《简爱》英文读后感1
This is a story about a special and unreserved woman who has been exposed to a hostile environment but continuously 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 differences 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 as a ragtag.
Since Jane’s education in Lowwood Orphanage began, she didn’t get what she had been expecting——simply 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.
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 garden’s owner, Rochester, a man with warm heart despite a cold face outside.
Jane expected to change the life from then on, but fate had decided 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 need of salvation.
Jane did want to give him a hand, however, she made up her mind to leave, because she didn’t 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 Rochester’s misfortune brought by his original mad wife, Jane chose to stay with him forever.
I don’t know what others feel, but frankly speaking, I would rather regard the section that Jane began her teaching job in Thornfield as the film’s end----especially when I heard Jane’s words “Never in my life have I been 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 totally 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 Jane’s life that “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you would get.
” (By Forrest Gump’s mother, in the film “Forrest Gump”)
What’s more, this film didn’t 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 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 retrieval because of Jane.
We can consider Rochester’s experiences as that of religion meaning.
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 for the development of humanism under the faith of religion.

There is a teacher Miss Tan wave has broken some rules, let the students have a better day. The misfortune of Janes love makes me feel that life is so beautiful that we should cherish the present life. You cant be strong when you meet a setback.

Life is ceaselessly changing, but our living principles remain. Firmly persisting for the rights of being independent gives us enough confidence and courage, which is like the beacon over the capriccioso sea of life. In the world of the film, we have found the stories of ourselves, which makes us so concerned about the fate of the dramatis personae.
In this era of rapid social and technological change leading to increasing life complexity and psychological displacement, both physical and mental effects on us call for a balance. We are likely to find ourselves bogged down in the Sargasso Sea of information overload and living unconsciousness. It’s our spirit that makes the life meaningful.
Heart is the engine of body, brain is the resource of thought, and great films are the mirrors of life. Indubitably, “Jane Eyer” is one of them.

《简爱》英文读后感5
Jane Eyre is a novel with autobiography. It tells a story of love and dignity and tells people the true meaning of life.
Jane live a happy environment, grew up under treatment with peers: discrimination and cousin aunt abandonment, cousin insults and beaten...... Perhaps it is because of all this, Jane love unlimited confidence and firm and inflexible character, which can overcome the inherent personality. She firmly to the pursuit of a bright, holy, wonderfull life.
When Jane Eyre know Mr. Rochester and Rochester, and alternate affection, is about to enter marriage when they found Rochester had wives -- an imprisoned in the attic of the mad woman. At the end of his heart, Jane fled from the manor and wandered around, and later on because he had been obsessed with Rochester and returned to him. This is the manor is completely different, and Rochester is blind, but Jane loves to go with him.
This novel fascinating plot, language starkness, scenery description, rich local color, many environmental description is both real and typical. Such as Jane Eyre's life at his aunt's home, the experience in the orphanage and her relationship with the priest, Saint John, are all truthful descriptions of the social life in Britain at that time. And the most typical of them is the description of the orphanage. In Jane Eyre, Charlotte describes the first person and contains strong emotions. Therefore, the description of the orphans' mental state is more delicate and real, which deepens the revelation and accusation of this reality.
Jane Eyre is the most approachable idol of a generation of women in the heart of a generation. She will not be difficult to get near, and her shadow is scattered around us. The art image of Jane Eyre can shock and infect readers from generation to generation. It is her self support and self-esteem that support her personality charm. If compared to "Jane Eyre" and Ibsen's "a doll's house", Jane is not willing to live in a man's choice out of the shade and Nora left home to go farther, more revolutionary than that. In Jane Eyre, there is such a word that Jane says to Rochester. "Do you think I'm poor and beautiful, I'm going to lower you?" You're wrong。 We are equal. Just as we have passed through the grave as well, and before the heels of God, we are equal. Because our spirit is equal. " The female owner is equal to the pursuit of love from the bottom of the heart, with religious devotion. Such a word is exciting at any time, and the mouth of an independent, self respecting woman seems more powerful.

Book Report-about Jane Eyre
One hundred and sixty years ago,when Charlotte Bronte created Jane Eyre,she could have never thought that it would become eternal.As a matter of fact, in the world of today,there are tens of thousands of Jane Eyre,each living in a reader's heart,breathing with him the same air and sharing with him the same happiness and sorrow.Her rich mental world has become an inexhaustible resource of spirtual power.From Jane Eyre,people who are timid and shy get confidence and self-respect;people who feel imprisoned get independence and freedom;people who are lonesome get love and care.However, what I get from Jane Eyre is the courage of inner qestioning and self-exploring.
Jane Eyre is a young orphan being raised by Mrs. Reed, her cruel, wealthy aunt. A servant named Bessie provides Jane with some of the few kindnesses she receives, telling her stories and singing songs to her. One day, as punishment for fighting with her bullying cousin John Reed, Jane’s aunt imprisons Jane in the red-room, the room in which Jane’s Uncle Reed died. While locked in, Jane, believing that she sees her uncle’s ghost, screams and faints. She wakes to find herself in the care of Bessie and the kindly apothecary Mr. Lloyd, who suggests to Mrs. Reed that Jane be sent away to school. To Jane’s delight, Mrs. Reed concurs.
Once at the Lowood School, Jane finds that her life is far from idyllic. The school’s headmaster is Mr. Brocklehurst, a cruel, hypocritical, and abusive man. Brocklehurst preaches a doctrine of poverty and privation to his students while using the school’s funds to provide a wealthy and opulent lifestyle for his own family. At Lowood, Jane befriends a young girl named Helen Burns, whose strong, martyrlike attitude toward the school’s miseries is both helpful and displeasing to Jane. A massive typhus epidemic sweeps Lowood, and Helen dies of consumption. The epidemic also results in the departure of Mr. Brocklehurst by attracting attention to the insalubrious conditions at Lowood. After a group of more sympathetic gentlemen takes Brocklehurst’s place, Jane’s life improves dramatically. She spends eight more years at Lowood, six as a student and two as a teacher.
After teaching for two years, Jane yearns for new experiences. She accepts a governess position at a manor called Thornfield, where she teaches a lively French girl named Adèle. The distinguished housekeeper Mrs. Fairfax presides over the estate. Jane’s employer at Thornfield is a dark, impassioned man named Rochester, with whom Jane finds herself falling secretly in love. She saves Rochester from a fire one night, which he claims was started by a drunken servant named Grace Poole. But because Grace Poole continues to work at Thornfield, Jane concludes that she has not been told the entire story. Jane sinks into despondency when Rochester brings home a beautiful but vicious woman named Blanche Ingram. Jane expects Rochester to propose to Blanche. But Rochester instead proposes to Jane, who accepts almost disbelievingly.
The wedding day arrives, and as Jane and Mr. Rochester prepare to exchange their vows, the voice of Mr. Mason cries out that Rochester already has a wife. Mason introduces himself as the brother of that wife—a woman named Bertha. Mr. Mason testifies that Bertha, whom Rochester married when he was a young man in Jamaica, is still alive. Rochester does not deny Mason’s claims, but he explains that Bertha has gone mad. He takes the wedding party back to Thornfield, where they witness the insane Bertha Mason scurrying around on all fours and growling like an animal. Rochester keeps Bertha hidden on the third story of Thornfield and pays Grace Poole to keep his wife under control. Bertha was the real cause of the mysterious fire earlier in the story. Knowing that it is impossible for her to be with Rochester, Jane flees Thornfield.
Penniless and hungry, Jane is forced to sleep outdoors and beg for food. At last, three siblings who live in a manor alternatively called Marsh End and Moor House take her in. Their names are Mary, Diana, and St. John (pronounced “Sinjin”) Rivers, and Jane quickly becomes friends with them. St. John is a clergyman, and he finds Jane a job teaching at a charity school in Morton. He surprises her one day by declaring that her uncle, John Eyre, has died and left her a large fortune: 20,000 pounds. When Jane asks how he received this news, he shocks her further by declaring that her uncle was also his uncle: Jane and the Riverses are cousins. Jane immediately decides to share her inheritance equally with her three newfound relatives.
St. John decides to travel to India as a missionary, and he urges Jane to accompany him—as his wife. Jane agrees to go to India but refuses to marry her cousin because she does not love him. St. John pressures her to reconsider, and she nearly gives in. However, she realizes that she cannot abandon forever the man she truly loves when one night she hears Rochester’s voice calling her name over the moors. Jane immediately hurries back to Thornfield and finds that it has been burned to the ground by Bertha Mason, who lost her life in the fire. Rochester saved the servants but lost his eyesight and one of his hands. Jane travels on to Rochester’s new residence, Ferndean, where he lives with two servants named John and Mary.
At Ferndean, Rochester and Jane rebuild their relationship and soon marry. At the end of her story, Jane writes that she has been married for ten blissful years and that she and Rochester enjoy perfect equality in their life together. She says that after two years of blindness, Rochester regained sight in one eye and was able to behold their first son at his birth.
Actually,not only do I inspired by Jane Eyre's character,but also I am moved by the love of Rochester.I believe that every one of us may have thought about our Mr.Right after reading this book.He doesn't need to be so handsome .However,he must be good to us and take our things as the most important things.Yes, we are all expecting...

《简爱》英文读后感10
《Jane Eyre》 Written by Charlotte Bronte 《Jane Eyre》is the greatest love story ever told and is a literary work which has a long history . 《Jane Eyre》explains such an attitude: human beings’ value equals to self-esteem plus love. The author of 《Jane Eyre》――Charlotte Bronte and the author of 《Wuthering Heights》――Emily Jane Bronte are sisters. Although they lived under the same circumstances, they owned totally different characters. Charlotte Bronte is gentler than Emily Jane Bronte. She was so poor when she was young and she nearly could not feel her parents’ love, in addition that she was not attractive and was very short, so all of these reflected her self-humiliation. She had a strong sense of self-esteem, and she often compensated the self-humiliation of her self-esteem. She described Jane Eyre, in fact, she wrote herself. Jane Eyre was as common as Charlotte Bronte, and she kept going after a kind of free, bright and beautiful life because of her self-esteem. However, the two sisters passed away in their golden times. It seems the God who doesn’t like them that he punished them and destroyed them. What a pity! The main idea of《Jane Eyre》is to build a strong and independent woman according to describe a complicated love story between Jane Eyre and Mr Rochester. Jane Eyre was born in a poor family and she lost her parents in her early age. Therefore, she had to depend on others for a living.
She bore her aunt’s abandon, her sister’s disgust as well as her brother’s insult. However, she did not despair, and she did not self-destruction. On the contrary, she stuck to struggle with everything and achieved the success at last. It is a power of love. Unfortunately, in her daily life of the school, she was often insulted and scolded by the Providers and always bore the physical and spiritual torments. But she did not give up but made a great progress. Finally, she obtained her teachers and classmates’ understanding. Shortly, Jane Eyre came across another difficulty that was she fell in love with Rochester. Her strong personality made her maintain the personal dignity. When she faced her rival in love Yinggelamug, she was not inferior to the aggressive girl. Similarly, in the face of Rochester, she never felt shameful owe to she is a family teacher. The other way round, she considered they were equal and should be respected by others. It is because of her integrity, noble, pure and soul without secular social pollution. Rochester was moved by her greatest respect and deeply in love with her. He was sincere, so she accepted him. Later, Jane Eyre found Rochester had a wife, so she decided to leave him without any hesitation. It shows her self-esteem again. At last, when Jane knew that Rochester was disabled and blind in order to rescue his wife, she returned to his embrace again.
From this book, it can be reflected in the emergent shape of a female image in the industrial revolution era. Novel design a very bright end. Although Rochester ruined the estate, he became a disability, but we see that Jane Eyre was no longer in contradiction between self-esteem and love. She satisfied herself and Rochester in the end. From all the things, I believe nothing’s gonna change the love for everyone, it is mere confidence. Novel tells us that the best life is human beings’ dignity and love, the outcome of the novel arranged heroine a perfect life. Although I feel that this conclusion is too perfect, even this in itself marked a shallow, but I still respect the author for such a good life ideals -- is the dignity and love, after all, in today's society, people often require money to pay the help.
Choose between poor and rich is the main factor to choose whether love or not. Few will abandon the wealth because of love like Jane Eyre. So it is like a cup of ice that cleans up every reader's mind, while causing readers, especially female readers’ resonance.
《简爱》英文读后感11
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 father's 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. Charlotte's imagination was especially fired by the poetry of Byron, whose brooding heroes served as the prototypes for characters in the Bronte's juvenile writings as well as for such figures as Mr. Rochester in Jane Eyre （2）。 Bronte's 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 Bronte's 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 Rochester's 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 Rochester's, 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 Rochester's 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. John's school.
《简爱》英文读后感12
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）.
《简爱》英文读后感13
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 goodneeventually 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 goodnecould conquer every difficulty. Although I don’t think goodneis 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 goodneis one of the most necessary character for a person. Goodneis to humans what water is to fish. He who is without goodneis an utterly worthleperson. On the contrary as the famous saying goes ‘The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose’ he who is with goodneundoubtedly 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.

i don’t know what others feel,but frankly speaking,i would rather regard the section that jane began her teaching job in thornfield as the film’s end----especially when i heard jane’s words “never in my life have i been 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 totally different result: there must be something wrong ing 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 jane’s life that “life is like a box of chocolates,you never know what you would get.”
《简爱》英文读后感15
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. Jane Eyre's 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.
