小说《嘉莉妹妹》读后感范文大纲
Carrie was such an ordinary rural girl at the beginning of the story. Sitting on the seat of a bus, she couldn’t help feeling exciting at the sight of the metropolis’ spectacle. She was impressed deeply by large crowd on the avenue, the spacious square or tall buildings.
Far more different from other heroines, Carrie was not a plain pure angel like Snow-white, nor was she brave enough to be a heroine of revolutionist or even a reformer, nor was she so clever as to be a successful career woman who start from scratch.
What attracted her most, after her entering this huge metropolis was the incredible fineries, fashion shoes, smart handbags displaying in the shop windows, the jewellerys shining brightly behind the glass. She dreamed that one day, she could wear all of these, jogging gracefully into the most luxurious hotel with focused sights of admiration.
And this was not merely a dream. Because she had large eyes which can earn others’ sympathy, even love. She had wonderful figure which can win others’ hearts. However, anything she got, anywhere she reached, had not come from her ambition. Things happened, and then she accepted. That’s what she had just done — just to accept willingly from the bottom of her heart. She was not at all an evil woman who would give anything for the fortune or fame. However, she would give uo something for a better life when her instinct defeated her intellect.
That was Carrie, a girl had her own desire, a human being just like many others in the realistic world.
There’s one sentence written in chapter VIII:” When this jangle of free-will instinct shall have been adjusted, when perfect understanding has given the former the power to replace the latter entirely, man will no longer vary.” However, how many people can go that further.
And I want to quote another sentence to wind up my essay:“In Carrie — as in how many of our wordings do they not? — instinct and reason, desire and understanding, were at war for the mastery.”
篇二、小说《嘉莉妹妹》读后感范文
《嘉莉妹妹》的作者是美国社会小说家西奥多·德莱塞。这部作品非常引人入胜，主人公嘉莉是一个漂亮的农村姑娘，她非常羡慕城市丰富多彩的物质生活，于是就独自来到了芝加哥闯荡、谋生。然而现实十分残酷，她在找工作、工作时受到了不少无礼的待遇和对她身份、穿着低微的轻视，在这里生活很不容易，嘉莉很快就丢掉了工作并且生了一场大病，无法工作的她最终身无分文，走投无路，万般无奈之下她只好做了推销员杜洛埃的情妇，狡猾而又贪心的杜洛埃给她吃给他住，极其大方地给她许许多多的钱让她买漂亮衣服、饰品，满足了嘉莉先前因为没有钱而拼命抑制的打扮再也追求外表和物质的欲望，嘉莉似乎再也离不开他了，然而她的欲望却远不止这些，虽然杜洛埃爱护她，给她许多物质，但她对他除了感激之情以外什么感情都没有，后来，她终于爱上了杜洛埃的朋友，酒店经理赫斯渥，他比杜洛埃更富裕，已到中年仍是仪表堂堂，他本人也对嘉莉一见钟情，为了拥有她他用尽了一切方法，他甚至不让嘉莉知道自己已有妻室，最终他用甜言蜜语的哄骗征服了嘉莉。
为了和心动的人在一起，为了不受到妻子的讽刺挖苦，逃。赫斯特伍德一心想和嘉莉远离这个让他痛苦和烦闷的家，让嘉莉离开德鲁埃和自己在一起。一天营业结束后，赫斯特伍德拿了酒店的.营业款10000美元，当夜找到嘉莉，欺骗她德鲁埃受伤把她拉上了开往蒙特里尔的火车。
可是，赫斯特伍德合伙的生意受骗了，两人的生活开始拮据起来，经常为一些琐碎的事发生争吵。接连半年多的时间，逐渐年老的赫斯特伍德也没有找到工作，也丧失了继续工作的热情。
一个偶然的机会，她找到了一份演员的工作，嘉莉再也受不了自己挣钱维持生计还要养活成天无所事事的赫斯沃，终于抛弃了他。嘉莉美丽的外表和高超的演技使她迅速走红，她成了有很大名气的演员，当然，她赚的钱前所未有的多，她又可以买漂亮服饰，享受物质生活了，以前地位比她高的人也都来拜访她，后来，杜洛埃抱着旧情复燃的期望来找嘉莉，在被嘉莉委婉拒绝后失落地离开，从此杳无音信，当年的另一个情人赫斯渥，被嘉莉抛弃后一无所有，心灰意冷，最终在贫困中死去。
故事揭露了资本主义社会繁荣表面底下的失业、贫困和饥饿，对美国贫富对立的社会作了深刻的描写。只有有本事的人将来才能有所作为，才有胆量跟别人竞争，才可能有丰厚的薪水，不至于失业。天啊，现实社会就是那么残酷!知识，是一笔无法掂量的财富，也是一笔无形的财富，成功之神绝不会把灿烂的霞光洒向想不劳而获的人，而给那些有知识，有胆识的人。我坚信，如果你有了一定的知识和胆识，是绝对会得到成功之神的眷顾的!
