THE AGE OF INNOCENCE

The Age of Innocence is an unfading novel which has been regarded as the perfect one of Edith Wharton's.The author created the characters and refined the materials from her personal experience and familiar environment.Its theme was rooted in realism.In this novel, the clue of Beaufort's fate stood in contrast to the plotline of Archer's disastrous love, which had left the common love story with the profound social significance.In the 1870s, it was immoral for women to get a porce in the American upper class.Ellen Olenska, a countess coming back to New York from Europe, was such a shameless woman.However, her coming back provoked a commotion in the lifeless upper class.Ellen's cousin, May Welland, was engaged to Newland Archer.Faced with all kinds of behaviours of Ellen after her coming back, Archer, unlike other high-society people who thought of her as a over-coquettish and loose woman , quite appreciated Ellen who had the courage to break the stereotypical image.He was never satisfied with such rigid rules that women couldn't express their feeling freely and catch other people's eyes.They couldn't porce their husbands even though their marriage was unhappy.At this point, Ellen's appearance stirred up his rethinking of his own marriage, the freedom of women and even the deeply conservative society where he lived.Gradually, the appreciation that Archer showed for Ellen turned to love.At the same time, Ellen was slowly coming to accept Archer' love.However, Archer had many constraints from traditional etiquette that always reminded him that he could not run counter to what he had been given.He should stick to the old system to keep his engagement to May.He should do his best to preserve the honor of two families, which would not allow him to rebel against orthodoxy and do anything wilder.Finally, Archer married May under such mundane situation.But Archer soon began to lose himself with their marriage's bondage and more profoundly, he knew that the woman he really loved was Ellen.Archer could not cheat himself any more and decided to pour his heart out about his love to Ellen who was suffering equally.Although May already suspected that Acher had an affair with Ellen, she kept silent and told them that she was pregnant.Ellen realized that she might hurt May and her child if she continued to pursue happiness and love.Finally, she chose self-sacrifice and then left New York.Years later, Archer finally got the chance to meet Ellen.However, faced with Archer who had come a long way to visit her, Ellen just quietly closed the window that was open.This may be the perfect ending.The love triangle raised questions of duty, passion and morality and finally ended quietly.In my opinion, Ellen was the bravest woman among those characters for she always lived just like her desire.She, unlike other women who were afraid to cross secular and

traditional boundaries, had the courage to express her love and her final leaving proved her spirit of self-sacrifice.Another three novels:

第四篇：纯真年代

～-6-2　字数：1135一个新的时代已在不知不觉中到来。不知从哪一天起，发现自己已不能也没有时间在某个午后细细翻看经典的莎士比亚抑或是《红楼梦》。通常只是在平庸的享乐中呆呆地坐着，无所事事，来一片薯片，那味道却让我反胃，听听周杰伦，那歌词却是我从来都听不懂的，屋里呆久了，上街竟有种眩晕的感觉。突然发现很少有打动人的文章了，过多滥情又华而不实的文字早已在我心灵深处扯开一道口子，没有共鸣，只剩下大片大片的空虚。不经意间，我看见了《巨人的花园》。五元一本的彩页书，还很新，却便宜得惊人。不属于时流行的书榜，只属于曾经流光的记忆。——书的扉页上如是写巨人把自己封闭在高高的围墙之中，他不明白为什么春天不肯光临他的花园，寒风和冰雪在花园中肆虐，任意穿梭……直到有一天，他在鸟语花声中醒来，发现整个花园都活了起来。而每一棵树上都坐着一个小孩，原本在玩耍的他们见到巨人都吓得跑开了去，花园顿时回到冬天。只有一个小男孩没有走，矮小的他没法爬上树正低声啜泣着，巨人将他抱到了树上，忽然这棵树焕发出春天的光彩，小男孩含着泪感激地亲吻了巨人，恍然大悟之余，巨人推倒了花园的围墙，孰不知他的心墙也已瓦解。从此花园中都是孩子们的笑语，巨人看着他们心里暖和极了，但那个小男孩却再也没来过，所有孩子中巨人最喜欢他了，因为只有他曾吻过自己，可没有一个人知道他的下落，孩子换了一批又一批，巨人也渐渐老去。又是一个冬天的早晨，巨人终于见到了那个孩子，他来邀请巨人去他的花园。第二天，孩子们发现巨人睡在了花园中，身上盖满了花瓣，脸上挂着幸福的笑容……王尔德安静地来到我面前，讲述着巨人花园的故事，讲述着寓言和童话，欢笑和泪水，娓娓不绝。那时候的爱与美是清澈见底的，是缓慢的，缺少舞曲和RAp节奏。然而这些曾经陪伴我童年记忆的美纶美奂的童话已随着年代的更替而渐渐湮没，脑海里零星的碎片再也组不成完整的故事。很多事情经历过，却忘却；感动过，却又抛弃。而我们正在经历的，是梦想的消散与平庸化，是虚荣心和欲望的互相攀比。文化娱乐化，历史虚无化，语言失范化，艺术消费化……正在消解着我们的心灵。在一些城市，栉比鳞次的摩天大楼，趾高气昂的推土机切断了我们和那个纯真年代的联系。今天的小孩在肯德基，指环王，名侦探柯南……的影响下成长。他们几乎与这些美丽的童话无缘。现代人不但对陌生人疏离冷漠，甚至也忘记了自己的心灵。不知道，在这个冷漠的水泥丛林里，有谁还会想起那巨人花园里的小男孩——那个开启巨人寂寞心窗的天使？我想我也许是幸运的，毕竟这些美好的故事曾陪伴我的童年，如今的失而复得成为了我意外的珍宝。旧的时代总要被新的时代所取代，只是在这其中，我们的心是否依然鲜活？

第五篇：《纯真年代》我的读后感

[《纯真年代》我的读后感]《纯真年代》我的读后感2011-02-27 23：27编者按，【锦江岁月】里《纯真年代-怀念八十年代锦江》一文所反映的昔日单纯美好的犹如世外桃源般三线生活和913厂厂友们童年的经历是相通的，《纯真年代》我的读后感。故把这篇文章的读后感归类到913昔日生活点滴栏目。作者：913棋王读《纯真年代-怀念八十年代锦江》一文，作者文字质朴生动，短短数语就能把我们带入到了一个，我们也曾经感受过的那段单纯的、无忧无虑的三线生活岁月。我相较《纯真年代-怀念八十年代锦江》一文的作者作者是79年的而言还要大上好几岁，从出生年份上说作者基本上可以归纳到80后的群体，相对来说我们童年时的物质丰富度比之作者还要差一点。从作者回忆自己经历的纯真的八十年代看，那时的生活单纯而充满乐趣。譬如这段那时人们的娱乐生活比较简单。厂里会放电影，大人买两毛钱的奶油瓜子，带着我们一起去。小一点的时候，我们也看不懂，就和其他小朋友在外面疯，制造噪音。夏天最棒，有坝坝电影，我就在妈妈坐的藤椅上爬来爬去。，还有这段夏天傍晚我们就到山上去采野果子，捉蚱蜢。冬天会下雪，上学的路上我们从屋檐上摘下个冰柱舔一舔，或是用白白的雪捏成一串糖葫芦，咬几口。，这样生动的文字无疑是很富有感染力的。在文章中我也注意到了两个不好的小现象，即作者上幼儿园时某些阿姨就会把好的玩具分给当官的孩子，作者就玩不到自己羡慕很久的玩具，还有就是锦江二村住工人，作者小时候的感觉是停电好像也总先停二村的。进入到九十年代后作者随家搬到了新都，学校的老师上课不讲普通话大约就是一个开始变化的信号，作者开始察觉到人与人的关系开始变淡了，眼看着大人们整天忙碌着下海，作者直观地感到九十年代失去了八十年代那般单纯美好、犹如世外桃源般的小幸福。其实我认为九十年代的不美好是源自于八十年代的缓慢积累，所谓量变引起了质变。以作者童年经历里玩不到喜欢的玩具和二村先停电实的例子，就可以从中发现一点蛛丝马迹。这就好比职工从享有老大哥地位到最后沦为了弱势一样，完成这一步并非是突然而至，显然是一步一步地缓慢变化而来的，只不过最开始的变化尚未引人注目而已。难能可贵的是，作者从丰富的物质生活中看到了精神生活却变贫瘠起来，从锦江不好的变化中朴素地看到了造成这些丑陋现象的来源是这个时代，这反映出一个锦江青年人的独立思考和成熟。总之本篇文章不单唤起我们重新回忆起昔日三线生活的美好，同时也引起我们对时代变迁的思考，的确是一篇好文章！附录原文：纯真年代--怀念八十年代的锦江作者：庄艳八十年代，提起自己是锦江人，倍感自豪。那是一个团结奋进，朝气蓬勃的年代。那里有我父母挥洒的青春，有我无比怀念的童年生活。那时的锦江厂，就如世外桃源，培养出来的人都非常优秀，读后感《《纯真年代》我的读后感》。而我当时的结论是认为锦江厂的水不一样，喝了就会变聪明。为什么会有人讲普通话，上海话，四川话呢，我那时想是因为他们吃的是普通饭，上海饭和四川饭。厂里住宅分一村、二村和三村。感觉上三村住的大部分是上海人和当官的，一村住的也是很多当官的，二村住工人，停电好像也总先停二村的。听说幼儿园老师为了方便我们上厕所，直接把我们放在痰盂上坐着，等爸爸妈妈来接我们的时候，我们一站起来，痰孟还在屁股上吊着。那时的某些阿姨就会把好的玩具分给当官的孩子，我就从来没有玩到过有些令我羡慕很久的玩具。社会的不平等早早的在这个时候就在我们幼小的心里埋下了种子。那时人们的娱乐生活比较简单。厂里会放电影，大人买两毛钱的奶油瓜子，带着我们一起去。小一点的时候，我们也看不懂，就和其他小朋友在外面疯，制造噪音。夏天最棒，有坝坝电影，我就在妈妈坐的藤椅上爬来爬去。印象比较深的电影有大西洋底来的人，超人。那时没有象现在的大型商店可逛，不过我们还是常常去邮电楼对面的矿贸店看看，再走远点，那就是去赶中和厂。偶尔能坐厂交通车去一趟成都，还可以买个娃娃头、雪糕，那真是享受啊。上了小学后，还会怀念幼儿园的那个有滑梯和转亭的小小游乐场，周日就和别的同学一起冒生命的危险翻墙进去玩。都不知道大人有多担心。小学生活丰富多彩，每年六一儿童节是我最兴奋的时候。我们班一年级跳的舞蹈七七号巡洋舰，二年级跳的铁臂阿童木都得了全校一等奖。三年级隔壁班有几个男生自导自演的霹雳舞引起了全校轰动。每年还有风筝节，我爸爸帮我做的风筝飞得最远，但是不高，还有一年有灯笼比赛，爸爸给我做了只小白兔灯笼，里面放的日光灯，白白的，真好看。印象中还经常有各种体育比赛在俱乐部举行。我们那时正刮学骑自行车的风，成天在俱乐部的草地上骑。最羡慕的是有的小朋友有自行车，后轮两边各有两个小轮，怎么骑都不会倒。夏天傍晚我们就到山上去采野果子，捉蚱蜢。冬天会下雪，上学的路上我们从屋檐上摘下个冰柱舔一舔，或是用白白的雪捏成一串糖葫芦，咬几口。改革开放的春风吹啊吹，终于还是吹进了这世外桃源。大人们也忙着下海了。那时从二村走到俱乐部的一路上，都是麻辣烫，串串香。一毛钱一串的莴苣，在红油锅里涮一涮，拿出来后再裹上一层干海椒面，嗯，现在想起了还流口水呢。自由市场生意也很红火，还记得有个卖日用品的老财迷吗?自由市场对面有个蒸饭的大锅炉，我们中午放学会去端饭，还要回家开火门，不然等爸爸妈妈回来就做不成饭了。后来要搬新都了，印像中大概爸爸妈妈们就不会打麻将了，因为他们每周可以去宝光寺和桂湖公园玩。心目中的新都，真是个金碧辉煌的地方。但是去了新都才发现我们进了一个大社会。学校的老师上课居然不讲普通话，害得我现在的普通话都不标准了。同学的背景各不相同，人和人之间的关系也变淡了。我就这样离那纯真年代越来越远。可是多年以后回头再看我们现实的锦江厂，她不知道什么时候也悄悄地变了，她也逃脱不了社会各种垃圾的污染。物质生活变得丰富了，精神生活却变贫瘠。人们忙忙碌碌，不知道要追求什么。现在我已经长大成人，我为锦江厂失去那单纯美好、犹如世外桃源般的小幸福，和她最终的没落而惋惜。但这一切都是这个时代造就的。我将永远怀念八十年代的锦江厂。作者于2005年8月发自美国华盛顿州立大学
