the high wall of Troy, watching the fierce war. Thanks to this British author, who adapted the famous Homer’s poem into a lively story, I found it easier to understand this story. Though the story happened over 3000 years ago in a remote place, I was deeply fascinated by it. The mysterious plot is one of the reasons why I loved The Story of Troy so much, yet I am more interested in the human heroes of the war.

Hector was the eldest son of king of Troy, Priam. He was not only a real hero of Trojan, but was regarded the highest moral hero in Greek classic by later historians. The war started because of the mischief of his brother, Paris, whom he didn’t appreciate. However, since Hector was the commander of the Trojan army, he was obliged to fight with all force. It was really a tragedy that such a valiant man died in the duel with another great warrior, Achilles.

It is natural to see death in a war. As a famous Chinese parable says, “A life can be as slight as a piece of feather, or as weighty as Mount Tai.” Sometimes, one’s glory walks hand in hand with one’s doom. Achilles was such a typical person. His personal charm made The Story of Troy more attractive. He was so crucial because his every appearance in a war encouraged his fellow soldiers and terrified the enemies. Actually, Achilles was half-god who was almost invincible in people’s mind. That’s why his name was memorized long after his death.

Besides the two great men, the wisdom of Odysseus also proved him to be a great hero. He didn’t want to attend the war because he was happily married and had a lovely son. However, since his country was allied to Mycenae, he had to take the command given by the king of Mycenae. I’m quite sure that the story of the wooden horse is widely known, however, few people know who thought of the brilliant idea, that’s why I admired Odysseus so much because he was the person who got the idea. Thanks to the horse, the ten-year war came to an end at last. If you want to know how the wooden horse worked, just read the book.

The ancient Greeks believed that the gods and goddesses also played important roles in the origin, process and ending of the whole story.

The story of the golden apple was such an example. When Eris, the goddess of argument and disagreement, threw out the golden apple to a wedding ceremony on Mount Olympus, a dispute happened. Hera, the queen of gods, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, were all involved in the argument for the apple. None of them was willing to give way, so they turned to Paris for a final judgment. Tempted by Aphrodite’s beauty and promise, Paris handed the apple to her. To keep her word, Aphrodite helped him to get Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world, as his wife. That was the cause of the war.

Paris’s choice obviously annoyed the other two goddesses. So during the war, they helped the Greek alliance army while some other gods, such as Apollo and Aphrodite, guarded Troy. When Paris dueled with Helen’s former husband Menelaus, Aphrodite saved Paris when he was about to be finished off.

After the duel between those two people, there was a truce between the Greek alliance and Troy. However, both Hera and Athena were not happy to see it. Hera pursued her husband ZEUS:“ Now, will you send Athena to make the Troyjans break the peace?”(Page 22) Then with Zeus’s permission, Athena went down to start the war again and finally she brought the Greeks to success.

From the whole story, we can see that in ancient Greeks’ view, gods sometimes played a much more important role in their life. However, with the rapid development of science, we have learned that the Greek gods never existed. This is why a recent movie of Troy has not mentioned a single god. Everything happened due to men’s ambition, love, loyalty or jealousy. With those emotion and people’s effort, we human beings can accomplish wonders and be master of the world.

God are of less importance than they used to be. Nonetheless, the gods and goddesses made The Story of Troy more mysterious and marvelous.

I have learnt from the book more than the wonderful story of history, love and war. I believe that human can determine their destiny by their own. I highly recommend this book to my friends with the same interest.

In 1872, Phileas Fogg, an English gentleman, bets 20,000 pounds that he can travel around the world in 80 days. Remember, there were no airplanes or other types of high speed travel.

Fogg and his servant, Passepourtout, leave from London, England and travel acrofour continents on their trip. In India, they meet a beautiful princeand save her life. She joins them on the journey and falls in love with Phileas Fogg.

They are followed around the world by Detective Fix, who has mistaken Fogg for a bank robber. He causes the group lots of trouble and delays, and finally arrests Fogg on the last day of the journey.

The trip was also delayed by storms at sea, unfinished railroad tracks, and an Indian attack in the American West.

Do you think Phileas Fogg and his friends made it around the world in 80 days?

With all of the delays, the group thought they arrived back at London five minutes too late. However, the next day they discovered they were one day ahead of schedule. This was because they had travelled all the way around the world in an eastward direction, ma-ki-ng them gain an extra day as they travelled acrodifferent time zones.

Oliver 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.

To my disappointment, nowadays some people seem to doubt the existence of the goodnein humanity. They look down on people’s honesty and kindness, thinking it foolish of people to be warm-hearted. As a result, they show no sympathy to those who are in trouble and seldom offer to help others. On the other hand, they attach importance to money and benefit. In their opinion, money is the only real object while emotions and morality are nihility. If they cannot get profit from showing their ‘kindness’, they draw back when others are faced with trouble and even hit a man when he is down. They are one of the sorts that I really detest.

Francis Bacon said in his essay, ‘Goodness, of all virtues and dignities of the mind, is the greatest, being the character of the Deity, and without it, man is a busy, mischievous, wretched thing, no better than a kind of vermin.’

That is to say a person without goodneis destined to lose everything. Therefore, I, a kind person, want to tell those ‘vermin-to-be’ to learn from the kind Oliver and regain the nature of goodness.

Thoughts or reflections on reading Wuthering Heights

The book was written by Emily Bronte, it published in 1847.But at that time, it seemed to hold little promise, selling very poorly and receiving only a few mixed reviews. I found this in our school library, I chose this book because the title attracted me. The book is structured around two parallel love stories, the first half of the novel centering on the love between Catherine and Heathcliff, while the less dramatic second half features the developing love between young Catherine and Hareton. In contrast to the first, the latter tale ends happily, restoring peace and order to Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange. In the story, the two houses, Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange, represent opposing worlds and values.

I spent twenty days reading this book. After reading this book, I felt for Heathcliff at first. Heathcliff begins his life as a homeless orphan on the streets of Liverpool, and then he tyrannized by Hindley Earnshaw. But he becomes a villain when he acquires power and returns to Wuthering Heights with money and the trappings of a gentleman. His malevolence proves so great and long—lasting. As he himself points out, his abuse of Isabella—his wife is purely sadistic, as he amuses himself by seeing how much abuse she can take and still come cringing back for more.

Catherine represents wild nature, in both her high, lively spirits and her occasional cruelty. She loves Heathcliff so intensely that she claims they are the same person. However, her actions are driven in part by her social ambitions, which initially are awakened during her first stay at the Lintons, and which eventually compel her to marry Edgar. Catherine is free—spirited, beautiful, spoiled, and often arrogant, she is given to fits of temper, and she is torn between her both of the men who love her. The location of her coffin symbolizes the conflict that tears apart her short life. She is buried in a corner of the Kirkyard. In contrast to Catherine, Isabella Linton—Catherine’s sister—in—law represents culture and civilization, both in her refinement and in her weakness. Ultimately, she ruins her life by falling in love with Heathcliff. He never returns her feelings and treats her as a meretool in his quest for revenge on the Linton family.

Just as Isabella Linton serves as Catherine’s foil, Edgar Linton serves as Heathcliff’s. Edgar grows into a tender, constant, but cowardly man. He is almost the ideal gentleman. However, this full assortment of gentlemanly characteristics, along with his civilized virtues, proves useless in Edgar’s clashes with his foil. He sees his wife obviously in love with another man but unable to do anything to rectify the situation. Heathcliff, who gains power over his wife, sister , and daughter.

The whole story make people’s mood heavy. Fortunately, the end is happy.

The author Emily Bronte lived an eccentric, closely guarded life. She was born in 1818, two years after Charlotte—the author of Jane Eyre and a year and a half before her sister Anne, who also became an author. Her father worked as a church rector, and her aunt, who raised the Bronte children after their mother died, was deeply religious. Emily Bronte did not take to her aunt’s Christian fervor, the character of Joseph, a caricature of an evangelical, may have been inspired by her aunt’s religiosity. The Brontes lived in Haworth, a Yorkshire village in the midst of the moors. These wild, desolate expanses—later the setting of Wuthering Heights—made up the Brontes daily environment, and Emily lived among them her entire life. She died in 1848, at the age of thirty.

I like this book because it rest on the unforgettable characters. Wuthering Heights is based partly on the Gothic tradition, a style of literature that featured supernatural encounters, crumbling ruins, moonless nights, and grotesque imagery, seeking to create effects of mystery and fear. I would like to recommend this book to other readers.

Single from reading "one hundred years of solitude" intuitive feeling, is very subtle and interesting. Easily into the book into my different, the Maya angelou, ups and downs in the one hundred years of solitude and loss between seems to and I with a layer of glass wall in it. Whenever I seemed to experience personally, there is always a layer of XinYu glass back to blur. Perhaps because the authors playful tone which is used to describe a similar myths of various scenarios, perhaps because of the characters of wild lonely secular yourself too far away.

The whole book, everyone is a lonely individual. From the family, the first Mr Aqua dior, to the last family obvious characteristics of Mr LeiLiangNuo. From pride bold vigorous energetic Mr LeiLiangNuo admiral to ordinary but great Ursula old mother, from pure as an angel qiao girl lei Tess to enjoy crowds that married two wife of one of the twins.

A complex huge family history in one hundred, a clear thread of cycles. In the stream of time, people in the big background of the ups and downs seem so weak. Weak petite take away life, loneliness of fixation with the trace of sadness. Endless lei Tess girl died like be preserved as grandmother, to finally still bite fingers Rebecca persistent refused to die. Experience of the riots claimed 3000 lives aqua dior anyone to believe. They are all people of vision, extreme loneliness.

For me, the company already accustomed to loneliness, not necessarily happy, but is not sad. Loneliness is a person with a lifetime partner is an established fact, rather than deny, fight, rather than meaningless escape, be inferior to accept it, let it protect your home in the crowd, let it accompany you eat breakfast Saturday morning, sunshine, Sunday afternoon let it accompany you in the sun, in the exhausted body and mind.

If you and I, like most people, the periodic depression, might as well take a look at this book, let the lonely people in the book of the rash you fearless courage to struggle. Maybe, we can live more force to coax cattle, at least in the eyes of others. Mr LeiLiangNuo will die, my heart is a pain, is thinking.

I believe that this book can give me, far more than that.

单从读《百年孤独》的直观感觉来说,是非常的微妙且有意思的。与以往容易入书入戏的我不同,百年孤独里的悲欢离合、跌宕起伏、生离死别似乎和我之间隔了一层下雨中的玻璃墙。每当我似乎身临其境的时候,总有一层新雨将玻璃重新淋得模糊。也许是因为作者总以戏谑的口吻描述类似神话的种种场景,也许是因为书中人物狂野的孤独离世俗的自己太过遥远。

整本书中,每个人都是一个孤独的个体。从家族第一个霍赛阿卡迪奥,到最后一个具有家族明显特征的奥雷良诺。从高傲果敢轰轰烈烈的奥雷良诺上将到精力充沛平凡而伟大的乌苏拉老妈妈,从纯洁如天使的俏姑娘雷梅苔丝到喜欢热闹以至于娶了两个老婆的双胞胎之一。

一部繁杂庞大的百年家族史,一部脉络清晰的地方兴衰史。在时间的洪流中,个人在大背景的起伏中显得那样无力。羸弱娇小的被夺去生命,孤独执着着的留下悲伤的痕迹。无端去世的雷梅苔丝的萝莉像被作为祖母的形象保存,到最后仍然在咬手指的雷贝卡执着的不肯死去。经历夺走3000人生命骚乱的阿卡迪奥得不到任何人的相信。他们都是人群的异子,孤独的极端。

对于我,则早已习惯了与孤独为伴,未必开心,但也未必悲哀。孤独是一个陪伴人一生的伙伴是一个既定事实,与其否认,与其抗争,与其无谓的逃避,不如接受它,拥挤的人群里让它保护你回家,周六的上午让它陪你吃早餐,整理阳光,周日的下午让它陪你晒晒太阳,晒晒俱疲的身体与心灵。

如果你和我、和大多数人一样,周期性的抑郁,不妨看看这本书,让书中孤独人的鲁莽激起你无畏抗争的勇气。也许,我们可以活得更牛逼哄哄,至少在别人眼中。奥雷良诺上将死去的时候,我心中一阵痛楚,就是这么想的。

我相信,这本书能给我的,远远不止于此。

Until the end of life, and then quietly fade, dont make a sound, as if never come.

茶花女》这部作品是19世纪著名小说家戏剧家小仲马的一部小说,这部小说也是作者小仲马的成名作及其最有影响力的一部小说。

人们为书中女主人公玛格丽的悲惨遭遇而潸然泪下。茶花女是当时巴黎的一位名妓,但其外表和内心都像茶花那样纯洁,她总是随身带着一束茶花每月头二十五天是白色的,随后五天是红色的。除了茶花,从来没有其他花与她相伴,故有了这个绰号——茶花女。

在爱情面前,茶花女表现出了自己的坚贞和执着高尚的情操,但她这朵美丽的茶花却因为肺病和各种社会的压力在23岁凋零。她美丽、聪颖、善良,她满怀热情与希望的去追求,追求真正的、自己所期望的爱情,她与阿尔芒相爱,但是在阿尔芒父亲出面阻止他们的爱时,她只能选择退出。之后等到阿尔芒回来时,茶花已经凋谢,再也找不回来了。

她就像茶花一样带着芬芳、馨香来到世界,无声地绽放,默默在风中绽放自己的纯洁美丽。即使受到过风雨、经历过打击,即使委屈,她也默不作声,只为了自己的爱,只将自己最美的瞬间绽放给爱看。直到生命到了尽头,再悄声凋谢,不发出声音,仿佛不曾来过。

这一切都使这位为人们所不齿的烟花女子的形象闪烁着一种圣洁的光辉,以至于人们一提起“茶花女”这三个字的时候,首先想到的不是什么下贱的妓女,而是一位美丽、可爱而又值得同情的高尚女性。

Under the light, I could feel my recreant heart being shivering as his voice said: “Remember, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things and no good thing ever dies!”

It’s obvious that hope is a good thing. Whatever difficulty it is, we can’t lose the hope. Hope is enduring. Why we study? Because of the hope. We don’t hope us to be the man who nobody knows, so we go ahead for the dream. That it is , hope is worthy to be kept on the way to realize our dreams.

This made up of 36 seal letter book, not only across the new and old, left and right, pop culture and humanistic care, more across the generation of the mother and child values, gathered into this a wonderful essays. Actually all around us, including me, how many people and their parents communication, lack of proper form and opportunity, that between the two generations formed an unbridgeable chasm.

We will find themselves more grow up more lonely, gradually do not want to share more things with their parents, but nearby of friend, perhaps more than parents know yourself. We constantly updated contact things, gradually the world away from their parents, the occasional phone is dull routine in general. We all felt this change, but no one is willing to or pay attention should change some. , I think our parents raise us to grow up and dont want to see is such an outcome.

After watching the "dear Andre" this book, I found that, as children, we do not understand how their parents. They are eager to understand our world, so idea urgently, so that let us feel bored. So we will unconsciously farther from them. But, I think, the parents do everything is derived from the inner fountain of love. Is love, let them pipe we too strict; Is love, let them in front of the children grew up increasingly, independent. So, no matter how is the external performance, internal essence is love.

这部由36封家书构成的书,不仅横跨了新与旧,左派与右派,流行文化与人文关怀,更横跨了母与子的世代价值观,集结成这一本精彩的散文集。其实在我们身边,包括我在内,有多少人和自己的父母交流甚少,缺乏适当的形式和机会,以至于两代之间形成了一条无法逾越的鸿沟。

我们会发现,自己越长大越孤单,渐渐的不愿意和父母分享更多的东西,反而身边的朋友或许比父母更加的了解自己。我们不断的接触更新的事物,渐渐的从父母的世界中远去,偶尔的电话也是例行公事一般的枯燥无味。我们都感觉到了这种变化,但是却没有人愿意或者留心是不是应该改变一些。我想,我们的父母养我们长大成人,绝对不想看到的是这样的一种结局。

看了《亲爱安德烈》这不书之后,我发现,作为子女,我们是多么的不了解自己的父母。他们渴望了解我们的世界,于是心思急切,于是这样的感觉让我们厌烦。于是我们就会不自觉的离他们更远。但是,我想,父母所作的一切都是源自于内心深处爱的喷泉。是爱,让他们管我们管的太严;也是爱,让他们在日益长大的、独立的子女面前手足无措。所以,无论外在的表现如何,内在的实质都是爱。

篇19:《羊脂球》英语读后感

全文共 4266 字

Guy de Maupassant(18501893), one of the greatest critical realist writers in the world, is considered as one of three kings of world short story。 Maupassant created six novels and 359 medium forms during his brief lifetime, engendering a momentous effect on the later literature. And it’s his maiden work, Suet Ball that won him world-wide prestige.

In1870, with the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War, the real-based story Suet Ball happened. The heroine of the story is a humble harlot called Suet Ball. With a group of French residents of Rouen, recently occupied by the Prussian army, the 11 travelers are on their way fleeing to Le Havre in a stagecoach. In virtue of the appalling weather, the stagecoach moves rather slowly and has just covered a few miles by midday. Initially, those occupants snub Suet Ball whereas their attitudes alters with the emergence of a basket filled with scrumptious food and she caters for those hungry travelers selflessly.

The carriage doesn’t stop until they blunders into a Prussian-held territory called T?tes. A Prussian officer detains the coach with no definite reasons. In the next two days, the occupants wait with barely concealed impatience and eventually Suet Ball tells that they will be detained perpetually unless she approves of sleeping with the officer. Out of her patriotism, Suet Ball gives him a point-blank refusal. As it should be, those travelers behave furiously to the officer"s arrogance while during the next two days, they exemplify logic and morality in diverse ways to convince Suet Ball of its validity. What a kind-hearted girl! Finally Suet Ball gives up and sacrifices her body for everyone’s freedom.

The next morning, they are permitted to leave. But those "representatives of Virtue" totally neglect Suet Ball, casting scathing sights on the poor young woman while even disdaining talking to her and rejecting sharing their food with her in the same way that she did at the beginning. From their perspectives, Suet Ball turns out to be no more utilizable and should be condemned for her ashamed conduct. As the stagecoach travels deeper into the night, she seethes with rage against those hypocrites, and ultimately weeps for her lost dignity.

In this story, Maupassant highlighted the intense comparison between Suet Ball and the so-called nobles. Rapacity, hypocrisy, sexuality and nobility intertwine in the spotlight,eulogizing the underclass’ patriotism and lampooning the sham of the aristocracy. Maupassant portrays the inhabitants of the stagecoach in varied disparaging ways. The most luminous character belongs to the two nuns. At first they are portrayed as tranquil and subservient to Lord and demonstrate their fiery patriotic desire to dedicate to their motherland rather than a sordid intention like the other passengers: the nuns profess to haste to a military hospital to heal the wounded French soldiers, hence presenting the argument towards instigating Suet Ball to abandon her resistance. How absurd it is! Nuns are supposed to take strait vows and treat others benevolently. They fill Suet Ball"s head with arguments, arguing that it is not morally wrong to sleep with the officer in order to let the travelers leave, and that the longer she waits, the more young French soldiers will die as the nuns are not there to look after them. Superficially, they claim that it is for the good of the country but indeed they’re just taking advantage of her. Suet Ball"s resistance to the officer"s sexual advances again indicate her patriotism. Cruel wars have stripped all the external stuffs. In contrast to all of these is Suet Ball, a prostitute, revealed to be the most fiercely patriotic, virtuous, and morally admirable character, which Maupassant contrasts with the hypocrisy and snobbery of the others.

It is arguably Maupassant’s most famous short story. The carriage constitutes a microcosm of French society as a whole. And the narrative techniques of this story are rather sophisticated and carefully conceived. On balance, a real noble person like Suet Ball can’t be judged by the appearance or the occupation, his/ her moral quality will glitter when confronting the real ordeal. Consequently, I deem that Suet Ball is worth reading lingeringly, savoring every word.

篇20:关于《简爱》的英语读后感

全文共 5000 字

+ 加入清单

The novel is rich in poetry, symbolism and metaphor. It does not fit easily into a definite pattern, being neither a novel of "manners" in the tradition of Austen, or a straightforward Gothic Romance in the style of Mrs Radcliffe. What Charlotte Bronte did was to create a work which cleverly blends elements of the two styles, and which remains uniquely independent of them at the same time, since it addresses issues which were at the time rather controversial.

The novel is written in the first person, and thus magnifies the central character - the reader enters the world of Jane Eyre and is transported through her experiences at first hand. This at once makes the work subjective, especially since we know that Charlottes Brontes own life and experiences were so closely interwoven with the heroines. As well as this we learn only at the end of the novel that the events are being related to us ten years after the reconciliation with Rochester - thus the narrative is RETROSPECTIVE (looking back). CB is clever in blending the narrative so that at times Jane seems to be speaking as an adult with adult hindsight , while at others she she is "in the middle" of them, as a child or young woman. The indecision which is a central issue in the book, is heightened by this device. We never know, as readers, whether to be entirely trustful of Janes actions and thoughts, because we are never sure wheher she is speaking impulsively or maturely.

This intensifies the readers dilemma as to what is "right" and "wrong" in the dramatic relationships which are part of JEs life. Can we believe what the heroine says, or is she deceiving herself? The novel is primarily a love story and a "romance" where wishes come true but only after trials and suffering. The supernatural has its place, as do dreams, portents and prophesies. The heroine begins poor and lonely and ends up rich and loved; the orphan finds a good family to replace the wicked one; all the basic ingredients of classic romantic fairytale are present.

The romantic element is present in two forms in Jane Eyre; the "family" aspect is dealt with in the Gateshead, Lowood and Moor House episodes, which involve the exchanging of the wicked Reed family for the benevolent Rivers one; and the Love romance is dealt with in the Thornfield and Ferndean episodes. Both aspects are, of course linked and interwoven throughout the novel.

There is also a strong element of realism in the novel, which, married to the romantic aspect, enhances the novels strength.The sense of place is very strong; we are able to experience both exterior and interior settings with startling clarity throughout the story, in a series of vivid deive passages. The central characters are also realistic and their confrontations and sufferings change them in a believable way.

Even the unlikely is made plausible, with a unique blend of high drama and perceptive low comedy (the attack on Mason, for instance)

The more fantastic romantic aspects; the coincidences; the secrets; the supernatural occurrences, are balanced by the realism, and this is of course a major strength.

The Gothic influence cannot be ignored, although CB has refined the technique considerably from the "authentic" Gothic of the 1790s. In the original genre, the heroine would typically be abducted and threatened with seduction, or worse!. There would be a lover - a respectable, well-bred young man - who would endeavor to rescue the heroine and would succeed after many trial. the seducer would be a brigand "Know that I adore Corsairs!" and he would lock the girl up in a remote castle.

There was little freedom for middle class women during the period of the Gothic novel, and this was still the case in the time of CB. Marriage especially was often a bargain, whereby fortunes were secured by using the female as a pawn. A womans value largely depended therefore on her sexual purity and she was guarded and secured as a result. Men, on the contrary, were potent and free; lovers and mistresses were common. Ironically the women who provided their services were social outcasts as a result.

In Jane Eyre we see elements of the Gothic romance, in that Thornfield Hall and Rochester are described very much in the brigand/castle style BUT Jane Eyre is not abducted by R. On the contrary she chooses to go there of her own free will. AND she is clear in her determination to have Rochester as a husband. Neither is there a gentleman rescuer; St John Rivers may look like a Greek God, but he is neither kind nor benevolent; driving Jane back to Ferndean, not rescuing her from it.

The trials which the hero is supposed to undergo in a Gothic romance are in fact undergone by the heroine in Jane Eyre. The bandit Rochester is only skin-deep. Underneath the brooding exterior is a sensitive soul, which a WOMAN frees. In this way we see that CB created rather a daring departure from conventional fiction, although there are still many aspects of the novel which remain true to Victorian convention.!
