One of the most interesting questions about Gullivers Travels is whether the Houyhnhnms represent an ideal of rationality or whether on the other hand they are the butt of Swifts satire。

In other words， in Book IV， is Swift poking fun at the talking horses or does he intend for us to take them seriously as the proper way to act？ If we look closely at the way that the Houyhnhnms act， we can see that in fact Swift does not take them seriously： he uses them to show the dangers of pride。

First we have to see that Swift does not even take Gullver seriously。

For instance， his name sounds much like gullible， which suggests that he will believe anything。

Also， when he first sees the Yahoos and they throw excrement on him， he responds by doing the same in return until they run away。

He says， I must needs discover some more rational being， even though as a human he is already the most rational being there is。

This is why Swift refers to Erasmus Darwins discovery of the origin of the species and the voyage of the Beagle-to show how Gulliver knows that people are at the top of the food chain。

But if Lemule Gulliver is satirized， so are the Houyhnhnms， whose voices sound like the call of castrati。

They walk on two legs instead of four， and seem to be much like people。

As Gulliver says， It was with the utmost astonishment that I witnessed these creatures playing the flute and dancing a Vienese waltz。

To my mind， they seemed like the greatest humans ever seen in court， even more dextrous than the Lord Edmund Burke 。

As this quote demonstrates， Gulliver is terribly impressed， but his admiration for the Houyhnhnms is short-lived because they are so prideful。

For instance， the leader of the Houyhnhnms claims that he has read all the works of Charles Dickens， and that he can singlehandedly recite the names of all the Kings and Queens of England up to George II。

Swift subtly shows that this Houyhnhnms pride is misplaced when， in the middle of the intellectual competition， he forgets the name of Queen Elizabeths husband。

Swifts satire of the Houyhnhnms comes out in other ways as well。

One of the most memorable scenes is when the dapple grey mare attempts to woo the horse that Guenivre has brought with him to the island。

First she acts flirtatiously， parading around the bewildered horse。

But when this does not have the desired effect， she gets another idea： As I watched in amazement from my perch in the top of a tree， the sorrel nag dashed off and returned with a yahoo on her back who was yet more monstrous than Mr。

Pope being fitted by a clothier。

She dropped this creature before my nag as if offering up a sacrifice。

My hor ……此处隐藏18952个字…… because she was Jane Eyer. The film has finally got a symbolist end: Jane inherited a large number of legacies and finally returned. After finding Rochester's misfortune brought by his original mad wife, Jane chose to stay with him forever.

I don't know what others feel, but frankly speaking, I would rather regard the section that Jane began her teaching job in Thornfield as the film's end----especially when I heard Jane's words “Never in my life have I been awaken so happily.” For one thing, this ideal and brand-new beginning of life was what Jane had been imagining for long as a suffering person; for another, this should be what the audiences with my views hoped her to get. But the professional judgment of producing films

reminded me to wait for a totally different result: There must be something wrong coming with the excellence----perhaps not only should another section be added to eich the story, but also we may see from the next transition of Jane's life that “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you would get.” (By Forrest Gump's mother, in the film “Forrest Gump”) What's more, this film didn't end when Jane left Thornfield. For Jane Eyer herself, there should always be somewhere to realize her great ideal of being independent considering her fortitude, but for Rochester, how he can get salvation? The film gives the answer tentatively: Jane eventually got back to Rochester. In fact, when Jane met Rochester for the first time, she scared his horse and made his heel strained, to a certain extent, which meant Rochester would get retrieval because of Jane. We can consider Rochester's experiences as that of religion meaning. The fire by his frantic wife was the punishment for the cynicism early in his life. After it, Rochester got the mercy of the God and the love of the woman whom he loved. Here we can say: human nature and divinity get united perfectly in order to let such a story accord with the requirements of both two sides. The value of this film may be due to its efforts to explore a new way for the development of humanism under the faith of religion.

Life is ceaselessly changing, but our living principles remain. Firmly persisting for the rights of being independent gives us enough confidence and courage, which is like the beacon over the capriccioso sea of life. In the world of the film, we have found the stories of ourselves, which makes us so concerned about the fate of the dramatis personae.

In this era of rapid social and technological change leading to increasing life complexity and psychological displacement, both physical and mental effects on us call for a balance. We are likely to find ourselves bogged down in the Sargasso Sea of information overload and living unconsciousness. It's our spirit that makes the life meaningful.

Heart is the engine of body, brain is the resource of thought, and great films are the mirrors of life. Indubitably, “Jane Eyer” is one of them.
