第二章 人物形象的翻译Jane Eyre
译文一：傅东华译
1. 那郝思嘉小姐长得并不美，可是极富魅力，男人见了她，往往要着迷， 就像汤家那一对双胞胎兄弟似的。 2. 原来这位小姐脸上显然混杂着两种特质：一种是母亲给她的娇柔，一 种是父亲给他的豪爽。因为她母亲是个法兰西血统的海滨贵族，父亲 是个皮色深浓的爱尔兰人，所以遗传给她的质地难免不调和。 3. 可是质地虽然不调和，她那一张脸蛋儿实在迷人得很，下巴颏儿尖尖 的，牙床骨儿方方的。 4. 她的眼珠子是一味的淡绿色，不杂一丝儿的茶褐，周围竖着一圈儿粗 黑的睫毛，眼角微微有点翘， 5. 上面斜竖着两撇墨黑的蛾眉，在她那木兰花一般白的皮肤上，划出两的， 谁要长着这样的皮肤，就要拿帽子、面罩、手套之类当心保护着，舍 不得让那大热的阳光晒黑。 6. 一八六一年四月一个晴明的下午，思嘉小姐在陶乐垦植场的住宅，陪 着汤家那一对双胞胎兄弟——一个叫汤司徒，一个叫汤伯伦的——坐 在一个阴凉的走廊里。这时春意正浓，景物如绣，她也显得特别的标 志。
第二章 人物形象的翻译 （英译汉） 二．Jane Eyre All John Reed‟s violent tyrannies, all his sisters‟ proud indifference, all his mother‟s aversion, all the servant‟s partiality, turned up in my disturbed mind like a dark deposit in a turbid well. Why was I always suffering, always browbeaten, always accused, forever condemned? Why could I never please? Why was it useless to try to win any one‟s favour? Eliza, who was headstrong and selfish, was respected. Georgiana, who had a spoiled temper, a very acrid spite, a capitous and insolent carriage, was universally indulged. Her beauty, her pink cheeks, and golden curls, seemed to give delight to all who looked at her, and to purchase indemnity for very fault. John no one thwarted, much less punished, though he twisted the necks of the pigeons, killed the little pea-chicks, set the dogs at the sheep, stripped the hothouse vines of their fruit, and broke the buds off the choicest plants in the conservatory; he called his mother “old girl,” too; sometimes reviled her for her dark skin, similar to his own; bluntly disregarded her wishes; not infrequently tore and spoiled her silk attire; and he was still “her own darling.” I dared commit no fault; I strove to fulfil every duty; and I was termed naughty and tiresome, sullen and sneaking, from morning to noon, and from noon to night.
7.
Her new green flowered-muslin dress spread its twelve yards of billowing material over her hoops and exactly matched the flatheeled green morocco slippers her father had recently brought her from Atlanta. 8. The dress set off to perfection the seventeen-inch waist, the smallest in three counties, and tightly fitting basque showed breasts well matured for her sixteen years. 9. But for all the modesty of her spreading skirts, the demureness of hair netted smoothly into a chignon and the quietness of small white hands folded in her lap, her true self was poorly concealed. 10. The green eyes in the carefully sweet face were turbulent, wilful, lusty with life, distinctly at variance with her decorous demeanour. 11. Her manners had been imposed upon her by her mother‟s gentle admonitions and the sterner discipline of her mammy; her eyes were her own. from Margaret Mitchell‟s Gone with the Wind, chapter 1
因为挨了打，又跌倒在地，我的头仍然非常疼痛，伤 口还在流血。约翰粗暴地打了我，没有人责备他，而我为 了让他以后不再干出这种没有理性的暴行，却受到了众人 的责难。 “不公平！——不公平啊！”我的理智告诉我说。在 痛苦的刺激下，我的心智早熟了，一时变得坚强有力。同 时，被激起的决心，也在怂恿我采取某种不同寻常的方法， 来逃脱这难以忍受的迫害——譬如像逃跑，或者，万一逃 跑不成，从此就不吃不喝，一死了之。 在那个凄惨的下午，我的心灵是多么惶恐不安！我的 脑子里是多么混乱，我的心中是多么愤愤不平啊！然而这 场心灵上的搏斗，又是多么盲目无知啊！我无法回答内心 不断提出的这个问题：为什么我会活得这么苦。如今，隔 了——我不愿说隔了多少年——我才看清这是怎么一回事。
from Charlott Bronte‟s Jane Eyre chapter 2, pp.8-9
约翰· 里德的凶暴专横，他姐妹的傲慢冷漠，他母亲的 憎厌、仆人们的偏心，所有这一切，就像污井里的淤泥沉 渣，在我乱糟糟的脑海里翻腾了起来。我为什么老受折磨， 老受欺侮，老是挨骂，老是有错呢？为什么我总是不讨人 喜欢？为什么我竭力想赢得别人好感却总是白费力气呢？ 伊莉莎既任性又自私，却受人尊敬。乔治安娜脾气已惯坏， 刻薄恶毒，老爱寻事生非，蛮横无理，可大家都纵容她。 她的美貌，她红红的双颊和金黄的鬈发，似乎能让每个见 了她的人都喜欢，都能因此原谅她的任何一个缺点。至于 约翰，谁也不会去违拗他，更不会去惩罚他，尽管他扭断 鸽子的脖子，弄死小孔雀，放狗去咬羊，摘掉温室中葡萄 藤上的葡萄，掰下花房里珍贵花木的幼芽；他还管他母亲 叫“老姑娘”，有时还因她跟他有一样的黑皮肤而辱骂她， 对她的话全然不听，不止一次撕破和弄坏她的绸衣服，可 他仍然是她的“心肝宝贝”。而我，虽说小小心心不敢犯 一点错，竭力把该做的事做好，可是从早到晚，依然成天 被说成淘气，讨厌，阴险，鬼头鬼脑。

三、Scarlett O’hara 1. Scarlett O‟hara was not beautiful, but men seldom realized it when caught by her charm as the Tarleton twins were. 2. In her face were too sharply blended the delicate features of her mother, a Coast aristocrat of French descent, and the heavy ones of her florid Irish father. 3. But it was an arresting face, pointed of chin, square of jaw. 4. Her eyes were pale green without a touch of hazel, starred with bristly black lashes and slightly tilted at the ends. 5. Above them, her thick black brows slanted upward, cutting a startling oblique line in her magnolia-white skin—that skin so prized by Southern women and so carefully guarded with bonnets, veils and mittens against hot Georgia suns. 6. Seated with Stuart and Brent Tarleton in the cool shade of the porch of Tara, her father‟s plantation, that bright April afternoon of 1861, she made a pretty picture.

夏洛蒂˙勃朗特《简爱》第2章英文版
《简爱》英文版Jane EyreChapter TwoI resisted all the way: a new thing for me, and a circumstance which greatly strengthened the bad opinion Bessie and Miss Abbot were disposed to entertain of me. The fact is, I was a trifl e besid e myself; or rather out of myself, as the French woul d say: I was conscious that a moment's mutiny had already rend ered me liabl e to strange penalties, and like any other rebel slave, I felt resolved, in my d esperation, to go all l engths.‘Hold her arms, Miss Abbot; she's like a mad c at.’‘For shame!for shame!’ cried the lady's maid. ‘What shocking conduct, Miss Eyre, to strike a young gentleman, your benefactress's son! Your young master.’‘Master! How is he my master? Am I a servant?’‘No; you are l ess than a servant, for you d o nothing for your keep. There, sit d own, and think over your wickedness.’They had got me by this time into the apartment indicated by Mrs. Reed, and had thrust me upon a stool: my impulse was to rise from it like a spring; their two pairs of hands arrested me instantly.‘If you d on't sit still,you must be tied d own,’ said Bessie. ‘Miss Abbot, l end me your garters; she would break mine directly.’Miss Abbot turned to divest a stout l eg of the necessary ligature. This preparation for bonds, and the additional ignominy it inferred, took a little of the excitement out of me.‘Don't take them off,’ I cried; ‘I will not stir.’In guarantee whereof, I attached myself to my seat by my hands.‘Mind you d on't,’ said Bessie; and when she had ascertained that I was really subsiding, she l oosened her hol d of me; then she and Miss Abbot stood with fold ed arms, l ooking darkly and d oubtfully on my face, as incredul ous of my sanity.‘She never did so before,’ at last said Bessie, turning to the Abigail.‘But it was always in her,’was the reply. ‘I've tol d Missis often my opinion about the child, and Missis agreed with me. She's an und erhand little thing: I never saw a girl of her age with so much cover.’Bessie answered not; but ere long, ad dressing me, she said, -‘You ought t o be aware, Miss, that you are und er obligations to Mrs. Reed: shekeeps you; if she were to turn you off, you would have to go to the poorhouse.’I had nothing to say to these words: they were not new to me: my very first recoll ections of existence included hints of the same kind. This reproach of my d epend ence had become a vague singsong in my ear; very painful and crushing, but only half intelligibl e. Miss Abbot joined in:‘A nd you ought not to think yourself on an equality with the Misses Reed and Master Reed, because Missis kindly allows you to be brought up with them. They will have a great d eal of money, and you will have none: it is your place to be humbl e, and to try to make yourself agreeabl e to them.’‘What we tell you is for your good,’add ed Bessie, in no harsh voice: ‘you shoul d try to be useful and pl easant, then, perhaps, you would have a home here; but if you become passionate and rud e, Missis will send you away, I am sure.’‘Besid es,’ said Miss Abbot, ‘God will punish her: He might strike her d ead in the midst of her tantrums, and then where woul d she go? Come, Bessie, we will l eave her: I woul dn't have her heart for anything. Say your prayers, Miss Eyre, when you are by yourself; for if you d on't repent, something bad might be permitted to come d own the chimney, and fetch you away.’They went, shutting the d oor, and l ocking it behind them.The red-room was a spare chamber, very seld om sl ept in, I might say never, ind eed; unl ess when a chance influx of visitors at Gateshead Hall rend ered it necessary to turn to account all the accommodation it contained: yet it was one of the largest and stateliest chambers in the mansion. A bed supported on massive pillars of mahogany, hung with curtains of d eep red damask, stood out like a tabernacle in the centre; the two large wind ows, with their blinds always drawn d own, were half shrouded in festoons and falls of similar drapery; the carpet was red; the tabl e at the foot of the bed was covered with a crimson cl oth; the walls were a soft fawn col our, with a blush of pink in it; the wardrobe, the toilet tabl e, the chairs were of darkly polished ol d mahogany. Out of these d eep surrounding shad es rose high, and glared white, the piled-up mattresses and pill ows of the bed, spread with a snowy Marseilles counterpane. Scarcely l ess prominent was an ampl e cushioned easy chair near the head of the bed, also white, with a footstool before it; and l ooking, as I thought, like a pale throne.This room was chill, because it seld om had a fire; it was silent, because remote from the nursery and kitchens; sol emn, because it was known to be soseldom entered. The housemaid alone came here on Saturdays, to wipe from the mirrors and the furniture a week's quiet dust: and Mrs. Reed herself, at far intervals, visited it to review the contents of a certain secret drawer in the wardrobe, where were stored divers parchments, her jewel-casket, and a miniature of her d eceased husband; and in those last words lies the secret of the red-room: the spell which kept it so lonely in spite of its grand eur.Mr. Reed had been d ead nine years: it was in this chamber he breathed his last; here he lay in state; hence his coffin was borne by the und ertaker's men; and, since that day, a sense of dreary consecration had guard ed it from frequent intrusion.My seat, to which Bessie and the bitter Miss Abbot had l eft me riveted, was a l ow ottoman near the marbl e chimney piece; the bed rose before me; to my right hand there was the high, dark wardrobe, with subdued, broken refl ections varying the gl oss of its panels; to my l eft were the muffl ed wind ows; a great looking glass between them repeated the vacant majesty of the bed and room. I was not quite sure whether they had locked the d oor; and, when I dared move, I got up and went to see. Alas! yes: no jail was ever more secure. Returning, I had to cross before the l ooking glass; my fascinated glance involuntarily expl ored the d epth it reveal ed. All l ooked cold er and darker in that visionary holl ow than in reality: and the strange little figure there gazing at me, with a white face and arms specking the gl oom, and glittering eyes of fear moving where all else was still, had the effect of a real spirit: I thought it like one of the tiny phantoms, half fairy, half imp, Bessie's evening stories represented as coming out of l one, ferny d ells in moors, and appearing before the eyes of belated travell ers. I returned to my stool.Superstition was with me at that moment; but it was not yet her hour for compl ete victory: my blood was still warm; the mood of the revolted slave was still bracing me with its bitter vigour; I had to stem a rapid rush of retrospective thought before I quailed to the dismal present.All John Reed's violent tyrannies, all his sisters' proud indifference, all his mother's aversion, all the serva nts′ partiality, turned up in my disturbed mind like a dark d eposit in a turbid well. Why was I always suffering, always browbeaten, always accused, for ever cond emned? Why coul d I never pl ease? Why was it usel ess to try to win any one's favour? Eliza, who, was headstrong and selfish, was respected. Georgiana, who had a spoiled temper, a very acrid spite, a captious andinsol ent carriage, was universally indulged. Her beauty, her pink cheeks and gold en curls, seemed to give d elight to all who l ooked at her, and to purchase ind emnity for every fault. John, no one thwarted, much l ess punished; though he twisted the necks of the pigeons, killed the little pea-chicks, set the d ogs at the sheep, stripped the hothouse vines of their fruit, and broke the buds off the choicest plants in the conservatory: he call ed his mother 'old girl', too; sometimes reviled her for her dark skin, similar to his own; bluntly disregard ed her wishes; not unfrequently tore and spoil ed her silk attire; and he was still 'her own darling'.I dared commit no fault: I strove to fulfil every duty; and I was termed naughty and tiresome, sull en and sneaking, from morning to noon, and from noon to night.My head still ached and bl ed with the bl ow and fall I had received: no one had reproved John for wantonly striking me; and because I had turned against him to avert farther irrational viol ence, I was load ed with general opprobrium.‘Unjust!- unjust!’said my reason, forced by the agonizing stimulus into precocious though transitory power; and Resolve, equally wrought up, instigated some strange expedient to achieve escape from insupportabl e oppression - as running away, or, if that could not be effected, never eating or drinking more, and l etting myself die.What a consternation of soul was mine that dreary afternoon! How all my brain was in tumult, and all my heart in insurrection! Yet in what darkness, what d ense ignorance, was the mental battle fought! I coul d not answer the ceasel ess inward question - why I thus suffered; now, at the distance of - I will not say how many years, I see it cl early.I was a discord in Gateshead Hall; I was like nobody there; I had nothing in harmony with Mrs. Reed or her children, or her chosen vassalage. If they did not l ove me, in fact, as little did I l ove them. They were not bound to regard with affection a thing that coul d not sympathize with one amongst them; a heterogeneous thing, opposed to them in temperament, in capacity, in propensities; a usel ess thing, incapabl e of serving their interest, or ad ding to their pl easure; a noxious thing, cherishing the germs of indignation at their treatment, of contempt of their judgment. I know that had I been a sanguine, brilliant, careless, exacting, handsome, romping child - though equally d epend ent and friendl ess - Mrs. Reed woul d have endured my presence more complacently; her children would have entertained for me more of the cordiality of fellow-feeling; theservants woul d have been less prone to make me the scapegoat of the nursery.Daylight began to forsake the red-room; it was past four o'clock, and the becloud ed afternoon was tending to drear twilight. I heard the rain still beating continuously on the staircase wind ow, and the wind howling in the grove behind the hall; I grew by d egrees col d as a stone, and then my courage sank. My habitual mood of humiliation, self-d oubt, forl orn d epression, fell damp on the embers of my d ecaying ire. All said I was wicked, and perhaps I might be so: what thought had I been but just conceiving of starving myself to d eath? That certainly was a crime: and was I fit to die? Or was the vault und er the chancel of Gateshead Church an inviting bourne? In such vault I had been tol d did Mr. Reed lie buried; and l ed by this thought to recall his id ea, I dwelt on it with gathering dread. I coul d not remember him; but I knew that he was my own uncl e - my mother's brother - that he had taken me when a parentless infant to his house; and that in his last moments he had required a promise of Mrs. Reed that she woul d rear and maintain me as one of her own children. Mrs. Reed probably consid ered she had kept this promise; and so she had, I dare say, as well as her nature woul d permit her; but how coul d she really like an interl oper not of her race, and unconnected with her, after her husband's d eath, by any tie? It must have been most irksome to find herself bound by a hard-wrung pl edge to stand in the stead of a parent to a strange child she could not l ove, and to see an uncongenial alien permanently intrud ed on her own family group.A singular notion dawned upon me. I d oubted not - never doubted - that if Mr. Reed had been alive he woul d have treated me kindly; and now, as I sat l ooking at the white bed and overshad owed walls - occasionally also turning a fascinated eye towards the dimly gl eaming mirror - I began to recall what I had heard of d ead men, troubl ed in their graves by the violation of their last wishes, revisiting the earth to punish the perjured and avenge the oppressed; and I thought Mr. Reed's spirit, harassed by the wrongs of his sister's chil d, might quit its abod e - whether in the church vault or in the unknown worl d of the d eparted - and rise before me in this chamber. I wiped my tears and hushed my sobs; fearful l est any sign of violent grief might waken a preternatural voice to comfort me, or elicit from the gl oom some hal oed face, bending over me with strange pity. This id ea, consolatory in theory, I felt would be terribl e if realised: with all my might I end eavoured to stifl e it - I end eavoured to be firm. Shaking my hair from my eyes, I lifted my headand tried to l ook boldly round the dark room: at this moment a light gleamed on the wall. Was it, I asked myself, a ray from the moon penetrating some aperture in the blind? No; moonlight was still, and this stirred; whil e I gazed, it glid ed up to the ceiling and quivered over my head. I can now conjecture readily that this streak of light was, in all likelihood, a gl eam from a lantern carried by some one across the lawn: but then, prepared as my mind was for horror, shaken as my nerves were by agitation, I thought the swift-darting beam was a herald of some coming vision from another world. My heart beat thick, my head grew hot; a sound fill ed my ears, which I d eemed the rushing of wings; something seemed near me; I was oppressed, suffocated: endurance broke d own - I rushed to the d oor and shook the l ock in d esperate effort. Steps came running along the outer passage; the key turned, Bessie and Abbot entered.‘Miss Eyre,are you ill?’ said Bessie.‘What a dreadful noise! It went quite through me!’ exclaimed Abbot.‘Take me out!Let me go into the nursery!’ was my cry.‘What for? Are you hurt? Have you seen something?’ again d emand ed Bessie.‘Oh! I saw a light, and I thought a ghost would come.’ I had now got hol d of Bessie's hand, and she did not snatch it from me.‘She has screamed out on purpose,’d eclared Abbot, in some disgust. ‘And what a scream! If she had been in great pain one woul d have excused it, but she only wanted to bring us all here: I know her naughty tricks.’‘What is all this?’ d emand ed another voice peremptorily; and Mrs. Reed came along the corrid or, her cap flying wid e, her gown rustling stormily. ‘Abbot and Bessie, I believe I gave ord ers that Jane Eyre shoul d be l eft in the red-room till I came to her myself.’‘Mis s Jane screamed so l oud, ma'am,’ pl ead ed Bessie.‘Let her go,’was the only answer. ‘Loose Bessie's hand,child: you cannot succeed in getting out by these means, be assured. I abhor artifice, particularly in children; it is my duty to show you that tricks will not answer: you will now stay here an hour l onger, and it is only on condition of perfect submission and stillness that I shall liberate you then.’‘Oh aunt, have pity! Forgive me! I cannot endure it - l et me be punished some other way! I shall be killed if -’‘Sil ence!This violence is all most repulsive;’ and so, no d oubt, she felt it. I wasa precocious actress in her eyes; she sincerely l ooked on me as a compound of virul ent passions, mean spirit, and dangerous duplicity.Bessie and Abbot having retreated, Mrs. Reed, impatient of my now frantic anguish and wild sobs, abruptly thrust me back and l ocked me in, without farther parl ey. I heard her sweeping away; and soon after she was gone, I suppose I had a species of fit: unconsciousness closed the scene.。

Jane Eyre is a novel by English writer Charlotte Brontë. It was published in London, England, in 1847 by Smith, Elder & Co. with the title Jane Eyre. The first American edition was released the following year by Harper & Brothers of New York. Writing for the Penguin edition, Stevie Davies describes it as “influential feminist text” because of its in-depth exploration of a strong female character’s feelings.Plot introductionJane Eyre is a first-person narrative of the title character. The novel goes through five distinct stages: Jane's childhood at Gateshead, where she is emotionally and physically abused by her aunt and cousins; her education at Lowood School, where she acquires friends and role models but also suffers privations and oppression; her time as the governess of Thornfield Hall, where she falls in love with her Byronic employer, Edward Rochester; her time with the Rivers family, during which her earnest but cold clergyman cousin, St John Rivers, proposes to her; and the finale with her reunion with, and marriage to, her beloved Rochester.Jane Eyre is divided into 38 chapters and most editions are at least 400 pages long. The original publication was in three volumes, comprising chapters 1 to 15, 16 to 26, and 27 to 38; this was a common publishing format during the 19th century. ThemesMoralityJane refuses to become Mr. Rochester's paramour because of her "impassioned self-respect and moral conviction." She rejects St. John Rivers' Puritanism as much asthe libertine aspects of Mr. Rochester's character. Instead, she works out a morality expressed in love, independence, and forgiveness. Jane does not want to be seen as an outcast to society by being a mistress to Rochester.FeminismThe role and standing of women in the Victorian era is considered by Brontë in Jane Eyre, specifically in regard to Jane's independence and ability to make decisions for herself. As a young woman, small and of relatively low social standing, Jane encounters men during her journey, of good, bad, and morally debatable character. However, many of them, no matter their ultimate intentions, attempt to establish some form of power and control over Jane. One example can be seen in Mr. Rochester, a man who ardently loves Jane, but who frequently commands and orders Jane about. As a self-assured and established man, and her employer, Mr. Rochester naturally assumes the position of the master in their relationship. He sometimes demands rather than questioning Jane, tries to manipulate and assess her feelings towards him, and enjoys propping up Jane through excessive gifts and luxuries that only he would have been able to provide. Jane, however, believes in the importance of women's independence, and strives to maintain a position in life devoid of any debts to others. Her initial lack of money and social status unnerves her, as she realizes that without the means to be an independent woman, she is bound to either struggle through life trying to make a living or marry and become dependent on a man. Even after Jane agrees to marry Mr. Rochester, and is swept up in the passion of the moment, the feminist elements of her personality still show through. She is uncomfortable with the showering of lavish gifts, as she resents that they will make her further reliant on and in debt to Mr. Rochester, and thus tries to resist them. Furthermore, Jane asserts that even after she is married to Mr. Rochester, she will continue to be Adèle's governess and earn her keep. This plan, which was entirely radical and unheard of for the time, further illustrates Jane's drive to remain a somewhat independent woman. While the significant men present in Jane's life throughout the novel all try to, in some form or another, establish themselves as dominant over Jane, she in most cases remains resistant at least to a certain degree, refusing to submit fully or lose all of her independence.。

Character Analysis of Jane Eyre胡迎春Abstract:This thesis analyses Jane Eyre’s character.No matter what Jane met,no matter where she always rebelled against that unfair society,she never gave up to try her best to get free,independent,fair life and true love,By unremitting efforts she finally got dignity,freedom and true love.Key words:Jane Eyre Rochester free freedom independent rebellious spirit hypocrisy dignity equality.Charlotte Bronte,an English writer,was a great critical realist in the 19th century.She wrote lots of works in her life. “Jane Eyre” was her masterpiece which has attracted readers of generation after generation.It was a world famous novel.Why did it get such success? Because it vividly portrayed a female in an unfair society who struggled continuously for freedom,independence and equality.The heroine of the novel,Jane Eyre lost her parents when she was only a baby and became an orphan.She was sent into Gateshead Hall,her uncle Reed’s. However,her aunt,Mrs.Reed treated her cruelly after Mr.Read had died.Jane received lots of neglect and abuse.But Jane didn’t surrender.After a series of sharp conflicts with the families,Jane left Gateshead Hall and came into Lowood school,an orphan school. Jane spent there for six years.At first ,she was a student,then a teacher.Being tired of that dull life there,Jane left Lowood and was employed as a governess of Thornfield.At Thornfield,though Jane was humble and plain,but the master of Thornfield,Mr.Rochester still loved her because of her intelligent speaking,independent attitude and courageous behavior.Jane also loved Rochester because he treated her equally.They planned to marry.On the wedding day at the church,a stranger called Mason appeared.MrMason declared the existence of impediment to the marriage.He said Rochester had already married .It was fifteen years ago that Rochester married Mason’s sister.Mason’s sister was mad and locked in a room of Thornfield.Now,Jane had no choice but to leave Thornfield.Jane roamed for two days and was accepted by St John Rivers and his sisters.(They were later proved to be Jane’s cousins).Then Jane got inheritance from her Uncle John Eyre.She shared the inheritance with her cousins.Mr.St John decided to go to India as a missionary.He asked Jane to go with him.Jane refused St John’s suggestion of marriage,because she knew what St John loved only was God,not her. Finally, She seemed to hear Rochester’s call,she returned to Thornfield. But now, Thornfield was ruined in a big fire. Rochester’s mad wife died and Mr.Rochester was already blind in both eyes,with only one arm left. In spite of Rochester’s disability,Jane married him. From then on ,they lived a happy life.The novel, “Jane Eyre”,had a profound connotation.It successfully portrayed Jane ,a rebellious female.In order to get dignity,freedom,independence and true love,Jane tried to preserve her self-respect,struggling with the social prejudice and oppression.With the development of Jane’s rebellious spirit,the theme of the novel was revealed clearly.At Gateshead Hall,Jane had the first consciousness of the unfair society,she began to realize the importance of independence.At Mrs.Reed’s, Jane was an orphan without any property and had to live with the help of others.Under this background,everyone looked down upon her. In the face of “John’s violent tyrannies, John’s sisters’proud indifference,his mother’s aversion and the servants’partiality”，①Jane asked herself “Why I was always suffering,always browbeaten,always abused,for ever condemned”.②Her reason said “unjust!”③A first angry voice bursted out from her deep heat.Jane had always yielded to John but this time. When John beat her again,with her headbroken,she attacked him viciously.She shouted at him, “wicked cruel boy! You are like a murder ! You are like a slave-driver-you are like the Roman emperors!”④Even when Mrs.Reed locked her in the red room,she wasn’t still obedient.Jane exposed boldly Mrs.Reed’s lies and hypocrisy.She said “I am not deceitful,”that “you have no pity”,that “you are deceitful”.⑤Jane suffered wreck on body and torment in spirit,her heart was filled with fury,Though her strength saw weak,in the face of strong oppressors,she was considering how to attack.Due to Jane’s true exposure ,Mrs.Read felt afraid,Jane got a little victory in spirit.In those days at Gateshead Hall,Jane’s strong,bravery,unbending characters were expressed step by step.Her every behavior showed her great indignation.Isolation,poverty,discrimination and oppression caused her to revolt the unfair society with her own way.Because of revolt,Jane was driven away from Gateshead to Lowood Institution.Lowood Institution was a charity school for poor clergymen’s daughters.Jane lived here for eight years.Her rebellious spirits became mature.She saw clearly the hypocrisy of the school and exposed it viciously.Charity was nothing but a lie .Tobe frank,charity school was a terrible hell in men’s world.Children there weren’t supplied with enough food,clothes and good treatment of disease.Many of them died of illness.The school preached love and sympathy,but it was in name.They had no love and sympathy at all,living in hunger and cold,children must sang psalms and prayed for God and thanked for oppressors.In this unfair society,Hallen,a clever,intelligent and beautiful girl received curse and beat,finally lost her young life.However,she had no hate to anyone .Religion poisoned her mind deeply.She believed in God. She spoke to Jane “I believe God is good ,I can resign my immoral part to him without any misgiving.God is my father,God is my friend: I love him, I believe he loves me”.⑥Just because of these ideas,Hallen hadn’t a little rebel against that kind of cruel treatment.However,Jane,was not like Hallen.She always tried to revolt,though she was still a child,she told Hallen “If people were always kind and obedient to those who are cruel and unjust,the wicked people would have it all their own way,they would never feel afraid,and so they would never alter,but would grow worse and worse ,when we are struck at without a reason,we should strike back again very hard; I’m sure we should-----so hard as to teach the person who struck us never to do it again.”⑦This rhythmic and forceful speech embodied the deep oppression of bourgeoisie to the lower women and Jane’s rebellious spirit.To achieve independence as an equal human,Jane never yielded to fate and background.At Lowood Institution,Jane learned from Hallen the importance of duty and self-control and she also learned from Maria Temple the value of independence. She would rather stay there than depend on her aunt for a living .On the surface,Jane was quiet,in reality,she never changed her characters,a fighter against the unfair world .When Miss Temple left Lowood,Jane couldn’t put up with dullness and isolation there.She looked forward to a new life,a wider world and a free sky .No matter what would happen in the future,she would face it bravely,she “remembered that real world was wide ,and that a varied field of hopes and fears,of sensations and excitement,awaited,those who had courage to go forth into its expanse,to seek real knowledge of life amidst its perils.”⑧The rebellious fury was burnt again.Then Jane made an advertisement and got a governess profession at Thornfield.At Thornfield,Jane was very awake,she made her every effort to rebel against social prejudice and customs,struggling for independence and true love.Jane’s spirit of rebellion and independent character were fully showed.From the first day when she came into Thornfield to the last day when she left there,Jane never gave up her dignity.She always took the governess of Adele as herjob to support herself,remaining independent.At the beginning her attitude was defensive,reserved,not expressing her deep heart.She was afraid something would hurt her.She was always gatting ready to revolt any attack from others,especially the ter on,just because of Jane’s different ideas won Rochester’s love.They fell in deep love with each other.Rochester didn’t want Jane to go on working,he wished Jane belonged to him and considered Jane as his property.Jane refused his suggest without any hesitation. In her opinion,if she lost her job,she must depend on Rochester to live,thus independence said goodbye to her,she was only a thing of Rochester.Jane was good at self-control.She could grasp herself very well,never losing sense of propriety,in what she did or said.For example,at the party,Jane kept silent though her heart was very exciting.From the others’ point of views,Blanche Ingram,as a typical representative of the rich class was so beautiful.She was the ideal wife of Rochester.If Rochester married Ingram,it was natural.Because in that society,people’s sense of love was on the basis of money .In their eyes,money was everything,money was marriage.For the sake of money they could marry anyone even though the husband or the wife was an idiot.So the marriage between Rochester and Ingram was fair and reasonable.But with the development of plot,Miss Ingram was proved to be a loser.Jane defeated her though Jane had no property and beauty.Jane’s plainness,poverty,position and disposition were contrasted to Ingram obviously.Jane was so calm,kind,intelligent,sympathetic and thoughtful ,while Ingram’s mind was poor and hypocritical.She had no sympathy at all.She planned to marry Rochester only because of Rochester’s property,Ingram tried her best to fascinate Rochester again and again,unfortunately,she failed again and again.Jane was fully aware of it.She witnessed “their repeated failure”.⑨The party was the climax of the novel and the essence of the book.At the party,Jane’s victory was complete.According to her beautiful personality and the strength of noble spirit,Jane drove away those aristocrats from competitive stage.High position and great wealth showed by noble class was put aside.Jane got glorious victory.As for the love between Jane and Rochester Jane insisted on her own opinion,keeping independent all the time.Why Jane would love Rochester?Because Rochester treated her equally,not considering her a servant.At the beginning ,when Jane realized Rochester’s special feeling to her,she always kept her distance.Gradually they fell into deep love.Jane still reserved her dignity.She didn’t give up her job,a governess who was economically ter on,when Jane thought Rochester was going to marry Ingram,she decided to leave to find a new job for living though she was very miserable at that moment.She said firmly: “I’m no bird ,and no net ensnares,I am a human being with an independent will,which I now exert to leave you ”.⑩Jane knew she was the just person whom Rochester loved,but she also knew if she didn’t leave after Rochester and Ingram got married,she couldn’t be an independent person at Thornfield.In some degree,in her opinion,she turned to be a poverty of Rochester.Then she would lose her dignity which was most appreciated by her.If Rochester couldn’t treat her equally,she couldn’t stay with him any longer.She retorted excitedly: “Do you think I can stay to become nothing to you? Do you think I am an automation?---a machine without feelings? And can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips,and my drop of living water dashed from my cup? Do you think,because I’m poor,obscure,plain and little,I am soulless and heartless ? You think wrong!----I have as much soul as you,as full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty,and much wealth,I should have made it as hard for you to leave me,as it is now for me to leave you.I’m not talking to you now though the medium of customs conventionalities ,nor even of mortal flesh : ----it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave,and we stood at God’sfeet,equal,-----as we are!”11These words expressed completely Jane’s rebellious spirit.She thought she was equal to Rochester.Jane made the strongest voice of revolt as an independent human.Jane insisted on her own outlook on life,defending human dignity,and protecting her feelings from being violated.Jane would rather abandoned comfortable life at Thornfield than lose independence.At last,when Jane decided to marry Rochester,she refused extravagance.Luxurious clothes and jewelry were meaningless for her.She wasn’t “a Jew-usurer,seeking good investment in land.”12What Jane needed was a happy family and a man who gave his confidence and treated her equally.The fate often made fun of Jane.On the wedding between Jane and Rochester,Jane was told that Rochester had married before.Bertha Mason,a mad woman was his wife who had been living at a room at Thornfield.At the bad news,Jane was very reasonable.Though every feeling revolted against leaving Rochester,Mr.Rochester wanted her not to go and live with him,she still made a decision to leave.She knew if she agreed with Rochester,she would fell into the category of mistress and lost her respect.The dream of freedom,happiness and the independence which she was looking forward to were fancies.Being a mistress was a tragedy.The strength or reason was power over emotion.Jane left Thornfield resolutely to meet unknown fate in the future.To get dignity,freedom and independence,Jane had roamed for two days.She almost starved to death.Luckily,St John helped her.Jane was arranged to be with St John’s sisters.Jane won the sisters’ love because Jane was so firm,kind and intelligent.But Jane didn’t want to depend on her cousins for living,she accepted the job offered by St John,acting as a teacher in a village school.Jane gained social respect because of her hardworking.Thus,she was self-sufficient and entirely relied on herself.Her independent and rebellious characters were further deepened.Jane’s spirits of revolt was obviously expressed by her refusal of St John’s offer of marriage.Jane never changed her will to follow St John.She thought, “If I join St John,I abandon half myself,if I go to India,I go to premature death”, “if I do made the sacrifice he urges,I’ll throw all on the altar-heart,vitals,the entire victims.”13Jane said to St John, “I scorn your idea of love”. Jane dared to rebel against St John’s offer because she thought they were equal.She had the right to rebel against him.Since St John only loved God,getting ready to devote his everything even life to religion,he wasn’t worth being loved by Jane.In Jane’s eyes,St John could live as a tool to serve God.Jane’s rebellious will was too firm,St John’s every effort couldn’t change her idea.Jane knew if she agreed with St John,she was also a tool to serve him.Happiness and independence wouldn’t belong to her any longer.She wouldn’t get true love forever,she must do what she wanted to do.She wouldn’t betray her will.Her sincere love for Rochester finally caused her to go back to Thornfield.Influenced by psychic experience,Jane seemed to hear Rochester’s supernatural call.Her spirit felt victorious over her body,so Jane revisited Thornfield.Surprisingly,Everything at Thornfield changed : the hall lied in ruins.Thornfield was destroyed in a big fire.It was Rochester’s lunatic wife who set fire to the Hall.Rochester was the last to leave the burning Hall.Unfortunately,when Rochester tried to save his mad wife,he was injured badly.Now,his wife was dead,he was blind in both eyes and crippledby losing an arm.He wasn’t the rich man as before.He had already lost all his property.At this moment,in common people’s eyes,it was not proper for Jane to marry Rochester.What’s more,Jane was now rich.Her Uncle John in Madeira had died and left her inheritance.However,in spite of common barriers,Jane married Rochester.she told Rochester she would be his neighbor,his nurse,his housekeeper,she didn’t think Rochester wasruin,lighting-struck tree.Nothing could stop her.To be Rochester’s wife was happy as she could be on the earth.Jane got true love,freedom and independence.Just as she said, “I hope myself supremely blest---blest beyond what language can express; because I am my husband’s life as fully as he is mine.No woman was ever nearer to her mate than I am:ever more absolutely bone of his bone,and fresh of his fresh.”14Jane’s special character ran through the whole novel. In this novel,Jane was portrayed a rebellious female who always struggled with the unfair society for human dignity,independence,freedom and true love.At any time,Jane was self-knowledgeable,honest and cautious.As long as someone insulted and ruthless reprisals.Jane only loved those who loved her and struck back at those who struck her.Jane looked too weak to withstand a gust of wind,while she was strong,faithful and brave.In the face of any difficulties,she never escaped but faced them courageously.Jane would rather starve to death than be Rochester’s.Her moral strength caused Mr.Rochester to lean finally on her in every emergency,and Rochester felt he could not leave her.Her generous nature revealed itself in her added love for Adele when she heard about her background.Jane’s compassion and willingness to forgive offered Mrs.Reed a chance at reconciliation;Jane’s good reason made her self-control,even under the almost hypnotic spell of St John’s religious fervor.Jane’s emotion was natural,rich ,enthusiastic,like fire.St John’s strength of “ice”couldn’t change the “fire”of Jane’s nature .Generally speaking,Jane’s spirit,strong in her first encounter of the book,remained strong throughout the book.。
