远离尘嚣英文读后感(一)
Much of the plot of Far from the Madding Crowd depends on unrequited love — love by one person for another that is not mutual in that the other person does not feel love in return. The novel is driven, from the first few chapters, by Gabriel Oak's love for Bathsheba. Once he has lost his farm, he is free to wander anywhere in search of work, but he heads to Weatherbury because it is in the direction that Bathsheba has gone. This move leads to Oak's employment at Bathsheba's farm, where he patiently consoles her in her troubles and supports her in tending the farm, with no sign he will ever have his love returned.
This novel focuses on the way that catastrophe can occur at any time, threatening to change lives. The most obvious example occurs when Oak's flock of sheep is destroyed by an unlikely confluence of circumstances, including an inexperienced sheep dog, a rotted rail, and a chalk pit that happens to have been dug adjacent to his land. In one night, Oak's future as an independent farmer is destroyed, and he ends up begging just to secure the diminished position of a shepherd.
This novel offers modern readers a clear picture of how important social position was in England in the nineteenth century and of the opportunities that existed to change class, in either direction. In the beginning, Oak and Bathsheba are social equals: he is an independent farmer who rents his land, and she lives on her aunt's farm next door to his, which is presumably similar in value. The only thing that keeps her from accepting his proposal of marriage is the fact that she just does not want to be married yet. After Oak loses his farm and Bathsheba inherits her uncle's farm, there is little question of whether they can marry — their social positions are too different. She is more socially compatible with Boldwood, who owns the farm next to hers and is in a similar social position.
远离尘嚣英文读后感(二)
This novel is talking about a woman and her love or called marriage. Gabriel Oak took the fancy in Bathsheba Everdene at the first sight. She was a beautiful lady, but also a little van. Courting to her was his dream. Unfortunately, she left. What’s more, as a farmer he lost all the pregnant sheep. Now his hopes of being an independent farmer were destroyed. Maybe god has made a joke to him. Because of a big fire, he worked for his dream girl as a shepherd.
Four main characters compose of the story.
Gabriel Oak, in my opinion, he never gave his love, instead, he worked silence besides Bathsheba Everdene. He helped her a lot. Such as the fire burning her wheat-rick, the sheep eating clover and the storm attacking ricks, all of these stood for a steady and long romantic love. Even though she had been in love with another man, moreover, he can accept that she would marry another man for her happiness. As far as I’m concerned it’s not only the narrow love between a man and his dream girl, but philanthropy presented. The story went on as happy as we can foresee. Their shared interests and their long, friendly relationship had given them a complete understanding of each other’s character, and this finally developed, after their wedding, into a love that nothing could destroy. Another man, Mr. Boldwood, also got into the trouble. Since Bathsheba Everdene sent the valentine to him, he began to fall in love with the beautiful lady. Although the valentine was just a joke, the word“MARRY ME” drew the gentleman’s court. Actually he had been desperate when the news that she received a soldiery spread. However, things were not over simple like this. He said his love for her was as strong as death. So if possible he would never let the chance run away. He could dedicate himself to give her happiness. So he shot Troy.(www.52xx.cn)
Troy, a man made me in a quandary. I hated him at one time. Though reading the book gradually, I felt his truly love to Fanny. It’s extremely conflicted. He shouldn’t have married Bathsheba Everdene.
Actually, if I was Bathsheba Everdene, can I realize an honest, staunch man behind me?
