the first sentence in this book is impressive. it reads: “it is a truth well known to all the world that an unmarried man in possession of a large fortune must be in need of a wife”. the undertone is very clear: the foundation of the marriage at that time is not emotion but possession. people always think that austen was an expert at telling love stories. in fact, the marriage in her book is not the result of love, but the result of economic needs.

after reading this book, i know the truth is that a poor woman must be in need of a husband, a wealthy man. i couldn’t forget how eager mrs. bennet wants to marry off her daughters. if you want to know why she is so crazy about these things, i must mention the situation in britain at that time. only the eldest son had the privilege of inheriting his father’s possessions. younger sons and daughters who are used to luxurious lives have no choice but marry a man or woman in possession of a large fortune to continue their comfortable lives.thus, we can see that getting married is a way to become wealthier, particularly for women without many possessions. jane austen told us that money and possession determined everything, including marriage and love in her century. in “pride and prejudice”, the sister of mr. bingley strongly opposed his plan of marrying jane because the bennets don’t have many possessions and their social positions are much lower than them. from this, we can see there are a lot of obstacles for a not very rich woman to marry a wealthy husband.

the society, the relatives would not allow them to get married. in modern society, although the marriages of economic needs have decreased rapidly, the concept of “money determines everything” is still rooted in some people’s mind. a lot of parents try hard to interfere their children’s marriages. education background, possessions, jobs remains the main reason that may influence one’s marriage. marry for money is still a big problem in our society. we can’t help thinking: can money determine everything?

reading a good book is enough to benefit you all your life. "gone with the wind" really helped me get inspired and benefited from the light. it is a novel about war, but margaret did not focus on the battlefield. in addition to the beautiful and fluent language that people admire, the most successful is the characterization of the characters.

among them, the heroine hao sijias love view makes me feel very deep. when i first read gone with the wind, it was a complicated feeling for scarlett. i had to admire her. she hates her for utility and for money. however, she was uncontrollable in her spirit of her own ideals. her life was colorful, and perhaps her love was not perfect. but no difficulty can knock her down, and she is worthy to learn from all the difficulties. "tomorrow, another day." always full of hope, full of will, never give up, never despair. for scarlett, it was like a golden sunrise that would sweep away the black mist that enveloped her. there are so many things that cant be borne. it is not easy to live in any time, during the great depression or at its peak. this sentence applies to every person in the face of difficulties, never bow, never flinch, in a positive manner to meet the challenge. when the world changes, it also needs to change itself to adapt to the world in a timely manner. only those who possess such attitude will be able to stand in the face of difficulties and be called strong. scarlett was a strong man. she was a very poor man in a very short time, but she was not frightened by the change. when she was helpless and could only hold herself, she resisted all external oppression with her thin shoulders and kept tara. but in love, scarlett was confused. she loved two men in her life, and she didnt know one. if she knew ashley, she would not love him. if she knew rhett, she wouldnt lose him. she had lived up to rhett. shes just in pursuit of his ideal prince - she thinks is ashley wilkes, so she made a beautiful coat put on for him, then crazy love him, but in fact, her love is the dress. another character who had to be mentioned was melanie, a woman of great resilience in her femininity. as rhett said, she was one of the few expensive ladies he had ever seen. she is strong, she is patriotic, she uses her beloved all the people. she was probably scarletts only confidante, and for more than a decade, melanie had become an indispensable part of her life.

gone with the wind is a love war novel whose background is the conflict between new ideas and old society. and as it turns out, new ideas are what suits new societies. therefore, under the sunshine of the party, we will surely move forward to a better and happy future!

published in 1847, wuthering heights was not well received by the reading public, many of whom condemned it as sordid, vulgar, and unnatural–and author emily bronte went to her grave in 1848 believing that her only novel was a failure. it was not until 1850, when wuthering heights received a second printing with an introduction by emily’s sister charlotte, that it attracted a wide readership. and from that point the reputation of the book has never looked back. today it is widely recognized as one of the great novels of english literature.

even so, wuthering heights continues to divide readers. it is not a pretty love story; rather, it is swirling tale of largely unlikeable people caught up in obsessive love that turns to dark madness. it is cruel, violent, dark and brooding, and many people find it extremely unpleasant. and yet–it possesses a grandeur of language and design, a sense of tremendous pity and great loss that sets it apart from virtually every other novel written.

the novel is told in the form of an extended flashback. after a visit to his strange landlord, a newcomer to the area desires to know the history of the family–which he receives from nelly deans, a servant who introduces us to the earnshaw family who once resided in the house known as wuthering heights. it was once a cheerful place, but old earnshaw adopted a “gipsy” child who he named heathcliff. and catherine, daughter of the house, found in him the perfect companion: wild, rude, and as proud and cruel as she. but although catherine loves him, even recognizes him as her soulmate, she cannot lower herself to marry so far below her social station. she instead marries another, and in so doing sets in motion an obsession that will destroy them all.

wuthering heights is a bit difficult to “get into;” the opening chapters are so dark in their portrait of the end result of this obsessive love that they are somewhat off-putting. but they feed into the flow of the work in a remarkable way, setting the stage for one of the most remarkable structures in all of literature, a story that circles upon itself in a series of repetitions as it plays out across two generations. catherine and heathcliff are equally remarkable, both vicious and cruel, and yet never able to shed their impossible love no matter how brutally one may wound the other.

as the novel coils further into alcoholism, seduction, and one of the most elaborately imagined plans of revenge it gathers into a ghostly tone: heathcliff, driven to madness by a woman who is not there but who seems reflected in every part of his world–dragging her corpse from the grave, hearing her calling to him from the moors, escalating his brutality not for the sake of brutality but so that her memory will never fade, so that she may never leave his mind until death itself. yes, this is madness, insanity, and there is no peace this side of the grave or even beyond.

it is a stunning novel, frightening, inexorable, unsettling, filled with unbridled passion that makes one cringe. even if you do not like it, you should read it at least once–and those who do like it will return to it again and again.

jane eyre was published in 1847 under the androgynous pseudonym of "currer bell." the publication was followed by widespread success. utilizing two literary traditions,the bildungsroman and the gothic novel,jane eyre is a powerful narrative with profound themes concerning genders,family,passion,and identity. it is unambiguously one of the most celebrated novels in british literature.

born in 1816,charlotte bronte was the third daughter of patrick bronte,an ambitious and intelligent clergyman. according to newsman,all the bronte children were unusually precocious and almost ferociously intelligent,and their informal and unorthodox educations under their father’s tutelage nurtured these traits. patrick bronte shared his interests in literature with his children,toward whom he behaved as though they were his intellectual equals. the bronte children read voraciously. charlotte’s imagination was especially fired by the poetry of byron,whose brooding heroes served as the prototypes for characters in the bronte’s juvenile writings as well as for such figures as mr. rochester in jane eyre (2). bronte’s formal education was limited and sporadic – ten months at the age of 8 at cowan bridge clergy daughters’ school (the model for lowood institution in jane eyre),eighteen months from the age of 14 at roe head school of miss margaret wooler (the model for ms. temple) (nestor

3-4). according to newman,bronte then worked as a teacher at roe head for three years before going to work as a governess. seeking an alternative way of earning money,charlotte bronte went to brussels in 1842 to study french and german at the pensionnat heger,preparing herself to open a school at the parsonage. she seems to have fallen in love with her charismatic teacher,constantin heger. the experience seems on a probable source for a recurrent feature in bronte’s fiction: “relationships in which the inflammatory spark of intellectual energy ignites an erotic attraction between a woman and a more socially powerful man” (newman 6). the brontes’ efforts to establish a school at the parsonage never got off the ground. still seeking ways to make money,charlotte published,with her sisters,the unsuccessful poems by currer,ellis,and acton bell. her first effort to publish a novel,the professor,was also unsuccessful. jane eyre,published in october 1847,however,was met with great enthusiasm and became one of the best sellers. as “currer bell” bronte pleted two more novels,shirley and villette. she married reverend william bell nicholls in 1854 and died nine months later,at the age of thirty-nine in 1855 (nestor 4-5).

the story of jane eyre takes place in northern england in the early to mid-19th century. (“jane eyre” 151) it starts as the ten-year-old jane,a plain but unyielding child,is excluded by her aunt reed from the domestic circle around the hearth and bullied by her handsome but unpleasant cousins. under the suggestion of mr. lloyd,an apothecary that sympathizes jane,mrs. reed sends jane to lowood institution operated by a hypocritical evangelicalist,mr. brocklehurst,who chastises jane in front of the class and calls her a liar. at lowood,jane befriends with helen burns,who helps the newly arrived jane adjust to the austere

a christmas carol is one of the best-known works of charles dickens, who is a criticism writer in the 19th century. his works mainly reflect the reality and a christmas carol, with no exception, mirrors westerners#39; lives on christmas.

the novel tells an old man who regards money as his own life---ebenezer scrooge. even on christmas eve, when the family gets together and people bless each other, he is still quite mean to everybody. it is not until three ghosts#39; coming to reveal his childhood, present and future that he realizes how important to be good to others and what christmas means. the ghosts of the past, present and future visit scrooge and help him see how his behaviour has impacted on his life, and the way that he is treated by other people as a consequence. at the end of the novel, scrooge is no longer the one he has been.

from the novel i#39;ve learned what the inherent meaning of christmas is, which results in my thinking about how to treat others.

christmas is to western countries what spring festival is to china. although both festivals are designed to celebrating the coming year, they have their distinctive characters. i used to assume that christmas is merely about santa claus, gifts, or big meal. now i have realized christmas is also the time to put away one#39;s hatred and to treat others well sincerely. for instance, bob, scrooge#39;s clerk, toasts the longevity and health of scrooge though scrooge gives him so little money that he can hardly make ends meet. bob and his families live in poverty; however, they know gratitude and amicability. hence they lead a full-of-laughter life. in contrast, wealthy as he is, scrooge is as dismal as the dark night. to be friendly——a spirit of christmas——is one of the differences between christmas and spring festival. nowadays an increasing number of young chinese have been taking a fancy to christmas as if it were a most fashionable symbol. but how many of them recognize what christmas means indeed? i think there is no point in celebrating christmas without knowing the christmas culture.

as for the protagonist, scrooge, he is a representative of those who go to extreme to earn money so that he ignores love-----love for friends, for soul mate, and for people in need. to some extend, scrooge is lucky in that he meets three ghosts and avoids ending up in being a wandering ghost like his partner, marley.

scrooge finally becomes a man with great heart. whereas, there are still scrooges in our present society. especially in china, the richer they are, the more reluctant they are when it comes to doing charity. although it is not obligatory for the rich to donate money, the world needs all people#39;s love, no matter who you are. last but not the least, happiness does not lie in what you have gained but what you have dedicated.

to sum up, a christmas carol rethinks the relationship among people, convincing readers that human beings should be kind to each other.
