摘要

《简?

爱》是英国著名女作家夏洛蒂—勃朗特的代表作写于1846年。

虽然迄今150多年，但是这部作品仍然深受广大读者的喜爱，这都是因为这部作品的女主人翁简.爱。

外在的美是短暂的，内在的美才是永恒的。

本论文主要分析简.爱的美，希望有更多的人像‘简.爱’那样拥有内在的美。

简爱是个孤儿，从小受尽凌辱，但从不为生活所屈服，她有着坚强的人格和尊严。

在幼时恶劣的生存环境中，她学会了如何生存。

也正是她的成长经历，造就了她独立的人格、进取的精神和美好的理想。

简爱是一位与众不同的小说人物，她只能靠自己生活，敢于表达自己的思想。

在世俗的压力下，她凭借努力工作，聪明智慧和倔强的个性，始终保持着自己的尊严。

在她的生活道路上，从来不屈服。

虽然她身材矮小，但是灵魂高大。

简爱勇于追求真爱并对所爱的人忠贞不渝。

她的善良、聪明、独立深深地吸引着男主人公，最终获得一份完美的爱情。

另一方面，她觉得自己弱小这就向我们展现了她的自卑。

独立；

自由；

坚强；

平等；

自卑
