Pride and Prejudice of Jane Eyre

Snow at Christmas is indeed a tradition.When Jane Eyre woke up, it seemed that today was extraordinarily quiet. She forgot to draw up the thick curtains last night, and when she opened her eyes, she found that the room was full of light.Overnight, the whole Thornfield was covered with snow.She was a southerner in her previous life. Occasionally, if she was lucky, there would be fine and dense snow during the Chinese New Year, but such a grand snow scene had only been seen on TV.

The goose feather heavy snow fell very quietly. She opened the window and could only hear a faint rustling sound when she listened carefully.In front of Thornfield's house is a large plain, the whole is covered with snow, and the sky and the earth are connected with each other, all of which are pure white.

A gust of wind blew past, and Jane Eyre shivered, and quickly closed the window with an excited smile on her face.She quickly changed her clothes and put on her coat, planning to go outside for a few laps and step on the snow.As soon as she walked to the door, she found a new card stuffed under the crack of the door, and she opened it curiously.

Inside is a greeting card, which simply says MerryChristmas and is signed by Mr. Rochester.Jane Eyre trembled suspiciously, and another ten pound note and a note fell out of the envelope.The note explained that it was this year's salary.Only then did Jane Eyre remember that she had been in Sanfjord for four months!

She walked quickly to the closet and found the dress in the small velvet bag, which contained all her belongings - including the previous manuscript fee, Mr. Darcy's "indemnity", plus the four months' salary, She already has £35!Like Grandet, Jane Eyre spread all her savings on the bed. If she has a camera and mobile phone, she must take pictures!

Satisfied, she put everything back.Go downstairs for breakfast.As soon as I turned down the stairs, I met Mrs. Fairfax at the landing on the first floor.

"Morning! Mrs. Fairfax!" Jane Eyre greeted energetically, and kissed her intimately.Mrs. Fairfax greeted her with a smile, and produced two letters from her apron pocket. "This is a letter from John just now! You are the recipient of the letter. John said that the people at the station explained that the letter from there was delayed by more than half a month because of the heavy snowfall in County XX a while ago."

Jane Eyre took the two letters and thanked them.These two letters came from two different places, one from London and one from County XX.While opening the envelope, she walked towards the restaurant.

The letter from London was unmistakably a letter from the newspaper.The letter said that the editor-in-chief was very satisfied with her work and planned to pay 30 pounds for the manuscript, and even if she wanted to, they also wanted to buy out the copyright for 50 pounds.Specifically, the editor-in-chief wants to discuss with her face to face - after all, the price is really not low.

Jane Eyre tore the bread, feeling a little tangled. The buyout price of 50 pounds was indeed far beyond her expectations. If she still planned to continue writing Gothic novels with a pen name, she would definitely choose to only get 30 pounds for the manuscript.It's just that she has a new idea and wants to write "feminist" works, so she must distinguish them and change her pseudonym again.But being bought out directly, he felt a little unwilling.

This is not the most troublesome thing: the letter mentions that the editor really wants to have an interview with her, and now that she is a poor orphan girl, she has no confidence to negotiate with them. Maybe after knowing her gender, she will accuse her of fraud , and even criticized her.

Jane Eyre thought for a long time, and finished all her breakfast, but she didn't think of a solution.She looked at another letter from XX County, and planned to put the London matter aside.

The letter from County XX was written by Bessie. Bessie was the only servant who cared and sympathized for Jane Eyre when she was still living in Uncle Reed's house when she was a child.

The letter was very long, and Bessie first said hello and explained her current life.She was happily married to Li Wen, the coachman of the Gatesread House, and had three children.Their life is still prosperous, but the situation of the masters is completely different.

Jane Eyre's childhood nightmare--cousin John has died in London, his temperament is too bad, he hangs out with men and women, and later contracted the worst disease in the world-gambling!He was dunked and threatened, and then he ran home and asked Mrs. Reed to hand over all the family property to him. Of course, he was rejected, but Mrs. Reed also doted on her only son very much, and it was not necessary to fill in her own private property. few.In the end he died, what the servants speculated was suicide.

And Mrs. Reed, perhaps because she was too unkind, was punished by God.She was also too indulgent to herself, and she grew puffy.The news of her son's death overwhelmed her frail body, and she suffered a stroke.After the stroke, she was speechless, and only a few days before Bessie wrote the letter, she murmured that she regretted to see the Jane Eyre who was driven away by her.

Seeing this, Jane's heart suddenly became angry.Poor Miss Jane Eyre has lived a hard life for more than ten years, and has never felt the love of her relatives.She had read these in the original book a long time ago. Miss Jane Eyre's kindness and kindness made her forgive Mrs. Reed when she died.But those shadows of childhood, and the suffering suffered in Lowood in his teens, can they really disappear?

Jane Eyre's memories are also integrated with the original Jane Eyre. Those pains and struggles are not just simple words in writing, but those suffocating memories are also hers.She couldn't breathe when she thought about it.

She was also an orphan in her previous life, but she also grew up in the care of her relatives.The original body didn't have such good luck, it was simply two extremes.This complex emotion filled her heart, Jane Eyre stood up abruptly, and walked around the restaurant anxiously, her heart was beating so fast that she couldn't breathe for a while.

Jane Eyre walked to the window quickly, and pushed open the thick stained glass window to let the outside air circulate.The cold air mixed with the wind and snow slowly calmed her down.

"Miss Jane, are you still unwell?" Mr. Rochester's voice sounded beside him, and Jane Eyre, who was immersed in strong emotions, did not notice that he entered the restaurant at all.Jane Eyre shook her head: "My wind chill has recovered, I'm fine."

Mr. Rochester observed her expression: "That's not what your red eyes say." He turned sideways and closed the window, leaving only a thin slit.

"You look like you're about to cry."

Jane Eyre turned around in a hurry, so as not to let him see that she was in a bit of a broken mood.

"We are friends, aren't we?" Mr. Rochester's voice was unprecedentedly gentle, "Just as you have enlightened and redeemed me, I also want to do something for my friend—if you regard me as a friend."

After struggling for a while, Jane Eyre told him the ins and outs, and she really needed advice from bystanders.Yuanshen chose to forgive those hatreds, but she had not been influenced by Christ, she did not want to obey Yuanshen's wishes, go against her own heart and let the villain finally forgive herself with peace of mind before she died.

Mr. Rochester patiently listened to her talking about her childhood experience and the wishes of Gatesreed House. "Gates Reed—I have some impressions there, too. Mr. Reed was a generous magistrate." "Yes, he is my uncle. But his widow did not follow his wishes, and she Gone is 'me', and her children are - with all due respect, complete rogues."

"I trust your judgment." His tone was serious and firm, "Then why are you hesitating? Such a person is not worthy of your attention."

Jane Eyre's brows were tightened, showing a tangled expression. "Because of doctrine, it seems that I should go back and kneel by her bed, kiss her forehead, and tell her that I have forgiven her, so that she can go to see God in peace, but..." She breathed deeply "But from my heart, I'm not such a kind person, I can't forgive her, and even—even want her to go to hell!"

"Miss Jane, follow your heart." Mr. Rochester reached out and closed the window completely, "You told me that too, didn't you?" His eyes met Jane Eyre's, implying something.

Jane Eyre was enlightened.Just like Mr. Rochester's obsession, memory is just memory, and it should not be imprisoned.

"Thank you, sir." Jane Eyre thanked solemnly, "I know what to do." Random she smiled helplessly, "Sure enough, it is clear to the bystanders, I want to apologize to you for my offense!"

Mr. Rochester raised his hand, as if he wanted to pat her on the shoulder, but he hesitated for a moment before putting his hand down: "We should all reconcile with the past."

Jane Eyre has made a decision, she is already in this world, and this body is also controlled by her, if she always wants to follow the old path of the original owner, she will not choose to do so many things to fight against this era.If she can't forgive, then she won't forgive; if she wants to fulfill, then fulfill it.

After thinking about it, life became easier.After Christmas, the servants all went back to work at Thornfield.Mr. Rochester didn't stay at home all the time. He often went out for a whole day, and occasionally stayed out at night. He looked very busy, but he was full of energy.It was a vigor he hadn't seen since those events.

On this day, Jane Eyre wrote a reply letter to the newspaper office, expressing that she was only willing to accept the manuscript fee of 30 pounds. As for the meeting, she could not decide for the time being due to some reasons.In the afternoon, John was going to the market in Haygrass Village to buy some items for his master, so Jane Eyre asked him to help mail the letter.

Jane Eyre and John were talking and laughing to send him out, and when they were about to say goodbye, a carriage drove towards Thornfield's house at the end of the road.It was not Thornfield's carriage, nor was it the carriage of Mr. Rochester's previous guests.

The carriage got closer and closer, and finally stopped in front of the two of them.The coachman asked loudly, "Excuse me, is this Thornfield Manor?"

"Yes, who are you?" John asked warily.

A woman stepped out of the carriage, and she smiled at Jane Eyre.
