Notes on Gulliver's Travels, Jane Eyre and Tagore's Poetry

1 Gulliver's Travels

The artistic features of Gulliver's Travels are mainly reflected in the use of satire, and sharp and profound satire is the soul of this work.

Britain at that time was the object of attack and satire by the author. Gulliver's first adventure was in Lilliput. In this tiny country, partisan struggles are tense, and neighbors not only want to defeat but also enslave each other. The king of Lilliput used rope competitions to select officials. In order to get a few colored silk threads from the king, the officials did not hesitate to perform a clown-like absurd performance. This small court was the epitome of Britain at that time, and even the political habits and laws of Lilliputian were exactly the same as the British political situation at that time. In the second volume, the author even criticized Britain by name. Gulliver gave a detailed introduction to the history, system and present situation of Britain, as well as various matters of national self-defense to the King of Great Britain. But from the perspective of Great Britain, British history is full of "greed, competition, cruelty, hypocrisy, lust, sinister and ambition". In The King's Word, the author said that "such a humble and incompetent bug" was "the most harmful little poisonous bug crawling on the ground in nature", which satirized all aspects of British society. The third volume satirizes the pseudo-science in Britain at that time through the boring and absurd scientific research conducted by the people of the Lagardo Academy of Sciences. The description of the island of Lepita criticizes the British exploitation and oppression of Ireland.

The novel not only attacked the social status quo, but also directly satirized human nature itself at a deeper level. The fourth volume, the discussion about "money" is like this. Gulliver came to the country where there was no money, no army and no police, and explained to his horse owner, "The wild sheep there believe that the more money, the better. No matter whether it is used or saved, there is not enough time. Because of their nature, they are either extravagant or insatiable. The rich enjoy the fruits of the poor's labor, and the ratio of the poor to the rich is one thousand. Therefore, most of us are forced to live a miserable life ... ". The author is concerned about the pure money relationship between people in capitalist society. Thus questioning human nature.

When the author satirized and attacked the parliamentary politics and reactionary religious forces in Britain at that time mercilessly and bitterly, some of them bluntly ridiculed each other, some used foreigners' lips, some used metaphors to satirize people, and some used animals to satirize people. All this is interesting.

This is a satirical novel full of fairy tales, but every line in the book reveals the author's dissatisfaction with society. 2 Jane Eyre

1. Jane Eyre is loved by everyone. Is it about its author's self-esteem and ordinary? In other words, it is Charlotte's self-esteem and ordinary. That is a woman with a hot soul and a simple appearance. This image is undoubtedly an immortal classic. But this image, like her husband Rochester, always speaks with a tone similar to pride? Their contempt for others used to make me happy more or less, but now it makes me uneasy. Charlotte entrusted herself to Jane Eyre,

This is what I know. But what I feel is that her contempt and almost hostile attitude towards high-ranking nobles is somewhat deliberate. On the other hand, I read the feeling of inferiority.

Jane Eyre is a sensitive and easily injured woman. At first, it took too long to describe her childhood. But my feeling is that when describing Jane Eyre, Charlotte never left this body, so she didn't describe it from the perspective of omniscience. So, what she described can almost be regarded as her opinion. So, what I saw in Jane Eyre was some kind of emotional inferiority, and then it was almost legendary love? It's just that its legend shows some unreality and fantasy? There is a final ending, almost a bit hard. She met John Rivers. Although there is a pen in front, it is not so natural. Charlotte's handling of Jane Eyre is very real at the beginning and wonderful in the middle, but it hides anxiety. In the end, it's almost a cliche? It's a cliche. I expected that in the end, there is no doubt that everyone was happy and a little sad. Her bedding and connections are perfect, and she can hardly feel any flaws. But what I vaguely feel is that this is a story made up by a secular woman. It has lost its novel structure that makes me shudder? More often, I read Jane Eyre and left the villa, never to watch it again. If I were Charlotte, maybe I would go there. Because everything after that, in my opinion, is very clumsy compared with before.

2. Charlotte Brontexq, the author of Jane Eyre, and Emily, the author of Wuthering Heights, are sisters. Although they live in the same social and family environment, their personalities are quite different. Charlotte Brontexq is gentler, purer and more fond of pursuing something beautiful. Although the family is poor, she lost her maternal love since she was a child, and her father's love is even rarer. In addition, she is short and ugly, but perhaps it is this deep inferiority in her soul that is reflected in her personality as a very sensitive self-esteem. The Jane she described. Love is also an unattractive short woman, but she has extremely strong self-esteem. She is determined to pursue a bright, holy and beautiful life.

Jane Eyre lives in an environment where her parents are dead and dependent on others. She was treated differently by her peers since she was a child, rejected by menstruation, despised by her cousin, insulted and beaten by her cousin ..... This is a ruthless trampling on a child's dignity, but perhaps because of all this, Jane Eyre gained infinite self-confidence and unyielding spirit, an inner personality strength that can be overcome.

Before Rochester, she never felt inferior, because she was a humble governess. On the contrary, she thinks they are equal. She should not be respected by others because she is a servant. It is because of her integrity, nobility and purity that Rochester was shocked by the fact that her mind was not polluted by secular society, and regarded her as a person who could talk to herself on an equal footing in spirit, and slowly fell in love with her deeply. His sincerity touched her and she accepted him. On their wedding day, when Jane Eyre learned that Rochester had a wife, she felt that she had to leave. She said, "I will abide by the laws of the world recognized by God, and I will stick to the principles I accepted when I was awake, and I will not be so crazy as I am now." "I will firmly stick to this position." This is the reason why Jane Eyre told Rochester that she must leave, but from the heart, the deeper reason is that Jane Eyre realized that she was cheated and her self-esteem was teased because she loved Rochester deeply. How can a woman stand being cheated by the person she trusts and is closest to? Jane Eyre withstood it and made a very rational decision. Surrounded by such a powerful love force and lured by a beautiful and rich life, she still insists on her dignity as an individual, which is the most spiritual charm of Jane Eyre.

3. She has no parents and no money; She is a weak woman in the men's world; She is not beautiful, but she has a strong personality, which makes her even less attractive in the eyes of the world, because she will not be obedient to others. She told her friend helen burns at Lorend School: "When we are beaten for no reason, we should try to fight back;" Teach our attacker a lesson, so that he won't dare to hit people like this again. "Fight back hard! This is Jane Eyre's resistance to all injustice and discrimination, so she becomes a bad girl that Mrs. Reed hates; So, she found her love in Thornfield Manor-though it was difficult and tortuous.

Charlotte Brontexq wrote Jane Eyre after the British constitutional movement. With the emergence of the economic crisis, class contradictions in capitalist society have intensified unprecedentedly, and oppression and discrimination have spread all over the society like the air of escape. Charlotte created such an image of Jane Eyre at this time and refused to accept the humble position entrusted to her by the world. The world saw her shortcomings, told her not to expect too much from life, and asked the world to accept her as she is. The Bronte sisters seem to have inherited some rebellious and rebellious characters, and Heathcliff, the hero of Wuthering Heights, is also fighting against the injustice of fate and society, even going to extremes for love. But unlike these characters, helen burns chose to live quietly and looked forward to the end, because "life is too short to hate someone for that long." I don't think Helen's attitude towards life can be categorically rejected, even if she finally died in Lorenzo. Perhaps, at a certain time and place, Helen's attitude towards life is wise. But Jane Eyre's resistance-or struggle-has achieved a beautiful life after all, and her persistence has brought her half-life happiness.

When Jane Eyre returned to Thornfield, the manor was burned like a dream; When she came to Fontaine, she finally chose to embrace Rochester, who was blind in one hand and disabled in the other. Although St. John is a "tall, blond and handsome man", Jane Eyre flatly chose true love. This is also due to Jane Eyre's independent and uninhibited character.

Jane Eyre disobeyed fate, broke the arrangement of fate again and again and chose her own path. In the eyes of the world, she may be insignificant, but she is the master of her own destiny; She may not be beautiful, but she deserves love.

4. Is it because I am penniless, obscure, plain and short, I have no soul and no heart-you are wrong, my heart is as rich as yours, and my heart is as full! -Jane Eyre Charlotte's Jane Eyre is a classic handed down in the history of English literature. It successfully created the first female image in the history of English literature who took an independent and positive attitude towards love, life, society and religion and dared to fight for freedom and equality. Most women who love foreign literature like reading Charlotte's Jane Eyre. If we think that Charlotte wrote Jane Eyre just to write this lingering love. I think this is wrong. The author is also a woman, living in the turbulent middle of the19th century in England, when her thoughts had a brand-new beginning. What permeates Jane Eyre most is this idea-women's independent consciousness. Let's imagine that if Jane Eyre was independent, she would have been strangled in her childhood. Without that independence, she would have lived with Rochester, who has a wife and a daughter, and started a new life with money and status. If she didn't have that purity, Jane Eyre in our hands now is no longer a touching classic that makes people cry. So, I began to think about why Jane Eyre moved us so much and couldn't put it down-that is, her independent personality and exciting personality charm. However, we can't help asking, can we be independent only by this step? I don't think so. After all, women's independence is a long-term process, not overnight. It needs a thorough courage, just as Jane Eyre left Rochester resolutely, and it needs the heroism and courage of "the wind and rain hit Shui Han and the strong soil will never return". I think this should be the most crucial step, and it should also be a decisive step towards independence. However, Charlotte's Jane Eyre has left us a trace of stubborn character and independent personality. So she is a successful and happy woman. Jane Eyre has always been regarded as a classic of independent women. I hope more Jane Eyre will come out in the sun, whether poor or rich; Regardless of beauty or plain appearance, everyone has a beautiful heart and a full mind, and can live with an independent personality and a strong personality.

5.

I am full of appreciation and praise for Jane Eyre. She pursues independent personality and spiritual equality between men and women. Love life regardless of her misfortune and bring love to everyone who needs her. For the sake of my faith in love, equal, true and pure love, I even resolutely gave up my long-awaited love, and finally my lover realized spiritual equality. Jane Eyre's life is not vigorous, but ordinary and not mediocre. In my mind, Jane Eyre is like an elf, full of wisdom and love, trying to maximize her life. Her life is as bright and beautiful as a comet.

However, what moved me most was the seagoing vessel, a little girl who was also full of wisdom and love.

Helen-an extraordinary and beautiful angel in my mind. She is extraordinary because she has completely given up the world, reached a broad and lofty spiritual realm, and has unparalleled patience. She is beautiful, there is no doubt that no one thinks angels are not beautiful?

Helen's injustice is beyond the reach of ordinary people and beyond their understanding. Including Jane Eyre.

Helen was flogged for trifles, which Jane thought was unbearable. She said, "If he hits me with that whip, I'll take it from her hand and break it in front of him. Helen, on the other hand, returns good for evil in the Bible, telling her that patience is inevitable and must be endured. If you say you can't stand it, it's cowardice and stupidity. Jane is too surprised to understand this creed, nor can she understand and agree with her tolerance. However, she felt that Helen "looked at things with a light that I couldn't see". (Quote this paragraph)

Jane's rebellious spirit is naturally straightforward and inspiring, but the perseverance and tolerance of seagoing ships are more open-minded and intriguing.

Helen's greatness lies in her ability to give others real wisdom and courage.

Jane saw a strange light in Helen's eyes when she was slandered and insulted by Brocklehurst. I know this is a sign of great wisdom and real courage. With the support of this holy light, Jane suppressed the hysterical attack. But Jane can only comfort her helpless and restless soul with this, but she can't step into the spiritual hall of the seagoing ship. (Quote this paragraph)

This also shows that Helen is different. It is admirable and respectable that a teenage girl should have such an open mind and an all-inclusive mind!

However, the angel will eventually return to heaven-her eternal home.

Helen's life in the world is short, but it shines like a meteor. The life of a seagoing ship is as splendid and tragic as the sunset. It is a noble beauty, an open-minded beauty, a magnificent beauty and an epic beauty.

I still remember waking up in that dream and trying to collect all the words and descriptions about Helen. I don't know why, but I am reluctant to part with her death. To my relief, I found a detail that I neglected. The book describes that "there is a Latin word on Helen's tombstone, which means I will be born again".

A sense of depression and inner sadness has finally been alleviated. I am very happy and at ease. Isn't Resurrection a symbol of Helen's noble spirit?

I think this is also the best interpretation of Helen's death.

6. "I am poor, humble and unattractive, but when our souls pass the grave, we are all the same." This is a sentence in Jane Eyre that I remember vividly. Yes, knowledge has promoted us. How low can we be?

Jane Eyre is permeated with women's consciousness of independence and self-esteem. Jane lives in an environment where her parents are dead and dependent on each other, but she always pursues the maintenance of independent personality and the pursuit of personal freedom and opinion. In the pursuit of spiritual equality between men and women.

Before Rochester, she had never felt inferior because she was a governess. She thinks they are all equal. She should not be respected by others because she is a servant. So, in the end, she and Rochester achieved spiritual equality. Jane has extraordinary perseverance, and it is with this perseverance that her efforts have borne fruit. Poverty is neither a symbol of failure nor a symbol of natural success. Whether a person can surpass himself in poverty depends on himself. Jane can forge the key to her wisdom from misfortune, and this is her transcendence!

Jane's purity made her resolutely give up her easy-to-get love. Without that purity, she would live with Rochester. Start a new life with money and status. In real life, we can't rule out the existence of "empty vases". They are beautiful but not easy to use, and they will make us bored if we look at them for a long time. Instead, face the misfortunes and setbacks in life with a positive attitude and safeguard your dignity with practical actions. The passage of time not only did not detract from her appearance, but added a new style to her, which led to the fleeting time. When you are old, you can still give off a faint fragrance of flowers without the appearance like water, which gives you a pleasant sensation of moistening things silently and never tires of listening to them.

Jane's purity made her resolutely return to Rochester, who lost her money and status. Her eyes were covered by beams, and she lived alone in a cabin in the forest. Jane knows very well that money is the wealth of life, but there is more than one kind of wealth in life. Even if Rochester is poor, ugly and equal, she still has to take care of him. What she likes is not Rochester, who is rich and famous, but pure love!

People are cute not because they are beautiful, but because they are cute. Noble life, embarrassing environment can't change his nobility, and hard fate can't change his nobility. Noble life often knows how to enjoy life gracefully and manage life easily. Jane's noble life stems from the fact that she is a person who can live for her own soul, and the fragrance floating from her free heart is a calm temperament. Many readers, including me, deeply admire Jane's unpretentious attitude. She has no choice, nothing is sacred, and the pace of life is so tolerant and self-respecting. She asks for the least nutrition, but she is the most beautiful flower. After a vigorous struggle, she still responded with faint emotions, which is a spiritual world full of compassion, love and tolerance that people can appreciate.

7. In the history of literature, there are many classics that will last forever, but they can go deep into people's souls like Jane Eyre. It attracts thousands of readers with irresistible beauty and affects people's spiritual world. Even for some people, there are not many works that have influenced their lives. Jane Eyre is a novel with a revolving color, which explains such a theme: human value = dignity+love. Charlotte Brontexq, the author of Jane Eyre, and Emily, the author of Wuthering Heights, are sisters. Although they live in the same social and family environment, their personalities are quite different. Charlotte Brontexq is gentler, purer and more fond of pursuing something beautiful. Although her family was poor, she lost her mother's love and little father's love from an early age, plus her short stature and average appearance.

These familiar words, as well as widely circulated poems, are like cups of fragrant teas, which linger in my mind for a long time after tasting. Reading Tagore's Selected Poems seems to bring us closer to Tagore. His spirit is so profound, so rich and so delicate, chapter after chapter of verse, or small and exquisite, or brilliant. Tagore used his philosophy and the world to give the world a lot of wisdom and inspiration. Turn it gently and wander around doing nothing. Suddenly, a beautiful article will break into your eyes.

After reading his poems for the first time, I was lost. I picked up the book and felt my heart pounding before I dared to put it down. But somehow, there is an inexplicable impulse in my heart. I want to open it and "rest after reading", approach him and appreciate the master's style. Kitagari, a lyrical and romantic gardener, a delicate and rational firefly, a philosophical and intelligent bird, examines the wings of life's death ... Tagore presented these fresh and meaningful treasures to us without impurities.

It was the heartfelt words of a poet who was rooted in Indian philosophy, grew up in the ocean of Indian literature, wandered in the moonlight of Indian art and was deeply influenced by western culture. It is Tagore's understanding of life, his thinking about the universe, and his reverie about life ... In these poems, an extremely common emotion is found, which reminds people of many things that are often overlooked in the troubles of our lives, in the noise of cities, in the cry of shoddy literary works, and in the whirlpool of advertisements. ...

"Viper/spits poison everywhere,/talks about gentleness and peace,/sounds like sarcasm. So, before I die,/let me pay my last respects to people who are preparing/fighting the devil everywhere. /"Tagore wrote, his pen is sharp and sarcastic, and he lashed out at Schindler, who is arrogant in Central Europe. The whole poem is impassioned and contains profound patriotic feelings and international humanitarian spirit. Let us truly feel the poet's sense of justice against fascism, imperialism and colonial rule. He greeted the coming of World War II, pursued peace and light, enthusiastically inspired the liberation cause of people all over the world, and made unremitting efforts to this end. -This is Tagore's work "King Kong Glows". Of course, poets also have their own "light wind and moon" side.

"You can say what you like, but I know my child's weakness. I love him, not because he is good, but because he is my naive child. ..... When I had to punish him, he became more and more a part of me. When I made him cry, my heart cried. ..... "How close it is to your life and mine. There is no father or mother in the world who doesn't love their children so much. When a father or mother punishes a child, the most sad thing is themselves, because the child is the heart of the parents! Perhaps, we can't understand the idea that "Brahma and I are one, I and non-I are one, and they are in harmony" put forward by scholars who study Tagore's poems. Let's look at the above two poems. What we have to do is to have a normal heart, communicate with these rhythmic lyrics and get in touch with the author's heart at zero distance. Those vast words of wisdom, whether "full of light and wind" or "full of anger", are like serenades that turn around and sound beautiful, and like the gurgling water of a mountain stream. They cultivate the philosophy of life, describe the quiet life, and have exquisite and concise metaphors, long artistic conception and endless aftertaste. ...

Tagore's poems are not as magnificent as Pushkin's, as beautiful as wet sea, as intense as Byron's and as romantic as Shelley's. His poems are beautiful paintings, silent and harmonious. His artistic charm and broad ideas are beyond the reach of ordinary people. Tagore, a poet, novelist, artist and social activist. Each of his poems is full of fiery spiritual sparks, illuminating the readers' hearts. In the secular world, these people who are busy with utilitarianism, fame and fortune, and even possessed by jealousy and money can be moved and purified. "Wind lighting month" and "King Kong shines". Tagore's poems are full of vigor and vitality. Although the poet has experienced many ups and downs and pains, his philosophy and thoughts are brilliant, happy and universal. We often appreciate Tagore's poems and approach Tagore, and we will be smarter. Unconsciously warm and bright in my heart After reading Tagore's Selected Poems, I benefited a lot!

Tagore is the poet most admired and loved by the Indian people. He participated in and led the Renaissance activities in India. He excluded western culture from Britain, which was blocked by the surrounding chaos and somewhat enslaved by colonies, and studied India's own long and excellent culture in depth. He went deep into the people, listened to myths, ballads and folk stories, and wrote essays and poems in the simplest language.

This book inadvertently introduced Tagore to me. After reading his biography and poems, I didn't think of him. I just feel a little clear, like clearing a hazy fog and polishing my eyes to see the world so thoroughly.

From this poem 103, we can deeply understand how this great Indian poet loves his motherland with a long and excellent culture, the peaceful and democratic working people and the magnificent and beautiful mountains and rivers of this country. Between the lines of these poems, we can see Indian women holding lanterns, pots and towels; Indian workers and farmers who sweat hard on the road in the field, Indian musicians who play the piano and flute at the Garden Ferry, Indian children who jump and laugh with the waves at the seaside, as well as the continuous drizzle in the tropics and the flowers on the trees ... We seem to hear the sound of dense raindrops and smell the rich flowers.

Tagore was a patriot, philosopher and poet. His poems reveal his enthusiasm for the motherland, sympathy for women and love for children. With strong love, there will be strong hatred. When everything he loves is violated, he will give a strong roar. His love and hate are like waves, rippling around the world.

Indians say Tagore was born in the nest of songbirds. His plays, novels, essays ... all exude deep poetry. His people love his natural and sincere poems. When farmers, fishermen and all workers sing Tagore's poems in the fields, at sea or in other workplaces to express their feelings, they don't know this.

His extreme belief-his "universe and personal spirit" is very different.

Reflections on Tagore's Selected Poems

Tagore wrote more than 50 poems, 12 novels, 108 short stories and 20 plays in his life. Although there are many achievements in his creation, he is famous all over the world through his poems. His early poems are rich in themes, diverse in forms and fresh and beautiful in style. 19 13, the collection of religious lyric poems "Gitanjali" won the Nobel Prize in Literature, which was the first time that an oriental won this honor. His later political poems closely matched the real struggle and won him the title of "patriotic poet". Deeply rooted in the soil of national art, he boldly absorbed the nutrition of foreign poetry and opened up a new world of Indian poetry. People respectfully call him a "poet saint".

Most of the early story poems came from religious legends and folk stories. Religious legends include stories of Buddhism, Hinduism and Sikhism. The author has artistically processed and recreated these stories. The mid-term "Gitanjali" is Tagore's most famous poetry collection. "Gitanjali" means "a poem", that is, a poem dedicated to God. The theme of poetry collection is to worship God and yearn for the combination with God. India has had the form of praising God since ancient times, but this book of poems by Tagore closely combines with reality and expresses the poet's exploration and pursuit of life ideals. The later political lyrics gradually changed the reformist mood and mysticism in the past, showing obvious political tendency. The poem 10 in Birthday Collection is considered as a monument of Tagore's life. The central issue put forward by Tagore in this poem is the relationship between the poet and the working people. Based on this, he summarized and evaluated his life creation.

Tagore's poems are loved by people all over the world, and many Chinese writers have been inspired by them. Guo Moruo's Goddess is obviously influenced by Tagore's poems. It is self-evident that Bing Xin's poetry anthology "Stars" and "Spring Water" were influenced by it. Uppsala of Sweden said: "Nobel Prize in Literature should be awarded to this writer who is both an artist and a prophet. Rabindranath Tagore is unparalleled in this respect. "

I'm sorry, I copied it from scratch, too. I hope it's useful to you. You can also go to Baidu to know that there are many.

I'm happy to answer your question.
