Jane Eyre The orphaned protagonist of the story. When the novel begins, she is an isolated, powerless ten-year-old living with an aunt and cousins who dislike her. As the novel progresses, she grows in strength. She distinguishes herself at Lowood School because of her hard work and strong intellectual abilities. As a governess at Thornfield, she learns of the pleasures and pains of love through her relationship with Edward Rochester. After being deceived by him, she goes to Marsh End, where she regains her spiritual focus and discovers her own strength when she rejects St. John River’s marriage proposal. By novel’s end she has become a powerful, independent woman, blissfully married to the man she loves, Rochester. Edward Fairfax Rochester Jane’s lover; a dark, passionate, brooding man. A traditional romantic hero, Rochester has lived a troubled wife. Married to an insane Creole woman, Bertha Mason, Rochester sought solace for several years in the arms of mistresses. Finally, he seeks to purify his life and wants Jane Eyre, the innocent governess he has hired to teach his foster daughter, Adèle Varens, to become his wife. The wedding falls through when she learns of the existence of his wife. As penance for his transgressions, he is punished by the loss of an eye and a hand when Bertha sets fire to Thornfield. He finally gains happiness at the novel’s end when he is reunited with Jane. Sarah Reed Jane’s unpleasant aunt, who raises her until she is ten years old. Despite Jane’s attempts at reconciliation before her aunt’s death, her aunt refuses to relent. She dies unloved by her children and unrepentant of her mistreatment of Jane. John Reed Jane’s nasty and spoiled cousin, responsible for Jane’s banishment to the red-room. Addicted to drinking and gambling, John supposedly commits suicide at the age of twenty-three when his mother is no longer willing or able to pay his debts. Eliza Reed Another one of Jane’s spoiled cousins, Eliza is insanely jealous of the beauty of her sister, Georgiana. She nastily breaks up Georgiana’s elopement with Lord Edwin Vere, and then becomes a devout Christian. But her brand of Christianity is devoid of all compassion or humanity; she shows no sympathy for her dying mother and vows to break off all contact with Georgiana after their mother’s death. Usefulness is her mantra. She enters a convent in Lisle, France, eventually becoming the Mother Superior and leaving her money to the church. Georgiana Reed Eliza’s and John’s sister, Georgiana is the beauty of the family. She’s also shallow and self-centered, interested primarily in her own pleasure. She accuses her sister, Eliza, of sabotaging her plans to marry Lord Edwin Vere. Like Eliza, she shows no emotion following their mother’s death. Eventually, Georgiana marries a wealthy, but worn-out society man. Bessie Lee The maid at Gateshead who sometimes consoles Jane by telling her entertaining stories and singing her songs. Bessie visits Jane at Lowood, impressed by Jane’s intellectual attainments and ladylike behavior. Bessie marries the coachman, Robert Leaven, and has three children. Mr. Lloyd The kind apothecary who suggests that Jane be sent to school following her horrifying experience in the red-room. His letter to Miss Temple clears Jane of the accusations Mrs. Reed has made against her. Mr. Brocklehurst The stingy, mean-hearted manager of Lowood. He hypocritically feeds the girls at the school starvation-level rations, while his wife and daughters live luxuriously. The minister of Brocklebridge Church, he represents a negative brand of Christianity, one that lacks all compassion or kindness. Helen Burns Jane’s spiritual and intellectual friend at Lowood. Although she is unfairly punished by Miss Scatcherd at Lowood, Helen maintains her poise, partially through her loving friendship with Miss Temple. From Helen, Jane learns tolerance and peace, but Jane can’t accept Helen’s rejection of the material world. Helen’s impressive intellectual attainments inspire Jane to work hard at school. Dying in Jane’s arms, Helen looks forward to peace in heaven and eventual reunion with Jane. Maria Temple The warm-hearted superintendent at Lowood who generously offers the girls bread and cheese when their breakfasts are inedible. An impressive scholar, a model of ladylike behavior and a compassionate person, Miss Temple is a positive role model for Jane. She cares for Jane and Helen, offering them seedcake in her room and providing Helen with a warm, private bed when she is dying.

简爱》的问世曾经轰动了十九世纪的文坛,它以一种不可抗拒的美感吸引了成千上万的读者,有一种抑制不住的冲动,驱使人拿起这本书,随之深深感动,心灵也为之震颤。 这是一部带有自转色彩的长篇小说,是英国十九世纪著名三姐妹作家之一的夏洛蒂*勃朗特所著。这是一本用自己的心与强烈的精神追求铸炼成的一本书,含着作者无限的情感和个性魅力,为女性赢得了一片灿烂的天空。 主人公简爱身材瘦小,相貌平凡,无金钱、无地位,却有着不平凡的气质和非常丰富的情感世界。她在生活的磨练中,抛弃了女性天生的懦弱与娇柔逐渐养成了坚强独立的个性。她不会在表兄残暴面前甘心被辱,而是据理力争。即使结果不尽人意,却始终如一没有低头;在魔鬼般冷酷的布洛克尔赫斯先生的折磨下,她不会表现出任何恐惧,而是从容的扛下来,独立坚强的活下来。读《简爱》,我为幼年的她所受到的虐待而悲愤,感同身受般的体会着简爱那幼小敏感的心灵所受的伤害。我也为简爱而倾倒。喜欢她在地位比她高的所谓上流社会人士面前表现出的那种不卑不亢的态度,喜欢她在面对爱时表现出的的那种自尊自强的精神,心中不禁感叹在距离她所处的年代进步了二百年的现代,又有几个女子有勇气为了自己的尊严而对一个心爱又富有的男子说不呢?简爱就可以!在她的身上时刻闪现着一种独立人格的壮美与崇高! “你以为,就因为我穷,低微,不美,我就没有心,没有灵魂吗?我跟你一样有灵魂,也完全一样有一颗心。要是上帝也赐予我美貌和财富的话,我也会让你难以离开我,就像我现在难以离开你一样!”每次读《简爱》的时候,都会被这段话所震撼。正如爱德华所说的,简“如一只发疯的鸟儿拼命撕掉自己的羽毛。”这是一种强烈的自我释放,一种悲与爱交织起来的“支配一切、战胜一切、压倒一切”的力量。她在用自己的语言和行动表明:自己有权平等地追求一份属于自己的爱情。她不美、卑微,却以自己的独特气质吸引着所有的人。两性之间是平等的,女子必须有独立的人格,自尊自爱,不依附于其他人才可以赢得别人的尊重和热爱,才会有真正的幸福。爱情须以平等和互相独立作为基础,不是一味地接受对方的给予。假若简爱选择留下,甘心当个无名无分、近乎情妇的妻子,罗切斯特会像当初那样痴爱着她吗?他爱的是不卑不亢、自尊自重的简爱,不是一个躲在他怀中只懂得接受疼爱的女子!简爱是一代又一代的女性心中最平易近人的偶像,她不会难以靠近,她的影子飘散在我们的周围,以她为准则,大家都可以生活的自信坦荡,都可以沿着命运给予的线索找到自己真正的幸福所在。 而在当今的现实世界里,人们都疯狂的似乎为了金钱和地位而淹没爱情。在穷与富之间选择富,在爱与不爱之间选择不爱。很少有人会像简这样为爱情为个体的人格尊严抛弃所有,而且义无反顾。也许当人们穷得只剩下钱时,他们会去追求“真爱“。可被铜臭熏过的精神还配拥有真爱吗?也许到了化繁为简返朴归真的时候了。在追求物质生活的时候,应该在生活中灌注一些真情和温情,追求一份本真的温馨、和谐和宽容。让我们也追求全心付出的感觉,不计得失的简化的感情。纯净的像一杯水,缓缓地洒落人间。 从世俗的喧嚣浮华中脱离出来,静下心来细细地品读《简爱》吧,去和简爱的灵魂对话。简爱就是一个童话,她让我们相信,拥有了独立人格并可以自尊、自爱、自立、自信的女子,即使是一株野百合,也会有自己的骄傲,也会找到属于自己的永远的春天。 希望对楼主有帮助。
