《Washington Square》的读后感

When I first came cross this book ,I had not thought that it is a love story .After finished this book ,I have sympathy for the main character--Catherine.She was born in a wealth family ,her father is a flourish person with elegance and wisdom.He proposes to himself to make the best of her.Catherine 'aunt ,Mrs .Penniman,take care of her in her grown time.When she is 20 years old ,a gentleman named Morris Townsend pursuits her .However ,her father looks deep in him with his experience and concludes that he is a selfish man who just care about his daughter 'money .Therefore, he against Catherine connecting him any more. During this time ,her aunt interferes in their relationship, helping Morris Townsend secretly.

As time passes ,Catherine still has strong feeling for Morris Townsend and determines to engages with him ,ignore her father' will. Her father declares that she will not receive any money from him,of course Morris knows this news and he is disappointed that his dream falls apart ,he breaks up the engagement with Catherine. Catherine is heartbroken ,she has done all the things she can do.From them on ,she regulates her days upon a system of her own ,interested herself in charity organizations,hospitals and aid societies,she gains honor among people.Through all her life ,she does not get married ,her father has passed away.Morris comes back without any success,he wants to have her back.How much has her lived ,she has known whose the person he is.She refuses,picking up her piece of fancy work ,has seated herself with it again ---for life ,as it were.

There is something common in our life ,Catherine has devoted all her life to this painful love ,she loves the wrong man,she has not efforts to love another person.This is a sensible story which touches me a lot.Something in this world can not be explained.Life teaches us everything.

《华盛顿广场》：十九世纪美国婚恋悲剧故事。

这部发生在十九世纪美国纽约，主题为爱情婚姻的小说，其结局不妨用海明威的一部短篇小说集的书名来概括：赢家一无所得。作为父亲的斯泼洛医生固然以他的精明与冷漠，成功阻挠了女儿凯瑟琳和别有用心的莫里斯·汤森德的结合，但也断送了女儿一生的幸福。受到父亲和情人双重伤害的凯瑟琳因此而心灰意冷，不再相信爱情，最终是选择了孤独终老。

其实，斯泼洛医生虽然过于冷酷无情，但说不上有错；而凯瑟琳爱上一个一心想染指她的财产的男子，也可以说没有错。错就错在爱情是盲目的，让她喜欢上了一个不值得她去爱的人。也许斯泼洛医生应该成全自己的女儿，让她和虚伪的莫里斯结婚，那么凯瑟琳就会成为一个幸福的女人，尽管这种幸福可能是极为短暂的，因为莫里斯随时会原形毕露。

此书有着英国作家简·奥斯汀小说的风格痕迹（毕竟简·奥斯汀擅长这类婚恋题材作品，如她的代表作《傲慢与偏见》即是），但据说亨利·詹姆斯对简·奥斯汀并无特别推崇之意。尽管并非亨利·詹姆斯的经典之作，这部小说还是被导演格涅丝卡·霍兰看中，拍成了电影，1997年在美国上映。
