第一篇：《理智與情感》英文讀后感

Sense and Sensibility was the first Jane Austen published.Though she initially called it Elinor and Marianne, Austen jettisoned both the title and the epistolary mode in which it was originally written, but kept the essential theme: the necessity of finding a workable middle ground between passion and reason.The story revolves around the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne.Whereas the former is a sensible, rational creature, her younger sister is wildly romantic--a characteristic that offers Austen plenty of scope for both satire and compassion.Commenting on Edward Ferrars, a potential suitor for Elinor's hand, Marianne admits that while she “l(fā)oves him tenderly,” she finds him disappointing as a possible lover for her sister.Soon however, Marianne meets a man who measures up to her ideal: Mr.Willoughby, a new neighbor.So swept away by passion is Marianne that her behavior begins to border on the scandalous.Then Willoughby abandons her;meanwhile, Elinor's growing affection for Edward suffers a check when he admits he is secretly engaged to a childhood sweetheart.How each of the sisters reacts to their romantic misfortunes, and the lessons they draw before coming finally to the requisite happy ending forms the heart of the novel.Though Marianne's disregard for social conventions and willingness to consider the world well-lost for love may appeal to modern readers, it is Elinor whom Austen herself most evidently admired;a truly happy marriage, she shows us, exists only where sense and sensibility meet and mix in proper measure.

第二篇：理智與情感英文讀后感

SENSE AND SENSIBILITY

The story on Sense and Sensibility happened in the late eighteenth century, telling us that two sisters of Dashwood's pursued their love and marriage.The elder sister Elinor is full of sense and could deal with everything with calm thinking.However, his younger sister Marianne always attempt to understand the world with an excess of sensibility.They had a little sister who was too young to completely understand the passion and the pursuit of love of her two sisters.Their mother Mrs, Dashwood regarded everything as sentimentality who is very much like her daughter Marianne.Mrs.Dash wood married Mr, Dashwood after his first wife passed away.His ex-wife left a son called John Dashwood.After many years, Mr.Dashwood died of the acute disease and he left his estates and most of the money to his son.Mrs.Dashwood and her daughters didn't inherit anything.Although his son promised to take good care of his step mother and younger sisters, he didn't keep his word because of the selfness of his wife.Sense and Sensibility build a series of diverse characters, however, for me, the most and powerful figure is Elinor.Elinor, the elder daughter of the Dashwoods, was a rational and emotional girl.At the very start, Elinor showed more sense and intelligence than her mother and younger sister.She worked carefully and considerately.She was always polite and graceful no matter who she faced.Moreover, she could permanently keep

calm and sensible when she talked with others no matter the topic they talked about.It seemed that she could do anything discreetly.In addition, Elinor is also a beautiful kind girl who was clever at discovering merit of other people.For Mrs.Jennings, Elinor always mentioned her warmth, generosity and justice, although the behavior of Mrs.Jennings showed that she was a silly woman.In order that Mrs.Jennings could enjoy herself at home in London but not receive the ridicule and indifference from Marianne, and that Marianne didn't hurt herself by overdoing anything, she accepted the invitation and headed for London with her younger sister.I think, all of these showed that she is a sane person but not showed that she lacked sensibility.By contrast, Elinor was full of emotion like her younger sister, however, she was better at controlling this kind of emotion.She lost her heart to Edward and never changed her mind no matter what happened to him.She didn't abandon Edward,regardless of the fact that he wasn't good at conversation and his behavior was prim.She loved himthanks to his integrity and tolerance.Her feeling of Edward was faithful and changeless, which proved that Elinor was rational as well as emotional.She owed a clear and lucid mind to control some unnecessary emotional impulse.Sense and kindness are the proper charm of Elinor.After reading this novel, I think, we should have unhealthy emotion but that doesn't mean emotional reasoning.As a person, if we owed the proper

emotion and personality, and at the same time we can control it with reason and sense, we could get the true happiness.Another two novles:

理智與情感英文讀后感

After watching the film Becoming Jane played by Anne Hathaway and reading the book Sense and Sensibility , I feel complicated because it seems that all in Jane’s life, she made a decision between sense and sensibility.The book could be regarded as her real story or someone else’s.Who knows? Love and sense are enemies at any age.There was an important person in her career, the authoress Mrs Radeliffe whose novels were filled with romance, danger and terror, anything her life was not.At that time, a woman’s dream of being an authoress was not so easy to come true.As if the writing a woman did not display the greatest powers of mind, knowledge of human nature, the liveliest effusions of wit and humour.And people thought having a wife with a literary reputation was nothing short of scandalous.But with an independent thought, she made it!

In her love world, there were two men.One was Tom Lefroy, a handsome, social guy but totally depending on his uncle.Another was Wisley, a booby having a respectable property of 2000a year, in addition to even greater expectations as Lady Gresham’s heir.So Tom standed for love or sensibility and Wisley standed for money or sense.Jane didn’t believe the saying “Affection is desirable, money is absolutely indispensable.” In other words, she gave up a splendid home, a comfortable life and chose Tom.But when she found their love will destroy Tom’s family, her sense told her to make the great decision to leave him to avoid a long slow degradation of guilt and regret and blame.What a pity she can’t marry with the one who she doesn’t love even a loved one!

In her short life, Jane Austen wrote six of the greatest novels in the English Language.Tom Lefroy had a successful career as a lawyer and named his eldest daughter Jane.Jane never married in her life.

第五篇：《理智與情感》讀后感

《理智與情感》讀后感

《理智與情感》是英國著名作家簡。奧斯丁的處女作。埃莉諾和瑪麗安兩姐妹生在一個體面的英國鄉(xiāng)紳家庭，姐姐善于用理智來控制情感，妹妹卻往往情感毫無節(jié)制，因此在戀愛中碰到挫折時，她們作出了不同的反映??

情節(jié)圍繞著兩位女主人公的擇偶活動展開，揭露當(dāng)時英國資本主義社會，以婚配作為女子尋求經(jīng)濟保障、提高經(jīng)濟地位的一種風(fēng)俗，重門第而不顧兒女感情和做人權(quán)利的丑陋。如同書名展現(xiàn)的那樣，整個故事集中表現(xiàn)了“理智”與“情感”的矛盾沖突。本書和作者的代表作《傲慢與偏見》堪稱姐妹篇，同樣以細(xì)膩的筆觸和生動的對白敘述沒有富裕嫁妝的少女戀愛結(jié)婚的故事。著力揭示出當(dāng)時英國社會潮流中，以婚配作為女子尋求經(jīng)濟保障、提高經(jīng)濟地位的惡習(xí)，重門第而不顧女子感情和做人權(quán)利的丑陋時尚。小說中的女主角均追求與男子思想感情的平等交流與溝通，要求社會地位上的平等權(quán)利，堅持獨立觀察、分析和選擇男子的自由。在當(dāng)時的英國，這幾乎無異于反抗的吶喊。

人要有豐富的情感，但不能感情用事。必要的時候應(yīng)受到理智的制約。簡認(rèn)為謹(jǐn)慎行事和內(nèi)心沖動應(yīng)保持平衡。她對金錢可以買到高雅生活的觀點表示尊重，但對簡來說更重要的還是人與人之間的感情。這部作品是圍繞著理智與情感而展開的，實際上也是為繞著保持自我的完整與滿足社會的要求這一主題而延伸的，重在說明人固然是一個情感個體，但也需要融入社會。做一個具體的社會人，既有自己獨特的情感與個性，又有必要的理智加以制約，使其能與社會融洽，這樣才能獲得真正的幸福。

理智與情感好比一把雙刃劍，堅持理智，可能會傷了情感，照顧情感，可能又失去理智。能很理智地處理情感，能在情感的一定范圍內(nèi)保持理智，當(dāng)然最好，這是運用這把雙刃劍的最好方式。但是，現(xiàn)實生活中，往往會面臨著取舍時，你是理智多于情感呢？還是情感多于理智？或是像威洛比先生哪樣，表面上很有情感內(nèi)心卻很自私自利。我們每一個人都應(yīng)駕御自己的理智與情感，而不是被它所奴役。
