《简爱》

以前不解的是，当简爱发现事实真相后，她等到深夜瞒着罗切斯特悄悄离开了，不惜穿越沼泽，忍饥挨饿，不惜放弃一切、放弃爱情。年少的我觉得不可想象，如果两个人那么相爱，简爱怎么能放弃，这对罗切斯特会是什么样的打击。一个贫穷、低微、矮小、不美的女人为什么会把独立和尊严看得那么重，重到超越爱情。年少时的我觉得这就是书中要告诉我们的吧：有比爱情更重要更珍贵的东西。你要学会女人的独立和尊严，它远远超越爱情。

可长大后渐渐明白，或许简爱不是因为尊严比爱情更重要而离开，而正相反，她因为太爱了，爱到不允许自己的感情里出现一丝杂质、她要的是罗切斯特的真心、罗切斯特的全部，任何人的存在都会玷污这份感情。呵，可怜的简爱啊。

情深不寿，慧极必伤。为什么要这么执着呢？不，再也不了...

最后，再来回忆一下这本书里振聋发聩的一段话吧，它应成为每个女性的座右铭：Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong! — I have as much soul as you — and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh: it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God's feet, equal — as we are!

你以为,我因为穷,低微,矮小,不美,我就没有灵魂没有心了吗?你想错了----我的心灵跟你一样丰富,我的心胸与你一样充实.虽然我一贫如洗,长相平庸,但我们的精神是平等的,就如同我们经过坟墓,最后将同样站在上帝面前---因为我们是平等的.
