茶花女英文读后感 第1篇
Recently , I read the famous book written by French writer Alexandre Dumas,fils, which is called La dame aux Camélias .It is French name of it and you also can call it The Lady of the I got a lot from it and I want to share my feeling about it.
The whole story is about Marguerite,who is a kept woman in Paris in the mid of 1800s . After meeting Armand Duval ,Marguerite fell in love with the young man and even tried to flee from her questionable past ,so they left Paris and led a peaceful the father of Armand thought it was a insult to let his son marry with the kept woman,so he went to Marguerite and pleaded with her for the reputation of Armand and his little daughter . At that time Marguerite also realized it was the right way to love her lover, so she went back to Paris, the past life ,and at last because of the illness ,she died in heavy debts and the regret that she did not meet her lover.
Yeah , that is whole story .After that ,Armand knew the fact why Marguerite left him and he told Dumas the story. Dumas repeated emphasizing it was a true story, but as for me it just makes no difference and I really love that story .
So, at first ,I want to talk about the main role ---Marguerite.
After reading the book, you can definitely feel the preference of the author, for example “It will seem absurd to many people ,but I have an unbounded sympathy for women of this kind and I do not think it necessary to apologize for such sympathy.”And another doubtless thing is her beauty beyond words. That was also the reason she was so popular at that time. What moved me most is that her attitude toward the loved and the hated. When Comte asked her to be her lover, though she knew she could get a lot from him ,she refused. When she fell in love with Armand ,she tried her best .
The second role impressed me should be Armand. I think he should take the responsibility of the tragic ending of Marguerite. While meeting Marguerite ,he fell in love with the beauty of her. After living with her ,he did not get a real job but lived with her money---what he thought was dirty, and he even went to gamble. And when Marguerite wrote him a letter and returned to Paris ,he chose to trust his father’s words, and thought she left because she minded his poverty, and did not tried to figure out the reasons . To some degree, in that love affair, he was not just that serious, and even without the interference of his father or her illness, he would leave her after he got tired of her .He was too young to understand what love was and how to
make love work well. He thought staying with her was loving her, so he lost her.茶花女英文读后感两篇
Actually, that story remind me of a Chinese story named Du Shi niang. But Marguerite was luckier than Shi niang ,at least Armand truly loved her. But to Shi niang ,she was sold by her lover, and after knowing what her lover did ,she jumped into river and was drowned.
And this story can be regarded as Dumas’ story. The story soon became a hit and it later was adopted as a script, and the play and movie which were based on the story also won big fame.
And in that story we can find out that love was heavily affected by money , our love affairs especially marriage are largely depended on how much money you have. For example, when two people begins a relationship, they will at the first place think about his or her possessions. It is so sad and shameful to know that even a kept woman know to treasure her love. So I hope that all young people can follow their heart and find the half that they truly love rather than find the rich people that they do not love deep down.

Read “La Traviata” the people must know, it has beautiful love and touching plot, Camille reading 500 words. Good work always give people with a happy ending, but people always tired; “La Traviata” shows to the readers, by contrast, ending in a sad, this is the beauty of a kind of regret and defects, in literature and art is a piece of extensive world. It can reflect people too much too much yin dark side, also display the pure and beautiful feelings between people to us, is a thought-provoking work. “La Traviata” it is a beautiful camellias emotional course.
Unfortunately, the angelic beauty is helpless destiny -- she is a woman of fireworks, also not generally have a beauty, attracted many mercenary people prostrate at the feet, you might say she have to say but I have no alternative against one's will, from her shame, perhaps this tone is too heavy, she always rely on a physical pleasure, will maintain, satisfy their own desires, she never thought of “whole body, by the parents”? She squander money, money, regardless of youth, tingle in her mind, I can not help but ask: this private money really important?
The men side also put up a pageantry of abuse, in the speech, the most intolerable to the ear but abuse them, in the side of “elegant, beautiful” words to ridicule them, how hypocritical! Of course the heroine, Margaret can't be like this for a lifetime, because in the writers of the people always have a period of romance or extraordinary experience -- she and her male the hero of the beautiful love.
This is a moving story, of course, it is composed of tears, sad and smiling faces, and other love stories. They had once put aside all the troubles of the world, a family like life in the quiet, and the country, I dare say, this is Margaret the most fun part of life, but good is not long, is the hero father because of the class concept and see here, I break up affectionate couples, began to be outraged by an injustice: people who work without distinction, why care about things in the past? Moreover, this is Mary do not want!
Why human nature cannot give a little, just a little! Margaret eventually suffered major physical and mental trauma, depressed and died, ironically, after her death, all her possessions to sell the book, “La Traviata” about 500 words. I read it almost in a breath, and I sigh, the beauty of humanity and in the one. Miss Margaret, Christians have a pair of beautiful appearance, but can only be the plaything in the hands of the people, is excited to give you some money, not excited when give you two Cang.
This money also acted as what role?? spiritual comforts or a life partner? Can my heart is really so happy? Change an angle to think, which is the weakness of human nature, people could not resist the money temptation, always dare not break chains of fate. If I were her, I'll desperate to break through the dark prison, I back to belong to own a piece of heaven, happy living in the world, why care about money!
I want to with their hands, in exchange for the inner balance. Undeniable. At the time, said that down is not easy, but death is as light as a feather, than Mount Tai, if not spectacular, but also to try his best to, let can afford their own, dare I say, when you are old, children and grandchildren, you will be a proud old man, your children in your proud
Human nature is beautiful and ugly, where there is no ugly beauty? But do their best, do yourself! This is my book.
茶花女英文读后感 第3篇
However, happiness didn’t last for long. When M. Duval, Armand’s father, came to her, pleading for her to lea一ve Armand to sa一ve both Armand’s reputation and that of his younger innocent sister, Marguerite saw a way to become pure of heart, if not in body. She felt that it was her duty, because she loved Armand so much, to do this even though it meant giving up her own happiness and hurting Armand temporarily. She reluctantly returned to her former life, knowing that some day Armand would forgive her. Sadly, she died in deb一t and basically alone, except for her one female friend, Julie Duprat, who helped her during her illness. She had her journal sent to Armand after her death, explaining why she had made the choices she had.
I think Dumas’s last few lines about Marguerite being the exception, not the rule were quite true, and I also aGREed with his view that while her lifestyle could not be condoned, we as a society assume that all of these type of women are cold and heartless, while this may not always be the case. A person can make the wrong choices in life when they are young, and try to redeem themselves, but sometimes past situations prevent them from changing their lives, even though they desperately wish to do so. This applies to both men and women in many different types of circumstances: involvement in crime; drug or alcohol abuse; gambling; prostitution; financial problems; poor marriage choices; etc. And this is the fact, which exists in the whole society.
茶花女英文读后感 第4篇
Throughout France and China, few people know the name “Al Fang Xenon Plessey”， however, quite a lot of people have read La traviata and have got to know something about the marvelous love story. Al Fang Xenon Plessey was the original character of the heroin in the famous French Literature work La Traviata. The moving, tear-jerking love story was adapted and recreated from Al Fang Xenon Plessey’s experience.
La Traviata was written by Dumas. In fact, the story told in the novel was almost exactly the love story between Dumas and his lover.
Dumas, whose father was also a famous writer, did not live a very good childhood. Instead, because of his special identity as an illegitimate child, he was often made fun of by his fellows. Alexander Dumas, his father, was so ungrateful that he abandoned Dumas and his weaver mother immediately after he got some reputation and put himself into a new, luxury world. Eventually he thought of little Dumas and his poor mother. At that time, he had developed a very intimate relationship with an actress and had just had a newly-born daughter. Alexander Dumas adopted little Dumas through legal way, leaving the weaver alone. What a miserable life she had been living!
Pure and plain as Dumas was, he gradually changed with the surroundings. It was not his fault! Living in a materialistic surrounding, especially under the example of his father, who had lived an extravagant and luxury life, Dumas simply couldn’t avoid been involved in the polluted society and gradually adapted to the shift from a freshman to a bad guy like his father. He, also, began to seek for extravagance, sex and reputation. “What the father look like, what the son will be” is often referred when people talked about this father and son.
However, we know that Dumas had lived with mother for 7 years, during which time he had been receiving formal and integrity education. Hence, even though Dumas was living a dissolute life, he was still with conscience. We shall never forget that Dumas began writing at a very young age, even when he was still a teenager, he had release quite a few novels and poems. But all his early works were not paid attention. It was La Traviata that gave Dumas an important place in French literature. Or more precisely, we should say it was the fascinating encountering of Dumas and Al Fang Xenon Plessey that made Dumas world famous.
The love story in the novel went almost exactly as the real story. The only evident differences are the names. In the novel, the hero was named Arman and the heroin was named Margaret while Dumas and Al Fang Xenon Plessey outside the story.
Margaret was a popular Paris prostitute. One day when Alma was attending an opera, Margaret was so attractive and shining that Alma noticed her immediately out of so many ordinary women and fell in love with her at the first sight. After the show, with help of a neighbor of Margaret, Alma was introduced to Margaret. They had a meal together that night. Margaret seemed to be very delighted, she laughed, spoke loudly. However, she coughed very badly. Silently she left her seat and walked into her bedroom when others were right in the mood. Alma followed her. She was having hemoptysis, which scared Alma terribly. He sincerely tried to persuade her to take good care of herself. Such advice and persuasion may seem common but it stroke Margaret. Never in her life had she been greeted and cared about as sincerely. After all, the two became closely connected and before long Margaret agreed to date with Alma.
We can hardly tell whether Alma loved Margaret out of love or out of sympathy.() Because throughout their contact, Alma did persuade Margaret to take good care and preserve her well. What’s more, he even accompanied her to the countryside to recuperate, as has never been done others.
Intimate time as they had, at last they had to break up. Alma’s father was a reserved, loyal man who would never allow a prostitute to enter his family. Secretly he made an agreement with Margaret which forced Margaret to leave Alma, claiming that it was the way to show her love and loyalty to Alma.
That Margaret died in despair was something within expectation though very saddening. She had been ill for a long time but she never really tried to do herself good. Addicted in the luxury world, she was not capable of drugging herself out of it.
Crazy went Alma when he got to know the bad news. It was really a long time for him to come back to himself. Even, he didn’t believe that Margaret had died until he opened the coffin and saw the scaring face of his once lover.
Outside the story, Dumas also was very desperate about Plessey’s death. However, he did not reveal his emotions. Neither had he written down something as a tribute nor had he frequently been to the Montmartre Cemetery to show his yearnings. But that he was deeply shocked was without doubt. Everything had gone too fast for him!
When Dumas finished his travel to North Africa and came back to Paris, the view of the empty room was so striking that Dumas thought he should do something to memorize Margaret. In only one month Dumas created the famous novel, which turned out to be really a hit to the whole world. Coincidence or not, Dumas was also buried in the Montmartre Cemetery. The two intimate lovers could only continue their story underground.

---Book Review: “Camille”
I read the Chinese version of “Camille” a few years ago. At that time I was deeply moved by the main character Marguerite Gautier. “Camille” or “The Lady of the Camellias” by Alexandre Dumas， fils， is the story of Marguerite Gautier， a young courtesan， or kept woman， in Paris in the mid 1800#39;s， and how she falls in love with a young man， Armand Duval， and then tries to escape from her questionable past. Unfortunately， it es back to haunt her and she ends up returning to that life and dies painfully and alone， but with the knowledge that she was a noble woman at heart. When I first began to read the book， I did not care for Marguerite or her attitude or lifestyle， but as I got further into the narrative， I realized that her saucy attitude was a front to cover the lonely woman that she really was. She felt used， abused and unloved， until the gentle Armand Duval came into her life and showed her that he loved her as a person and not for what she could do for him. It must have taken great co
urage for Marguerite to leave the life she had lived for so long， knowing all along that it was probably too good to be true and would not last indefinitely. And it also showed that Marguerite really loved Armand Duval for she could even change herself for him.
However， happiness didn’t last for long. When M. Duval， Armand#39;s father， came to her， pleading for her to leave Armand to save both Armand#39;s reputation and that of his younger innocent sister， Marguerite saw a way to bee pure of heart， if not in body. She felt that it was her duty， because she loved Armand so much， to do this even though it meant giving up her own happiness and hurting Armand temporarily. She reluctantly returned to her former life， knowing that some day Armand would forgive her. Sadly， she died in debt and basically alone， except for her one female friend， Julie Duprat， who helped her during her illness. She had her journal sent to Armand after her death， explaining why she had made the choices she had. I think Dumas#39;s last few lines about Marguerite being the exception， not the rule were quite true， and I also agreed with his view that while her lifestyle could not be condoned， we as a society assume that all of these type of women are cold and heartless， while this may
not always be the case. A person can make the wrong choices in life when they are young， and try to redeem themselves， but sometimes past situations prevent them from changing their lives， even though they desperately wish to do so. This applies to both men and women in many different types of circumstances: involvement in crime; drug or alcohol abuse; gambling; prostitution; financial problems; poor marriage choices; etc. And this is the fact， which exists in the whole society.
As far as the other characters in the book， I think Marguerite was right in saying that no one truly cared about her， but only wanted something from her， the only exceptions being Armand and Julie Duprat. Of course， the Comte de G. and Comte de N. wanted her body and appearance. The Duke needed to “wake up and smell the coffee” and realize that she could never replace his dead daughter. If he truly cared， he could have helped her leave her lifestyle without “keeping” her himself. And lastly， Prudence was a blood-sucking leech who used Marguerite almost worse than the men. I also think she was jealous of the fact that Marguerite had so much more courage than herself and someone truly loved her.
Last morning， when tiding my bookshelf， I took this book out of the shelf， and a dried flower flew away from the book. It was pale blue， very transparent， with thin fine veins. a dried flower flew away from the book. It was pale blue， very transparent， with thin fine veins. I held it against the morning light and blew on it. The soft breeze carried it is just like the camellia， she could never escape from the destiny of withering. But it wasn’t her fau< it’s because of the evil of Capitalism and the hideousness of that society.
Suddenly， I remembered a saying: “Women are like the flowers”. Those pretty women are like those beautiful flowers; their delicate beauty makes people feel they are the miracle of life. However， even the God envies their beauty. It seems that beautiful women always have tragic endings. As we are normal persons， even we can see the hideousness of humanity that results in their fate of withering， we can at most ask quietly in our hearts: Where have those beautiful flowers gone? Where have they gone?

This book is a real fairy tale, with the aesthetic vision, bright hope, but cruel will social nature of social standard cold sketched out.
I sympathize with Margaret, but I admire her. In the higher education of Armand's fall, while the body is a prostitute, Margaret has been constantly distillation. A powerless to resist the woman on the bottom of the social system is difficult to find a new way to change the fate of. She had to use the body in exchange for money to maintain and Armand poor love, anyone who did not have the authority to reproach to her humble, on the contrary Margaret bones pure a painful cherish.

茶花女英文读后感 第8篇
“She never only with camellia. There are twenty-five days a month, she took another five days with white camellia, red camellia. No one knows the reason why the color changes. In Baltimore Rong lady florist, she was called the lady of the camellias. The name is called.” This is the lady of the camellias.
I feel the tragedy of Margaret, I do not know how many memories of the impulse to cry, actually did not shed a drop of tears. This may be Margaret in my mind. Read Mr Dumas “La Traviata”， my heart for a long time can not be calm. Maybe it's because of a breath, or because the author has had a similar experience, the whole story is very real. Mind clearly shows a la Traviata beautiful holy face, because “her life is a sinner, and she died as Christians”。
Margaret is an angel, she lives in the dirtiest areas, but maintained a camellia like white and pure and fresh temperament, her rich and luxury but not at all. She been treated unfairly by the fate, ask who wants to become the object of contempt for the people?
A weak woman, in that environment, which have the ability to fight? Until the Armand, to bring the sunshine of La Traviata life. Great love seems to be a total of no regrets, perhaps fatal. Not because the burden of Armand La Traviata life, but the lady of the camellias went so far as to cure him of the past extravagant lifestyles and are willing to and he live a happy and simple life dull, I admire Camellia girl is this. Armand was against the father did not shake of La Traviata with genuine affection, he stood firm, even at the expense of enemies and father; La Traviata to Armand feelings also remains unchanged, but she more selfless, she to Armand's happiness, to the interests of the family of Armand, resolutely decided to leave him.
It is conceivable that the lady of the camellias left on the night of the small village, tore heart crack lung of how ah! Most can't bear to read La Traviate last diary. In the diary, she to the Armand clearly all, between the lines everywhere can appreciate she to Armand sincere love, he lost, La Traviata will feel life has no hope, everything can be reported to the end. So she let herself, even the condition aggravates day by day, until death is standing in front of her body, she bent JOM love a Armand, think before he died, see his face again. But death can not have the wish fulfilled.

Unfortunately, it comes back to haunt her and she returns to her old life for her lover’s future which makes her die painfully and alone, but with the knowledge that she was a noble woman at heart. I realized that her luxury life shows her lonely and empty spirit. She felt used to being abused and unloved, until the gentle Armand Duval came into her life and showed her that he loved her unconditionally and not for what she could do for him. It must have taken great courage for Marguerite to leave the life she had lived for so long, knowing all along that it was probably too good to be true and would not last indefinitely. And it also showed that Marguerite really loved Armand Duval for she could even change herself for him.
However, happiness didn’t last for long. When M.

A person can make the wrong choices in life when they are young, and try to redeem themselves, but sometimes past situations prevent them from changing their lives, even though they desperately wish to do so. This applies to both men and women in many different types of circumstances: involvement in crime; drug or alcohol abuse; gambling; prostitution; financial problems; poor marriage choices; etc. And this is the fact, which exists in the whole society.
Camille is just like the camellia, she could never escape from the destiny of withering. But it wasn’t her fault; it’s because of the evil of Capitalism and people’s coldness and cruelty of that society that destroy the happiness and life of this beautiful girl.
From this story, I do not draw the conclusion that all women of Marguerite’s sort are capable of behaving as she did. But I have learned that one such woman, once in her life, experienced deep love, that she suffered for it and she died for it. How much courage and braveness she needs! Suddenly, I remembered a saying: “Women are like
the flowers”. However, it seems that beautiful women always have tragic endings. Everyone has the equal right to pursue their love. And we can not judge how the love is by people’s social statues but by what they have done for love. Although Marguerite is a kept woman, what she has done for love is noble. I appreciate her very much.

Daniel Defoe，the writer of 《Robinson Course》was born in a merchant family in London in 1660. His novels were all finished at his senior age. The work《Robinson Crouse》
and《Mole Fronds》and so on significantly affected the development of fiction in Britain and even in Europe. He was also considered the “Father of Fiction in Britain and Europe”. He was just a merchant before he wanted to write frictions and he had never though about being a wrier. He had ever managed his own business such as underwear production materials industry, alcohol and tobacco industry and so on. He experienced bankrupt and lots of failures, but never gave up until he was at an old age. Where he falls over himself, where he picks himself up. While managing corporation, he constantly participated in the politic activities at the same time. He was sent to prison several times by police because of his aggressive comments on the policy made by local government. The articles written by him were numerous as he joined in about five magazines, which showed his extreme energy. The success of this book is never a coincident that all his experiences provided the thoughts and skills that were needed. It was said that this book had been published many times less than 《Bible》. Now, it is praised as the first full-length novel in the literary history of Britain, which is a valuable contribution to the world literature.
《Robinson Crouse》was created when Defoe was inspired by a true story. In the 1800’s, there was an England sailor whose name was Alison; he once had a conflict with the captain, which was left on a small island. He had noting but sea and sand. With an amazing determination, he lived nearly five years and a half and eventually found and brought home by the famous navigator named Luis in 1771. This event was once a panic in society at that time. He did not do a few special things deserved great respect, instead, what the sailor just did was some things necessary for survival. In general, he performed negatively rather than positively. But what Defoe described was the represent of new class of capitalism which was an ideal hero who announced the importance of work and development. He was against just enjoying life and content with that people should be full of curiosity，the desire of conquer and the sprit of risk to develop outward, which proved the convention of western ocean civilization. This book highly praised the work sprite and quality of persistence in human being, which had created the new way for western realism.
The main plots of《Robinson Crouse》are introduced as follows:
Robinson Crusoe was born in the year 1632, in the city of York, of a good family. As he always wanted to travel around the world by sea, he did not listen to his father’s sincere
advice and left his home, becoming a crew of a ship. They were attacked by pirates somewhere near the shore of Africa. After that he became a slaver. The life of being a slaver was actually tough and upset that he could not bear. Finally, he got a chance and he grasped it and successfully escaped from that place. Fortunately, he was saved by a Spanish vessel on the way to Brazil. When he arrived at Brazil, he started to manage plantation and he made a great fortune. He made up his mind again to make a voyage as some people suggested him sailing to Africa for trading black slave. He was knocked down again by his inclination to go to the sea. This time was beginning of his unfortunate. The ship encountered a big storm that they had never seen before. With six days’ and nights’ blowing and trembling, the ship was finally all swallowed up. No one had a life exclude Robinson who was rushed to the beach of an unknown island by waves. Although he luckily survived but he at the same time faced the challenge he had never experienced. In order to make a living, he began to transmit things in the ship to the island including grain, cloth, tools and so on. With these materials, he started his life in the island alone. Living such a lonely life that no one talked to him and sometimes he did not say any word at all for about one week, he had to read《bible》to fulfill his sprit every day. However, with the amazing determination and persistent labor, he built his own house, gained grain, tamed goats and made cloth with animals’ leather. Later, he adopted a wild man as his servant and named him Friday. At the period of time, he experienced plenty of disturbances until a British ship came here and Robinson helped the captain to subdue the rebels. After that, he was picked up back to Britain where he had been away for 28 years. When he went back home, his parents had already passed away. Robinson resumed all the profits of his plantation in Brazil and gave part of them to people who had ever helped him.
One of the critics in Britain said: “If people want to grasp the sprit that is full of energy and confidence, nothing better than Defoe and ，《Robinson Crouse》. That is, as the classic adventure, doer and colonist, Robinson always has its valuable place in the history of didacticism.
《The Book Thief》
Everyone has the same start that he or she comes to the world crying and the same ending that is death. In the western myth, death is cold and chill with a long sickle in his hand
to reap lives and take people away from the noisy world. The relater inwritten by Markus Zusak was the death who wondered around the streets taking away lives as God told him. However, the death was not indifferent. He used his dark eyes staring at some people’s sprits. When he reaped people’s lives, he could become tender as well. There was one Germany girl called “The book thief” by him among all these sprits he focused on.
The girl’s name was Liesel Meminger. She had ever stolen six books totally and written a fiction < the book thief> according her own experience. That was the reason why the death called her “the book thief”. The death was pretty tender to the girl: She lived a long life and finally passed away peacefully in her sweet sleeping. However, the death nearly took everybody’s life one by one around her: First, her father as a member of German Party was sent to the prison. Later, she watched her brother being killed who was only six years old; several years later, her adoptive parents were murdered by Germany soldiers. Rudy, a boy who smiled a lot and ran like a bird was killed as well.
Planes, tanks, bombs and so many other modern products were much more precise and efficient to take away lives, which made the death appear lots of times everyday. Dead bodies, wandering sprits and the busy death were the pictures described by this book. It was something to tell people that no truth in people’s life and death was the final meaning. And because of that the fiction also hid a question that where was the meaning of living when we faced the final existence of death? We can see from the book that the meaning doesn’t lie in the lifestyle of Hitler which is emphasizing struggling by oneself, standing on the top of the privilege and building his plan on dismissing others’ life. Living like this is worse than dyeing directly. Likewise, the meaning of life does not lie in giving up thinking about life, disposing of inner humanism and ignoring and insulting lives which are filled with weakness. These Nazi people ignored Jews who suffered a lot, which resulted in the final ending that their lives gradually became noting with development of the World War Two.
The massage 《The book thief》tries to convey is quite simple: It is the very reason that we can not resist death why the real stuff is the most valuable treasure God gives us. Every life, regardless of Germen or Jew and child or adult deserves to be respected equally. The girl’s name was Liesel Meminger who became an orphan after her father’s being caught, her brother’s death and his mother’s missing. What a great sorrow for such a little girl who was
only 9 years old. Inferiority, stubbornness, flimsiness and loneliness fill up her heart and she always longed for love and safety. She just wanted to get relief and suck the sprit energy from the words in the book stolen by her to prevent herself from loneliness. The life of Max Vandenburg who was a Jew deserved respect. In order to escape the ethnic cleaning, he had no way but lived a life in the basement of Beumer’s house like a mouse that could not exposed to the sunlight. What he eager for was a life with freedom and dignity. When residents of Hammill Block hid in the bomb shelter for safety, Max took a risk going out basement to see the moon though the window at which he hadn’t looked for nearly 22days without considering the threat from the air. He came back to the basement and wrote the beautiful but desperate sentence：“Stars lighted up my eyes while looking though out the window of Hammill Block.” The rights of being loved, living and freedom combined together and that is the respect to lives. They always shouted to love and concern which has surpassed concept of racial, sexism, age, blood relationship and so on. In, the doer was Liesel’s adoptive father-Hans Hubermann. He respected every life. He helped his adopted daughter to scatter the nightmare, strake her sorrow, teach her writing and reading and give her endless love. In spite of knowing about the dander of taking Jews in, he decided to protect Max Vandenburg as much as he could. When he watched Jews were captured by Germen on the street, he couldn’t help approaching and giving the old Jew a piece of loaf in his hand. He was beat heavily by the Germany soldiers because of that. The same thing happened when the person was Leisel’s adoptive mother, Rose Hubermann who had this kind of love as well. She yet couldn’t know a lot about her daughter’s inner world like his husband did, but she could hold her daughter’s hands firmly while the plane throwing bombs. The smart, strong and bold woman who brought the hot food to Max at the first time accepted him with her real action. This kind of parents had this kind of kid who’s like Liesel. She read books for people who hid in the shelter when bombs exploded outside in order to comfort them. She lived with Max and Bowman’s. They loved each other, cared each other and enjoyed mutual respect and emotion, finally becoming relatives who were bone of the bone and fresh as close as fresh and blood. She changed this kind of emotion as the deep sympathy to the whole Jews.
In, it was the war brought by Hitler that killed numerous people like the couple of Bowman as one hand, on the other hand, it was the people who ought to have
been already forgotten that survived with the help of Bowman. They were “the book thief” Liesel, Max and so on. On the one side, there was nonsense death and destruction going on, on the other side, love that resisted death and subdued death was being created. This was such a complex world that made death confused and moved deeply.

I read the Chinese version of “Camille” a few years ago. At that time I was deeply moved by the main character Marguerite Gautier. “Camille” or “The Lady of the Camellias” by Alexandre Dumas, fils, is the story of Marguerite Gautier, a young courtesan, or kept woman, in Paris in the mid 1800's, and how she falls in love with a young man, Armand Duval, and then tries to escape from her questionable past.
Unfortunately, it comes back to haunt her and she ends up returning to that life and dies painfully and alone, but with the knowledge that she was a noble woman at heart. When I first began to read the book, I did not care for Marguerite or her attitude or lifestyle, but as I got further into the narrative, I realized that her saucy attitude was a front to cover the lonely woman that she really was. She felt used, abused and unloved, until the gentle Armand Duval came into her life and showed her that he loved her as a person and not for what she could do for him. It must have taken great courage for Marguerite to leave the life she had lived for so long, knowing all along that it was probably too good to be true and would not last indefinitely. And it also showed that Marguerite really loved Armand Duval for she could even change herself for him.
However, happiness didn't last for long. When M. Duval, Armand's father, came to her, pleading for her to leave Armand to save both Armand's reputation and that of his younger innocent sister, Marguerite saw a way to become pure of heart, if not in body. She felt that it was her duty, because she loved Armand so much, to do this even though it meant giving up her own happiness and hurting Armand temporarily. She reluctantly returned to her former life, knowing that some day Armand would forgive her. Sadly, she died in debt and basically alone, except for her one female friend, Julie Duprat, who helped her during her illness.
She had her journal sent to Armand after her death, explaining why she had made the choices she had. I think Dumas's last few lines about Marguerite being the exception, not the rule were quite true, and I also agreed with his view that while her lifestyle could not be condoned, we as a society assume that all of these type of women are cold and heartless, while this may not always be the case. A person can make the wrong choices in life when they are young, and try to redeem themselves, but sometimes past situations prevent them from changing their lives, even though they desperately wish to do so. This applies to both men and women in many different types of circumstances: involvement in crime; drug or alcohol abuse; gambling; prostitution; financial problems; poor marriage choices; etc. And this is the fact, which exists in the whole society.
As far as the other characters in the book, I think Marguerite was right in saying that no one truly cared about her, but only wanted something from her, the only exceptions being Armand and Julie Duprat. Of course, the Comte de G. and Comte de N. wanted her body and appearance. The Duke needed to “wake up and smell the coffee” and realize that she could never replace his dead daughter. If he truly cared, he could have helped her leave her lifestyle without “keeping” her himself.
And lastly, Prudence was a blood-sucking leech who used Marguerite almost worse than the men. I also think she was jealous of the fact that Marguerite had so much more courage than herself and someone truly loved morning, when tiding my bookshelf, I took this book out of the shelf, and a dried flower flew away from the book.

---Book Review: Camille

茶花女英文读后感 第15篇
If a woman has even a tiny sense of dignity, she must shoulder any number of sacrifices rather than have her love varnished with venal character by asking for money from her lover. Extravagances, luxury as well as all other empery pleasures are valuelein front of love. As long as you love me, I ask for nothing else.
——Marguerite（La Dame Aux Camellias）
Whenever I lingered over the magnificant story, I cannot help deeply touched by the bitterly sweet love, which struck the world as gentle as an April shower, as pure as a blowing snow, as heady as an old wine. It condensed a paradise into a kept woman's heart, which caught and held us transfixed against prejudice in mind and greed in nature, , and provided a journey that brought home to us a comprehensive understanding of love.
Marguerite, as a kept woman,did not undergo the usual penalty of confronting wrinkles appeared under her eyes, the first death of a courtesans, but was endowed enough fortune to enjoy an unselfish and gorgeous love during her ephemeral life, witch came as a wonderful oasis to lead supply a new prospect in a disparate desert, appeared as a miracle medication to heal her wound in the sinful life, figured as a brisk spring to refresh and revitalize her lonely heart, and emerged as a great beacon of courage to kill all her bad habits in the past and make a firm determination to seek for a peaceful but fantastic life with her loved one.
Lingering between the words, we could completely feel how kind and dignified she was. She refused Armond although she knew he was really loved her with his soul. because of her gloomy despair of life, she did not turn up in his life as a figure who was sad, ill, gay with a giant sadder than grief, besides witch, who spit blood and spent a hundred thousand francs in a year. Touching this words, how can we avoid our zealous sympathy for her?
She bickered with the marquis and drove him away from her family, because she hated and refused to be treated as merchandise. Touching her deeds, how could we deny our high respect for her? At last, she renounced all her hope and life just because another woman's name. What she e although you may get hurt, but it is the only way you can live absolutely. But what she experienced, what she faced and what she did made her a real sublime angle and an eternal ideal woman in people' heart.
However, no matter what devout wish, no matter what gorgeous love, or no matter what strong struggle, the society was so stone stubborn that it would never show any mercy for a kept woman. Just as Armond said, when God allow a kept woman to accept a real love, it is indeed a grant comfort, but also remorselepunishment, for the man holds the cruel authority to say to his lover, “Your love is just a kind of commodity”though the woman had devoted all her heart and spirits to her loves.
It cannot denied that it was Marguerite's joyous fortune to have Armond in her poor destiny, but at the same time, it is also have to be admitted that what a hopeletorture she tolerated and what a disappointed suffering she endured at the last part of her life. It was really too much to her. We even cannot tell what kind our feeling soared inside our bosom, but just happy with her, sad with her, waiting with her, wishing with her, and disappointed with her……
shall we criticize Armond for his foolish and brute deed to Marguerite as he got the same hurt by his horrible vengeance? Shall we condemn Armond, father for his selfish monologue which destroys the kind woman's dream? Shall we judge the motionlemerchant and policemen's actions before the dying woman?
Through the whole story, we could feel that Maguerite pardon all of them. After tearing running down faces countless, and respect rising high in heart and soul, the conclusion seems so obvious: what ruined Marguerite is not Armond, and he never betrayed Marguerite, but the society. There was a slim chance for a kept woman to gain happineat that epoch; they had to come to the same end in different ways.
To every woman, life is not all roses. In spite of bias, despoilment or hardship, love itself is universal. Marguerite really lives an abundant life, for she really appreciated a comprehensive love in her limited life journey.
So, love srongly and passionately, although you may get deeply hurt, but it is the only way that you live completely.
Best wishes for love, and best wishes for loved ones.

Throughout France and China, fewpeople know the name “Al Fang Xenon Plessey”, however, quite a lotof people have read La traviata and have got to know somethingabout the marvelous love story.
Al Fang Xenon Plessey was theoriginal character of the heroin in the famous French Literaturework La Traviata. The moving, tear-jerking love story was adaptedand recreated from Al Fang Xenon Plessey’s experience. La Traviata waswritten by Dumas. In fact, the story told in the novel was almostexactly the love story between Dumas and his , whosefather was also a famous writer, did not live a very goodchildhood. Instead, because of his special identity as anillegitimate child, he was often made fun of by his Dumas, his father, was so ungrateful that he abandonedDumas and his weaver mother immediately after he got somereputation and put himself into a new, luxury world. Eventually hethought of little Dumas and his poor mother. At that time, he haddeveloped a very intimate relationship with an actress and had justhad a newly-born daughter. Alexander Dumas adopted little Dumasthrough legal way, leaving the weaver alone. What a miserable lifeshe had been living!Pure and plain as Dumas was, hegradually changed with the surroundings. It was not his fault!Living in a materialistic surrounding, especially under the exampleof his father, who had lived an extravagant and luxury life, Dumassimply couldn’t avoid been involved in the polluted society andgradually adapted to the shift from a freshman to a bad guy likehis father. He, also, began to seek for extravagance, sex andreputation. “What the father look like, what the son will be” isoften referred when people talked about this father , we know that Dumas hadlived with mother for 7 years, during which time he had beenreceiving formal and integrity education. Hence, even though Dumaswas living a dissolute life, he was still with conscience. We shallnever forget that Dumas began writing at a very young age, evenwhen he was still a teenager, he had release quite a few novels andpoems. But all his early works were not paid attention.
It was LaTraviata that gave Dumas an important place in French more precisely, we should say it was the of Dumas and Al Fang Xenon Plessey that made Dumasworld love story inthe novel went almost exactly as the real story. The only evidentdifferences are the names. In the novel, the hero was named Armanand the heroin was named Margaret while Dumas and Al Fang XenonPlessey outside the was a popular Parisprostitute. One day when Alma was attending an opera, Margaret wasso attractive and shining that Alma noticed her immediately out ofso many ordinary women and fell in love with her at the firstsight. After the show, with help of a neighbor of Margaret, Almawas introduced to Margaret. They had a meal together that seemed to be very delighted, she laughed, spoke , she coughed very badly. Silently she left her seat andwalked into her bedroom when others were right in the mood. Almafollowed her. She was having hemoptysis, which scared Almaterribly. He sincerely tried to persuade her to take good care ofherself. Such advice and persuasion may seem common but it strokeMargaret. Never in her life had she been greeted and cared about assincerely. After all, the two became closely connected and beforelong Margaret agreed to date with Alma.
We can hardly tell whether Almaloved Margaret out of love or out of sympathy. Because throughouttheir contact, Alma did persuade Margaret to take good care andpreserve her well.
