"Jane Eyre" is charlotte Brontë's main masterpiece, this book takes the growth of the protagonist Jane Eyre, the process of cultivation to love as the main line, showing us the beauty of a girl's ordinary appearance hidden in the soul and temperament, and also tells us through the story of Jane Eyre:
The kite line of life is always in our own hands, and how far we want to fly the kite depends on how far we can see and how much risk we are willing to take. Kites are free to soar in the sky as long as we want.
In many literary works, "sex" is an inevitable topic, because in the combination of men and women, "sex" not only represents a symbol of the pulling of the relationship, but also the most important link that the relationship can maintain.
However, Charlotte Brontë does not write directly "sex" throughout, but through the occurrence and end of several relationships, to suggest to the reader that the pivot of love is the "combination of spirit and flesh", through Jane Eyre and Rochester's choice of life partner, we can also understand the essence of love more deeply.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > Rochester and the original match: The old age of the young couple is burdensome, and the loveless and sexless union is a desecration of marriage</h1>
The hero of the book, Rochester, is a strange man, he is good-natured and never treats anyone harshly, but his slaves respect him, his friends are only class friends with him, no one really knows Rochester, and no one knows his inner desires and secrets.
His friendship with the ladies of the upper class is only a superficial carnival, Rochester has no real love in his heart, he can see through the other party's calculations and thoughts, but he can still pretend to be fine and continue to "perform" in class.
This insightful and disguised Rochester is frightening, but he was also a spirited, unscheming teenager.
Rochester's father, whose family was rich and had two sons, did not intend to let Rochester inherit the property in order not to let the property be divided, but chose a rich family with the right to inherit the property to combine with him.
After graduating from Rochester University, the family arranged for him to meet with the woman, but from the beginning to the end he did not have the opportunity to be alone with the woman, and Rochester married her under the "plot" of no more than three meetings.
Her name is Bertha Mason, she is a perfect woman only by looking at her appearance, rochester also intends to do her husband's duty to her, to communicate with her, but no matter what Rochester says to her, it will be disturbed by her vulgar language, even the joy of the bed can not be with her, she is a person who cannot perceive her "desire" and "love", she is a hereditary madness.
Rochester nearly ruined himself in the marriage and he didn't get the treatment he deserved as a husband. Instead, he paid a great price for the burden he imposed, and he could no longer have a legal partner to spend his life with, nor could he make up for repairing the marriage he already had.
This deception, conspired by his father and the Mason family, undoubtedly ruined Rochester's life and desecrated the sanctity of marriage. Marriages like Rochester's, with the fate of parents and the words of matchmakers, are also everywhere in China, and most of the marriages have ended miserably.
The union of parental destiny is a mistake in itself, and if harmony cannot be achieved in marriage, then marriage becomes a rope to kidnap two people, and if two people who are tied up will be hurt if they want to struggle, and if they do not struggle, there will never be freedom.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > 2, Rochester and mistress: will the feelings of beautiful appearance, indulgence, sexuality and lovelessness be cherished? </h1>
The world will always regard the appearance of Lang Cai as a representative of a beautiful combination, as if the appearance of Lang Cai and The woman is the best arrangement of heaven for marriage, so what will be the result of the combination of Lang Cai and female appearance?
Rochester had almost ruined himself several times to escape from that hopeless marriage, he allowed himself to degenerate, he indulged in indulgence, but then he met an opera dancer Celia Warren, who was fascinated by his beauty, and he gave a lot for her:
I rented a house for her, equipped her with servants and carriages, and gave her all kinds of jewelry. Like any fool who fell in love, I squandered a lot of money to win her favor.
However, his feelings for Celia Varun are not love, but a superficial fascination with appearance, and soon he discovers that Varen is an empty vase, with no interesting soul on the surface, and no chastity to his feelings. Soon Rochester discovered her tedious inner being and her betrayal of herself.
Rochester gave up this unfaithful mistress, and from Valen, Rochester also formed his own concept of love, no longer taking good looks as a measure of choosing a lover, which also laid the groundwork for his love with Jane.
"Good-looking skin bags are the same, interesting souls are one of the best", Rochester no longer indulges in the temptation of beauty after reading countless women, and the formation of this concept of love makes him resolutely choose Jane Eyre with a full soul when facing the beautiful Miss Ingram and the ordinary-looking Jane Eyre.
Sexual and loveless feelings are actually very difficult to maintain, and people are the most spiritual animals, with needs beyond basic needs, and higher spiritual pursuits in addition to "color-eating".
Good looks and attractive figures can certainly be pleasing to the eye, but over time it will become boring, which is why many marriages can only last for a short time.
Therefore, when choosing a lover, you can't just stare at the appearance, the beauty hidden in the depths of the soul is something worth pursuing for a lifetime.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > 3. Jane Eyre and St. John:What is the value of marriage that abandons personal love and sex and shares a common soul and faith? </h1>
In addition to Jane Eyre's "yearless love" with Rochester, there is also a "transcendent" "deformed love".
Unable to marry Rochester and face the people she loved, Jane chose to leave penniless, with nothing to wear, and when she almost starved to death, the second person in her life saved her.
St. John was a priest who was handsome in appearance and noble in soul, a follower of the Lord, a devout Christian.
Jane Eyre and St. John share the same faith and religion, and their souls are at the same height, and Jane Eyre was chosen by St. John to be the wife of a priest, hoping that Jane Eyre would be the follower of the Lord with him.
However, St. John has no love for Jane Eyre, at best it is affection, St. John's mother is Jane Eyre's aunt, fate makes them closer, but it does not make her truly love Jane Eyre.
St. John is God's "beloved disciple", his love is big love, small love is sacrificable to him, Jane Eyre is soberly aware of the pressure and depression she has to bear after being married to him.
Even if St. John had a noble soul and a handsome appearance was not enough to attract Jane Eyre, even if they both shared the same pursuit and belief, Jane Eyre could not choose this life of abandoning the self and dedicating herself wholeheartedly to the great goal.
Jane Eyre always stood firm in her refusal to be the wife of a priest rather than the wife of a handsome and dashing man who loved her and hurt her.
Jane Eyre's attitude of choosing marriage is worth learning, no matter how beautiful the person in front of him is, if he does not love himself, then never sacrifice himself in exchange for it, always maintain his independence.
On the other hand, many people now will be attracted by the temptation in front of them and forget the most important things, blindly choose a certain identity and then lose the opportunity to chase their own lives, hide their desires, and be a person who is not looking at themselves.
May we be like Jane Eyre, dare to face our own desires, dare to refuse the temptations in front of us.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > Four Jane Loves and Rochester: Beyond the conclusion of appearance, the rich soul is more precious than the false appearance</h1>
The love between Rochester and Jane is a representative of transcendence of age and class, and Charlotte Brontë reveals the essence of love hidden under various appearances through the emphasis on this "yearless love".
Jane Eyre has experienced eight years of growth in the Roward Orphanage, and through the hardships of the environment and the baptism of noble personality, she has become an independent woman with a rich soul and a tenacious character, she dares to say no to the injustices she suffers, and she dares to change her situation.
Jane Eyre came to Thornfield to teach Adele, Rochester and Warren's illegitimate daughter, and the first time they met Rochester, the two left a special impression on each other, and also left a thought in each other's hearts to understand each other.
Rochester can't wait to call Jane Eyre to a conversation, and the strange way the two talk makes the housekeeper Mrs. Fairfax puzzled, and it is this incomprehension that reflects the depths of the two souls.
The appearance of the two is not good in each other's hearts, but unconsciously this "ugliness" becomes a unique beauty.
Rochester's rough facial features seem to Jane Eyre to be a symbol of male strength, and the energy that erupts from Jane Eyre's "short" figure makes Rochester have an endless desire to explore.
The soul-heart relationship makes them want to spend the rest of their lives together, and Rochester can't wait to embrace Jane Eyre and make her a part of his body and soul.
However, they failed to do so, and on the wedding day Rochester was prevented from marrying Jane Eyre on the grounds of "bigamy".
When she saw the crazy woman who had tormented Rochester for half her life, Jane Eyre was full of sympathy and heartache for Rochester, but she chose to leave.
"I love you dearly, but I can't be your mistress", Jane Eyre stuck to her moral bottom line and life code, and chose what she thought was the most correct way to leave Rochester.
A year later, Jane Eyre had inherited the property left to her by her uncle and had a handsome suitor, but she could not let go of the "not beautiful" but very beautiful Rochester, her heart was calling her, Rochester was calling her, she returned to Rochester, who was injured by the fire, and became his eye, her crutch.
Their marriage was blissful, his disability was the pivot that pulled them closer together, and Jane Eyre did not dislike Rochester because of his disability, but rather, it was because of his need that she became so valuable.
Love is not sympathy and accommodation, but the same need for equal giving, the fit of the soul and the body, the companionship of poetry and distant places with chai rice oil and salt.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > summary:</h1>
There are countless ways of love, but not every one of them makes people happy, and many choices will make people regret, as Mr. Qian Zhongshu wrote in "The Siege":
Marriage is a besieged city, and people outside the city want to go in, and people in the city want to come out.
However, Qian Zhongshu and Yang Dai spent their lives happily in their "siege", just as Jane Ai and Rochester spent their lives happily in their "manor", their happiness is because they have the most correct concept of love, that is:
Marriage is a lifelong contest between two people, a "symphony" between the soul and the body, and only when the spirit and the heart are satisfied can flowers blossom in this "siege".
