Jane Eyre — A Beautiful Soul
Jane Eyre, is a poor but aspiring, small in body but huge in soul, obscure but self-respecting girl. After we close the covers of the book, after having a long journey of the spirit, Jane Eyre, a marvelous figure, has left us so much to recall and to think:
We remember her goodness: for someone who lost arms and blinded in eyes, for someone who despised her for her ordinariness, and even for someone who had hurt her deeply in the past.
We remember her pursuit of justice. It’s like a companion with the goodness. But still, a virtuous person should promote the goodness on one side and must check the badness on the other side.
We remember her self-respect and the clear situation on equality. In her opinion, everyone is the same at the God’s feet. Though there are differences in status、in property and also in appearance, but all the human being are equal in personality.
We also remember her striving for life, her toughness and her confidence…
When we think of this girl, what she gave us was not a pretty face or a transcendent temperament that make us admire deeply, but a huge charm of her personality.
Actually, she wasn’t pretty, and of course, the ordinary appearance didn’t make others feel good of her, even her own aunt felt disgusted with it. And some others even thought that she was easy to look down on and to tease, so when Miss Ingram met Jane Eyre, she seemed quite contemptuous, for that she was obviously much more prettier than ‘the plain and ugly governess’. But as the little governess had said: ‘Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong!’ This is the idea of equality in Jane Eyre’s mind. God hadn’t given her beauty and wealth, but instead, God gave her a kind mind and a thinking brain. Her idea of equality and self-respect impress us so much and let us feel the power inside her body.
In my mind, though a person’s beauty on the face can make others once feel that one is attractive and charming, if his or her mind isn’t the same beautiful as the appearance, such as beauty cannot last for, when others find that the beauty which had charmed them was only a falsity, it’s not true, they will like the person no more. For a long time, only a person’s great virtue, a noble soul, a beautiful heart can be called as AN EVERLASTING BEAUTY, just as Kahill Gibran has said, that ‘Beauty is a heart enflamed and a soul enchanted’. I can feel that how beauty really is, as we are all fleshly men, so we can’t distinguish whether a man is of nobleness or humbleness, but fleshly men, so we can’t distinguish whether a man is of nobleness or humbleness, but as there are great differences in our souls, and from that, we can know that whether a man is noble or ordinary, and even obscure, that is, whether he is beautiful or not.
Her story makes us thinking about life and we learn much from her experience, at least, that is a fresh new recognition of the real beauty.

簡(jiǎn)愛-一個(gè)美麗的靈魂
簡(jiǎn)愛,是一個(gè)貧窮但有抱負(fù),身體小,但在靈魂,晦澀,而自尊的女孩,巨大的.之后,我們關(guān)閉了書的封面后,有精神,簡(jiǎn)愛,一個(gè)了不起的數(shù)字,漫長(zhǎng)的旅途中,已經(jīng)離開了我們這么多的回顧和思考：
我們還記得她的長(zhǎng)處：有人誰失去了武器和眼睛失明的人誰瞧不起她,她的平凡,甚至有人把她深深誰在過去的傷害.
我們還記得她的正義追求.它像一個(gè)善良與伴侶.即便如此,一個(gè)善良的人應(yīng)該促進(jìn)一方的善良和必須檢查的另一邊badness.
我們還記得她的自我尊重和平等明確的情況.她認(rèn)為,每個(gè)人都在神的腳一樣.雖然有不同的地位,財(cái)產(chǎn)以及在外觀,但所有的人都是平等的人格.
我們還記得她對(duì)生命的奮斗,她的韌性和她的信心...
當(dāng)我們認(rèn)為這個(gè)女孩,她給我們的不是一個(gè)漂亮的臉蛋或超越的氣質(zhì),令我們深感欽佩,但對(duì)她個(gè)性的巨大魅力.
其實(shí),她不漂亮,當(dāng)然,普通的外觀并沒有讓別人覺得她的好,甚至連她的姑姑感到厭惡它.還有一些人甚至認(rèn)為她很容易被瞧不起和梳理下來,所以當(dāng)英格拉姆小姐會(huì)見了簡(jiǎn)愛,她似乎相當(dāng)不屑,因?yàn)樗?顯然比'平原和丑陋女教師'.但由于小姆曾說過：'你想,因?yàn)槲也?模糊,平原和小,我沒有靈魂和良心?你想錯(cuò)了!'這是在簡(jiǎn)愛的精神平等的觀念.上帝沒有給她的美貌和財(cái)富,而是,上帝給了她一種博大的胸懷和大腦思維.她的想法平等和自尊給人的印象那么多,讓我們感受到她的身體內(nèi)的權(quán)力.
在我看來,雖然一個(gè)人的面部美容可以使別人一旦覺得有是有吸引力的迷人,如果他或她的心是不一樣的美,如美麗的外觀,不能持續(xù),當(dāng)別人發(fā)現(xiàn)美曾征服了大家只是一個(gè)虛假的,這不是真的,他們將像人而已.長(zhǎng)期以來,只有一個(gè)人最大的優(yōu)點(diǎn),一個(gè)高尚的靈魂,一個(gè)美麗的心可以作為永恒的美容要求,正如Kahill紀(jì)伯倫所說,'美是想象激怒的心臟和靈魂迷惑'.我感覺到真的是如何美麗,因?yàn)槲覀兌际侨庥腥?所以我們不能辨別一個(gè)人的高貴或謙遜的,但肉欲男人,所以我們不能區(qū)分一個(gè)人是否高貴或謙遜的是,但是,還有在我們的靈魂的巨大差異,以及,我們可以知道一個(gè)人是否高尚或普通,甚至模糊,也就是說,他是否美麗與否.
她的故事使我們思考我們的生活和學(xué)習(xí)她的經(jīng)驗(yàn),更至少,這是一個(gè)新的真正的美新的認(rèn)識(shí).
