38、nuously and fearlessly struggling for her ideal life. The story can be interpreted as a symbol of the independent spirit. It seems to me that many readers English reading experience starts with Jane Eyer. I am of no exception. As we refer to the movie “Jane Eyer”, it is not surprising to find some d
39、ifferences because of its being filmized and retold in a new way, but the spirit of the novel remains-to be an independent person, both physically and mentally. Jane Eyer was a born resister, whose parents went off when she was very young, and her aunt，the only relative she had，treated her as badly
40、as a ragtag. Since Janes education in Lowwood Orphanage began, she didnt get what she had been expectingsimply being regarded as a common person, just the same as any other girl around. The suffers from being humiliated and devastated teach Jane to be persevering and prize dignity over anything else
41、.As a reward of revolting the ruthless oppression, Jane got a chance to be a tutor in Thornfield Garden. There she made the acquaintance of lovely Adele and that gardens owner, Rochester, a man with warm heart despite a cold face outside. Jane expected to change the life from then on, but fate had d
42、ecided otherwise: After Jane and Rochester fell in love with each other and got down to get marry, she unfortunately came to know in fact Rochester had got a legal wife, who seemed to be the shadow following Rochester and led to his moodiness all the time -Rochester was also a despairing person in n
43、eed of salvation. Jane did want to give him a hand, however, she made up her mind to leave, because she didnt want to betray her own principles, because she was Jane Eyer. The film has finally got a symbolist end: Jane inherited a large number of legacies and finally returned. After finding Rocheste
44、rs misfortune brought by his original mad wife, Jane chose to stay with him forever. I dont know what others feel, but frankly speaking, I would rather regard the section that Jane began her teaching job in Thornfield as the films end-especially when I heard Janes words “Never in my life have I been
45、 awaken so happily.” For one thing, this ideal and brand-new beginning of life was what Jane had been imagining for long as a suffering person; for another, this should be what the audiences with my views hoped her to get. But the professional judgment of producing films reminded me to wait for a to
46、tally different result: There must be something wrong coming with the excellence-perhaps not only should another section be added to enrich the story, but also we may see from the next transition of Janes life that “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you would get.” (By Forrest Gu
47、mps mother, in the film “Forrest Gump”) Whats more, this film didnt end when Jane left Thornfield. For Jane Eyer herself, there should always be somewhere to realize her great ideal of being independent considering her fortitude, but for Rochester, how he can get salvation? The film gives the answer
48、 tentatively: Jane eventually got back to Rochester. In fact, when Jane met Rochester for the first time, she scared his horse and made his heel strained, to a certain extent, which meant Rochester would get 7retrieval because of Jane. We can consider Rochesters experiences as that of religion meani
49、ng. The fire by his frantic wife was the punishment for the cynicism early in his life. After it, Rochester got the mercy of the God and the love of the woman whom he loved. Here we can say: human nature and divinity get united perfectly in order to let such a story accord with the requirements of both two sides. The value of this film may be due to its efforts to explore a new way f
