This is a story about a special and unreserved woman who has been exposed to a hostile environment but continuously and fearlessly struggling for her ideal life. The story can be interpreted as a symbol of the independent spirit.

It seems to me that many readers’ English reading experience starts with Jane Eyer. I am of no exception. As we refer to the movie “Jane Eyer”， it is not surprising to find some differences because of its being filmized and retold in a new way, but the spirit of the novel remains----to be an independent person, both physically and mentally.

Jane Eyer was a born resister, whose parents went off when she was very young, and her aunt，the only relative she had，treated her as badly as a ragtag. Since Jane’s education in Lowwood Orphanage began, she didn’t get what she had been expecting——simply being regarded as a common person, just the same as any other girl around. The suffers from being humiliated and devastated teach Jane to be persevering and prize dignity over anything else.As a reward of revolting the ruthless oppression, Jane got a chance to be a tutor in Thornfield Garden. There she made the acquaintance of lovely Adele and that garden’s owner, Rochester, a man with warm heart despite a cold face outside. Jane expected to change the life from then on, but fate had decided otherwise: After Jane and Rochester fell in love with each other and got down to get marry, she unfortunately came to know in fact Rochester had got a legal wife, who seemed to be the shadow following Rochester and led to his moodiness all the time ----Rochester was also a despairing person in need of salvation. Jane did want to give him a hand, however, she made up her mind to leave, because she didn’t want to betray her own principles, because she was Jane Eyer. The film has finally got a symbolist end: Jane inherited a large number of legacies and finally returned. After finding Rochester’s misfortune brought by his original mad wife, Jane chose to stay with him forever.

I don’t know what others feel, but frankly speaking, I would rather regard the section that Jane began her teaching job in Thornfield as the film’s end----especially when I heard Jane’s words “Never in my life have I been awaken so happily.” For one thing, this ideal and brand-new beginning of life was what Jane had been imagining for long as a suffering person; for another, this should be what the audiences with my views hoped her to get. But the professional judgment of producing films reminded me to wait for a totally different result: There must be something wrong coming with the excellence----perhaps not only should another section be added to enrich the story, but also we may see from the next transition of Jane’s life that “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you would get.” (By Forrest Gump’s mother, in the film “Forrest Gump”)

What’s more, this film didn’t end when Jane left Thornfield. For Jane Eyer herself, there should always be somewhere to realize her great ideal of being independent considering her fortitude, but for Rochester, how he can get salvation? The film gives the answer tentatively: Jane eventually got back to Rochester. In fact, when Jane met Rochester for the first time, she scared his horse and made his heel strained, to a certain extent, which meant Rochester would get retrieval because of Jane. We can consider Rochester’s experiences as that of religion meaning. The fire by his frantic wife was the punishment for the cynicism early in his life. After it, Rochester got the mercy of the God and the love of the woman whom he loved. Here we can say: human nature and divinity get united perfectly in order to let such a story accord with the requirements of both two sides. The value of this film may be due to its efforts to explore a new way for the development of humanism under the faith of religion.

Life is ceaselessly changing, but our living principles remain. Firmly persisting for the rights of being independent gives us enough confidence and courage, which is like the beacon over the capriccioso sea of life. In the world of the film, we have found the stories of ourselves, which makes us so concerned about the fate of the dramatis personae.

In this era of rapid social and technological change leading to increasing life complexity and psychological displacement, both physical and mental effects on us call for a balance. We are likely to find ourselves bogged down in the Sargasso Sea of information overload and living unconsciousness. It’s our spirit that makes the life meaningful.

Heart is the engine of body, brain is the resource of thought, and great films are the mirrors of life. Indubitably, “Jane Eyer” is one of them.

簡愛讀后感600字英文（精選篇1）

《簡愛》是英國文學史上的一部經典傳世之作，它成功地塑造了英國文學史中第一個對愛情、生活、社會以及宗教都采取了獨立自主的積極進取態度和敢于斗爭、敢于爭取自由平等地位的女性形象。

大凡喜愛外國文學作品的女性，都喜歡讀夏洛蒂的《簡愛》。如果我們認為夏洛蒂僅僅只為寫這段纏綿的愛情而寫《簡愛》。我想，錯了。作者也是一位女性，生活在波動變化著的英國19世紀中葉，那時思想有著一個嶄新的開始。而在《簡愛》里滲透最多的也就是這種思想——女性的獨立意識。讓我們試想一下，如果簡愛的獨立，早已被扼殺在寄人籬下的童年生活里;如果她沒有那份獨立，她早已和有妻女的羅切斯特生活在一起，開始有金錢，有地位的新生活;如果她沒有那份純潔，我們現在手中的《簡愛》也不再是令人感動的流淚的經典。所以，我開始去想，為什么《簡愛》讓我們感動，愛不釋手——就是她獨立的性格，令人心動的人格魅力。

然而，我們不禁要問，僅這一步就能獨立嗎?我認為，不會的。畢竟女性的獨立是一個長期的過程，不是一蹴而就的。它需要一種徹底的勇氣，就像簡愛當年毅然離開羅切斯特一樣，需要“風瀟瀟兮易水寒，壯土一去兮不復返”的豪邁和膽量。我想，這應該才是最關鍵的一步，也應該是走向獨立的決定性的一步。而夏洛蒂筆下的簡愛卻把她倔強的性格，獨立的個性留給我們一個感動。所以她是成功的，幸福的女性。

簡愛已作為獨立女性的經典，我希望陽光下，鮮花里有更多的簡愛走出來，不管是貧窮，還是富有;不管是美貌，還是相貌平庸，都有美好的心靈和充實的心胸，都能以獨立的人格和堅強的個性生活。
