读后感英文范文篇1
after a term’s reading, i finished ten more books, however, what impressed me most is jane austen and her two classical books.
in china maybe we all know liqingzhao, a great female poet whose poetry are full of the emotions from the bottom of her heart. however, in england the figure maybe is my most admirable authoress miss austen who can never have too many respects from the common people just like me. after read her two masterpieces of books pride and prejudice and sense and sensibility, i feel so proud of being female to see a world-famous authoress using her independent thoughts, humor words to show us the relationship between the so-called superiors and the lower-class.
at that time, neither in the east nor in the west, it is not so easy for a woman to become a great figure with literary reputation. in china li made it, while in england miss austen with her unique characteristic also realized her dream after a long struggle with the temporal points. it seems that all in jane’s life, she made a decision between sense and sensibility; once there was an old saying “affection is desirable, money is absolutely indispensable.” she resolutely chose her true love but not a splendid life or a comfortable home, what a pity she can not marry the one she did not really love even a beloved one, in her short life, she finished six famous books with her heart and soul but never married and stayed single for ever.
when reading pride and prejudice, i wondered why the oldest sister in the bennet family also was named jane, is there any possibility jane bennet is the soul of miss austen; and miss austen expected to realize all the pity which can not come true in her real life, so jane bennet was pictured as prefect as possible to be the best of the five sisters.
it’s a classical book with abundant description of everyone’s inner heart, especially the changes in their hearts. it can never deserve too many analyses for it was so wonderfully worked. one can say anything but ordinary to show our respects and admiration.
the man said“i do not have that talent of conversing easily with people i have never met before.” the woman said“we all don’t know him.” the book is full of the man’s pride and the woman’s prejudice in its lines and words.
from his pride we can see his confidence and persistence; whereas from his pride we can’t see his kindness and gentleness which he hid behind the surface.
from her prejudice we can see her firmness and treason; whereas from her prejudice we can’t see her expectation and worries which she hid behind the surface.
so it gave us a beginning of the story of pride and prejudice and led us to miss austen’s emotion world. so wonderful a book, so classical a story, so prefect a happy ending made it never a problem whether his pride or her prejudice counted, because of love, all can be neglected.
in the book once the proud mr dracy talked about the traits an accomplished woman must have, it needed a thorough knowledge of music, singing, dancing, drawing and modern languages, and besides this, a certain something in her manner of walking, in her voice and her behaviour. what’s more, something more solid, the improvement of her mind by wide reading. it could never be too strict for a common woman to follow.
about the attitudes to the marriage, charles dickens in the oliver twist also showed us the opinions of that day, he said if a man has ambitions to enter politics, then he marries a woman with a stain on her name, over though it’s not her fault, it might spoil his chances of success in his life. ()the society is cruel, people might use the knowledge of his wife’s doubtful birth against him, and against his children, too. and one day, he might begin to regret his marriage.
but love is so great that nothing can conquer it, and in the pride and prejudice we see the type of classical love, if we say in the realization we are so sorry to see the over more interest lead us to forget what love is, what a pity when love is not so pure as it should be, what a pity when love is used as a medium of exchange.
to my happiness the books inflected miss austen’s marriage view, it is wrong to get married for property, money and states. she objects to getting married for money and regarding the marriage as a trifling matter. she also points that the man and the woman’s emotion is the foundation of an ideal marriage.
after reading it, i feel that i just want to turn elizabeth who is ordinary but with special beauty, brave but with a little stubborn, though she is not a prefect woman our eyes, she does be a woman with prefect disadvantages. to the hero mr dracy, i feel that i just want to marry a gentleman like mr dracy who always puts his love deep in his heart, till the day he made sure that elizabeth was the one he wanted to spend the rest time of the live. under the handsome and gentle; proud and serious face, there was a kind heart full of love.
pride is just like a piece of beautiful clothes which is luxurious and untouchable. however, the expense of pride is loneliness. prejudice is just like the clouds floating in the sky with its freedom. however, the expense of prejudice is lost.
what i learnt from the books and jane austen is deeply printed in my mind and i should never forget elizabeth and mr dracy’s prefect love story, they usefully influenced each other. his mind might have been softened and his manners improved by her sociability, and she might have learnt from his greater judgment and knowledge of the world. just like a fairy tale, the price and princess have a happy live together, which i am looking forward.

film review of pride and prejudice
pride and prejudice is a famous classic written by jane austen. i was attracted by the characters and plots of the film adapted from the novel.
elizabeth is the heroine of the story. when she meets darcy, a handsome, rich but arrogant man, on the party for the first time, she is dissatisfied with the proud manner of darcy. darcy looks down on those who are in a lower social class,
including elizabeth. however, after getting to know the courage, independence and confidence of elizabeth, he almost falls in love with her. but elizabeth believes the lies of wickham which causes her great prejudice to darcy. she rejects darcy’s propose marriage to protect her self-respect. finally, darcy goes away because he couldn’t tolerate elizabeth’s sisters’ vulgar manners. he writes a long letter to explain his thoughts and love to elizabeth. after reading it, elizabeth feels guilty about
misjudging darcy and regrets turning him down. as time goes away, darcy gradually improves his pride and keeps helping elizabeth’s family out from troubles. at last, elizabeth removes the prejudice to darcy and accepts his propose marriage.
from the film i learn that we can’t judge a man immediately by the first impression. if we are controlled by our subjective senses, it will easy cause prejudice and
misunderstanding and probably influent the developments of many events. to avoid this situation, we need more communication to understand others deeply by ourselves.

oliver twist, one of the most famous works of charles dickens’, is a novel reflecting the tragic fact of the life in britain in 18th century. the author who himself was born in a poor family wrote this novel in his twenties with a view to reveal the ugly masks of those cruel criminals and to expose the horror and violence hidden underneath the narrow and dirty streets in london. the hero of this novel was oliver twist, an orphan, who was thrown into a world full of poverty and crime. he suffered enormous pain, such as hunger, thirst, beating and abuse. while reading the tragic experiences of the little oliver, i was shocked by his sufferings.
i felt for the poor boy, but at the same time i detested the evil fagin and the brutal bill. to my relief, as was written in all the best stories, the goodness eventually conquered devil and oliver lived a happy life in the end. one of the plots that attracted me most is that after the theft, little oliver was allowed to recover in the kind care of mrs. maylie and rose and began a new life. he went for walks with them, or rose read to him, and he worked hard at his lessons. he felt as if he had left behind forever the world of crime and hardship and poverty. how can such a little boy who had already suffered oppressive affliction remain pure in body and mind the reason is the nature of goodness. i think it is the most important information implied in the novel by dickens-he believed that goodness could conquer every difficulty. although i don’t think goodness is omnipotent, yet i do believe that those who are kind-hearted live more happily than those who are evil-minded. for me, the nature of goodness is one of the most necessary character for a person. goodness is to humans what water is to fish. he who is without goodness is an utterly worthless person.
on the contrary, as the famous saying goes, ‘the fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose’, he who is with goodness undoubtedly is a happy and useful person. people receiving his help are grateful to him and he also gets gratified from what he has done, and thus he can do good to both the people he has helped and himself. to my disappointment, nowadays some people seem to doubt the existence of the goodness in humanity. they look down on people’s honesty and kindness, thinking it foolish of people to be warm-hearted. as a result, they show no sympathy to those who are in trouble and seldom offer to help others. on the other hand, they attach importance to money and benefit. in their opinion, money is the only real object while emotions and morality are nihility. if they cannot get profit from showing their ‘kindness’, they draw back when others are faced with trouble and even hit a man when he is down. they are one of the sorts that i really detest. francis bacon said in his essay, ‘goodness, of all virtues and dignities of the mind, is the greatest, being the character of the deity, and without it, man is a busy, mischievous, wretched thing, no better than a kind of vermin.’
that is to say a person without goodness is destined to lose everything. therefore, i, a kind person, want to tell those ‘vermin-to-be’ to learn from the kind oliver and regain the nature of goodness.

jane eyre was published in 1847 under the androgynous pseudonym of “currer bell.” the publication was followed by widespread success. utilizing two literary traditions, the bildungsroman and the gothic novel, jane eyre is a powerful narrative with profound themes concerning genders, family, passion, and identity. it is unambiguously one of the most celebrated novels in british literature.
born in 1816, charlotte bronte was the third daughter of patrick bronte, an ambitious and intelligent clergyman. according to newsman, all the bronte children were unusually precocious and almost ferociously intelligent, and their informal and unorthodox educations under their fathers tutelage nurtured these traits. patrick bronte shared his interests in literature with his children, toward whom he behaved as though they were his intellectual equals. the bronte children read voraciously. charlottes imagination was especially fired by the poetry of byron, whose brooding heroes served as the prototypes for characters in the brontes juvenile writings as well as for such figures as mr. rochester in jane eyre (2). brontes formal education was limited and sporadic – ten months at the age of 8 at cowan bridge clergy daughters school (the model for lowood institution in jane eyre), eighteen months from the age of 14 at roe head school of miss margaret wooler (the model for ms. temple) (nestor 3-4). according to newman, bronte then worked as a teacher at roe head for three years before going to work as a governess. seeking an alternative way of earning money, charlotte bronte went to brussels in 1842 to study french and german at the pensionnat heger, preparing herself to open a school at the parsonage. she seems to have fallen in love with her charismatic teacher, constantin heger. the experience seems on a probable source for a recurrent feature in brontes fiction: “relationships in which the inflammatory spark of intellectual energy ignites an erotic attraction between a woman and a more socially powerful man” (newman 6). the brontes efforts to establish a school at the parsonage never got off the ground. still seeking ways to make money, charlotte published, with her sisters, the unsuccessful poems by currer, ellis, and acton bell. her first effort to publish a novel, the professor, was also unsuccessful. jane eyre, published in october 1847, however, was met with great enthusiasm and became one of the best sellers. as “currer bell” bronte completed two more novels, shirley and villette. she married reverend william bell nicholls in 1854 and died nine months later, at the age of thirty-nine in 1855 (nestor 4-5).
the story of jane eyre takes place in northern england in the early to mid-19th century. (“jane eyre” 151) it starts as the ten-year-old jane, a plain but unyielding child, is excluded by her aunt reed from the domestic circle around the hearth and bullied by her handsome but unpleasant cousins. under the suggestion of mr. lloyd, an apothecary that sympathizes jane, mrs. reed sends jane to lowood institution operated by a hypocritical evangelicalist, mr. brocklehurst, who chastises jane in front of the class and calls her a liar. at lowood, jane befriends with helen burns, who helps the newly arrived jane adjust to the austere environment; she is also taken under the wing of the superintendent, miss temple. one spring, many students catch typhus due to the harsh condition. helen dies of consumption. at the end of her studies jane is retained as a teacher. when jane grows weary of her life at lowood, she advertises for a position as governess and is engaged by mrs. fairfax, housekeeper at thronfield, for a little girl, adele varens. after much waiting, jane meets her employer, edward rochester, somber, moody, quick to change in his manner, and brusque in his speech. mysterious happenings occur at thronfield, including demonic laugh emanating from the third-story attic and a fire set in rochesters bedroom one night. rochester attributes all the oddities to grace poole, the seamstress. meanwhile, jane develops an attraction for rochester. rochester, however, often flirts with the idea of marrying miss ingram. an old acquaintance of rochesters, richard mason, visits thornfield and is severely injured from an attack apparently from grace. jane returns to gateshead for a while to see the dying mrs. reed. when she returns to thornfield, rochester asks jane to marry him. jane accepts, but during the wedding, mason and a solicitor interrupt the ceremony by revealing that rochester is keeping his lunatic wife, bertha mason, in the attic in thornfield. despite rochesters confession, jane leaves thornfield. she arrives at the desolate crossroads of whitcross and runs into the rivers siblings, who tend her in moor house. jane happily accepts the offer of teaching at st. johns school.

bertha mason is the insane wife of rochester. in precise contrast to the angelic helen, bertha is big, as big as rochester, corpulent, florid, and violent. much of bertha’s dehumanization, rochester’s account makes clear, is the result of her confinement, not its cause. after ten years of imprisonment, bertha has become a caged beast (showalter 73). as bronfen states, where helen ‘fed’ off her dead ancestors, bertha feeds off the living, bites and draws blood from her brother, repeatedly threatens the life of her husband, and embodies a return of what they would like to repress (200). bertha can be seen as jane’s darkest double, as her ferocious secret self, who appears whenever an experience of anger or fear arises on jane’s part that must again be repressed (jane eyre 167).acting for and like jane, she enacts the violence jane would like to but can’t express, especially in respect to marriage. she also articulates jane’s fears and desires about her own mortality (bronfen 200).
there are multiple themes in jane eyre. one of the main themes is the need for love contrasting with the need for independence. as a bildungsroman, jane eyre is the story of jane’s striving for independence, struggling with passion, and finally growing into maturity. as the story starts, gateshead is the place in which the passions of childhood are given free rein (lamonica 70). in lowood, although jane is no longer dependent on the reed family, her passion is restricted by the severe rules. in thronfield, however, an excess of passion between jane and rochester ultimately causes her to run from thornfield hall with no plans for the future, ending up starving and delirious on the doorsteps of the rivers family at marsh end (teachman online). marsh end, like lowood, is a place where restraint of passion is a way of life. while she cares deeply for st. john, who asks her to marry him, jane knows that she would never be able to love him with the kind of passion she feels for rochester. as teachman states, jane is a woman who, having once known true passion, cannot settle for anything less in marriage (online). in ferndean, the final location of the novel, passions have been moderated to some degree by both time and experience. burn have rendered rochester dependent on others for his daily care. jane thus finds him changed from a vital and sometimes threateningly passionate man into a man tamed by both emotional and physical trauma (teachman online). jane, on the other hand, had found loving cousins. she has also inherited her uncle"s fortune, making her an independent woman with no need of the financial support. as a result of this increased level of independence, she is able to regulate her passions, indulging them when she feels it appropriate and choosing not to act on them at other times. this final section of the novel reveals the integration of essential parts of jane"s personality and education into a b adult woman, who also at this time becomes a mother and a true partner to her husband (teachman online).
读后感英文范文篇6
活着,承载了多少意义、情感和力量呢?是进行时,是生命的持续状态,是灵魂的永恒追寻。
看完《活着》,想说说关于"活着",这样广大却沉重的话题,似乎每一个语句都显得苍白,每一声叹息都显得无力;然而,活着,是进行时,是你我此刻正在经历的状态,无从逃避,直至那一天,你我在神的审判台前,而从那一天起,我们将活在永恒的国度里。而活着和永恒,有人只看到了一部分,于是没有永恒的方向,迷茫地活着。
当我们听着故事的叙述者——福贵将自己的经历娓娓道来,感觉着他活着的状态一点点变化:年少无知时,萎靡地活着,无视妻子的艰辛,无视父母的关切,无视现实的责任;风云突变后,挣扎地活着,战场上经历生存的残酷抗争,生活中面临活着的底线挑战,情感上体会为父为夫角色的重担;看尽生死后,麻木而乐观地活着,无牵无挂,无泪无述,也无欲无求。"少年去游荡,中年想掘藏,老年做和尚。"我们会默然发现,活着是一种状态,仅仅一个词,悲惨抑或苦难、凄凉、无奈,无法展现它的全貌,可是哪怕是其中一方面我们都无法深入触及。小说以时间为主线,讲述了福贵如何从游混于社会的阔少爷变成一无所有的佃农,如何从刚开始无所事事的"败家子"到最后持家生活的"顶梁柱",如何从刚开始的淡漠亲情到后来饱尝白发人送黑发人的苦痛。
作为一个冷酷的作者,余华不动声色地让我们跟随他的冰冷笔调,目睹少爷福贵的荒诞、破产和艰难;继而又假惺惺地给我们一点点美好的希望,让有庆得到长跑第一名,让凤霞嫁了人怀了孩子,让某些时刻有了温情脉脉,有了简陋的欢乐。然而就在我们以为噩梦不再萦绕他们的时候,余华丝毫没有犹疑,他铁青着脸让自己的角色们迅速以各种方式死去,毫无征兆,近乎残忍,只留下我们错愕当场。
有庆是第一个突然死去的。"有庆不会在这条路上跑来了。"他的母亲说。大多数人应该在这个时候心痛不已。贫苦艰难的生活,福贵简单而粗暴的教育方式,都不曾让有庆对生活丧失希望。他热爱他的两只小羊,为了割草和上学每天来回奔命。所以当他在父亲眼前拿了长跑第一名的时候,我们都天真地以为悲剧该结束了,事情在慢慢好起来,于是有了一点淡淡的喜乐。
"我看着那条弯曲着通向城里的小路,听不到我儿子赤脚跑来的声音,月光照在路上,像是撒满了盐。"
一切就像一个巨大的诅咒。女儿,妻子,女婿,外孙,最后福贵只剩下自己。和一头也叫做福贵的老牛。
因为远离那些动荡的年月,因为并未真正有过艰难和困顿,这个故事让年青的我们不禁有些战栗。薄薄的十二万字,笼罩着"欲哭无泪的压抑"。只是阖上书本之时,内心似乎多了一些超越世俗欲望和纷争的平静。现实生活的无情与残忍,远比我们想象的要宽广;而活着,纵使要担当诸多难以承纳的苦痛,但是依然要坚忍,顽强。这应当便是生命的力量罢。
