Why has it always been me who has suffered? Why is it always me who is despised, blamed, and cursed? Why can't I always please people? Why can't I win praise for whatever I do? - "Jane Eyre"
In 1847, the British female writer Charlotte created the novel "Jane Eyre", which attracted widespread attention as soon as it came out. Some people say that this is a women's bible, transmitted to women's pursuit of equality of personality and freedom of marriage and love. Because it tells the story of how Jane Eyre, an orphan girl, has gone through hardships, broken through the shackles of reality and social class, and obtained a free and happy life.
But in my opinion, the meaning of "Jane Eyre" is not only that, it also has an unparalleled vitality, which is the continuation of the author Charlotte's life and reflection on human nature.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > Jane Eyre's character image, hidden author Charlotte's yearning for a happy life</h1>
Jane Eyre is the heroine of Charlotte's novel Jane Eyre, who lost her parents at an early age, sent people to the fence, was abused by her aunt's family, and finally because of a hysterical resistance, she strengthened her aunt's determination to send her away.
But, because of this, Jane Eyre had the opportunity to start over and finally reap the happiness she wanted. But charlotte, the author of "Jane Eyre", is not as lucky as Jane Eyre.
Charlotte was born in 1816 to a family of village priests in Yorkshire, north England. After the early death of her mother and the inability of her father to juggle work and family, eight-year-old Charlotte and her sisters were sent to a charity school for the daughters of the county's clergy.
However, this journey of study left a deep pain in Charlotte's heart. The school's accommodation and food conditions are poor, students are tested by hunger and cold, and in the winter, there are not a few students who suffer from colds and pneumonia. Charlotte's two sisters died of harsh conditions at school.
Through these human ailments and partings of life and death, Charlotte has a deeper awareness of life, which is why the scenes of Lowwood's life in the book "Jane Eyre" are so realistic, because the book itself has an autobiographical color.
Jane Eyre's life and Charlotte have a certain overlap, for example, Jane Eyre and Charlotte have been sent to a charity school with difficult conditions; they are not tall and thin; they have both been teachers and tutors; they have fallen in love with a married man; both are eager to pursue the wider world and live themselves.
But the biggest difference between Jane Eyre and Charlotte is that Jane Eyre eventually ended up working hard and becoming a rich and independent woman, hand in hand with the person she loved for a lifetime. Charlotte, on the other hand, is not so lucky, her whole life has been running for her livelihood, and the person she fell in love with is also married, so her love is just fruitless unrequited love, which makes her taste bitter love.
Perhaps, Charlotte is to make up for her own inner shortcomings, so she gave Jane Ai a happy ending in the novel, and gave her unfinished love and desire for the freedom of life to Jane Eyre, a character in the novel.
After all, human life is very short, and living for ourselves and fighting against fate on the existing basis is the eternal and unchangeable life topic of our human beings.

There is no unprovoked love in this world, and there is no unprovoked hatred. The reason why Jane Eyre's aunt, Mrs. Red, hates Jane Eyre is actually a transfer of dissatisfaction with her deceased husband.
Mrs. Red has always disliked Jane's loving mother because she is the one her husband loves very much. Later, Jane Eyre's parents died, and her husband ignored her feelings and took Jane Eyre into the house and treated her as her own biological child, even more dear than her own.
All this, Mrs. Red saw in her eyes, hated in her heart, and Jane Love's temper from childhood did not meet her wishes, so for Jane Love, Mrs. Red really could not love. Coupled with the early death of her husband, an hour before his death, and forcing her to swear to let her take good care of Jane Eyre, Mrs. Red's resentment grew.
From a psychological point of view, the unmet needs of the human body cannot be truly suppressed, and finally this force will erupt, either internally or externally, and it is clear that Mrs. Red chose the latter, making Jane Eyre an enemy and venting all her dissatisfaction with her husband on Jane Eyre.
In this sense, Mrs. Red is both a poor person and a person who does not know how to love herself, and eventually lives as a resentful woman, and when she is dying, she does not really reconcile with herself, so she cannot obtain the salvation of her soul.
But Jane Eyre is different. Although she also hated her aunt Mrs. Red, because after her uncle's death, she was not only not cared for and cared for at a young age, but also suffered abuse from her aunt's family.
However, after she left her aunt's family with pain and hatred to become a student in lowwood, where conditions were difficult, she met a mentor and a good friend, which gradually reconciled her with herself.
She had poured bitter water on her friend Helen and told her a series of cruel things that Mrs. Red had done to her, and Helen's words refreshed her cognition.
Helen said: "She's not good for you, there's no doubt about that... But you don't have to remember everything she's done to you, everything she's said to you... Doesn't trying to forget her meanness, and the indignation it causes, make you happier? I feel that life is short, and time is wasted to nourish your own hatred and remember the faults of others. ”
Although Jane Eyre at that time did not necessarily understand the deep meaning of this, Helen's attitude towards life more or less affected Jane Eyre's outlook on life, giving her a new perspective on the situation of suffering.
In addition, Miss Temple in Lowwood also deeply influenced Jane Eyre's thoughts and personality. Miss Temple was knowledgeable and elegant, and gave Jane Love a lot of care and companionship, so that her lonely heart and soul felt the warmth of being loved and cared for.
Moreover, Jane loves kindness by nature, but her personality is more impulsive, and as her knowledge increases day by day, her heart becomes broader, she learns to think more comprehensively about problems, and how to control her emotions, and naturally she lets go of her past hatred and focuses on living for herself.
Because people's lives are very short, they know how to let go of themselves and reconcile with all the misfortunes in life, so that we can better grasp our own lives, live not humble, brilliant and stubborn, and have a beam of our own light.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > fork in life, learn to constantly examine yourself, in order to find the real answer in your heart</h1>
Jane Eyre lived in Lowwood for eight years, the first six years as a student and the last two years as a teacher, living a calm, unchanging life. But life never stands still, and at some point Miss Temple gets married and leaves Lowwood.
Since separating from Miss Temple, Jane Eyre has grown tired of Lowwood's life, and her yearning for freedom has become increasingly strong in her nature. So she began to examine herself, thinking hard about ways to change the status quo.
And life is like this, as long as a person's desire to change the status quo is strong enough, everything will turn around. Eventually, Jane Eyre found a job as a governess through the newspaper and left Lowwood. Embarked on an unknown journey - Thornfield.
After spending some time in Thornfield, Jane Eyre once again felt that life was uneventful, nothing new, that time seemed to stand still, and that the rest of the time was lonely except for lecturing to students.
Such a life, seemingly free, actually imprisoned her emotions and thoughts. It wasn't until the appearance of Mr. Rochester, the man of Thornfield, that Jane Eyre's life burned like a fire.
Under the continuous relationship, they have feelings for each other and fall in love with each other. It is shocking that Mr. Rochester did not give up this relationship because Jane Eyre and herself did not belong to the same class, and Jane Eyre did not lose her independence in this relationship, she still seriously engaged in the job of a tutor, refusing to accept all the valuables given by Mr. Rochester. I think it was her arrogant and unpretentious character that attracted Mr. Rochester.
However, they did not successfully enter the palace of marriage. On the day of the wedding, Mr. Rochester's wife was publicly exposed, and the two fell into endless pain. Although the truth of the matter is excusable, they still broke up.
Jane Ai chose to leave quietly, and because of this, she was exiled to the wilderness, accidentally rescued by her relatives, and inherited a legacy. However, her life did not really calm down.
Soon after, she was faced with a difficult choice. Her missionary cousin St. John proposed to her, hoping that she would go to India as his wife. Jane Love couldn't take his advice because they didn't love each other. She loved life, longed for love and freedom, while St. John suppressed the instinctive needs of men, and was passionate about preaching and saving others.
However, in the face of Jane Eyre's rejection, St. John never gave up, and always instilled in Jane Eyre the sanctity and greatness of his ideal cause, so that Jane Eyre almost gave up the struggle and fell into the spiritual cage that St. John himself woven for her.
But man will always awaken that in this extreme contradiction and painful struggle of the self, it is the best time for a person to see himself clearly. Eventually, Jane Eyre came to her senses, followed her inner guidance, and returned to Thornfield to find Mr. Rochester, ushering in a happy ending.
Some people will think it's a Cinderella romance novel, but I don't think so. Jane Eyre, portrayed by author Charlotte, is a self-respecting and self-loving, kind and sincere woman, she does not need the mercy and charity of anyone, she wants equal and free love. And this kind of love can only be truly obtained by a person whose mind is independent enough.
