第一篇:《理智与情感》英文读后感
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 “loves 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:理智与情感英文读后感
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:

理智与情感英文读后感
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.

《理智与情感》读后感
《理智与情感》是英国著名作家简。奥斯丁的处女作。埃莉诺和玛丽安两姐妹生在一个体面的英国乡绅家庭,姐姐善于用理智来控制情感,妹妹却往往情感毫无节制,因此在恋爱中碰到挫折时,她们作出了不同的反映„„
情节围绕着两位女主人公的择偶活动展开,揭露当时英国资本主义社会,以婚配作为女子寻求经济保障、提高经济地位的一种风俗,重门第而不顾儿女感情和做人权利的丑陋。如同书名展现的那样,整个故事集中表现了“理智”与“情感”的矛盾冲突。本书和作者的代表作《傲慢与偏见》堪称姐妹篇,同样以细腻的笔触和生动的对白叙述没有富裕嫁妆的少女恋爱结婚的故事。着力揭示出当时英国社会潮流中,以婚配作为女子寻求经济保障、提高经济地位的恶习,重门第而不顾女子感情和做人权利的丑陋时尚。小说中的女主角均追求与男子思想感情的平等交流与沟通,要求社会地位上的平等权利,坚持独立观察、分析和选择男子的自由。在当时的英国,这几乎无异于反抗的呐喊。
人要有丰富的情感,但不能感情用事。必要的时候应受到理智的制约。简认为谨慎行事和内心冲动应保持平衡。她对金钱可以买到高雅生活的观点表示尊重,但对简来说更重要的还是人与人之间的感情。这部作品是围绕着理智与情感而展开的,实际上也是为绕着保持自我的完整与满足社会的要求这一主题而延伸的,重在说明人固然是一个情感个体,但也需要融入社会。做一个具体的社会人,既有自己独特的情感与个性,又有必要的理智加以制约,使其能与社会融洽,这样才能获得真正的幸福。
理智与情感好比一把双刃剑,坚持理智,可能会伤了情感,照顾情感,可能又失去理智。能很理智地处理情感,能在情感的一定范围内保持理智,当然最好,这是运用这把双刃剑的最好方式。但是,现实生活中,往往会面临着取舍时,你是理智多于情感呢?还是情感多于理智?或是像威洛比先生哪样,表面上很有情感内心却很自私自利。我们每一个人都应驾御自己的理智与情感,而不是被它所奴役。
