Petite heroine Jane Eyre, homely, no money, no status, but it has an extraordinary temperament and a very rich emotional world. She honed in life, abandoned women born weak and delicate gradually develop a strong and independent personality. She was not willing to humiliation in the face of brutal cousin, but argue.

Jane can! Moment in her body flashed an independent personality of the sublime and lofty!
\"Do you think, because I am poor, humble, not the United States, I have no heart, no soul? I like you have a soul, but also exactly the same as a heart. If God had gifted me with beauty and wealth, I would It allows you to leave me, as I now to leave you! \"Every time read\" Jane Eyre hat they will be shocked by these words. As Edward said, simply, \"like a mad bird desperately tearing his feathers.\" This is a strong self-released A grief and love intertwined together, \"dominated everything, conquer everything, overwhelming everything\" power. Her own language and actions show that: they have the right to an equal pursue their own love. She is not beautiful, humble, but with their own unique qualities to attract all

Love shall serve as a basis of equality and mutual independence, not simply accept each other's administration. If Jane chose to stay, willing to be a nameless no points, almost mistress wife, Rochester will be like the original as Chiai with her? He loved reasonable manner, self-respect of Jane Eyre, not a hiding his arms to accept only know how to love a woman! Jane Eyre is generations of female hearts of the most approachable idol, she will not difficult to close, her shadow drifting around us, with her as a criterion, we can live magnanimous self-confidence, can give clues to the fate along find their true happiness lies.
In today's real world, people are crazy for money and status seems to drown love. Choose between the poor and the rich rich, the choice between love and not love does not love. Few people like Jane abandon all this for love of human dignity for the individual, and no turning back. Maybe when people are so poor that only money, they will go to the pursuit of \"love.\" Can be smoked mercenary spirit also deserve to have love it? Perhaps to simplify time to return to basics. In the pursuit of material life, we should perfusion of some truth and warmth in life, to pursue one of the true warmth, harmony and tolerance. Let us also seek devote full feeling, excluding gains and losses simplified feelings. Pure like a glass of water, slowly floating down to earth.
Detachment from worldly vanity in the hustle and bustle, makes a stop and read of \"Jane Eyre\" it, go and Jane's soul dialogue. Jane Eyre is a fairy tale, she let us
believe, have an independent personality and can self-esteem, self-love, self-confident woman, even a lily, will have their own pride, will find their own eternal spring . Jane Eyre, is a poor but aspiring, small in body but huge in soul, obscure but self-respecting girl. After we close the covers of the book, after having a long journey of the spirit, Jane Eyre, a marvelous figure, has left us so much to recall and to think:
We remember her goodness: for someone who lost arms and blinded in eyes, for someone who despised her for her ordinariness, and even for someone who had hurt her deeply in the past.
We remember her pursuit of justice. It’s like a companion with the goodness. But still, a virtuous person should promote the goodness on one side and must check the badness on the other side.
We remember her self-respect and the clear situation on equality. In her opinion, everyone is the same at the God’s feet. Though there are differences in status、in property and also in appearance, but all the human being are equal in personality.
We also remember her striving for life, her toughness and her confidence…
When we think of this girl, what she gave us was not a pretty face or a transcendent temperament that make us admire deeply, but a huge charm of her personality.
Actually, she wasn’t pretty, and of course, the ordinary appearance didn’t make others feel good of her, even her own aunt felt disgusted with it. And some others even thought that she was easy to look down on and to tease, so when Miss Ingram met Jane Eyre, she seemed quite contemptuous, for that she was obviously much more prettier than ‘the plain and ugly governess’. But as the little governess had said: ‘Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong!’ This is the idea of equality in Jane Eyre’s mind. God hadn’t given her beauty and wealth, but instead, God gave her a kind mind and a thinking brain. Her idea of equality and self-respect impress us so much and let us feel the power inside her body.
In my mind, though a person’s beauty on the face can make others once feel that one is attractive and charming, if his or her mind isn’t the same beautiful as the appearance, such as beauty cannot last for, when others find that the beauty which had charmed them was only a falsity, it’s not true, they will like the person no more. For a long time, only a person’s great virtue, a noble soul, a beautiful heart can be called as AN EVERLASTING BEAUTY, just as Kahill Gibran has said, that ‘Beauty is a heart enflamed and a soul enchanted’. I can feel that how beauty really is, as we are all fleshly men, so we can’t distinguish whether a man is of nobleness or humbleness, but fleshly men, so we can’t distinguish whether a man is of nobleness or humbleness, but as there are great differences in our souls, and from that, we can know that whether a man is noble or ordinary, and even obscure, that is, whether he is beautiful or not.
Her story makes us thinking about life and we learn much from her experience,
at least, that is a fresh new recognition of the real beauty。
