Reflection
As far as i am concerned,Jane Eyre is a touching book, Jane’s special experiences in her childhood shaped her personality, a brave ,confident girl.
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.
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. But when we think of this girl, what she gave us was not a pretty face o that make us admire deeply, but a huge charm of her personality.
My favorite paragraph of this novel is: You think because I'm poor, I'm plain, I have no feelings? I promise you, if god is gifted me with wealth and beauty, I should make it does as hard for you to leave me just as for me to leave you now, but he did not. If my spirit can address yours, as we both pass the grave stood before him.
As for love between Jane and Rochester, Jane thought she didn`t really understand him and not sure whether he was serious or just played a joke .She did not think that Rochester was her Mr.Right.
Fortunately,finally she had the courage to express her love to Mr Rochester and i think that is called the real love .
