Model of noble women

<高尚女性的典范>

I have a intense feeling after reading Jane Eyre. Our fate is not something we can’t overcome, equality needs us to try to get. If you want have a equal chance ,you must pay your hard working ,sweat and a firm conviction for it.

This book tells us a model of noble women. Jane was born in a poor family. Her father was a pastor. Unfortunately ,her father and mother passed away within a month one after another. She was taken in by her mother’s brother. However ,she suffered with discrimination and maltreating after her mother’s brother’s death. Then she was sent to an orphanage, whose rule was very strict, where the life was very difficult. What’s worse, the headmaster was a grim man. Jane went through lots of hurt from both mentality and body, which included her good friend helen’s death. Jane was tired of living in this condition and she hated the headmaster of the orphanage. On graduating from the orphanage, Jane couldn't wait to applly a job outside, and she got one after all, being a teacher for a big manor. The male owner of the manor was heavehearted, and would be easy to change his mood. He would go to travel often, leaving a ten years old girl and the servants at home. Later ,Jane save the hero from his bed which was burning, she falled in love with the hero. The fact that the hero had married with another woman who was crazy at that time was exposed during their wedding. That

evening, Jane left the hero and everything she used to love. Jane was taken in and became the headmaster of a women school. Jane got a lot of property from her uncle. She found his cousin and divided the property equally with her cousin. She refused his cousin’s request that they went to India to do missionary work together. She came back to the manor alone, but the manor was ruins at that time, and the hero was permanent disability. Jane found him and married him. They lived a happy life which they were looking forward to .

“I will make you difficult to leave me ,which seems the situation that I can’t leave you, if the god grant me wealth and beautiful. Though the fact is opposite, our spirit is equal. Your soul and mine are equal, your heart and mine are the same absolutely. I am speaking to you with my spirit ,not custom ,not convention, which seems that we are all faced the god in front of us after our death , for we are equal.”I love the words very much.

Jane is not a blind who is running after love. Her love is to seeking for the combination of two hearts, as what Jane is thinking. “ Although the social wealth separates me from his world, there exists something with which my heart could communicate with his ,in my brain and heart, in my blood and nerve.” There is a eternal soul under Jane’s ordinary appearance, which seems particularly valuable and bright.

Jane’s spirit of fighting with her fate will lead women to a bright destination through a correct way. She tells to all of the women,“ Don’t sink into reticence. ” Jane is a self-respected ,independent female. She doesn’t lose

herself and her natural character when she is in the difficult sae. She is not beautiful ,but her kindhearted, sincere, honest and noble, are all not unreal and pretended.

Jane’s appearance is the writer’s portrait, and Jane’s spirit is the writer’s ideal and dream. In 1847, the complete, pure image of women conquered the publishers at that time, conquered other writers that were in their ages, and conquered countless readers. Jane Eyre becomes a women symbol that people all love. Jane is a model of noble women from then on.
