篇1:巴黎圣母院观后感

看完《巴黎圣母院》这本书已经有一段时间了,我的内心到现在却依旧无法平静,外表丑陋的卡西莫多让我对“美”有了不一样的感悟,所以特此写下了心中感想。

雨果所著的《巴黎圣母院》主要讲述了长相丑陋但心地善良的卡西莫多为了保护美丽善良的爱斯美拉达而与人面兽心的主教代理斗智斗勇的故事。书中的人物特点鲜明,情节曲折有趣,作者用辛辣的文字讽刺了当时教会的邪恶与社会的黑暗。

书中外表丑陋但心地善良的卡西莫多给我留下了深刻的印象。

卡西莫多美吗?相信很多人都会说“不”。确实,他驼背,独眼,瘸腿,还是个聋子。这样的人确实和美沾不上边。

卡西莫多不美吗?不,他美,他的心很美。他解救了被绑架的爱斯美拉达,他信任并感恩收养他的主教代理,他救下了爱刑的爱斯美拉达,他得知真相后钉了主教随后去守护已死的爱斯美拉达。这就是他,他的心中有无比圣洁的爱,这样的他难道不美吗?

鲁迅曾说:“你可以从外表的美来评论一朵花或者一只蝴蝶,但你不能这样来评价一个人。”不错,卡西莫多的外貌固然丑陋,但你能因此评论他一无是处吗?相反,他是圣洁的,美丽的,善良的!

我们再来看看菲比斯。他美吗?是,他很英俊,让单纯的爱斯美拉达对他一见倾心。可他真的美吗?他并不爱自己的表妹,却与她结婚并利用她;他玩弄爱斯美拉达的感情,得到她后便抛弃她;他亲眼看着爱斯美拉达被绞死而无动于衷。他真的美吗?

同理,主教代理相貌堂堂却因爱生恨,亲手杀害自己心爱的女人,这样的他真的美吗?

在此之前,对于美与丑的定义,我很肤浅。我觉得美就是“漂亮”“好看”现在我有了不一样的理解。美不仅仅是外表的漂亮、好看,更是一种由内而外的善良纯洁。卡西莫多就拥有这样的美丽,他是那样的圣洁善良,这种美丽是他人所无法达到的。

在读完《巴黎圣母院》后不久,我读到奥斯特洛夫斯基的一句话:人的美并不在于外貌衣服发式,而在于他的本身,在于他的心。于是,我对“美”有了更深刻的理解:外表的美丽固然让人赏心悦目,而内在的美丽更能让人刻骨铭心!

Pride and Prejudice is a novel written by the famous English writer, Jane Austen, who was the sixth children in a family of seven and was born in the village of steventon in Hampshire in 1775 and died of Addison’s disease in 1817. The book first published on 28 January 1813 by the bookseller Thomas Egerton who had also published Sense and Sensibility, the original version of the novel was written in 1796-1797 under the title First Impressions .

Pride and Prejudice is a love story, mainly tells the love between Elizabeth and Darcy. It divided into 2 volumes and is composed of 42 chapters altogether. The major characters are Mr. Darcy, A rich and proud young man. Elizabeth, the second eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet. Mr. Bingley , A rich young bachelor. Jane, the first daughter of Mr. and Mrs.Bennet. The story begin with Bingley’s arrival. One day when Mrs.Bennet hear Bingley has taken Netherfield, a house near her’s. She is so happy and arranged one of her five daughters marriage with him. At a ball, luckly, Bingley and Jane fall in love at the first sight. Darcy, a friend of Bingley’s , was attracted to Elizabeth, a lively and spirited girl. But Darcy greatly offends her by his supercilious behavior and this dislike is increased by Wickham, a dashing young militia officer of the unjust treatment he has met with at Darcys hands.

One day when Darcy and Bingley’s two sisters disgusted with the vulgarity of Mrs. Bennet and her two youngest daughters, effectively separated Bingley and Jane. Meanwhile, Collins, a cousin of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet, married charlotte, a friend of Elizabeth’s, for Elizabeth’s refuse to marry him. But One day Darcy send Elizabeth a letter, in which he justifies the separation of his friend Bingley and Jane and make it clear that Wickham is. So Elizabeth changed her opinions and ideas toward him. Once when Elizabeth visited her uncle and aunt in the north of England, she met Darcy there and witnessed his changes through series of behaviors, no longer pride and become gentle and attentive, all these made their marriage arranged, and they also suitably provided for Bingley and Jane’s reunited and engaged. The story ends with both their happy marriages.

My point of view towards the masterpiece of Jane Austen’s is that this novel reflects the English human sentiment of the end of 18th century and the early of 19th century under the circumstance of conservative,and tells us the difference ways and attitudes to marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet’s five daughters’. Thereby reveal the author herself attitude towards marriage, that is love and marriage based on money, property and social status is not perfect, but it is also stupid Without considering all of these. There, the author emphasize the importance of ideal marriage, meanwhile, to be opposed to love & marriage based on money or property and to be opposed to people’s laugh love & marriage off.

The author takes the affection/love as the cornerstone of ideal marriage between male and female. Elizabeth as the leading character in this novel, was born in the family of squireen’s, and is loved by Darcy. Darcy propose marriage to her in spite of difference in the possession of property and social status, but is refused byElizabeth for his pride , the novel demonstrate that if the pride of Darcy’s existed , there will be no love and also happy marriage between Elizabeth and he, it is really nice that Elizabeth witness the changes of Darcy’s through series of behavior in the following days.

Viewing that he is no longer pride and then eliminating her prejudice to him, finally engaged with him and leading a happy marriage. The author described that female is in pursuit of independent personality and equal right through several different attitudes of Elizabeth for Darcy’s propose marriage. Meanwhile, demonstrate Elizabeth’s independent understanding for a happy marriage. In this article, the writer described several unperfect marriages of Elizabeth’s sisters and close friends, aimed at making a sharp contrast with Elizabeth’s beatific marriage and revealed that marriage without love but base on social status and property actually is a kind of public tragedies. Humorous, ironical, polished language and real storyline is also occurred in this article.

十九世纪中一部灿烂的浪漫派文学巨著。在作家雨果的笔下,形成了强烈的美丑对比,构成了一幅绚丽而奇异的画面,将美与丑,善与恶描写得淋漓尽致。

它的作者雨果是十九世纪伟大的诗人,声名远播的剧作家,小说家,法国浪漫派主义文学运动的领袖。《巴黎圣母院》是他的第一部引起轰动的浪漫派主义小说,他的文学价值和对社会深刻的意义,使他在经历了将近两个世纪的时间后,依然被人们所熟知。

故事围绕着美丽善良的少女爱斯梅拉达,残忍虚伪的圣母院副主教克洛德和外表丑陋,内心善良的敲钟人卡西莫多展开。波西米亚少女爱斯梅拉达天真纯洁,富有同情心,看到卡西莫多在烈日下受鞭刑,只有他会同情怜悯,把水送到敲钟人的嘴边。这样善良的女孩,却会被人诬陷成杀人犯,并被判处绞刑。爱斯梅拉达是美与善的化身,引起读者们对她的无限同情,以及对封建社会的强烈愤恨。

圣母院副主教克洛德和敲钟人卡西莫多是鲜明的对比。敲钟人卡西莫多虽然丑陋,却内心火热,通过爱斯梅拉达,他第一次体会到了温暖,便从此为她赴汤蹈火。而副主教克洛德虽然道貌岸然,过着清苦禁欲的修行生活,却对世俗的享乐充满嫉妒,他阴险,自私,为达目的不择手段,构成了一个负面人物的形象。

正是这种极端的美与丑,善与恶的强烈对比,崇高与邪恶的对立,赋予这本小说一种震撼人心的力量,能触动我们每一个人的心弦,这正是作家雨果的高明之处,这也是浪漫派主义小说的魅力所在。

书中还着重描写了巴黎最底层的人民,乞丐,流浪者……虽然他们衣衫褴楼,举止粗野,远不及那些文明世界里的人的美德。那些友爱互助,正直勇敢,舍己为人的美德。而小说中的巴黎流浪者们为救出无辜被害的爱斯梅拉达而攻打巴黎圣母院的场景,悲壮,激烈,慷慨,惊心动魄,更让我们体会到了社会底层的人的正直,讲义气,善恶分明。也体现出了作者雨果对封建社会的强烈愤恨和不满,反映出当时社会的黑暗,丑陋。

《巴黎圣母院》不愧是世界文学宝库中的一颗璀璨的明珠,雨果不愧是十九世纪浪漫主义文学的领袖。

您要说雨果先生的思想有多么崇高和伟大,我并不非常赞同。这个世界上是很难找到那么崇高和伟大的思想的。雨果,我看过很多作家的评价,他发扬了人道主义精神,作品里充满了浪漫主义色彩。浪漫主义起源于中世纪法语中的Romance(意思是“传奇”或“小说”)一词,浪漫主义手法则通过幻想或复古等手段超越现实。这种写法,不论在雨果的《悲惨世界》和《九三年》等等作品中都可以看到。如果要我告诉你什么作品才是最伟大的作品,那我回答你:给人以一种思想上共鸣的作品才是优秀的作品,同样,这种共鸣越强烈,这部作品也就越优秀、伟大。

巴黎圣母院》就是这样一部作品。现在,我们来谈这部文学史上顶尖的作品,也免去了读者听我唠叨的那份罪。

《巴黎圣母院》不论从情节上还是从人物上看,都是十分新颖伟大的。从格兰古瓦和他可怜的寓意剧开始,后跟踪爱丝美腊达,被乞丐帮追捕,与爱丝美腊达名义上的结婚到爱丝美腊达与孚比斯发生关系,被堂克洛德——圣母院副主教诬陷、出卖,卡西莫多的拼死保护,最后搂着她的尸体死去。每一个人的性格刻画得很是到位。

从堂克洛德说起,不论是哪一个出版社的序言(至少在我看到的中),都说他是魔鬼的化身。确实,他还是蛮像魔鬼的,但是卡席莫多的生命是谁救的?在每一个人都厌恶嫌弃那个可怜的驼背、独眼龙甚至聋子的丑人王的时候,只有副主教收留了他给予他了爱,所以他还不是毫无人性的。当然,同时,他的魔鬼似的行为心灵实在令人厌恶。

再说那个可怜的卖艺的少女,善良、美丽,这是大家公认的。但她的痴情害了她,一个女人对男人无比痴情,甚至对一个快要结婚的男人,甘愿做他的情妇。她的纯真与痴情害了她,甚至在攸关她生命的时候,她居然把自己完全托付给了一个并不真心爱她的人。也许这就是这个悲剧诞生的原因。

卡西莫多是一个为自己所爱的不惜一切代价的可怜而丑陋的男人,更确切地说,他是一个怪物。他似乎就是一切外表丑陋的结合,到后来我才明白为那个隐修女送饭的三个女人讲的被埃及女人掉包的孩子就是他——一个没有身世的孩子,他拥有一颗善良的心,他为了保护爱丝美腊达几乎送走了自己的生命,他的善良同样令我们感动与敬佩。

同时,还有那个孚比斯,花心、下流,一边犯罪一边似乎很虔诚地向上帝起到赦免,一个上流社会的人物,几乎还不如在巴黎街头无家可归的流浪汉。有一个人——那个全球最伟大的母亲,她是多么爱自己的孩子,甚至她付出了一切!

《巴黎圣母院》的故事似乎就发生在我们中间,它的伟大,就在于它的现实、人性与动人。

我想大家都看过美国电影《美女与野兽》吧!美丽的公主用内心善良友好的感化兽的心,唤醒隐藏在可怕外表下的美好……美与丑,不是绝对的——这是我在读完《巴黎圣母院》后的最大感受……外表是丑的,但内心可以是美的,正如敲钟人伽西莫多和巴黎最下层人民、流浪者和乞丐。外表是美的,但内心不一定是好的,那不是残忍虚伪的圣母院副主教克洛德弗罗洛吗?美的也可以改变为丑的,阴郁的地方即使再怎么“圣洁”也主导不了所有人的命运;丑的也可以感化为美的,外表丑陋又如何,他们有温暖,有善良,有勇敢,有坚强!

俗话说世上无完人,绝对美的东西可能也只能在《巴黎圣母院》里找到了,那就是外表美丽,内心善良的少女爱斯梅拉达。她,为了拯救一个素不相识的生命而找了一个名义上的丈夫;她,用清凉的水安慰烈日下的畸形;她,有几个被圣洁教会赐予的圣洁称谓:“杀人犯”“女巫”雨果把这个美与善的化身带到了巴黎圣母院的刑场上,引起我们的无限同情,召唤起我们对封建教会及王权的强烈愤恨!

外表美丽的不止有爱斯梅拉达,还有那个道貌岸然的“假和尚”克洛德弗罗洛,他没有善良,唯有妒羡、自私、阴险和不择手段,他是恶魔,他是野兽!而畸形敲钟人伽西莫多,他是可爱的猪八戒,他也是“野兽”,他外表野蛮粗俗,但他在爱斯梅拉达那儿获得温暖的体验后,他变成了暖心肠的天蓬,和为了少女的幸福而赴汤蹈火、牺牲自己一切的“野兽”!

在巴黎圣母院的外面,也有一群“野兽”,他们是衣衫褴褛,举止粗俗的巴黎最下层人民、流浪者和乞丐。他们在这个“圣洁”的世界上有着无可比拟的“教养”,他们像野兽般攻打巴黎圣母院,为的是就出他们心中的“圣母”,他们互相友爱,正直勇敢,舍己为人,用鲜血来泼洒巴黎圣母院的墙柱,用骨肉撞开圣母院的大门,我相信他们的悲壮,他们的慷慨足以捣毁圣日耳曼教堂和巴黎大主政府,也可以摧毁巴士底狱,来几场惊心动魄的大革命!

在圣母院里,爱斯梅拉达即将被处死,在教皇的统治阴霾下,在副主教的摧残下,一个披头散发的“野兽”英雄救美,卡西莫多毅然背叛他的副主教,保卫了正义。这个“野兽”被重重磨难和恐怖摧残蹂躏成畸形,但他有强健的胸膛、有自豪的眼、又冲出迷雾,坚强正义的心!这是一场美与丑的对抗,正义与邪恶的较量。雨果站在巴黎圣母院的舞台上给我们诠释了美与丑的真正含义,美丑的极端对照如洪流一般在读者心中决堤,浪漫温暖的潮水在心里,在脸上泛滥开来……

朋友们,何谓美,何谓丑呢?谁是美女,谁是野兽?

Because big Malin fish fishlike smell of wound attract odd herds of shark vie for the food again later, but the old man is still unwilling to give up like this, stress the tight encirclement finally , take the large fish back to fishing port , let other fishmen admire it endlessly. The old fisherman thinks that as I read ": It is really too close from here to coast, perhaps there are bigger fish in the farther place ……" When,admire very much because this old fisherman in the persons, because play not for some fishing he already at this moment I, but he is not satisfied with the existing state of affairs , but advance towards greater goal. Seeing us again, meet some little difficulties at ordinary times , all of us complain bitterly. We are the future of the motherland, should be as ambitious as this old man, go to pursue well , greater goal. Read as me " big Malin fish is it enclose light fishing boat move about , is it get mast to twine cable fast to begin, old man right hand hold steel fork high , jump out in a flash , affording to try ones best above water in it, a sound of wail has finished the life of the loud fish, it floats on the surface of water silently ……"When,the I one heart is too fall like pieces of stone not big. I admire that kind of fearing of the old man at all , unremitting spirit very much, though know rivals strength is very strong , but he has not shrunk back at all , meets the difficulty.

But big meat of fish take into big half already, but old man criticize ones own left hand " when the work this when have a rest " humorously also, I am subdued by old mans optimistic spirit too. In life, some losses are unavoidable, we should treat the optimistic attitude , cant worry about petty gain or loss .

这本书看完好几天了,那感觉就像是有一团说不清是什么的东西一直堵在心里,很想找人和自己探讨,很想让它澄清。书里面的经典情节很多很多,那里面展示的很多,我不能一一的重复,就这样借着几个点,说说我的巴黎圣母院读后感

让我印象深刻的场景是作者笔下的当时的那些建筑,那些奢华的象征权力的教堂,人们还不知道可以拥有自己的思想,以及为了自己的愿望可以做什么事情,一切都假借神圣的宗教,一切都假借神圣的教堂来展现,展现建筑家的审美观,也就是个人的才华,或者展示自己的能力,我想那时的人们,把人性深深地埋在一件神圣的宗教的外衣下面,典型的人物就是副主教——克洛德。从那许多的错综复杂的毫无章法的建筑群,我们不难看出,当时人们的内心是怎样的压抑,怎样狂躁,那些像雨后春笋一般从地下冒出来的教堂的尖顶,正是人们扭曲的灵魂在对着苍天做这无声的哀号!

教堂里面是那么的阴森恐怖,这让人联想到在宗教的遮拦下,当时社会是怎样的肮脏和败坏,真善美的宗教和利用宗教制造血腥事件,形成了强烈的感官刺激。通篇都是在这样的对照下进行的,让人的心灵深刻的体会出迷茫,困惑,和不安,假如有一把利剑,你会尽你的全力去刺破那层蒙在社会上空的阴云,那阴云是邪恶的,你对它布满了愤怒和鄙视,就像书里面的那些流浪汉们对待社会的疯狂的报复。可是你不能,因为假如你想刺痛那些邪恶,你就先要将代表着真善美的上帝打倒在地,那是多么残酷的事情啊!还有比人丧失本性更悲哀的么!

巴黎圣母院给我印象深刻的是这样的几个人物,代表漂亮善良的姑娘——爱斯梅拉达。她不仅有迷人的外貌,更有一颗纯真善良的心灵,从她对待那只山羊,救下那个落魄的诗人,对于伤害过自己的卡齐莫多,送上的水和怜悯,对待爱情的牺牲,等,我们看到她是漂亮的,她的身上心灵上没有污垢,她是没有被污染的。可是,这样的天使一样的姑娘,受到的是怎么样的对待呢?流浪,在最肮脏的环境里面生活,被所谓的上流社会排斥和嘲讽,被玩弄,被抛弃,被诬陷,被威胁,最后,作了彻底的牺牲。

书中描写了一个那样的社会,和在那个社会生活中的种种人物的状态,麻木的如那个弗比斯,最底层的如老鼠洞里的那几个隐修女,疯狂的副主教,还有尽全力反抗的最丑陋的卡齐莫多,副主教和卡齐莫多形成了人性上的鲜明对比,同样爱上了漂亮的姑娘,同样的遭到了拒绝,他们的爱都是那么的热烈,那么的诚挚,可是,一个是占有,一个是奉献,已占有为目的的,当目的无法达到的时候,他想到的是毁灭,毁灭别人;以奉献为目的的,当无法奉献的时候,想到的也是毁灭,毁灭自己。

我想这也就是世界名著的真正魅力所在,他让人看到的不是一个简单的故事,他深刻的揭示了人类内心深处的一些活动,无论放在什么时候,什么社会,人的共性是始终存在的,对美好的向往,对美好的追求,对美好的赞美,人是一个天使和魔鬼的综合体,人和人的经历没有相同的,也就是说,社会本身就不可能让所有人享受到同等的待遇,这种不一样的待遇,让多少人的内心失去了平衡,失去了对美好的追求阿!林林总总的肮脏的巧取豪夺,充斥着我们的眼睛,振荡着我们心灵,我们该怎么办?

我想每一个人都会有一个属于自己的答案。

生活就像一架钢琴,有人在琴键上弹出了春的希望,夏的绿荫,秋的收获,冬的喜悦,这使我们读出了这两个主人公有纠结再一起的不幸身世。

On Sister Carrie Carrie was such an ordinary rural girl at the beginning of the story. Sitting on the seat of a bus she couldn’t help feeling exciting at the sight of the metropolis’ spectacle. She was impressed deeply by large crowd on the avenue the spacious square or tall buildings. Far more different from other heroines Carrie was not a plain pure angel like Snow-white nor was she brave enough to be a heroine of revolutionist or even a reformer nor was she so clever as to be a successful career woman who start from scratch.

What attracted her most after her entering this huge metropolis was the incredible fineries fashion shoes smart handbags displaying in the shop windows the jewellerys shining brightly behind the glass. She dreamed that one day she could wear all of these jogging gracefully into the most luxurious hotel with focused sights of admiration. And this was not merely a dream. Because she had large eyes which can earn others’ sympathy even love. She had wonderful figure which can win others’ hearts. However anything she got anywhere she reached had not come from her ambition.

Things happened and then she accepted. That’s what she had just done ? just to accept willingly from the bottom of her heart. She was not at all an evil woman who would give anything for the fortune or fame. However she would give uo something for a better life when her instinct defeated her intellect.

That was Carrie a girl had her own desire a human being just like many others in the realistic world.There’s one sentence written in chapter VIII:” When this jangle of free-will instinct shall have been adjusted when perfect understanding has given the former the power to replace the latter entirely man will no longer vary.” However how many people can go that further.

巴黎圣母院》(1831)是雨果第一部大型浪漫主义小说。它以离奇和对比手法写了一个发生在15世纪法国的故事:巴黎圣母院副主教克罗德道貌岸然、蛇蝎心肠,先爱后恨,迫害吉卜赛女郎爱斯梅拉尔达。面目丑陋、心地善良的敲钟人卡西莫多为救女郎舍身。小说揭露了宗教的虚伪,宣告禁欲主义的破产,歌颂了下层劳动人民的善良、友爱、舍己为人,反映了雨果的人道主义思想。

巴黎圣母院不仅因其建筑有名,而且也因雨果的小说而闻名于中国。巴黎圣母院(NOTRE-Dame)座落于巴黎市中心塞纳河中的西岱岛上,始建于1163年,是巴黎大主教莫里斯·德·苏利决定兴建的,整座教堂在1345年才全部建成,历时180多年。巴黎圣母院内外环境优雅,院内洋溢著柔和的气氛。巴黎圣母院之所以闻名于世,因为它是欧洲建筑史上一个划时代的标志。

故事发生在中世纪。“愚人节”那天,流浪的吉卜赛艺人在广场上表演歌舞,有个叫埃斯梅拉达的吉卜赛姑娘吸引了来往的行人,她长得美丽动人舞姿也非常优美。

这时,巴黎圣母院的副主教克罗德·弗罗洛一下子对美丽的梅拉达着了迷,他内心燃烧着情欲之火,疯狂地爱上了她。于是他命令教堂敲钟人,相貌奇丑无比的卡西莫多把埃斯梅拉达抢来。结果法国国王的弓箭队长法比救下了埃斯梅拉达,抓住了卡西莫多。他把敲钟人带到广场上鞭笞,善良的吉卜赛姑娘不计前仇,反而送水给卡西莫多喝。

敲钟人虽然外貌丑陋,内心却纯洁高尚,他非常感激埃斯梅拉达,也爱上了她。天真的埃斯梅拉达对法比一见钟情,两人约会时,弗罗洛悄悄在后面跟着,出于嫉妒,他用刀刺伤了法比,然后逃跑了。埃梅斯拉达却因谋杀罪被判死刑。卡西莫多把埃斯梅拉达从绞刑架下抢了出来,藏在巴黎圣母院内,弗罗洛趁机威胁吉卜赛姑娘,让她满足他的情欲,遭到拒绝后,把她交给了国王的军队,无辜的姑娘被绞死了。卡西莫多愤怒地把弗罗洛推下教堂摔死,他拥抱着埃斯梅拉达的尸体也死去了。

小说表现了雨果对封建政府和教会的强烈憎恨,同时也反映了他对下层人民的深切同情。

Novels written by very real, whether history, religion, arts and crafts, or peoples feelings. Although I dont know about a lot of history, the Muslim religious culture, I dont know much, but finish reading this book, just think, a lot of things seem so real in front, big to a funeral, small to a piece of jade.

Said the authors in the order of the hero and I live together. From morning till night and day and night. I joy and happiness for them, for their suffering and pain. I have to and I separated. When I send them one by one from the world, I was unbearable with life and death to leave." In the story, however, still want to leave, one after another, lined up and slowly to leave. Tragedy is inevitable.

The deepest impression is that tze-ki hon in London to send home to the letter. A letter, but also is simply a word - "we are still alive. You still alive?" Still alive... In such a turbulent years of the war, written letter is such, so greetings, my in the mind a burst of sad, a drop of tears to fall.

In the thick book, you can see two generations of beautiful love, see the love of the helpless and sad. Sometimes we are really in love with, but also because of love, would feel helpless, make something hurt others also hurt yourself.

【参考译文】

小说写的很真实,无论是历史,宗教,手工艺,还是人的感情。虽然有关很多历史我都不太清楚,穆斯林的宗教文化我也不甚了解,但是看完这书,就是觉得,很多东西好像就那么真真切切的放在面前,大到一个葬礼,小到一块玉。

作者在后序中说,“我和主人公一起生活。每天从早到晚,又夜以继日。我为他们的欢乐而欢乐,为他们的痛苦而痛苦。我已经舍不得和我的人物分开。当我把他们一个一个地送离人间的时候,我被生死离别折磨得痛彻肺腑。”然而故事中的人,还是要离开,一个又一个,排着队似的,不紧不慢地离开。悲剧故事都不可避免的如此。

印象最深的是,韩子奇身处英国伦敦时给家里寄去的那封信。说是一封信,却也只是简单的一句话——“我们还活着。你们还活着吗?”还活着吗……在那样一个战争动乱年间,信竟然是这样写的,如此的问候,我心里一阵凄凉,一滴眼泪往下落。

在这本厚重的书里,可以看到两代人的凄美爱情,看到爱情中的无奈和悲哀。有时候我们确实是爱着的,但也因为爱着,才会感到无奈,做出些伤到别人也伤到自己的事。

Santiago, an old man about sixty years old, fished alone with nothing caught in eighty four days. No one would like to talk to him for his extremely bad luck except a boy who always came to help after the day and finally left to another boat under the pressure of his parents. Ignoring the contempt from the younger fishermen and sympathy from the older, on the morning of the 85th day, the old man started his fishing with determination and rowed his old boat very far in the sea where he believed there would be big fish. Fortunately the old man met with a big fish as he had wished and finally defeated the big Marlin with two days and nights struggle after overcoming great difficulties. But more unfortunately there were many sharks coming after his boat attracted by the smell of the blood of the big Marlin. After death-and-life struggle, when he finally got rid of the sharks coming after the boat, the big Marlin was bare skeleton.

The Old Man and the Sea tells a frustrated experience of the old man who fishes alone in the sea in plain languages. Through the simple lines, a “tough guy” image is shaped and heroism is praised. The whole story starts with a peaceful beginning which is some trivial of life and talking with the boy, and suddenly turns to its climax which is the dangerous fighting with the big fish and sharks alone in the sea, and ends with the old man’s return with the bare skeleton of the big Marlin. Though the boy only appears at the beginning and the ending in the novel, he plays an indispensible role, it is his inspiring and supporting that helps the old man to be “graceful under heavy pressure”.

In the book, the old man prepared his fishing properly and preciously than any other fishermen so that “Then when luck comes you are ready” as the old man thought to himself. In reality, some of us keep complaining that they are born in wrong time or good luck never knocks their doors. In fact, good luck sometimes just comes when they are not ready. Taking Newton for example, if he had not acquired a lot, millions of apples could never make him discovery the gravity. So if we just keep studying as much as we can, good luck will finally find us and a bright future is ahead of us. The old man never gives up hope. When all of people think he is doomed, he still strongly believes that he will get a big fish. And he does. So never giving up hope is very important to us. This reminded me of the sentence in Churchill’s speech “Never give up, never, never, never…”. “But man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated” has always been inspiring me when I counter with some setbacks in my life. Setbacks are inevitable in pursuit of our goals, but we should never be frustrated and should be “graceful under heavy pressure” like the old man. It is his relentless pursuit that contributes to the victory.

导语:《简·爱》是十九世纪英国著名的女作家夏洛蒂·勃朗特的代表作,人们普遍认为《简·爱》是夏洛蒂·勃朗特“诗意的生平写照”,是一部具有自传色彩的作品。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语作文,欢迎阅读与借鉴,谢谢!

This is a story about a special and unreserved woman who has been exposed to a hostile environment but continuously and fearlessly struggling for her ideal life. The story can be interpreted as a symbol of the independent spirit.

It seems to me that many readers’ English reading experience starts with Jane Eyer. I am of no exception. As we refer to the movie “Jane Eyer”, it is not surprising to find some differences because of its being filmized and retold in a new way, but the spirit of the novel remains----to be an independent person, both physically and mentally.

Jane Eyer was a born resister, whose parents went off when she was very young, and her aunt,the only relative she had,treated her as badly as a ragtag. Since Jane’s education in Lowwood Orphanage began, she didn’t get what she had been expecting——simply being regarded as a common person, just the same as any other girl around. The suffers from being humiliated and devastated teach Jane to be persevering and prize dignity over anything else.As a reward of revolting the ruthless oppression, Jane got a chance to be a tutor in Thornfield Garden. There she made the acquaintance of lovely Adele and that garden’s owner, Rochester, a man with warm heart despite a cold face outside. Jane expected to change the life from then on, but fate had decided otherwise: After Jane and Rochester fell in love with each other and got down to get marry, she unfortunately came to know in fact Rochester had got a legal wife, who seemed to be the shadow following Rochester and led to his moodiness all the time ----Rochester was also a despairing person in need of salvation. Jane did want to give him a hand, however, she made up her mind to leave, because she didn’t want to betray her own principles, because she was Jane Eyer. The film has finally got a symbolist end: Jane inherited a large number of legacies and finally returned. After finding Rochester’s misfortune brought by his original mad wife, Jane chose to stay with him forever.

I don’t know what others feel, but frankly speaking, I would rather regard the section that Jane began her teaching job in Thornfield as the film’s end----especially when I heard Jane’s words “Never in my life have I been awaken so happily.” For one thing, this ideal and brand-new beginning of life was what Jane had been imagining for long as a suffering person; for another, this should be what the audiences with my views hoped her to get. But the professional judgment of producing films reminded me to wait for a totally different result: There must be something wrong coming with the excellence----perhaps not only should another section be added to enrich the story, but also we may see from the next transition of Jane’s life that “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you would get.” (By Forrest Gump’s mother, in the film “Forrest Gump”)

What’s more, this film didn’t end when Jane left Thornfield. For Jane Eyer herself, there should always be somewhere to realize her great ideal of being independent considering her fortitude, but for Rochester, how he can get salvation? The film gives the answer tentatively: Jane eventually got back to Rochester. In fact, when Jane met Rochester for the first time, she scared his horse and made his heel strained, to a certain extent, which meant Rochester would get retrieval because of Jane. We can consider Rochester’s experiences as that of religion meaning. The fire by his frantic wife was the punishment for the cynicism early in his life. After it, Rochester got the mercy of the God and the love of the woman whom he loved. Here we can say: human nature and divinity get united perfectly in order to let such a story accord with the requirements of both two sides. The value of this film may be due to its efforts to explore a new way for the development of humanism under the faith of religion.

Life is ceaselessly changing, but our living principles remain. Firmly persisting for the rights of being independent gives us enough confidence and courage, which is like the beacon over the capriccioso sea of life. In the world of the film, we have found the stories of ourselves, which makes us so concerned about the fate of the dramatis personae.

In this era of rapid social and technological change leading to increasing life complexity and psychological displacement, both physical and mental effects on us call for a balance. We are likely to find ourselves bogged down in the Sargasso Sea of information overload and living unconsciousness. It’s our spirit that makes the life meaningful.

Heart is the engine of body, brain is the resource of thought, and great films are the mirrors of life. Indubitably, “Jane Eyer” is one of them.

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.!
