+ 加入清单再三犹豫,才拿起那本角落中的书,纸张已略有些发黄了,这是母亲曾读的书,想来母亲是极爱这本书的,翻开书,可以看到小而工整的笔记,这本书对母亲应也是有很大影响的吧,母亲再三告诉我,这是一本极好的书,值得一读,我便也有些好奇,翻开了第
一页,进入了简爱的世界。
这本书的情节并不怎么吸引人,起初看时,也不有兴趣,静下心来,细细品读,便发觉吸引人的,不是它的情节,而是书的女主人公——简爱。
“难道就因为我一贫如洗,默默无闻,长相平庸,个子瘦小,就没有灵魂,没有心肠了——你想错了,我的心灵跟你一样丰富,我的心胸一样充实!”每每读到这句话,简爱的形象总是蓦然浮现在我脑海,一个普通、瘦弱但又坚毅的女人。简·爱是不幸的,她自幼失去父母,爱她并领养她的舅舅又过早地弃她而逝。她初涉人世,便过着寄人篱下、任人驱使的悲惨生活,饱尝了人情冷暖、世态炎凉的痛苦。
如果简爱因此开始恨这个世界,心中充满着仇恨,那《简爱》这本书就与那些落入俗套信手拈来的书没有区别,那虽合情合理,却失去了它的意义。夏洛蒂·勃朗特创造了一个前所未有的女性形象,简·爱作为爱情小说的女主人公是以前所未有的女性形象出现在这部十九世纪的文学作品中的。以往爱情故事的女主人公都是些美丽温柔、高贵贤淑的女子形象。而简·爱,她“贫穷,低微,不美,矮小”,但她拥有的一颗智慧、坚强、勇敢的心灵,使那些外在的美在这内在美面前黯然失色。
简爱的一生,从幼稚到成熟;从柔弱到坚强;从懵懂到智慧,她改变了许多,成长了许多。而我们,也在成长,也在从幼稚变成熟,从懵懂变智慧。
简爱的一生,不变的是她的反抗,她的精神。而我们,让我们保留一点不变的精神,总有一天,它会像金子一般发出光芒。
简爱的精神,经历风雨,经历时间,至今未变。

+ 加入清单简爱?说:“真正的幸福,在于美好的精神世界和高尚纯洁的心灵。”正是这一句看似普通的话,牵引着我走向书中的世界……
出身贫寒的孤儿简?爱从小寄养在舅母家中,受尽百般欺凌。后来进了慈善学校,灵魂和肉体经受了痛苦和折磨,但她从来没有想过放弃,以坚强的意志完成了学业,并且成绩优秀。为了追求独立的生活,她做了一名家庭老师。由于志趣相投,她与男主人公真诚相爱,经历百般磨难之后,终于走在了一起。看完《简?爱》,里面的一个又一个感人的故事不禁引起我的深思……
记得那是个晨光熹微的清晨,我和小伙伴相约一起爬山,站在山底的我向上仰望,显得自己很渺小,不禁惊叹:“好高啊,我能成功爬上去吗?”抱着试一试的心态,我们踏上了登山之旅。我们从原来的健步如飞到步履艰难,渐渐地,我们越来越吃力,一步一步地向上攀登。令我更吃惊的是,这座山远比我想象的要高太多了!只见朋友停下脚步,两手扶着树干,边喘气边说:“好累啊,我们下去吧。”听了她的话,我心中产生了放弃的念头,却又被一股正能量覆灭。我抿了抿嘴,笑笑说:“不能轻易放弃啊,成功就在前方,加油!”朋友听了以后,点了点头,便迈着沉重的步伐向上顶冲去。逐渐地,我们来到顶峰,向下望去:好美的风景!我与朋友相望,情不自禁地笑了起来。
登完山后,每当想起当时没有轻言放弃,我就为那时的自己感到自豪。看完《简?爱》后,我更是感慨万分,遇到挫折时,我总能想到简?爱身上的韧劲和精神,也总能在心中默念:别怕,学习简?爱的精神,你这点挫折算得不了什么,我们要铭记民族的精神品质啊,加油!而我,始终保持着坚持不懈的决心,因为我相信“真正的幸福,在于美好的精神世界和高尚纯洁的心灵。
中华优秀传统文化的内涵不仅局限于个人,更多的是用自己的双手和智慧相互传播文明精神,学习他人的优秀品质,完善自己的不足。自古以来,中华民族就有团结友爱、积极进取、不断发展、不断传承的优秀民风,而作为新一代接班人的我们,不仅需要发扬中华民族的传统精神,更应该以实际行动来表达自己的传承。同时,承担一份重担的我们仍需铭记自己是中华民族的一份子,永远担负着一份使命。
我们的每一次坚持,每一次努力,每一次付出……都是在传承中华民族的传统美德,都是在弘扬民族文化,《简?爱》真是让我受益匪浅!
篇2:《简爱》读后感感悟
全文共 363 字
+ 加入清单第十四章主要讲了罗切斯特先生在接下来的日子里把自己藏在心底的秘密告诉了简爱,使双方同时产生了对对方的好感。因此,在简爱发现罗切斯特床上的火焰时,她毫不犹豫,扑灭了火,救下了罗切斯特先生。
读完这一章,让我知道了简爱救助使罗切斯特先生多年积攒在内心的情感被激化,也是因为这件事使他和简爱之间的感情迅速升温。文章中塞莉娜等人对简爱发起的人身攻击,把简爱的缺陷说成残疾,表现了当时人物丑陋、恶毒的嘴脸。当简爱看到罗切斯特先生面貌的丑陋之后,简爱仍然觉得那是她最乐意看到的,体现出简爱不以貌取人,简爱提倡人人平等。罗切斯特夺走简爱手中的蜡烛,“夺”字可以看出罗切斯特先生野蛮的性格。
总得来说,从罗切斯特先生与简爱的坦诚对话中,简爱从罗切斯特先生身上看到了男性的美。而罗切斯特先生的床铺着火与奇怪的笑声让人琢磨不透,给读者留下想象的空间。
篇3:优秀的《简爱》读后感
全文共 822 字
+ 加入清单轻翻《简爱》,使我认识了一个外表平凡但内心坚强的女孩——简爱。我为她的命运之悲而悲,为她的命运之喜而喜。简爱的一生,有痛苦的回忆,也有甜蜜的记忆,更有纠结的心理。不过,更多的是她坚定的信念。简爱没有出众的容貌,没有显赫的家族,但她那颗坚毅的心打动了我。她一直追求着自由幸福的生活,她认为每个人都有追求自由幸福生活的权力,她认为众生平等。在那样一个年代,有谁会瞧得起那样无依无靠、长相平凡的女孩?
地点转到桑菲尔德庄园,简爱就是在这里做家庭教师的。没错,就是这里。这里有了简爱想要的平等。也是在这里,男主角——罗切斯特姗姗来迟。简爱终于遇见了一个懂得她的男人。但这个男人似乎有秘密瞒着她。当罗切斯特用欲擒故纵的手段“骗”得简爱的心后,一个不幸的消息传到简爱的耳中,罗切斯特已经有老婆了!更令人气愤的是:在罗切斯特和简爱的婚礼上,简爱知道了事情的真相。
这件事情,简直不可理喻!但罗切斯特的妻子是个疯女人,罗切斯特也是被骗所以才娶的那个疯女人。每个人都有追求真爱的权力,罗切斯特也一样有!罗切斯特也是不得不隐瞒。不过话说回去,罗切斯特,一个大富翁,完全可以和那个疯女人“恩断义绝”,把她置之不管,虽说与她离不了婚,但可以令她死亡,自己从而恢复单身。但是她没有被杀害或其他,而他,因为心地善良,所以没有杀害她。罗切斯特他本身是没有错的!
但是,简爱却接受不了他已婚的事实,无论任何原因,她的自尊心不允许她接受已婚的男人。
有一段话让我印象非常深刻:“你以为我贫穷、低微、不美、矮小,我就没有灵魂没有心了吗?——你想错了!我跟你一样有灵魂——也完全一样有一颗心!要是上帝赐予我一点美貌和大量财富,我也会让你难以离开我,就像我现在难以离开你一样。我现在不是凭着习俗、常规,甚至也不是凭着肉体凡胎跟你说话,而是我的心灵在跟你的心灵说话,就像我们都已离开人世,两人平等地一同站在上帝跟前——是因为我们本来就平等!”
罗切斯特的善良,简爱的独立平等令我感动,愿他们幸福!
篇4:《简爱》英文读后感
全文共 6014 字
+ 加入清单One hundred and sixty years ago,when Charlotte Bronte created Jane Eyre,she could have never thought that it would become eternal.As a matter of fact, in the world of today,there are tens of thousands of Jane Eyre,each living in a readers heart,breathing with him the same air and sharing with him the same happiness and sorrow.Her rich mental world has become an inexhaustible resource of spirtual power.From Jane Eyre,people who are timid and shy get confidence and self-respect;people who feel imprisoned get independence and freedom;people who are lonesome get love and care.However, what I get from Jane Eyre is the courage of inner qestioning and self-exploring.
Jane Eyre is a young orphan being raised by Mrs. Reed, her cruel, wealthy aunt. A servant named Bessie provides Jane with some of the few kindnesses she receives, telling her stories and singing songs to her. One day, as punishment for fighting with her bullying cousin John Reed, Jane’s aunt imprisons Jane in the red-room, the room in which Jane’s Uncle Reed died. While locked in, Jane, believing that she sees her uncle’s ghost, screams and faints. She wakes to find herself in the care of Bessie and the kindly apothecary Mr. Lloyd, who suggests to Mrs. Reed that Jane be sent away to school. To Jane’s delight, Mrs. Reed concurs.
Once at the Lowood School, Jane finds that her life is far from idyllic. The school’s headmaster is Mr. Brocklehurst, a cruel, hypocritical, and abusive man. Brocklehurst preaches a doctrine of poverty and privation to his students while using the school’s funds to provide a wealthy and opulent lifestyle for his own family. At Lowood, Jane befriends a young girl named Helen Burns, whose strong, martyrlike attitude toward the school’s miseries is both helpful and displeasing to Jane. A massive typhus epidemic sweeps Lowood, and Helen dies of consumption. The epidemic also results in the departure of Mr. Brocklehurst by attracting attention to the insalubrious conditions at Lowood. After a group of more sympathetic gentlemen takes Brocklehurst’s place, Jane’s life improves dramatically. She spends eight more years at Lowood, six as a student and two as a teacher.
After teaching for two years, Jane yearns for new experiences. She accepts a governess position at a manor called Thornfield, where she teaches a lively French girl named Adèle. The distinguished housekeeper Mrs. Fairfax presides over the estate. Jane’s employer at Thornfield is a dark, impassioned man named Rochester, with whom Jane finds herself falling secretly in love. She saves Rochester from a fire one night, which he claims was started by a drunken servant named Grace Poole. But because Grace Poole continues to work at Thornfield, Jane concludes that she has not been told the entire story. Jane sinks into despondency when Rochester brings home a beautiful but vicious woman named Blanche Ingram. Jane expects Rochester to propose to Blanche. But Rochester instead proposes to Jane, who accepts almost disbelievingly.
The wedding day arrives, and as Jane and Mr. Rochester prepare to exchange their vows, the voice of Mr. Mason cries out that Rochester already has a wife. Mason introduces himself as the brother of that wife—a woman named Bertha. Mr. Mason testifies that Bertha, whom Rochester married when he was a young man in Jamaica, is still alive. Rochester does not deny Mason’s claims, but he explains that Bertha has gone mad. He takes the wedding party back to Thornfield, where they witness the insane Bertha Mason scurrying around on all fours and growling like an animal. Rochester keeps Bertha hidden on the third story of Thornfield and pays Grace Poole to keep his wife under control. Bertha was the real cause of the mysterious fire earlier in the story. Knowing that it is impossible for her to be with Rochester, Jane flees Thornfield.
Penniless and hungry, Jane is forced to sleep outdoors and beg for food. At last, three siblings who live in a manor alternatively called Marsh End and Moor House take her in. Their names are Mary, Diana, and St. John (pronounced “Sinjin”) Rivers, and Jane quickly becomes friends with them. St. John is a clergyman, and he finds Jane a job teaching at a charity school in Morton. He surprises her one day by declaring that her uncle, John Eyre, has died and left her a large fortune: 20,000 pounds. When Jane asks how he received this news, he shocks her further by declaring that her uncle was also his uncle: Jane and the Riverses are cousins. Jane immediately decides to share her inheritance equally with her three newfound relatives.
St. John decides to travel to India as a missionary, and he urges Jane to accompany him—as his wife. Jane agrees to go to India but refuses to marry her cousin because she does not love him. St. John pressures her to reconsider, and she nearly gives in. However, she realizes that she cannot abandon forever the man she truly loves when one night she hears Rochester’s voice calling her name over the moors. Jane immediately hurries back to Thornfield and finds that it has been burned to the ground by Bertha Mason, who lost her life in the fire. Rochester saved the servants but lost his eyesight and one of his hands. Jane travels on to Rochester’s new residence, Ferndean, where he lives with two servants named John and Mary.
At Ferndean, Rochester and Jane rebuild their relationship and soon marry. At the end of her story, Jane writes that she has been married for ten blissful years and that she and Rochester enjoy perfect equality in their life together. She says that after two years of blindness, Rochester regained sight in one eye and was able to behold their first son at his birth.
Actually,not only do I inspired by Jane Eyres character,but also I am moved by the love of Rochester.I believe that every one of us may have thought about our Mr.Right after reading this book.He doesnt need to be so handsome .However,he must be good to us and take our things as the most important things.Yes, we are all expecting...
篇5:《夏洛的网》学生片段读后感
全文共 391 字
+ 加入清单今天,我一口气读完了E。B怀特写的《夏洛的网》,使我的心灵十分感动!
文中主要讲了:在朱克曼家的仓库里,一只小猪和一只蜘蛛建立了最真挚的友谊,但是一个丑恶的消息打破了仓库的平静:小猪威尔伯将来的命运竟是会变成熏肉火腿,作为一只猪,他似乎只能接受任人宰割的命运了,然而,看似渺小的蜘蛛夏洛却说“我救你”
于是,他用自己的丝在网上织出来被人们视为奇迹的字眼!救了威尔伯,但是自己的生命却走到了尽头……
读完后,我留下了最真挚的泪水,也留下了最深的思考:是呀!一只蜘蛛会为了好朋友宁可去死,我们虽然不用去死,但却为朋友做过什么?我想什么也没走过吧!
当我读到:威尔伯永远忘不了夏洛“时,我十分欣慰,认为威尔伯并不是那种忘恩负义的,过河拆桥的人,他会感恩,感恩夏洛的救命之恩。
夏洛死了,没有人知道它这一世做过什么,但是威尔伯知道。夏洛用那张大网编织出了一张大网,网住了你我心中无穷无尽的爱与温暖……
篇6:《简爱》读后感笔记
全文共 859 字
+ 加入清单前不久,我从图书馆借到了夏洛蒂的代表作《简爱》,一回到家,我便如饥似渴地读起来。
这本书主要讲述了简爱由丑小鸭逐渐蜕变成白天鹅的过程。简爱从小就是一名孤儿,被舅舅收养。舅舅很疼爱她,可惜早早去世了。舅母却认为她是个累赘,动不动对她打骂不休,表哥表姐也对她冷眼相待,在这座房子里,她受尽了侮辱与折磨。
后来她到一所慈善学校学习,这所学校要受到挨打,罚站,剪头发等凌辱,伙食十分恶劣,生活环境及其不卫生。感冒不能及时治疗,注定了一大半会受训传染,斑疹夺取了许多孩子的命,简在这样一所学校里,亲眼目睹了一切,她仇恨这个学校,尤其仇恨这个学校的创始人布洛赫斯特先生,他是一个伪君子,这所学校根本是人间地狱,可简爱并没有丧失对生活的勇气和信心,在这样的学校里成绩拔尖,成为了一名家庭教师。
在第一份工作的过程中,她找到了属于自己的爱情:简遇到了罗切斯特先生,虽然罗切斯特比简年纪大,人长得也不漂亮,但他们的思想却有许多共鸣之处,简自然地爱上了他。简并不在意罗切斯特的万贯家财和名利地位,她要的只是一份真实情感,一份友好坦率。正因为她的正直,高尚,纯洁,心灵没有受到世俗社会的污染,使她得到了期盼已久的爱情,如愿以偿地摆脱了以前黑暗的生活。
简爱传奇般的一生深深震撼了我,面对残酷的生活环境,她没有向命运屈服,而是坚定不移地追求着自己的理想;面对不公平的待遇,她没有逆来顺受,而是不屈不挠地去争取尊严……当遭受表哥莫名地打骂时,她作出了反抗,坚定扞卫自己的尊严。在那个年代,家庭教师因为薪水微薄而被普遍认为是低贱的工作,可简爱并没有感到自卑,认为自己与他人是平等的,仍充满自信地对待世界的一切。
对简爱,我有的是欣赏和赞美。她追求独立的人格,追求男女之间精神的平等。虽经历不幸却热爱生活,并把爱带给每个需要她的人。为了自己的爱的信念,平等的真实纯粹的爱,甚至毅然放弃渴望以久的唾手可得的爱情,并最终也自己的爱人实现了精神上的平等。
简爱的一生,虽然平凡但不平庸。在我心中,简爱是充满智慧、自信与不屈精神的象征。她的生命,有如彗星的闪亮和美丽。

全文共 1109 字
+ 加入清单Jane Eyre, is a poor but aspiring, small in body but huge in soul, obscure but self-respecting girl. 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 past.
We remember her pursuit of justice. It’s like a companion with the goodness. But still, a virtuous person should promote the goodness on one side and must check the badness on the other side.
We remember her self-respect and the clear situation on equality. In her opinion, everyone is the same at the God’s feet. Though there are differences in status、in property and also in appearance, but all the human being are equal in personality.
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 personality.
篇8:2024年《简爱》读后感800字
全文共 843 字
+ 加入清单放暑假了,我在假期里读了《简爱》一书,颇有感想!
书里主要写了女主人公简。爱从小是个孤儿,寄养在舅母家里。由于她没有财产、没有地位,自幼就受到虐待和歧视。也因此,简。爱从小就养成了反抗不合理社会习俗的坚强个性。之后,她进入了罗沃德学校学习。毕业后,简。爱来到桑菲尔德庄园任家庭教师,她的自尊、自爱和自信赢得了人们的敬重。在与主人罗切斯特先生相处的过程中,两人都被对方的气质所吸引,他们经历了无数的挫折和磨难,最终走到了一起。
读完此书,我被简。爱那独立自主、自强不息的精神品格,那丰富、明确、坚定的追求女性在社会上的独立和尊严的个性所震撼,我也为海伦的智慧、爱心、真诚所感动。是的,虽然她在人世间的生命是短暂的,可她的一生却绽放出流星般的光芒。我还为罗切斯特先生的热情奔放、敢作敢为、敢爱敢恨、有同情心而感到敬佩。我憎恨里德太太,她对穷人的痛恨是简·爱以及读者都难以忘记的,她作为简·爱的舅母,狠心地将年仅十岁的简·爱送进孤儿所,并一心盼望她在瘟疫中死掉!
《简爱》就像是现实生活中的“灰姑娘”的奋斗史,简·爱坚强地面对困难,挫折,她还追求男女间的平等,穷人与富人之间的平等。正如她所说的那样:“我跟你一样有灵魂,也同样有一颗心!”
《简爱》教会了我们坚强地面对生活中的挫折,她也同样教会了我们要平等对待生活中的事物以及各式各样的人,她还教会了我们要在生活中自强自立……
是的,我有时侯还不能够平等待人;还不能够面对各种挫折;还不能够在学习、生活上完全自立。
记得有一次,我数学题目做不出来,我也没有认真地思考一下,就让爸爸帮忙,但爸爸说他没有空,叫我自己思考去解决问题。可我却偷懒,吵着让父亲教我。爸爸就让我反复看书上的例题,让我真正看懂了,再让我做作业题,我一下子全懂了!我终于明白了,我们遇到困难时要有信心、要敢于面对困难、学会自力更生。
我反复读了好几遍《简爱》,也流了好多的眼泪,是同情、感动的眼泪,也树立了奋发进取、自强自立的信念。漫漫人生路上,《简爱》是我的精神财富,将鼓励我不断前进。
篇9:《藤野先生》片段读后感
全文共 379 字
+ 加入清单读了《藤野先生》这本书,我感受到了藤野先生对工作恪尽职守,不持偏见的高尚品格。
文章主要记录作者在日本留学时期的学习生活,叙述在仙台医专受日本学生歧视、侮辱和决定弃医从文的经历。作者突出地记述了日本老师藤野先生严谨、正直、热诚、没有民族偏见的高尚品格,表达了作者对藤野先生的深切怀念。
而藤野先生作为一位日本的医学教授,因为表现出平等待人的态度,因为关心弱国子民的学业,他质朴而伟大的人格令人肃然起敬。他所做的一切都很平凡,如果我们不设身处地想象鲁迅当时的处境,便很难感受到这位老师的伟大。、在现今社会中,也有许多好老师,正如在网上热传的“最美教师”张丽莉,为了救几名孩子,失去了双腿,下半身只能在轮椅上度过。即便是自己的老师,也无不是恪尽职守,用汗水和青春来哺育我们,教育我们。她们就如红烛一般,燃烧自己,照亮他人。其实只要我们仔细体会,便可感受到老师的伟大!
篇10:《简爱》暑假读后感
全文共 770 字
+ 加入清单你以为,就因为我贫穷、低微、不美、矮小,我就没有灵魂,也没有心吗?不,你错了!我跟你一样有灵魂——也同样有一颗心!”这是摘自《简爱》第二十三章的一段话,也是让我、让后人最有感触的一句话。
简爱是这本书的女主人公,她从小是一个孤儿,寄养在舅母家里,寄人篱下。由于简爱没有财产又没有地位,所以自由自幼就受到欺负和歧视,特别是她的舅母——里德太太。也因此,简爱从小就养成了独立,敢于斗争,懂得反抗的个性。之后,她进入了劳渥德学校学习。毕业后,简爱来到桑菲尔德庄园当家庭教师,与主人罗切斯特先生互相产生了爱慕之情。最终经历了无数挫折和磨难,走到了一起。
在文学,《简爱》这本书无疑是非常成功的,她深深地进入人们的灵魂,以一种不可抗拒的美吸引了成千上万的读者,影响着人们的精神世界。这本书的作者夏洛蒂勃朗特以自己为原型,创造了一个前所未有的女性形象——对于平等、独立、完整、自由的坚持和追求的坚强女性。她认为,“真正的幸福,在于美好的精神世界和高尚纯洁的心灵。”
《简爱》就像是现实生活中的“灰姑娘”的奋斗史,在书中,简爱坚强地面对各种困难挫折,她还追求男女间的平等,穷人与富人之间的平等。正如她所说的那样:“我跟你一样有灵魂,也同样有一颗心!”简爱虽然貌不惊人,身材矮小,但她拥有不同寻常的气质,就像懂得反抗,争取自由等,这让她变得光彩夺目。简爱她有自己的尊严,她努力维护自己的尊严,正如她说过的一句话:“当我无缘无故挨打时,我们应该狠狠回击……”这便是简爱具有反抗精神的体现。我想也正是这种精神,使《简爱》这本书经久不衰。
《简爱》这部小说自出版以来,以不同语言在全世界不同种族的人们中广为流传。现在简爱已作为独立女性的经典。我希望不管是贫穷,还是富有;不管是貌美如花,还是相貌平庸的女性,都能够拥有美好的心灵和宽阔的心胸,都能以独立和坚强的个性的生活。
篇11:《简爱》读后感_《简爱》中学生读书笔记
全文共 1273 字
+ 加入清单《简·爱》的故事背景是在19世纪的英国,简·爱的父亲是个穷牧师,当她还在幼年时,父母就双双去世,于是她被送到了舅舅里德先生家,但里德先生也早逝,在他临死之前,嘱咐妻子好好照顾简·爱。简·爱在里德太太家里的地位非常低,受尽欺辱。由于缺乏爱,她变成一个叛逆,坏脾气,不讨人喜欢的女孩。后来,里德太太就把它送进了罗沃德孤儿院,而孤儿院的院长却用种.种办法从精神和肉体上摧残孤儿们。之后,在孤儿院里流传一种传染性伤寒,这场伤寒夺去了许多孤儿的生命,其中简·爱的好友海伦也在这场伤寒中死去,简·爱深受打击。简·爱毕业留校两年后,由于受不了学校里的冷漠,她登广告在桑费尔德庄园找到了一个家庭教师的工作。庄园里的男主人罗切斯特是个性格阴郁而且喜怒无常的人,他和简·爱经常辩论不休。简爱深受男主人女儿的喜欢,慢慢的,她与男主人也逐渐化解冷漠,简爱逐渐打动了罗切斯特,他们两相爱了。然而在婚礼上,简爱却发现罗切斯特还有个疯了的太太,痛苦中,简爱选择离开山庄。她回去找到了年幼时的舅母,并照顾着此时已中风的舅母。一天,简爱知道了罗切斯特的太太纵火烧了山庄,罗切斯特残废而且失明,正当他陷入一生中最悲惨的时刻,简爱回来了,并答应照顾要他一辈子,他们两也结了婚。
读后感想:《简爱》是一部带有自传色彩的长篇小说,其中许多地方都与作者的亲身经历有很大的关系,所以人们都普遍认为《简爱》是夏洛蒂·勃朗特“诗意的生平写照”。这本小说主要通过简爱曲折的生活道路和她与罗切斯特之间一波三折的爱情故事,塑造了一个历经磨难,却始终坚持维护独立人格,追求个性自由,主张人生平等,不向人生低头的坚强女性。在逆境面前,她并没有低头,没有绝望,没有在屈辱中沉沦。当她在学校被羞辱时,她化悲愤为力量,不仅在学习上飞速进步,也取得了他人的理解;当她在身份尊贵的情敌面前,她从容面对,显得大家闺秀,保持着个人高贵的尊严;当她在心爱的人罗切斯特面前,她不会因为自己的地位卑贱而感到自卑,反而用自己的正直,高尚,纯洁的心灵让罗切斯特自惭形秽,并获得对方的尊敬以及真挚的爱;当他发现爱的人已有了妻子,于是她毫不犹豫的离开了他,始终捍卫这自己高贵的尊严和对爱情高尚的信仰。这是一个具有新兴阶级特性的女性,在她身上的种.种,无一不体现了勇敢,坚强与执着。
人的一生的确要走过许多泥泞,遭到很多波折,但能在摔倒之后,勇敢地站起来,并且无畏的朝前走去的又有多少人能够做到呢?这就是简爱能够感动我们的原因。她的确是一位伟大的女性,她的伟大不是因为干过什么惊天动地的大事,而是因为在平凡中,在面对自己的人生的时候知道该怎样去选择,并勇敢的去做,即使在迷惘中,也能始终坚持着自己最初的信仰。在遇到不公时她会勇敢地反抗,当确定目标时,她会努力的去最求,无论经历了多少,都始终保持着一颗纯洁的心,不计前嫌,对以前对自己不好的人好,这些无一不散发着耀眼的光芒。
《简爱》用一个个文字组成了一个的故事,用这个故事感动了无数的人。在成天盲目的追逐之后,再一句句抱怨之前,想想简爱,想想她是怎样面对生活,这无疑也会是一盏很好的指路明灯。

全文共 922 字
+ 加入清单人最美好的生活是尊严和爱,女性存在的价值就是认识如何的美丽,认识她们的善良,认识她们本身所存在的价值,认识她们的价值就是承认她们有价值,并且很高。
《简·爱》就很明白的诠释了这种道理,《简·爱》所展现给我们的正是一种化繁琐为简单,是一种返璞归真,是一种追求全心付出的感觉,是一种不计得失简化明了的爱情,它犹如一杯冰心净化每一位读者的心灵,震憾着每一位读者的思想。
《简·爱》讲述的是女评价公简·爱的成长历程,她从小失去父母,寄住在舅妈家,不平等的待遇,让她饱受欺凌,小小年纪就承受了别人无法想像的委屈和痛苦。在寄宿学校,她经受苦难,度过了八年,八年的教育也使得她成为一个知识渊博、宽容博爱的人,成年后,她成了桑菲尔德贵族庄园的家庭教师,她用她的真挚感情和高尚的品德赢得了主人的尊敬和爱恋,谁料命运对她如此残忍,她为这段婚姻又付出了难以计算的代价,在这过程中,她痛苦忍受着身体和思想上的双重煎熬,但自始至终她都坚持着自己的信念,执着自己的理想与追求,最后,虽然罗切斯切的庄园毁了,罗切斯特也成了残疾了,但我们看到了正是这样一个条件,使简·爱不再在尊严和爱之间矛盾,而同时获得满足,——她在求罗切斯特的时候有尊严,同时也是有爱情的。
现实社会中人的价值=尊严+爱,这道公式付之实现常心离不开金钱的帮助,人们的疯狂地为了金钱和地位而淹没爱情,在穷与富之间选择富,在爱与不爱之间选择不爱,很少人会像简这样为爱情为人格抛弃所有,而且义无反顾。
简·爱这样一个坚强的女性形象也是作者夏洛蒂·勃朗特的化身,她借一个出身寒微的女子,来抒发自己胸中的情愫,深深打却读者,小说不仅有着真实性和强烈的感染力,还塑造了一个不屈于世俗压力独立自主,积极进取的女性形象。
文中的“你认为因为我穷,低微,不漂亮,矮小我就没有灵魂,没有心吗?”一句话最能体现出简·爱为了尊严积极进取的精神,也被万人传诵,对简·爱来说,灵魂的高傲与自尊已经远远地超过财富与美貌所具有的魅力,文章也以罗莎蒙这样的形象与简·爱构成对比,说明这句话。
不管在哪儿,我们都要保持人性的尊严和心灵的自由,无论面临着多么严峻的挑战或是多么残酷的考验,我们都要保持最大的尊严,不论女性还是男性,人生的价值就等于尊严和爱。
篇14:高中生《简爱》读后感500字
全文共 775 字
+ 加入清单在2006年我就拿到这本书,但我这个人非常的浮躁,持续几次也没有看完。
在大学里,我根本很少有时间是我的,每次就怀着一点点的好奇的心,看了一点点。
现在出来了,我再次拿起这本书,在一个星期的时间里,慢慢看完了这个书。
很多评论家,对它有很多看法,在这里我只想说说我的想法。
8、9岁时就开始反抗对自己的一切不公,伴随她的是始终维护自己的自尊、自爱。
约翰还有几个堂姐、舅妈对她一开始就有很大的成见,舅妈没有管好自己的孩子,任他们卑劣的品行在他们身上生根、发芽,而讨厌简爱,极力惩罚简爱,还把她送到条件极差的孤儿学校。一场严重的流行病席卷了整个学校,带走自己的好朋友海伦,自己却在艰苦的环境下自强不息,勤奋的追求知识,最后还当了教师。在这期间,她一直得到了校长的关爱,这也是她能学好知识的重要条件。当她走后,爱也随之离去。此时,她突然想了解外面的世界,觉得不应该当这井底之蛙。她放弃稳定的环境,毅然的追求自由的新生活(决策果断、独立独行)
在爱情方面,当爱降临在自己身上时,她没有逃避、萎缩,而是勇敢的去追求,得差点得到爱,但当她知道罗切斯特已婚后,尽管她是多么的爱他,但还是毅然的选择离去(自尊自爱)在极其穷困饥饿痛苦的四天后找到了自己的亲人,并得到了她叔叔给她的一大笔财产。但她没有自己一个人得,她把财产分给了自己的亲人(并不看重金钱,她更看重亲情)。后在他表哥的求婚下,她坚决的拒绝,因为她不会得到真爱,她知道,虽然他表哥长得英俊潇洒。她由于太思恋罗切斯特,最终决定去找他,当她找到时,发现他已经双目失明、残废,但还是决定跟他结婚,最后得到真爱,幸福的在一起!
简爱、罗切斯特长得都不美,但美的是一个人的心灵。一个心灵美的人往往比外表美的人要美很多!
她的对恶势力的反抗,对亲情、爱情的珍惜,对钱财的洒脱,对知识的追求,对自尊、自爱的极力维护等人物性格贯穿始终!
篇15:《简爱》读后感感悟
全文共 373 字
+ 加入清单在愉快的寒假生活中,我读了《简爱》这本书,它给了我很多启发,使我受益匪浅。
这本书主要讲了:女主人公简爱从小就失去了父母,被寄养在舅妈家中,从小就承受着与同龄人不一样的待遇,舅妈的嫌弃,表姐的蔑视,表哥的毒打与侮辱……后来,简爱进入劳渥德学校学习,毕业后,来到桑菲尔德庄园当家庭教师,与主人罗切斯特先生互相产生了爱慕之情……
简爱,她勇敢,坚强,敢于向恶势力反抗。那么,她的勇气是从哪儿来的呢?是磨练出来的。与简爱相比较一下,我是感到多么地无地自容啊!可以说,简爱受到的折磨数不胜数。而我呢?平时受到爸爸妈妈的一点点批评、责备,就会乱发脾气。
读了这部名著,我感触颇深。简爱虽然相貌并不是那么出众,但她有一颗善良真诚的心。而现在社会上,有的人外表美丽,可内心非常丑陋,他们与简爱相比,真是天壤之别呀!
读了这本书,我觉得我要向简爱学习,学习她的坚强勇敢。
篇16:《藤野先生》片段读后感
全文共 447 字
+ 加入清单这学期,我的家人帮我买了《散文大全》这本书。这本书有许多篇散文,每一篇散文意义深刻,让人很难理解,不过你认真读,反复读,还是能读出一些其中的意义。
这本书主要讲了一个人在其一生中,阅读一些立意深远,具有丰富哲学思想散文,不仅可以开阔视野,重新认识历史,社会,人生和自然,获得思想上盎然新意,而且还可以学习中外散文名家高超而成熟的创作技巧。
在这么多散文中,令我印象最深的一篇散文是鲁迅先生写的《藤野先生》。这篇散文主要讲了鲁迅先生回忆在日本留学期间的生活片段,以诚挚的感情描写了对日本学者藤野先生的深切怀念,并叙述了自己对当时现实的光感。文章重点写藤野先生。首先是摹写他的外表,然后不惜笔墨挖掘他的精神气质。选择了五个例子,用白描手法予以描绘。整篇文章步步近展,层层开拓,犹如大潮顺势直下,极有声势。而作者的感情贯穿于三个层次之间,成为结构的纽带,这情就是对藤野先生的思念,对祖国的热爱,对黑暗现实的愤恨。
这样就使这篇散文十分紧凑而又气韵萌生,相当感人。
读了这篇文章之后让我明白很多道理,学会做人。

+ 加入清单星期六早上,闲来无事,我打开抽屉,拿出一本浅绿色封面的书,翻开后,一股淡淡的油墨香味扑鼻而来。这本书名叫《简爱》,是我8岁生日时妈妈送给我的。
《简·爱》的作者是夏洛蒂勃朗特,这是一本以爱情为主题的小说,主要写了出生于穷牧师家庭的简爱从小就受尽舅母与表兄妹的欺辱,后来被送进了孤儿院。进入孤儿院后,她还是没能摆脱悲惨的命运,唯一开心的是结识了新朋友海伦。后来海伦死去,简离开了孤儿院,成为了一个庄园的仆人,这时她爱上了庄园的主人罗切斯特……最后两人如愿以偿,长相厮守。
在这本书里,使我印象最深的还是简爱这个人物。简爱是一个心地纯洁、善于思考、不甘忍受社会压迫、用于追求幸福的女性。她在社会底层受尽了磨难,生活遭遇更是令人同情,但她自尊自强。她的一句:“我们是平等的……至少我们通过坟墓,平等地站到上帝面前。”令所有人都为之震撼,深深感受到她的崇高精神与人格魅力。简爱认为爱情也应该建立在平等的基础上,并不取决于社会的地位、财富与容貌,只有男女真正爱上对方,才有可能获得幸福。在这点上,简爱就表现出了一心渴望幸福的强烈欲望,尽管自己身处仆人地位,但她还是没有放弃对罗切斯特的追求……
读《简·爱》吧,相信它一定能使你受益匪浅!

篇19:《简爱》学生优秀读后感范本
全文共 907 字
+ 加入清单这是一部以爱情为主题的小说。主人公简·爱是一个心地纯洁、善于思考的女性,她生活在社会底层,受尽磨难。她的生活遭遇令人同情,但她那倔强的性格和勇于追求平等幸福的精神更为人们所赞赏。
小说主要描写了简·爱与罗契斯特的爱情。简·爱的爱情观更加深化了她的个性。她认为爱情应该建立在精神平等的基础上,而不应取决于社会地位、财富和外貌,只有男女双方彼此真正相爱,才能得到真正的幸福。在追求个人幸福时,简·爱表现出异乎寻常的纯真、朴实的思想感情和一往无前的勇气。她并没有因为自己的仆人地位而放弃对幸福的追求,她的爱情是纯洁高尚的,她对罗契斯特的财富不屑一顾,她之所以钟情于他,就是因为他能平等待人,把她视作朋友,与她坦诚相见。对罗契斯特说来,简·爱犹如一股清新的风,使他精神为之一振。罗契斯特过去看惯了上层社会的冷酷虚伪,简·爱的纯朴、善良和独立的个性重新唤起他对生活的追求和向往。因而他能真诚地在简面前表达他善良的愿望和改过的决心。
简·爱同情罗契斯特的不幸命运,认为他的错误是客观环境造成的。尽管他其貌不扬,后来又破产成了残废,但她看到的是他内心的美和令人同情的不幸命运,所以最终与他结婚。小说通过罗契斯特两次截然不同的爱情经历,批判了以金钱为基础的婚姻和爱情观,并始终把简·爱和罗契斯特之间的爱情描写为思想、才能、品质与精神上的完全默契。
简·爱是个不甘忍受社会压迫、勇于追求个人幸福的女性。无论是她的贫困低下的社会地位,或是她那漂泊无依的生活遭遇,都是当时英国下层人民生活的真实写照。作者能够把一个来自社会下层的觉醒中的新女性摆到小说的主人公地位,并对主人公为反抗压迫和社会偏见、力争取独立的人格和尊严、为追求幸福生活所作的顽强斗争加以热情歌颂,这在当时的文学作品中是难能可贵的。
《简·爱》是一部具有浓厚浪漫主义色彩的现实主义小说。整部作品以自叙形式写成。大量运用心理描写是小说的一大特色。全书构思精巧,情节波澜起伏,给读者制造出一种阴森恐怖的气氛,而又不脱离一个中产阶级家庭的背景。作者还以行情的笔法描写了主人公之间的真挚爱情和自然风景,感情色彩丰富而强烈。这部优美、动人并带有神秘色彩的小说,至今仍保持着它独特的艺术魅力。

篇1:《简爱》英文读后感
Jane Eyre, is a poor but aspiring, small in body but huge in soul, obscure but self-respecting girl. 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 past.
We remember her pursuit of justice. It’s like a companion with the goodness. But still, a virtuous person should promote the goodness on one side and must check the badness on the other side.
We remember her self-respect and the clear situation on equality. In her opinion, everyone is the same at the God’s feet. Though there are differences in status、in property and also in appearance, but all the human being are equal in personality.
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 personality.
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 it. 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 mind. God hadn’t given her beauty and wealth, but instead, God gave her a kind mind and a thinking brain. Her idea of equality and self-respect impress us so much and let us feel the power inside her body.
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 more. 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 not.
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 beauty.
篇2:《简爱》英文读后感
I first read "Jane Eyre" in eighth grade and have read it every few years since. It is one of my favorite novels, and so much more than a gothic romance to me, although thats how I probably would have defined it at age 13. I have always been struck, haunted in a way, by the characters - Jane and Mr. Rochester. They take on new depth every time I meet them...and theirs is a love story for the ages.
Charlotte Brontes first published novel,www.99zuowen.com, and her most noted work, is a semi-autobiographical coming-of-age story. Jane is plain, poor, alone and unprotected, but due to her fierce independence and strong will she grows and is able to defy societys expectations of her. This is definitely feminist literature, published in 1847, way before the beginning of any feminist movement. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the novel has had such a wide following since it first came on the market. It is also one of the first gothic romances published and defines the genre.
Jane Eyre, who is our narrator, was born into a poor family. Her parents died when she was a small child and the little girl was sent to live with her Uncle and Aunt Reed at Gateshead. Janes Uncle truly cared for her and showed his affection openly, but Mrs. Reed seemed to hate the orphan, and neglected her while she pampered and spoiled her own children. This unfair treatment emphasized Janes status as an unwanted outsider. She was often punished harshly. On one occasion her nasty cousin Jack picked a fight with her. Jane tried to defend herself and was locked in the terrifying "Red Room" as a result. Janes Uncle Reed had died in this room a little while before, and Mrs. Reed knew how frightened she was of the chamber. Since Jane is the narrator, the reader is given a first-hand impression of the childs feelings, her heightened emotional state at being imprisoned. Indeed, she seems almost like an hysterical child, filled with terror and rage. She repeatedly calls her condition in life "unjust" and is filled with bitterness. Looking into the mirror Jane sees a distorted image of herself. She views her reflection and sees a "strange little figure," or "tiny phantom." Jane has not learned yet to subordinate her passions to her reason. Her passions still erupt unchecked. Her isolation in the Red Room is a presentiment of her later isolation from almost every society and community. This powerful, beautifully written scene never fails to move me.
Mrs. Reed decided to send Jane away to the Lowood School, a poor institution run by Mr. Brocklehurst, who believed that suffering made grand people. All the children there were neglected, except to receive harsh punishment when any mistake was made. At Lowood, Jane met Helen Burns, a young woman a little older than Jane, who guided her with vision, light and love for the rest of her life. Janes need for love was so great. It really becomes obvious in this first friendship. Helen later died from fever, in Janes arms. Her illness and death could have been avoided if more attention had been paid to the youths. Jane stayed at Lowood for ten years, eight as a student and two as a teacher. Tired and depressed by her surroundings, Jane applied for the position of governess and found employment at Thornfield. The mansion is owned by a gentleman named Edward Fairfax Rochester. Her job there was to teach his ward, an adorable little French girl, Adele. Over a long period the moody, inscrutable Rochester confides in Jane and she in him. The two form an unlikely friendship and eventually fall in love. Again, Janes need for love comes to the fore, as does her passionate nature. She blooms. A dark, gothic figure, Rochester also has a heart filled with the hope of true love and future happiness with Jane. Ironically, he has brought all his misery, past and future, on himself.
All is not as it seems at Thornfield. There is a strange, ominous woman servant, Grace Poole, who lives and works in an attic room. She keeps to herself and is rarely seen. From the first, however, Jane has sensed bizarre happenings at night, when everyone is asleep .There are wild cries along with violent attempts on Rochesters life by a seemingly unknown person. Jane wonders why no one investigates Mrs. Poole. Then a strange man visits Thornfield and mysteriously disappears with Mr. Rochester. Late that night Jane is asked to sit with the man while the lord of the house seeks a doctors help. The man has been seriously wounded and is weak from loss of blood. He leaves by coach, in a sorry state, first thing in the morning. Janes questions are not answered directly. This visit will have dire consequences on all involved. An explosive secret revealed will destroy all the joyful plans that Jane and Rochester have made. Jane, once more will face poverty and isolation.
Charlotte Brontes heroine Jane Eyre, may not have been graced with beauty or money, but she had a spirit of fire and was filled with integrity and a sense of independence - character traits that never waned in spite of all the oppression she encountered in life. Ms. Bronte brings to the fore in "Jane Eyre" such issues as: the relations between men and women in the mid-19 century, womens equality, the treatment of children and of women, religious faith and hypocrisy (and the difference between the two), the realization of selfhood, and the nature of love and passion. This is a powerhouse of a novel filled with romance, mystery and passions. It is at once startlingly fresh and a portrait of the times. Ms. Bronte will make your heart beat faster, your pulse race and your eyes fill with tears.
