Rochester had one eye smashed out in order to save her, and the other eye was also inflamed and unable to see.When Jane found out, she immediately expressed her love for him, and the two continued their relationship.
Jane believes that love should be built on the basis of spiritual equality, rather than depending on social status, wealth and appearance. Only men and women really love each other, can they get real happiness.This kind of thought was advanced for the society at that time, and was not understood at the same time, reflecting the awakening of female consciousness.At the same time, it also accused the hypocrisy and cruelty of the bourgeois society and bullied the lower class people, attacked the bourgeois concept of marriage and love and the phenomenon of inequality between men and women, and favorably expressed women's ideal of love and the desire for freedom and happiness.Jane, who believed in the equality of souls, once said: I am not speaking to you by custom, by convention, or even by flesh and blood - it is my heart that is speaking to your heart, as if we had both passed away and stood together before God, equal to each other - as we are.Because of this, she dared to love a man far above her social class, and dared to take the initiative to express her feelings to him.Inequality in love should not be the preserve of any one person or class.A complete love is composed of two equal souls, so self independence and the pursuit of love integrity cannot be separated.Because of this, Jane could not bear to be with a married man, so she left Rochester in sorrow.In fact, in front of reason and law, she made a very correct choice. She could not be someone else's mistress with her self-respect, nor would she be selfish to seek happiness above them.However, emotionally and morally, her departure makes the man who loves her go into the abyss of great pain. For Rochester, his original wife is the pain that cannot be ignored in his life, and Jane is the bottle of medicine that can save his life.For Rochester's wife was a thoroughly mad woman, and he was a complete victim in a marriage full of intrigue.Born as a person, self-esteem and independence always keep the glory of life, in love, pure and sincere make the soul rich and noble.
Jane Eyre's writing genre belongs to the Gothic novel, which is characterized by some scary scenes and environments to render the terrifying and palpitating atmosphere, highlighting the sublimation or degradation of human nature behind the yelling and despair of the characters.These grotesque Gothic elements are everywhere in the book. For example, the red house where Jane was often locked up by her aunt when she was a child, the Gothic architecture and interior decoration of Thornfield Manor and so on.It can be said that there is a chilling yet irresistible Gothic style permeating the lines.Charlotte Bronte uses such scary and weird elements to bring the readers deeply into a hellish and suffocating environment. However, because of this, it can better highlight the oppression of The Times on human nature and also reflect the hero Jane Eyre's gradual detachment in such an environment, breaking through layers of darkness, allowing herself to be reborn and allowing them to be reborn.Jane Eyre is like a bright female chivalrous warrior, breaking through the obstacles and finally reaching the happy land in the heart.The novel takes Jane Eyre's life orientation as the clue, reflecting Jane Eyre's two major life pursuits: the spirit of independence, resistance and perseverance, and the exploration of a higher spiritual realm. Guided by these two directions, she is bound to achieve the transcendence from material poverty to spiritual wealth. With the characteristics of medieval novels, the protagonist is bound to redeem himself and others at the same time. Then, the existence of these Gothic elements provides the possibility for his heroic salvation. These elements constantly promote the development of the story plot, so that the whole work shows a unique charm.
After reading Jane Eyre, I learned the writing technique of Charlotte Bronte, understand Jane Eyre's view of love, yearning for Jane Eyre's living attitude, yearning for this pure is not a great love, but also hope that I can have such love.
