An Analysis of Jane Eyre
The novel is rich in poetry, symbolism and metaphor. It does not fit easily into a definite pattern, being neither a novel of "manners" in the tradition of Austen, or a straightforward Gothic Romance in the style of Mrs Radcliffe. What Charlotte Bronte did was to create a work which cleverly blends elements of the two styles, and which remains uniquely independent of them at the same time, since it addresses issues which were at the time rather controversial.
The novel is written in the first person, and thus magnifies the central character - the reader enters the world of Jane Eyre and is transported through her experiences at first hand. This at once makes the work subjective, especially since we know that Charlottes Brontes own life and experiences were so closely interwoven with the heroine's. As well as this we learn only at the end of the novel that the events are being related to us ten years after the reconciliation with Rochester - thus the narrative is RETROSPECTIVE (looking back). CB is clever in blending the narrative so that at times Jane seems to be speaking as an adult with adult hindsight , while at others she she is "in the middle" of them, as a child or young woman. The indecision which is a central issue in the book, is heightened by this device. We never know, as readers, whether to be entirely trustful of Janes actions and thoughts, because we are never sure wheher she is speaking impulsively or maturely.
This intensifies the readers dilemma as to what is "right" and "wrong" in the dramatic relationships which are part of JE's life. Can we believe what the heroine says, or is she deceiving herself? The novel is primarily a love story and a "romance" where wishes come true but only after trials and suffering. The supernatural has its place, as do dreams, portents and prophesies. The heroine begins poor and lonely and ends up rich and loved; the orphan finds a good family to replace the wicked one; all the basic ingredients of classic romantic fairytale are present.
The romantic element is present in two forms in Jane Eyre; the "family" aspect is dealt with in the Gateshead, Lowood and Moor House episodes, which involve the exchanging of the wicked Reed family for the benevolent Rivers one; and the Love romance is dealt with in the Thornfield and Ferndean episodes. Both aspects are, of course linked and interwoven throughout the novel.
There is also a strong element of realism in the novel, which, married to the romantic aspect, enhances the novel's strength.The sense of place is very strong; we are able to experience both exterior and interior settings with startling clarity throughout the story, in a series of vivid deive passages. The central characters are also realistic and their confrontations and sufferings change them in a believable way.
Even the unlikely is made plausible, with a unique blend of high drama and perceptive low comedy (the attack on Mason, for instance)
The more fantastic romantic aspects; the coincidences; the secrets; the supernatural occurrences, are balanced by the realism, and this is of course a major strength.
The Gothic influence cannot be ignored, although CB has refined the technique considerably from the "authentic" Gothic of the 1790's. In the original genre, the heroine would typically be abducted and threatened with seduction, or worse!. There would be a lover - a respectable, well-bred young man - who would endeavor to rescue the heroine and would succeed after many trial. the seducer would be a brigand "Know that I adore Corsairs!" and he would lock the girl up in a remote castle.
There was little freedom for middle class women during the period of the Gothic novel, and this was still the case in the time of CB. Marriage especially was often a bargain, whereby fortunes were secured by using the female as a pawn. A woman's value largely depended therefore on her sexual purity and she was guarded and secured as a result. Men, on the contrary, were potent and free; lovers and mistresses were common. Ironically the women who provided their services were social outcasts as a result.
In Jane Eyre we see elements of the Gothic romance, in that Thornfield Hall and Rochester are described very much in the brigand/castle style BUT Jane Eyre is not abducted by R. On the contrary she chooses to go there of her own free will. AND she is clear in her determination to have Rochester as a husband. Neither is there a gentleman rescuer; St John Rivers may look like a Greek God, but he is neither kind nor benevolent; driving Jane back to Ferndean, not rescuing her from it.
The trials which the hero is supposed to undergo in a Gothic romance are in fact undergone by the heroine in Jane Eyre. The bandit Rochester is only skin-deep. Underneath the brooding exterior is a sensitive soul, which a WOMAN frees. In this way we see that CB created rather a daring departure from conventional fiction, although there are still many aspects of the novel which remain true to Victorian convention.!

Book review of [The piano]
我记得有本书叫钢琴之恋英文就是the piano

篇一：
今天，我读完了一本好书叫《钢琴小精灵》。
丹妮尔是一个活泼可爱的小女孩，她不喜欢弹钢琴。可爸爸妈妈还是给她买了一架钢琴，让她天天练习。在新买的钢琴里，丹妮尔发现了一个小精灵，叫克雷琛多。
克雷琛多不吃食物也不喝水，他以音乐为食，可丹妮尔很少弹琴，克雷琛多就变得越来越瘦。为了喂饱克雷琛多，丹妮尔每天坚持弹琴，慢慢的，丹妮尔发现弹琴并不像原来想象的那样可怕。她的钢琴水平也有了很大的提高。
有一天，丹妮尔的钢琴老师维克多先生来到她家给她上课，当维克多先生听完丹妮尔弹完两首曲子后，都快激动得要掉眼泪了：“不可思议，太完美了，真是奇迹，真是奇迹！”从此维克多先生就不再教丹妮尔弹琴了，因为他觉得凭丹妮尔现在的水平已经不需要他这个老师啦，而且维克多先生逢人便说丹妮尔的钢琴水平提高得如此之快是个奇迹，他整天都喃喃自语着“奇迹呀”。读到这，我只觉得好笑，维克多先生一定想象不到，丹妮尔只是每天弹几首曲子喂饱她的小精灵而已。可见，在不知不觉中，点点滴滴的积累也会给我们带来意想不到的收获。
其实，我们每个人的心里都有一个小精灵，他也许是钢琴精灵、也许是读书精灵、也许是画画精灵、也许是体操精灵……他会时不时地提醒我们：读读书吧、练练琴吧、锻炼锻炼身体吧……这个小精灵是守护我们实现自己理想的精灵，他不吃汉堡包和巧克力，他也不需要漂亮的衣服做装饰，他只需要我们每天花一点时间和精力去浇灌他，让他变得更强大，我们离自己的理想也就更近了一步。
亲爱的朋友们，不要再找借口冷落你的小精灵了，不要把你的小精灵饿得有气无力，每天花一点时间读读书，弹弹琴，画幅画……和守护你的精灵一起，向着梦想出发！
篇二：《钢琴小精灵》读后感
寒假期间我看了一本书，书名叫《钢琴小精灵》。
这本书讲的是，小女孩丹妮尔在自己的钢琴里发现了一位钢琴小精灵，名字叫克雷琛多，克雷琛多以音乐为食。他因为贪玩跑到丹妮尔的钢琴里，和他的家人分开了。丹妮尔和弟弟卡斯帕知道后，每天都帮助克雷琛多找他的家人，有时去钢琴店找，有时去……。终于，他们在一个富人的钢琴了找到了克雷琛多的家人，克雷琛多终于和家人团聚了。
读了这本书，让我认识到做什么事都不要放弃的道理。如果当初丹妮尔和卡斯帕放弃帮助克雷琛多找他的家人，那么钢琴小精灵克雷琛多能见到他的家人吗？这篇文章还让我明白乐于助人的道理，如果丹妮尔和卡斯帕得知克雷琛多离开了家人，他们却不帮克雷琛多找他的家，那么克雷琛多就也见不到他的家人了。
这本书真好看，让我明白了许多道理，结局真让人开心呀！
