Reflections on reason and emotion

How do you feel after reading a book? You can't just read books. Write a review. So how should I write my thoughts after reading? The following are my carefully compiled essays on Sense and Sensibility (5 selected essays). Welcome to share.

After reading Sense and Sensibility 1 When I gently opened Sense and Sensibility in my hand, my thoughts slowly immersed in the lines that exuded ink, swaying for it. The author of this book is1Jane Austen, a great British woman writer at the end of the 8th century. Like Jane's consistent literary style, the author vividly shows us all kinds of characters, their emotions and daily life scenes of the middle class in the English countryside in the eighteenth century with her meticulous observation perspective, delicate and implicit story conception and delicate and wise writing unique to women. Reading between the lines quietly, the sentences in the book may not be so gorgeous or even trivial, but they are fresh and meaningful, like a breeze blowing through my heart. The trivial narrative on the surface is quite intriguing to read, and it is more like the author telling you the information in the text like a story before going to bed when he was a child. Suddenly, the profound feelings are clear to my heart.

The story revolves around Eleanor and Marianne's mate selection activities. There are many representative figures with distinct personalities in the article: Marianne, a girl with rich feelings and pure enthusiasm; Willoughby, a selfish, heartless and morally bankrupt young man; A noble, sincere and steady Colonel Brandon; John, a hypocrite? Eleanor, the heroine described by dashwood and his wife, is kind, considerate, mature and rational. All kinds of characters took turns to appear for us, staged the ugly fashion of trading emotions and human rights with money and status in the 18th century. A romantic story in England at that time struggled in the process of pursuing love, but finally found true love under the guidance of self-soul, moral rationality, loyalty to lover, relatives and friends and emotional responsibility.

Gently closing the book, whether it is the rebellious cry of free love, human rights and equality in the book, or the wise writing of works praising truth, goodness and beauty and lashing falsehood and ugliness, has aroused my inner cheers. However, there is another thought that deeply touches the softest part of my heart, prompting me to keep thinking and exploring, and that is the spirit of love-the balance between reason and emotion. In love, especially for both parties in love, "reason" and "emotion" seem contradictory, but they are both essential in the process of love. If you want to run a good relationship, you can't do without the input of "emotion", and this kind of "emotion" is also restricted by "reason", not just blindly rampaging with a passionate heart. Like Marianne in the book, she is not rational enough but emotional enough. The passion in love blinded her eyes, so that she could no longer look at everything rationally, so she was deceived by emotional liar Willoughby, laying the fuse for a series of misfortunes and pains. Although the author praised those who cherish feelings in the book, he also satirized their lack of reason from time to time.

Its good intention is to warn people not to close their eyes to reason even when dealing with the most passionate emotion in the world, to grasp the balance between reason and emotion, and to appreciate the spirit of love. In this article, the favorite number is Eliot, who is affectionate and does not forget reason, and there is no lack of affection in reason. When feelings come, be brave to understand, don't dodge, don't care about gains and losses. This is an affordable and loyal attitude towards self-emotion. I can resolutely turn around when my feelings pass away quietly, and I can still treat you politely and calmly when I meet you again. This is to let go and follow the rational choice. After all, with this "spirit of love", Elliot gained great pleasure in saving his feelings. Feelings supported by the "spirit of love" must be eternal. Don't worry if one day, the passion fades, leaving only a cold shell full of boredom. Such feelings are also like the "oak-like feelings" written by Shu Ting-"If I love you, I will never show off myself with your high branches like Campbell who climbs; If I love you, I will never learn from spoony birds and repeat monotonous songs for the shade. I must be a kapok beside you. Roots, close to the ground. Leaves, touching in the clouds. Whenever a gust of wind passes, we greet each other.

We share cold waves, storms and thunderbolts, and we enjoy fog, flowing haze and rainbow. Seemingly separated forever, but dependent for life. This is a great feeling. This feeling is intimate, mutual trust and dependence, but it has an independent personality and soul. It is full of sincere feelings and shines with rational light. Is the world safe? Live up to the Tathagata. It is not only the truth of one's own value and life, but also the truth of one's feelings. Throughout the ages, the balance between reason and emotion, as an important spirit of love, has blended with feelings and exuded a touching brilliance.

After watching Sense and Sensibility 2. Jane Austen's first novel Sense and Sensibility was written with irony, but her writing skills were quite skillful. In every plot of the story, the characters are very real and delicate, which makes people sincerely sigh Jane Austen's insight into human nature. The plot revolves around the mate selection activities of the two heroines, exposing the ugly fashion of marriage as a custom for women to seek economic security and improve their economic status at the expense of children's feelings and human rights in British capitalist society at that time. As the title of the book shows, the whole story focuses on the contradiction between reason and emotion.

Marianne is irrational and emotional; Mr. and Mrs. John dashwood are more rational than emotional; And Willoughby is very hypocritical emotionally. On the surface, he seems to be very emotional, but in fact he is ruthless and selfish. Jane Austen praises the characters who cherish feelings in her novels, although she sometimes satirizes those who lack wisdom. However, people who lack feelings and are only rational or hypocritical show extreme contempt. Jane Austen admires Eleanor most because she is both emotional and rational. Jane Austen's point of view on this issue is also expounded here, that is, we can't be without feelings and too rational. The heroines in the story all pursue equal exchanges and communication with men's thoughts and feelings, demand equal rights in social status, and insist on the freedom to choose a partner. This should be a rebellious act in Britain at that time.

Reason and emotion are like a double-edged sword. Sticking to reason may hurt feelings. If you take care of it, you may lose your mind again. It is of course the best to be able to handle emotions rationally and remain rational within a certain emotional range. This is the best way to use this double-edged sword. However, in real life, when you are often faced with trade-offs, are you more rational than emotional? Or does emotion prevail over reason? Or, like Mr. Willoughby, emotional on the surface and selfish on the inside. So I hope that each of us can control our own reason and emotions instead of being enslaved by it.

After watching Sense and Sensibility 3. After reading Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility, it should be said that it should be rewritten. But it is enough for me to know and understand the whole story of this book. This is an interesting novel about love, and the dramatic ending is even more imaginative.

The hero of the story, whether Eleanor, who is full of reason and self-control, or Marianne, who is full of emotion and lively and lovely, has experienced a lot in the journey of love and finally gained their own happy love and marriage. All the characters around the protagonist have distinct personalities, but they are more or less mixed with unpleasant but real human weaknesses. Their various marriage roles, combined with the final seemingly dzogchen ending, untied the corner of the veil of marriage and love in the world for us.

Love and marriage are not as harmonious as people think on the balance of reality. On the back of marriage, camels have all kinds of weights, and love is just one of them. Love, property, status, future ... and their difference may lie in their different roles and scenes on the marriage stage. When love dominates, such a marriage seems to be close to the prince and princess in fairy tales, and they live happily together forever, and accidental happiness will make this happiness and sweetness more long-term and stable, thus becoming the sustenance and model of the world's beautiful love ideal, just like Eleanor and Edward!

When other weights play a leading role, people will also give some understanding and even a little sympathy to the vision and existence of secular reality, that is, the reasonable theory. And this kind of situation will often fulfill the old saying: "radish and vegetables, each has his own love!" " "This can be said to be a * * * win in the field of marriage, but compared with the * * * win like a perfect match, this" * * * win "seems a bit too much for Ba Liren, but it is not a despicable reputation. This collocation is more realistic and common, so it can be understood and acquiesced by ordinary people. Otherwise, many people are undoubtedly shooting themselves in the foot, just like Willoughby and Miss Gray in the story. Willoughby covets Miss Gray's property, while Miss Gray is fascinated by Willoughby's beauty. Of course, this is the "turtle secretly loves mung beans" on the general level, but on a higher level, it is the same temperament and smell. The reason why we use the word "like-minded" is, of course, a combination of human weaknesses and defects. Just like John dashwood and Fanny dashwood, the couple are also stingy, snobbish and selfish, but the former is reserved and unobtrusive, while the latter is self-righteous and complacent.

Therefore, the wife's undisguised selfish proposal will immediately be highly recognized by her husband, and she is really a "model couple" who "sings with her husband". However, this kind of marriage does not lack feelings. Although feelings play a minor supporting role, debugging cocktails like servants, they occasionally add a little passion and ambiguity to a tense marriage. However, if both parties' goals are satisfied by marriage, both parties' mood and body will be comforted comfortably, and it will be logical to complete the mission and obligation of love in marriage in boredom. There is a saying: "Love can be cultivated slowly in marriage." Although it originated from the traditional kidnapping marriage of "parents' orders, matchmakers' words" in China, and although it is somewhat contrary to the conclusion of the law of decreasing love power ratio drawn from modern scientific research (perhaps they are not exactly the same thing, but I believe there must be some overlap), many fruits of free love and both sides who cultivate this fruit in the world have resolutely practiced this old proverb. From this, we have to be surprised to find an interesting phenomenon: when people's love and marriage are kidnapped by external forces, everyone is fighting tenaciously, but when people regain their free choice of love and marriage, most people suddenly fall into confusion and don't know the way back to love. After experiencing the chaos and confusion in The Prince and the Dancer, he willingly threw himself into the rope of fame and fortune and bound himself.

If someone says, "Every relationship I have experienced is sincere, and everyone once thought that this relationship I embraced in my arms was the only one in my life, that is, eternal love in my life, but …" I believe he is an honest man, "but", just like the turning point in his words, I can use the love of a secular person. Moreover, what I want to say is, please don't be too far away from the paradise of love, otherwise, marriage can't cultivate love, and the final harvest is likely to be the bitter fruit of sin.

Perhaps the perfect combination of love and marriage, or their deviation, is an extreme accident in a very small proportion of love stories in the world. Even the omnipotent dialectics will not admit the legitimacy of the two extremes, so in most cases it is a situation between the two. Once you step into the besieged city of marriage, you must try your best to consolidate and defend * * *, and to complete this project, you need an organic combination of hardware and software, that is, managing love and marriage. Unless falling in love and getting married is not the real purpose, but playing hooligans.

Managing marriage and defending love is an eternal topic that every couple has never tried but has to plan, and it is also a topic that every couple has faced but has to explore sincerely. All the marriage teaching plans in the world will make you understand that marriage needs passion and emotion, but also needs reason and wisdom. The former is a lubricant and the latter is a stabilizer. Love can be exclusive to two people, but most marriages are far beyond the world of two people (here, it is proved by syllogism that love is at least a matter of two people, and people are the sum of all social relations, so love or marriage is not just a matter of two people). It is precisely because of the particularity and reality of marriage that more rationality and wisdom are needed. This kind of reason and wisdom is to lengthen and broaden love as much as possible in the running-in of life, to transform the initial passion and fanaticism into mutual dependence, support and entrustment, and to precipitate the beautiful encounter that once passed by into an eternal family relationship with blood thicker than water. Love plans the meeting, acquaintance and love of two people, and marriage really condenses this fate and love into eternal love.

Reason and emotion are lovely twin sisters in human nature. In marriage and love, no matter which aspect of your personality you have more, whether in love or marriage, reason and emotion will always accompany you. It seems that in real life, emotions are always in a weak position, because life teaches people to restrain their emotions rationally, but perhaps this is a misunderstanding. The real purpose of life is to achieve a balance between the two, or to play their roles moderately. What we need to cultivate is to learn to deal with the corresponding life scenes with appropriate reason and emotion.

After reading Sense and Sensibility, I finally finished Sense and Sensibility on this day. How can I put it? I feel empty and a little lost. It's like a person has been chasing something, and suddenly that thing is gone. This is how I feel at this moment.

Let's talk about this novel again. It abandoned the feelings, affection, friendship and people's hearts in that social background. Although it is the ending of comedy, it also gives people a lot of pressure. This novel revolves around the "triangle" relationship between Eleanor and Marianne. Eleanor loved Edward, but her sister-in-law stopped her. She thinks her brother will marry a noble lady with property. She fainted with anger when she heard that Edward was engaged to Lucy, who was even inferior to Eleanor. This is a society where money measures people's value and feelings are nothing. Mrs. John is obviously a typical representative who is more rational and less emotional. On the other hand, Mr. John is more indifferent to his family. He promised his dead father to take care of his widowed mother and two sisters, but in the end he drove them away to save money. It's all about money.

Edward was obviously engaged to Lucy, but he had an affair with Eleanor, which caused Eleanor great pain afterwards. On the other hand, Lucy is a sly girl. When she heard the news that Eleanor loved Edward, she deliberately made friends with her and pretended to trust her and told her the fact that she was engaged to Edward. This is undoubtedly adding salt to Eleanor's wound. Lucy showed off in front of Eleanor under the guise of friendship. At the same time, she also showed her ignorance, strength and rhetoric. Eleanor must be a person whose reason transcends her feelings. She controls her emotions well and doesn't let her family worry, but her ego is undoubtedly painful. Therefore, a girl who is too rational is hard to be loved, just because she makes people feel distressed.

On the contrary, my sister Marianne, a romantic fantasy about feelings, thinks that life is incomplete without romantic feelings. In the relationship with Willoughby, she gave him all her feelings. After learning that she was abandoned, she got into trouble, avoided the crowd and hid in the corner all day. For a romantic girl, the reality can undoubtedly make her grow up quickly. Only after experiencing pain can she realize that in her mind, the world is not an ivory tower. Willoughby always idled and lived in luxury, and finally married a girl with property under the pressure of bankruptcy. He has only a beautiful appearance, but his heart is empty.

Everyone in the story chooses their own life, but their values are gradually formed under the influence of this social environment. Should we condemn their coldness and hypocrisy or sympathize with them? How to choose reason and emotion?

British scholar walpole has a famous saying: "The world understood by reason is comedy, and the world understood by emotion is tragedy." As far as this novel is concerned, it is undoubtedly related to the theme, but I can't agree with it in real life. If life can only rely on rational constraints and lacks impulsive passion, then life will lose a lot of fun. A person's life is not the length, but whether he has lived happily. Sanmao also said: "I want to be a garbage collector when I grow up ... The garbage dump in the eyes of garbage collectors is the most charming garden in the world. Because of this profession, I can not only breathe fresh air, but also wander around the street and play while working, as free and happy as a bird in the sky. More importantly, people often unconsciously throw away many good things that can still be used as garbage. The happiest moment for scavengers is to dig up these good things that have been dusty for a long time. This ..... "Such a free and easy life and mentality can never be understood by a rational person.

Comment on Sense and Sensibility 5 Sense and Sensibility has created a series of characters, each with his own unique personality. However, as far as readers are concerned, the author wants to focus on the two sisters of dashwood's family.

Eleanor, the eldest daughter of dashwood family, is a sensible and sensible girl. From the beginning of the story, it shows that she is smarter and more rational than her mother and sister. Eleanor is meticulous, thoughtful and clever. Whether Edward he loves or Lucy he hates, she can be polite in front of everyone. Moreover, no matter what topics Eleanor is curious about, likes and dislikes, when we discuss together, she always keeps the necessary calmness and deliberation, and neither shows abnormal excessive concern nor makes everyone think that she is a disappointing protagonist. Elinor is always so measured and decent in everything.

Besides, Eleanor is a kind girl who is good at finding advantages from others and thinking of others. As for Mrs. Jennings, although her behavior fully shows her lack of brains, Eleanor always talks about her enthusiasm, generosity and justice in front of her brothers and sisters. And for the sake of Mrs. Jennings' comfortable time at home in London, not being laughed at and indifferent by Marianne, and for the sake of Marianne's not doing anything to hurt herself excessively, although she didn't want to, she agreed to understand the invitation and go with her sister. All the above shows Eleanor's rational mind, but it doesn't mean that she is a person who lacks sensibility.

On the contrary, Elinor, like her sister, has an emotional heart, but she is better at controlling this emotion. No matter what happened to Edward, her love for him never changed. She didn't abandon Edward because he was inarticulate, dull and melancholy, and others accused him. She took a fancy to his integrity, honesty, stability and tolerance, and expressed her grievance at the unfair treatment he received at home and sympathy for his unfortunate first engagement. And think of Edward all the time, trying to make his situation better. Eleanor fell in love with Edward even after hearing that he was engaged. Even if she tried to hide the news after learning it, it is not difficult to see that it was a great blow to her. It can be seen that her feelings for Edward are strong, loyal, practical and unchangeable. This proves that Elinor is not only rational, but also has an emotional heart. And have a clear and rational mind, always remind her to restrain some unnecessary emotional impulses. Reason, kindness and wit are her unique charm.

Compared with Eleanor, whose intellectual thinking is developed, her sister Marianne is much more emotional. Comparing the two heroines in China's famous Dream of Red Mansions, if Eleanor is compared to Xue Baochai, then Marianne deserves to be Lin Daiyu. Smart, but too sentimental Seeing the fallen leaves and bleak autumn, Marianne will feel a kind of sadness lingering in her heart, just like Daiyu who buried flowers at the beginning. Marianne always holds romantic fantasies about feelings, always wants to marry the only thrill with "outstanding personality and charming demeanor", and always pursues vigorous and romantic feelings. The expression of feelings is so straightforward and obvious that it has been teased by Mrs. Jennings many times. Unlike Eleanor, Marianne's emotional outlook in social life is very similar to hers. She is very warm and caring for those who love her, and it is difficult to treat people who don't love her with even the least courtesy. She is always sarcastic.

This kind of emotion may be the most respected emotional view at that time, but Jane fully explained the inappropriateness of this emotional view with the help of Marianne. Marianne was finally abandoned by Willoughby, and fell into the abyss of pain under the control of their arrogant emotional view, unable to extricate herself and almost lost her life, which also brought unavoidable pain to her brothers, sisters and family. This is the disadvantage of being too emotional. But aside from Marianne's shortcomings of "emotional excess and lack of reason", she is also a very good girl. Marianne is smart and has a sense of justice. She always gives you a rude response to the attacks of selfish and cunning forces. She loves reading, full of thoughts and thoughts, which is different from ordinary people who lack common sense. Marianne loves her mother and sisters very much. No matter whether she is over-emotional, or she is taught a lesson and eventually becomes rational, she doesn't want her brothers and sisters, especially her relatives, to feel pain and anxiety because of her. And, after becoming rational, try to make up for the damage caused by being too emotional. As the story goes, "once Marianne realizes what she has done wrong, she will make up for it with all her actions." She is really a good girl, isn't she?

After talking about the two heroines in the story, let's talk about a girl who also has a beautiful face and a rational mind. She is Lucy. Mrs. Jennings' relative Steele was Edward's first engagement partner. This young lady is not as emotional as Marianne, nor as rational and kind-hearted as Eleanor. Emotionally, she is penniless, intellectually, she can only be called rich. She is a cold and selfish person. Everything you do in the office looks sensible and emotional, but it is actually full of crooked ways and hypocrisy. She doesn't have much property. In order to live a rich life, she was engaged to Edward first. When Edward was disinherited, she abandoned her inheritance and married Edward's younger brother. At the same time, she always maliciously slanders Elinor to satisfy her jealousy, pretending to be extremely poor and innocent on the surface. Fortunately, Elinor can give a humble counterattack every time, which makes Lucy unable to succeed. It's so comforting to watch. Lucy is good at flattery and has won the favor of many people. She is regarded as the apple of her eye. But to ask who she really loves and admires, I took out the money and there was no one else.

Through these three people, the author must have expressed his views clearly. People should have rich emotions, but they should not be emotional. When necessary, use reason to limit. Jane thinks caution and inner impulse should be balanced. She respects the idea that money can buy an elegant life, but what is more important to Jane is the feelings between people. This work revolves around reason and emotion, and actually revolves around the theme of continuous self-integrity and meeting social requirements. The key point is that although people are emotional individuals, they also need to integrate into society. As a concrete social person, one must have one's own unique emotion and personality, and be bound by the necessary rationality, so as to live in harmony with society, and only in this way can one get real pleasure.

This is a happy ending. At the moment when reason triumphs over emotion, everyone gets the happiness they deserve. ...
