After reading this book a few years ago, my understanding of Jane Eyre is the same as everyone else's. I think she is a woman who is "calm, serene, reserved and simple". She is outspoken, not afraid of the powerful, sincere and brave to her friends, and to harm. Even her aunt can be generous. The author Charlotte Bronte herself is an independent woman who pursues women's freedom and equality and the rationality of the right to education. The heroine Jane Eyre she created has her own growth shadow in many aspects. In the 20th century Britain, she appeared to be independent, strong, self-respecting and self-loving, and was the representative of a new type of women who fought for freedom and equality.
Leaving the constraints of the times, this character creation is very successful. However, works can be higher than life, but they are destined to be unable to escape the limitations of a specific social environment. As for the love between Jane and Mr. Rochester, the two of them had the courage to get rid of the eyes of others and the prejudice of the past, and entered the palace of marriage, which was actually a great progress in that era. However, in the depths of the author's heart, such a "wrong door" love may also feel unreasonable to continue. Therefore, their wedding was interrupted and the two had to separate. It was only when Mr. Rochester's manor was burned and mutilated, and at the same time that Jane received a large inheritance, the two were invisibly brought closer together. After the author properly pulls down Mr. Rochester and properly lifts Jane up, the two can finally be married.
In my opinion, perhaps this kind of "match-making" love is not specific to a certain country or era, but a law that develops from social history and naturally arises in human society. I don't believe that no one has ever tried to pursue a love that is not in the right family, but maybe it all ended in vain, which also virtually confirms the rationality of the concept of love as "a perfect match". Take love in contemporary society as an example, you may fall in love with a person because of his character, appearance, etc., but you must live on the basis of his three views, habits, and how he treats people. Some people joked that "how to fall in love with different vocabulary", which is also the concrete manifestation of such a concept of love. We pursue free love and equal love, but this cannot erase the fact that the two are too different. For example, when a highly educated person falls in love with a low educated person, it is not a matter of discriminating against academic qualifications, but differences in abilities, ways of doing things, and concepts hidden behind academic qualifications, which will affect our daily life and choices, thus affecting the two personal relationship.
I've seen a story before, a girl and a boy were together in high school and had a good relationship. After the college entrance examination, the girl left the province, while the boy remained in the town. Later, girls study abroad and travel around the world, while boys have been in small towns. When the girl came back, she said to him, "Let's break up, it's not that we don't love, but you can't understand me on many topics. I have traveled almost halfway around the world, but you have never taken a step." In addition, there are women and children The well-known Cinderella story, she wouldn't even meet the prince without the fairy godmother who made her dress gorgeously and beautifully.
All of what I have said is not to defend the feudal unequal idea of men and women, nor to imply that unequal love will not have good results, but to try to think about the reality of contemporary love from a dialectical angle, not to deny other views.
