《简爱》是一部激励女性，振奋人心的作品。这是十九世纪英国著名的女作家夏洛蒂·勃朗特的代表作。
故事中的简爱从小就失去了父母，被舅舅家领养。舅舅里德很照顾简爱，却不幸过早离世了。这就使得简爱在舅舅家的地位是无足轻重的了。简爱在那受尽了歧视和瘧待，表哥常常欺凌她，舅母对她甚至是像对仆人一样，并且千方百计地要赶走她。尽管如此，但小小年纪的简爱离开的时候并没有表现出一丝的留恋和依赖，因为她知道她心里坦荡荡的，光明正大，所以才无所畏惧。送去罗沃德孤儿院之后，她遇到了最好的朋友海伦。两颗幼小纯洁的心灵从此联系在了一起。简爱体现出了一种敢于反抗封建思想的精神。怎么可以因为上课时分神了一下就得遭受严厉的鞭打呢？这是冷漠人心的表现，是不符合人权的行为。期间，简爱掌握了不少知识，并且还做了老师。
之后，简爱来到桑恩费尔德庄园应聘，也就是在这里，她遇到了生命中的真命天子——罗切斯特。他们在庄园里的第一次对话便有些针锋相对的意味。罗切斯特是个富有的有社会地位的庄园主，也许是对贫苦人的抱怨和希望博得他人同情的行为司空见惯了，他以为简爱也会如此，会大肆宣泻自己的不幸与不满。可是令他意外的是，简爱竟然说她自己没有不幸。而且是在父母早亡，在舅舅家受瘧待和歧视，被舅母赶出家门，在孤儿院受压迫过活的情况下。其实光是这一点，就足够令罗切斯特对简爱感到另眼相看了。
在点点滴滴的相处中，罗切斯特深深地感受到，简是个坚强，内心深处有着自己独特想法，有有肉的女子，是个能与他的灵魂平等交流的女子。他被简彻底地打动了。一次Party使得简爱的期待落空，也使得屈辱不堪的'她终于爆发了，道出了自己的心声：不要以为我长得矮小平凡就以为我不会思考，就没有爱的能力；如果我也有上帝所赋予的天资，那么我也同样会很出色。我认为，这也是本书最精彩的地方。的确，其实人生来就是不平等的。有的人出于富贵之家，有的人生来就拥有一幅好的容貌。可是，何必要执着于这些呢？要知道，我们还是能够满怀友爱，自信而平等地对待他人。
一念天堂，一念地狱，如何取舍就在于自己的一念一想。误会解除之后，罗切斯特向简求婚，简高兴地答应了，然而没想到的是，这背后却有个惊天秘密。罗有个患有精神病的结婚十五年的妻子！这个事实令简大受打击，她忍受不了她最信任的人一直欺骗着她，忍受不了他们之间有道法律的鸿沟，而这条鸿沟却是跨不过去的。简带着她仅剩的一点尊严离开了罗，之后被牧师圣。约翰收留。圣。约翰请求简做他的妻子，一并带她去印度。当问及娶简的原因时，他的回答却仅仅是简适合做传教士的妻子，而不是出于爱。不，这不是简想要的爱情。她想拥有的爱情是纯洁的，是两个心灵激情碰撞之后产生的火花，是因情感交流而衍生出来的惺惺相惜，绝不是存在利益关系的交易。于是，简又回到了庄园课那里却变成了一片狼藉，简急切地想要找到罗切斯特，看他是否安好。因为那场大火，罗切斯特变成了一个残废。可尽管如此，简还是一如既往地爱着他，并没有因为他变成了残疾而鄙视、抛弃他，也并不会因为他变得一无所有而离开他。这就是简对爱情的态度：你可以贫穷，你可以变丑，但你不能欺骗我，伤害我的自尊。这才是真正的“因为爱情”。
我想，简的这种精神是独立的，是难能可贵的。我们是活生生的有思想，有感情的人，带着尊严和爱生活在这个世界。别人可以瞧不起我们，但我们不能看不起自己，我们要“自命不凡”，坚强、自信、努力地面对一切困难，迎难而上。如何做的关键就在于自己如何想。选择积极的心态那么阳光、快乐、满足将会伴你一生；选择消极的心态，那么阴郁、抱怨、不幸将会长相随。所以，对自己好一点的话，全世界都会为你让路。

Be a Woman Be a Human
Little Women is an autobiographical novel published in 1868 and written by American author Louisa May Alcott. She wrote from the heart, and wove into the story incidents from the lives of herself and her three sisters at Concord. It was based on author’s own experiences as a child in Concord, Massachusetts with her three sisters. Little Women is the story of the Marches, a family used to hard toil and suffering. Although Father March is away with the Union armies, the sisters Meg, Jo, Amy and Beth keep in high spirits with their mother, affectionately named Marmee.
The novel hasn't got fantastic plot, but the author described the happy family life with the simple language. However, this is the story of their growing maturity and wisdom and the search for the contents of family life. It has become a much loved classic tale and many of the trials of the sisters are all too relevant today as evidenced by its continued following.
One of the prominent themes in Little Women is the coming of age or maturation of the girls. During the course of the novel we see them grow in many ways--physically, intellectually, and especially emotionally. After certain happy times winning over the Laurences, their friendly rich neighbor, dark times arrive as Marmee finds out about her husband's illness. Worse is to come as Beth contracts scarlet fever in her Samaritan efforts for a sick neighbor and becomes more or lean invalid. The novel
tells of their young womanhood with the additional strains of romance, Beth's terminal illness, the pressures of marriage and the outside world.
When I read the book, the comfortable feeling and the sense of growing up both strike me as reasonable. These are some most impressive plots to me.
All of the characters who earlier wish for genius and success—Amy, Jo, and Laurie—now realize that they merely possess talent, not the genius for which they earlier hope. These realizations are the results of growing up and learning to accept small defeats. Even Jo’s writing style changes. She no longer writes tales of adventure and intrigue but, instead, write in simpler style that sounds similar to that Little Women itself. Tough one can argue that this change in writing style reflects a loss of independence for Jo, one can also argue that it demonstrates an ability to adapt her creativity to the world around her.
Another plot appeals to me a lot is the end of the story. In contrast to the stormy, childish encounter between Laurie and Jo, Bhaer’s proposal to Jo is touching and more grown-up. Jo goes out to seek Bhaer, demonstrating that she has some agency in the affair; when he proposes, the rain and mud prevent him from going down on his knee or giving his hand, so they stand literally on an equal footing. Jo, furthermore, looks nothing like a romantic heroine; she is bedraggled with rain and mud, but it makes no difference. This marriage, which begins with equality andprimacy of the heart rather than primacy of appearance, is promising.
There is also some foreshadowing in this book. For instance, when Laurie parents the March sisters with a postbox, the writer hints that love letter will pass through the box in years to come. Laurie promise to kiss Amy before she dies foreshadows their future marriage.
The old story brings me some contemporary thinking. Women’s struggle between familial duty and personal growth; the danger of gender stereotyping; the necessity of work; and the importance to be genuine. No matter what age you are in, you need to keep equality concept in mind. Just as the poem If by Joseph Rudyard Kipling goes:
If you can talk with crows and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings---nor lose the common touch.
Then you’ll be a woman, and be a human. The book teaches me how to be a woman, or rather how to be a human.
