Respect our hearts and go on following our hearts

《简爱》读后感

Recently, I read a book called Jane Eyre. 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. Her name is Jane Eyre. The story can be interpreted as a symbol of the independent spirit.

Jane Eyre 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 an animal. Then she began her education in Lowood. She stayed here for eight more years, six as a pupil and two as a teacher. She grew restless, knowing she had seen hardly anything of the world outside school and Gateshead Hall, and she wanted freedom-or as near freedom-or as near freedom as she could find.

Then Jane got a chance to be a governess and left Lowood. There she taught lovely Adele and met the owner, Rochester, who is a man with a warm heart despite a cold face outside.

After Jane and Rochester fell in love with each other and got down to getting married, she unfortunately came to know that in fact, Rocheser had got a wife, who seemed to be the shadow following Rochester and led to his madness all the time.

Misery overwhelmed all else. Jane was too stunned to cry. She didn’t want to lie to herself and be his mistress. Just because she was Jane Eyre. So she left Thornfield and Edward Rochester with simple.

After later, she arrived at a crossroads on a moor and she had no money to go further. Luckily, a young man called St John and two young women named Diana and Mary saved her. Then she decided to find work and earn her own living.

However, she found that she also loved Rochester and can’t leave him. Therefore, she said farewell to them and went back to Thornfield. When she reached she saw a ruin and knew Mrs. Rochester died in the fire and Mr. Rochester was blind.

At last, she married Rochester without doubt and had their first child.

Jane Eyre found her true love after a lot of sufferings.

From this story, I know that we should be independent in our lives. When we meet with troubles, we should have courage and confidence instead of being cared.

And we should have these kinds of precious feelings, such as friendship, love and sympathy. We should respect our hearts and go on following our hearts.
