第一篇:茶花女 英文读后感
If I should summarize the story with a minimum of words, the summary would be like that one such courtesan, once in her life, experienced deep love, that she suffered for it and died for it.Most people have this image of Marguerite as always being sanctity and pure.She used to be a countrywoman, but she came to Paris to earn her bread by prostituting herself.Unfortunately, the extravagant circumstance made she lead her life in luxury.As she indulgent with herself, she still felt and detested the huge void in her life.She was visible still in the virgin stage of vice and anticipated a section of true love----she knew clearly that those dukes’ love was a mere sham, what they really wanted was her marvelous face to show how their social statuses are.Armand’s appearance was evangel to Marguerite.She drew an irresistible attraction to Armand and found out that there would be someone who called to have the latest news of the patient every day during herself was ill, there would be someone who treasure up a fastener that she lost 6 months ago, there would be someone who would love her sincerely.They fall in love.The loved each other to distraction.Marguerite attained renascence.She got rid of her previous life and braced herself to lead a normal one.Nonetheless, Armand’s father shattered her dream.She was compelled to estrange herself form Armand, whereas he couldn’t even understand her sacrifice.He subjected Marguerite to constant persecution till she died.(Armand leave Paris few days before Marguerite fell ill, but the pain he caused wasn’t eased till she die.)
I thought Armand’s father’s selfish caused M’s death, I thought Armand’s envy and vanity caused M’s death, I thought Blanche, who had a soul that conceives only saintly thoughts, was unaware that in a far country a courtesan had sacrificed her own happiness to the mere mention of her name, should also take the responsibility.I even hope if M could be a little bit selfish, did not think of others too much, the situation would better.Armand said M was as disinterested as the others are grasping.She sure was.The camellia has withered away.

The Reading Report of Camille
Dumas Alexander fils was a French playwright and novelist, he was one of the founders of the problem play—that is, of the middle-class realistic drama treating some contemporary ill and offering suggestion for its remedy.Dumas fils, the illegitimate son of Alexander Dumas pere, possessed a good measure of his father’s literary, but the work of the two men could scarcely be more different.His first success was a novel, La Dame aux camelias(1848), but he found his vocation when he adapted the story into a play, known in English as Camille, first performed in 1852.Among his most interesting plays are Le Fils natural and Un Pere prodigue, a dramatization of Dumas’s interpretation of his father’s character.I read Camille this semester.I was deeply moved by the main character Marguerite Gautier.Camille Camille or The Lady of the Camellias by Alexander 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.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 choice she had.When I first began to read the book, I did not care for Marguerite of her attitude of 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.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 her.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 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?

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 is the story of Marguerite Gautier, a young kept woman, in Paris in the mid 1800's abouthow 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 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.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 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.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.

第五篇:茶花女 英文 读后感
她从来只带茶花。一个月中,有二十五天她带白色茶花,另外五天带红色茶花。没有人知道这颜色变幻的原因。在巴尔荣夫人的花店中,她被人称作茶花女。这名字就叫开了。”
玛格丽特,一个在巴黎混迹与烟花柳巷的风尘女子,一个身染重病沉疴的女子,一个过惯了穷奢极侈生活的女子,似乎是不应该有真正的爱情的。他似乎只应该有商业的感情,而不应该从中解脱出来,去收获真正的爱情,灵魂上的慰藉。而一旦获得,似乎就预示着一个悲剧的开始。她们这样的人平时只能沉醉在纸迷金醉的物质生活中,尽力掩饰和逃避真情的流露,而一旦确定了真爱归宿,便会毅然去追寻争取。玛格丽特就是这样的女子。
阿尔芒,似乎十分喜欢玛格丽特。实际上,他也确实十分爱着那个女人。可是他那多疑的性格(或许每个男人都具有),却让他实际上造成了这场悲剧。他貌似很坚定地追求着这段爱情,却实际上很软弱。他未能最终说服和反抗父亲的逼迫,尽管他做了努力。尤其是当玛格丽特离开他后,做了N伯爵的情人后,他那糊涂的判断力和可耻的侮辱行为,让我恨不能把他撕下来痛扁一顿。他自始至终没有拿出果断的勇气来追求他们的幸福。他没有在玛格丽特放弃时候强迫她重拾起爱情的信心,而这种强迫我可以肯定玛格丽特是很愿意接受的这段爱情自始至终就没有一个坚实的经济基础,似乎注定了他们的悲剧。但我认为这并不是主要原因,因为玛格丽特最后已经放弃那每年十多万法郎的生活,而跟随阿尔芒去过那田园的平民的生活。而此时,经济已不再是问题了。还是阿尔芒不果断地去强迫她,离开巴黎,去另外一个环境去忘记过去。而实际上,他有很多机会可以这样做。
