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.
Miss Miller
Teacher for the youngest students at Lowood who greets Jane on her first night at the school

Jane Eyre — A Beautiful Soul
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.

简爱-一个美丽的灵魂
简爱，是一个贫穷但有抱负，身体小，但在灵魂，晦涩，而自尊的女孩，巨大的。之后，我们关闭了书的封面后，有精神，简爱，一个了不起的数字，漫长的旅途中，已经离开了我们这么多的回顾和思考：
我们还记得她的长处：有人谁失去了武器和眼睛失明的人谁瞧不起她，她的平凡，甚至有人把她深深谁在过去的伤害。
我们还记得她的正义追求。它像一个善良与伴侣。即便如此，一个善良的人应该促进一方的善良和必须检查的另一边badness。
我们还记得她的自我尊重和平等明确的情况。她认为，每个人都在神的脚一样。虽然有不同的地位，财产以及在外观，但所有的人都是平等的人格。
我们还记得她对生命的奋斗，她的韧性和她的信心...
当我们认为这个女孩，她给我们的不是一个漂亮的脸蛋或超越的气质，令我们深感钦佩，但对她个性的巨大魅力。
其实，她不漂亮，当然，普通的外观并没有让别人觉得她的好，甚至连她的姑姑感到厌恶它。还有一些人甚至认为她很容易被瞧不起和梳理下来，所以当英格拉姆小姐会见了简爱，她似乎相当不屑，因为她更漂亮，显然比'平原和丑陋女教师'。但由于小姆曾说过：'你想，因为我差，模糊，平原和小，我没有灵魂和良心？你想错了！'这是在简爱的精神平等的观念。上帝没有给她的美貌和财富，而是，上帝给了她一种博大的胸怀和大脑思维。她的想法平等和自尊给人的印象那么多，让我们感受到她的身体内的权力。
在我看来，虽然一个人的面部美容可以使别人一旦觉得有是有吸引力的迷人，如果他或她的心是不一样的美，如美丽的外观，不能持续，当别人发现美曾征服了大家只是一个虚假的，这不是真的，他们将像人而已。长期以来，只有一个人最大的优点，一个高尚的灵魂，一个美丽的心可以作为永恒的美容要求，正如Kahill纪伯伦所说，'美是想象激怒的心脏和灵魂迷惑'。我感觉到真的是如何美丽，因为我们都是肉欲男人，所以我们不能辨别一个人的高贵或谦逊的，但肉欲男人，所以我们不能区分一个人是否高贵或谦逊的是，但是，还有在我们的灵魂的巨大差异，以及，我们可以知道一个人是否高尚或普通，甚至模糊，也就是说，他是否美丽与否。
她的故事使我们思考我们的生活和学习她的经验，更至少，这是一个新的真正的美新的认识。

It is mainly about an orphan girl, Jane Eyre, who was adopted at her uncle's home when she was a child. Her uncle hated her very much. After her uncle died, she sent her as a minor child to a church school, where she was born and died. A few years later, at about eighteen, she left the purgatory school and went to a manor as a governess. So I fell in love with Mr. Rochester, the man who owned the manor. And just as they were getting married, when they learned that the man had a wife or a madman, they were confined in the castle where she lived every day. So she left sadly and was saved by three brothers and sisters.
She became a teacher in a humble temporary school anonymously, but the eldest brother of the three brothers and sisters discovered her secret. They were cousins and sisters, and they got a large legacy of a deceased loved one. Returning to his family, Jane Eyre, who had wealth, missed Mr. Rochester and quietly returned to the manor, only to find that Mr. Rochester was injured and blind, and the castle was ruined by his mad wife's act of setting fire to the house. So Jane Eyre returned to Mr. Rochester, who was single and had no bondage, and they began a happy life.

Bingley, the new neighbor, was a rich bachelor, and he was immediately the target of Mrs. Bennet's hunt. At a ball, Bingley fell in love with Jane, the eldest daughter of the Bennet family, and Mrs. Bennet was ecstatic.
Bingley's good friend Darcy was also at the ball. He was handsome and very rich, and many girls gave him envious glances; but he was very proud that they were not worthy of being his dance partners, including Jane's sister Elizabeth. Elizabeth was so proud that she decided to ignore the arrogant fellow. But before long, Darcy became fond of her lively and lovely manner, and offered to dance with her at another dance.

And Darcy, who was despised by Elizabeth, despised the vulgarity of Mrs. Bennet and her little daughter, Lydia. At the persuasion of his sister and good friend Darcy, Bingley left without saying goodbye and went to London, but Jane was still deeply in love with him.
小乡绅班纳特有五个待字闺中的千金，班纳特太太整天操心着为女儿物色称心如意的丈夫。
新来的邻居彬格莱是个有钱的单身汉，他立即成了班纳特太太追猎的目标。在一次舞会上，彬格莱对班纳特家的大女儿吉英一见钟情，班纳特太太为此欣喜若狂。
参加舞会的还有彬格莱的好友达西。他仪表堂堂，非常富有，许多姑娘纷纷向他投去羡慕的目光；但他非常骄傲，认为她们都不配做他的舞伴，其中包括吉英的妹妹伊丽莎白。伊丽莎白自尊心很强，决定不去理睬这个傲慢的家伙。可是不久，达西对她活泼可爱的举止产生了好感，在另一次舞会上主动请她同舞,伊丽莎白不经意间答应了达西，但对达西还是有很深的偏见，所以两人还是不欢而散．
彬格莱的妹妹一心追求达西，她发现达西有意于伊丽莎白，妒火中烧，决意从中阻挠。而遭到伊丽莎白冷遇的达西也鄙视班纳特太太及其小女儿丽底亚的粗俗。在妹妹和好友达西的劝说下，彬格莱不辞而别，去了伦敦，但吉英对他还是一片深情。
《傲慢与偏见》是英国女小说家简·奥斯汀的创作的长篇小说。
小说描写了小乡绅班纳特五个待字闺中的千金，主角是二女儿伊丽莎白。她在舞会上认识了达西，但是耳闻他为人傲慢，一直对他心生排斥，经历一番周折，伊丽莎白解除了对达西的偏见，达西也放下傲慢，有情人终成眷属。
这部作品以日常生活为素材，一反当时社会上流行的感伤小说的内容和矫揉造作的写作方法，生动地反映了18世纪末到19世纪初处于保守和闭塞状态下的英国乡镇生活和世态人情。并多次被改编成电影和电视剧。

简爱主要内容中文介绍
讲述一位从小变成孤儿的英国女子在各种磨难中不断追求自由与尊严，坚持自我，最终获得幸福的故事。小说引人入胜地展示了男女主人公曲折起伏的爱情经历，歌颂了摆脱一切旧哪返瞎习俗和偏见，成功塑造了一个敢于反抗，敢于争取自由和平等地位的妇女形象。
简爱点评赏析
《简·爱》创作于英国谢菲尔德，是一部带有自传色彩的长篇小说，它阐释了这样一个主题：人的价值=尊严+爱。《简·爱》中的简爱人生追求有两个基本旋律：富有 *** 、幻想、反抗和坚持不懈的精神;对人间自由幸福的渴望和对更高精神境界的追求。这本小说的主题是通过对孤女坎坷不平的人生经历，成功地塑造了一个不安于现状、不甘受辱、敢李空于抗争的女性形象，反映一个平凡心灵的坦诚倾诉的呼号和责难，一个小写的人成为一个大写的人的渴望。
《简·爱》是部脍炙人口的作品、毋庸置疑的名着。英国十九世纪着名的女作家夏洛蒂·勃朗特的代表作，当时人们普遍认为《简·爱》是夏洛蒂·勃朗特“诗意的生平”的写照，是一部具有自传色彩的作品。一个有尊严和寻求平等的简·爱，这个看似柔弱而内心极具刚强韧性的女子也因为这部作品而成为无数女性心中的典范。
小说设计了一个很光明的结尾--虽然罗切斯特的庄园毁了，罗切斯特自己也成了一个残疾人，但我们看到，正是这样一个条件，使简·爱不再在尊严与爱之间矛盾，而同时获得满足--她在和罗切斯特结婚的时候是有尊严的，当然也是有爱情的。
这本小说告诉我们，人的最美好的生活是人的尊严加爱，小说的结局给女主人公安排的就是这样一种生活。虽然我们觉得这样的结局过于完美，甚至这种圆满本身标志着肤浅，但是我依然尊重作者对这种美好生活的理想--就是尊严加爱，毕竟在当今社会，要将人的价值=尊严+爱这道公式付之实现常常离不开金钱的帮助。人们都疯狂到似乎为了金钱和地位而埋没爱情。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化繁为简，是一种返璞归真，是一种追求全心付出的感觉，是一种不计得失的简化的感情，它犹如一杯冰水，净化每一个读者的心灵，被认为是人生追求的二重奏。
她的生活遭遇令人同情，但她那倔强的性格和勇于追求平等幸福的精神更为人们所赞赏。
在里德太太家，10岁的简面对舅母、表兄妹的歧视和虐待，已经表现出强烈的反抗精神。当她的表兄殴打她时，她勇于回击;当舅母嚷着叫自己的孩子远离她时，她高喊“他们不配和我在一起”;当她被囚禁在空房中时，想到自己所受到的虐待，从内心发出了“不公正”的呐喊。在孤儿院，简的反抗性格更为鲜明，这和她的朋友海伦·彭斯忍耐顺从的性格形成了明显的对比。海伦·彭斯虽遭迫害却信奉“爱你的仇人”，在宗教的麻痹下没有仇恨，只有逆来顺受。而简对冷酷的校长和摧残她们的教师深恶痛绝。她对海伦说：“假如她用那根条子打我，我要从她手里把它夺过来，世碧并且当面折断它。”充分表露了她不甘屈辱和不向命运妥协的倔强性格。
小说主要描写了简·爱与罗切斯特的爱情。简·爱的爱情观更加深化了她的个性。她认为爱情应该建立在精神平等的基础上，而不应取决于社会地位、财富和外貌，只有男女双方彼此真正相爱，才能得到真正的幸福。在追求个人幸福时，简·爱表现出异乎寻常的纯真、朴实的思想感情和一往无前的勇气。她并没有因为自己的仆人地位而放弃对幸福的追求，她的爱情是纯洁高尚的，她对罗切斯特的财富不屑一顾，她之所以钟情于他，就是因为他能平等待人，把她视作朋友，与她坦诚相见。对罗切斯特说来，简·爱犹如一股清新的风，使他精神为之一振。罗切斯特过去看惯了上层社会的冷酷虚伪，简·爱的纯朴、善良和独立的个性重新唤起他对生活的追求和向往。因而他能真诚地在简面前表达他善良的愿望和改过的决心。
简·爱同情罗切斯特的不幸命运，认为他的错误是客观环境造成的。尽管他其貌不扬，后来又破产成了残废，但她看到的是他内心的美和令人同情的不幸命运，所以最终与他结婚。小说通过罗切斯特两次截然不同的爱情经历，批判了以金钱为基础的婚姻和爱情观，并始终把简·爱和罗切斯特之间的爱情描写为思想、才能、品质与精神上的完全默契。
简·爱是个不甘忍受社会压迫、勇于追求个人幸福的女性。无论是她的贫困低下的社会地位，或是她那漂泊无依的生活遭遇，都是当时英国下层人民生活的真实写照。作者能够把一个来自社会下层的觉醒中的新女性摆到小说的主人公地位，并对主人公为反抗压迫和社会偏见、力争取独立的人格和尊严、为追求幸福生活所作的顽强斗争加以热情歌颂，这在当时的文学作品中是难能可贵的。
《简·爱》是一部具有浓厚浪漫主义色彩的现实主义小说。整部作品以自叙形式写成。大量运用心理描写是小说的一大特色。全书构思精巧，情节波澜起伏，给读者制造出一种阴森恐怖的气氛，而又不脱离一个中产阶级家庭的背景。作者还以行情的笔法描写了主人公之间的真挚爱情和自然风景，感 *** 彩丰富而强烈。这部优美、动人并带有神秘色彩的小说，至今仍保持着它独特的艺术魅力。 的人

⑧ 《简爱》的英文简介
Nineteenth Century England was characterized by unique moral, political, and social beliefs. In turn, such beliefs shaped how indivials viewed such things as marriage and class divisions. Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre can be seen as a snapshot in history, a social commentary which subtly reveals a distaste for traditional Victorian beliefs. The novel follows the life of Jane Eyre from childhood through adolescence and althood. She is portrayed as a female heroine who oversteps the gender and class barriers of her time to pursue and secure her own happiness.

创作背景
作者创作《简·爱》时的英国已是世界上的头号工业大国，但英国妇女的地位并没有改变，依然处于从属、依附的地位，女子的生存目标就是要嫁入豪门，即便不能生在富贵人家，也要努力通过婚姻获得财富和地位，女性职业的惟一选择是当个好妻子、好母亲。
以作家为职业的女性会被认为是违背了正当女性气质，会受到男性的激烈攻击，从夏洛蒂姐妹的作品当初都假托男性化的笔名一事，可以想见当时的女性作家面临着怎样的困境。而《简·爱》就是在这一被动的背景下写成的。
艺术特色
大量运用心理描写是这本小说的一大特色。全书构思精巧，情节波澜起伏，给读者制造出一种阴森恐怖的气氛，而又不脱离一个中产阶级家庭的背景。
作者还以行情的笔法描写了主人公之间的真挚爱情和自然风景，感情色彩丰富而强烈。在风景描绘上，作者以画家的审美角度去鉴赏，以画家的情趣去把握光和影的和谐。色彩斑斓的景物细致生动，用词精确。
