《简爱》是英国文学史上的一部经典传世之作,它成功地塑造了英国文学史中第一个对爱情、生活、社会以及宗教都采取了独立自主的积极进取态度和敢于斗争、敢于争取自由平等地位的女性形象.
简.爱生存在一个父母双亡,寄人篱下的环境.从小就承受着与同龄人不一样的待遇：姨妈的嫌弃,表姐的蔑视,表哥的侮辱和毒打...然而,她并没有绝望,她并没有自我摧毁,并没有在侮辱中沉沦.所带来的种种不幸的一切,相反,换回的却是简.爱的无限信心,却是简.爱的坚强不屈的精神,一种可战胜的内在人格力量.／）
在学习生活中,简.爱仍然是承受着肉体上的受罚和心灵上的催残.学校的施主罗可赫斯特不但当着全校师生的面诋毁她,而且把她置于耻辱台上示众.使她在全校师生面前丢尽了脸.但简.爱仍坚强不屈,化悲愤为力量,不但在学习上飞速进步,而且也取得了师生们的理解.
不久,简.爱又陷入了爱情的旋涡.个性及强的她同样保持着个人高贵的尊严,在情敌面前显得大家闺秀,毫不逊色,对于英格拉姆小姐的咄咄逼人,她从容面对.
同样,在罗切斯特的面前,她从不因为自己是一个地位低贱的家庭教师,而感到自卑,她认为他们是平等的.不应该因为她是仆人,而不能受到别人的尊重.也正因为她的正直,高尚,纯洁,心灵没有受到世俗社会的污染.使得罗切斯特感到自惭性秽,同时对她肃然起敬,并深深地爱上了她.他的真心,让她感动,她接受了他.后来,简.爱发现罗切斯特已有了妻子,她的自尊自重再次出现,毫不犹豫地离开了他,她对爱情的专一,让我敬佩.
最后,简.爱得知,罗切斯特为了拯救在活中的妻子不幸双目失明.躯体严重残疾,完全丧失了生活能力,而同时又妻亡财毁.简.爱全身心的爱再次投入了他的怀抱.
在当今社会,人们都疯狂地为了金钱和地位而淹没爱情.在穷与富之间选择富,而在爱与不爱之间选择不爱.很少有人会像简爱这样为爱情为人格抛弃所有,而且义无反顾.《简爱》所展现给我们的正是一种返朴归真,是一种追求全心付出的爱情,还有作为一个人应有的尊严.它犹如一杯冰水,净化每一个人的心灵.
简·爱已作为独立女性的经典,我希望阳光下,鲜花里有更多的简爱走出来,不管是贫穷,还是富有；不管是美貌,还是相貌平庸,都有美好的心灵和充实的心胸,都能以独立的人格和坚强的个性生活.

Jane Eyre
The development of Jane Eyre’s character is central to the novel. From the beginning, Jane possesses a sense of her self-worth and dignity, a commitment to justice and principle, a trust in God, and a passionate disposition. Her integrity is continually tested over the course of the novel, and Jane must learn to balance the frequently conflicting aspects of herself so as to find contentment.

An orphan since early childhood, Jane feels exiled and ostracized at the beginning of the novel, and the cruel treatment she receives from her Aunt Reed and her cousins only exacerbates her feeling of alienation. Afraid that she will never find a true sense of home or community, Jane feels the need to belong somewhere, to find “kin,” or at least “kindred spirits.” This desire tempers her equally intense need for autonomy and freedom.
In her search for freedom, Jane also struggles with the question of what type of freedom she wants. While Rochester initially offers Jane a chance to liberate her passions, Jane comes to realize that such freedom could also mean enslavement—by living as Rochester’s mistress, she would be sacrificing her dignity and integrity for the sake of her feelings. St. John Rivers offers Jane another kind of freedom: the freedom to act unreservedly on her principles. He opens to Jane the possibility of exercising her talents fully by working and living with him in India. Jane eventually realizes, though, that this freedom would also constitute a form of imprisonment, because she would be forced to keep her true feelings and her true passions always in check.
Charlotte Brontë may have created the character of Jane Eyre as a means of coming to terms with elements of her own life. Much evidence suggests that Brontë, too, struggled to find a balance between love and freedom and to find others who understood her. At many points in the book, Jane voices the author’s then-radical opinions on religion, social class, and gender.
Edward Rochester
Despite his stern manner and not particularly handsome appearance, Edward Rochester wins Jane’s heart, because she feels they are kindred spirits, and because he is the first person in the novel to offer Jane lasting love and a real home. Although Rochester is Jane’s social and economic superior, and although men were widely considered to be naturally superior to women in the Victorian period, Jane is Rochester’s intellectual equal. Moreover, after their marriage is interrupted by the disclosure that Rochester is already married to Bertha Mason, Jane is proven to be Rochester’s moral superior.
Rochester regrets his former libertinism and lustfulness; nevertheless, he has proven himself to be weaker in many ways than Jane. Jane feels that living with Rochester as his mistress would mean the loss of her dignity. Ultimately, she would become degraded and dependent upon Rochester for love, while unprotected by any true marriage bond. Jane will only enter into marriage with Rochester after she has gained a fortune and a family, and after she has been on the verge of abandoning passion altogether. She waits until she is not unduly influenced by her own poverty, loneliness, psychological vulnerability, or passion. Additionally, because Rochester has been blinded by the fire and has lost his manor house at the end of the novel, he has become weaker while Jane has grown in strength—Jane claims that they are equals, but the marriage dynamic has actually tipped in her favor.
St. John Rivers

St. John Rivers is a foil to Edward Rochester. Whereas Rochester is passionate, St. John is austere and ambitious. Jane often describes Rochester’s eyes as flashing and flaming, whereas she constantly associates St. John with rock, ice, and snow. Marriage with Rochester represents the abandonment of principle for the consummation of passion, but marriage to St. John would mean sacrificing passion for principle. When he invites her to come to India with him as a missionary, St. John offers Jane the chance to make a more meaningful contribution to society than she would as a housewife. At the same time, life with St. John would mean life without true love, in which Jane’s need for spiritual solace would be filled only by retreat into the recesses of her own soul. Independence would be accompanied by loneliness, and joining St. John would require Jane to neglect her own legitimate needs for love and emotional support. Her consideration of St. John’s proposal leads Jane to understand that, paradoxically, a large part of one’s personal freedom is found in a relationship of mutual emotional dependence.
Helen Burns
Helen Burns, Jane’s friend at Lowood School, serves as a foil to Mr. Brocklehurst as well as to Jane. While Mr. Brocklehurst embodies an evangelical form of religion that seeks to strip others of their excessive pride or of their ability to take pleasure in worldly things, Helen represents a mode of Christianity that stresses tolerance and acceptance. Brocklehurst uses religion to gain power and to control others; Helen ascetically trusts her own faith and turns the other cheek to Lowood’s harsh policies.
Although Helen manifests a certain strength and intellectual maturity, her efforts involve self-negation rather than self-assertion, and Helen’s submissive and ascetic nature highlights Jane’s more headstrong character. Like Jane, Helen is an orphan who longs for a home, but Helen believes that she will find this home in Heaven rather than Northern England. And while Helen is not oblivious to the injustices the girls suffer at Lowood, she believes that justice will be found in God’s ultimate judgment—God will reward the good and punish the evil. Jane, on the other hand, is unable to have such blind faith. Her quest is for love and happiness in this world. Nevertheless, she counts on God for support and guidance in her search
