茶花女读后感(共8篇)
500字小学生茶花女读后感：圣洁的灵魂
当我看这本书时，我是怀着一颗纯洁而且神圣的心灵去读的正如作者也同样怀着这种思绪来写这个故事一样。我以前真没有读过这部作品可在我读的过程中我已不知不觉的被吸引，而且已经与想到发生在男主人公阿芒和女主人公玛格丽特·戈吉耶之间的会是怎样的结局，我想说“这是真正的悲剧”。
这本书是小仲马写的，内容也和他的经历有关。我记得很早以前我看过它，好象是在预备班，可惜当时看时没觉得有什么特别的，只模模糊糊地记得一点剧情。于是我打算再看一遍。谁知就陷入了深深地震撼当中。有两个字可以形容我当时的感受，那就是“心痛”，而且这种感觉越来越深刻。我发觉自己越来越感受到玛格丽特那颗痛苦善良并且纯洁的心。她默默的牺牲换来的不是感激而是男主人公的误会，甚至还糟到了他的报复和羞辱。她本来身体就不好，希望能够快乐地度过余生，没想到和男主人公的相识却加速了她的死亡。他猜忌心极重，希望玛格丽特只属于他一个人。而他其实根本无力承担她的医药费，但玛格丽特还是愿意放弃一切和他在一起。然而最后也是他逼死了她，她临死时身边几乎没有一个人来关心她，只有门外的一群讨债的人。他们等着她死，这样就可以拍卖她的东西来还债。
茶花女读后感500字茶花女读后感（2） | 返回目录暑假在家重温了几本经典文学作品，读了《泰戈尔诗集》、《老人与海》、还有《唐诗宋词三百首》、也翻了翻中国四大名著，当然也读了《茶花女》，重温经典与初次阅览的出发点和感受是完全不一样的，初次阅览是在不知道书本内容的情况下进行的，因此读到的每个句子都是新的，重温就不一样了，书本内容已在心里形成了一个整体印象，有些初读觉得十分优美的句子，因为初读后的反复咀嚼已经变味了，比如《唐诗宋词三百首》里的一些经典句子，而小说最动人的一些细节和情节也因为熟悉了而失去了它初读时的精彩动人。所以重温一部作品时是要改变一种心态去阅读的，这种心态就是审美的心态。我重温上面那些经典作品前确实是这样想的，我也确实那样做了，但当我读到《茶花女》时，我却又一次被深深地感动了，因为有了这种独特的感觉，所以我决定写《茶花女》的读后感，顺便说说一下我从《茶花女》中得到的一些对小说的认识。
《茶花女》是小仲马的成名作，讲的是一个很简单却动人的爱情故事，青年阿尔芒在一次很偶然的机会遇上了巴黎名妓玛格丽特，并一见钟情。在一个朋友的引荐下他第一次近距离接触了玛格丽特，但第一次的交往似乎并不合乎阿尔芒的心意，他不但没得到玛格丽特的青睐，反被冷落嘲弄了一番。
故事写到这里似乎遇到了一定的困境，这个困境就是玛格丽特嘲弄了阿尔芒，而阿尔芒因此而对玛格丽特长生了一种奇妙的恨，这种奇妙的恨使他产生一种非常奇怪的心理，他“恨”玛格丽特，因为这种恨而不敢再靠近玛格丽特，但心里却是不平静的，当他听到玛格丽特小姐生病后，在她重病的一个月里，他每天都往玛格丽特拿去问好并打听病情，这是一个很关键的细节！后来玛格丽特去乡下接受温泉浴了，病情好转后又回到了巴黎，并很快又回到了她从前的生活轨迹。
后来因为玛格丽特邻居的再次引荐，阿尔芒又一次近距离接触了玛格丽特，这次的地点换在了玛格丽特的家里。再一次接触玛格丽特阿尔芒对玛格丽特的爱好像谁遇到了风又掀起了阵阵涟漪。这一次阿尔芒没有再让玛格丽特从他的生命中逃脱，也可以说，这一次他用真挚的爱感动了他自己也感动了玛格丽特，这种真挚的爱就表现在曾经的默默问候和现在的祈求泪流，玛格丽特真的被眼前这个年轻人感动了，他与别人不同，别人是用肉体“爱”她，用金钱收买她，但阿尔芒不一样，他是用灵魂爱她，用泪水和关怀感动她。
不平凡的爱情注定要经受不平凡的考验。为了爱，玛格丽特抛弃了一切，为了爱，阿尔芒也几乎抛弃了一切，但对阿尔芒来说，他不能，因为他还有父亲妹妹，有一个显赫的姓氏，即使他放弃了他们，他们也不会甘心放弃他。
阿尔芒没有遵照父亲的话回家，他的事也很快被他父亲得知，他父亲是绝对不愿看到这种事发生的，所以他来了，以一位父亲的责任去改变另一个人的抉择。这个人就是玛格丽特，他也确实做到了，阿尔芒赌气回家了，并在后面犯了许多错，他不久又回到巴黎，回来伤害一个他曾深爱过的人。阿尔芒频频的伤害终于超过了玛格丽特的承受能力，她来找她，求他放过她，他以为一切又可以回到曾经，第二天他再去找她却因为另一个人的先到而被拒之门外，他准备在次伤害她，却收到玛格丽特去了英国的消息，没有爱也没有了恨的阿尔芒决定去东方旅行，在半路上闻知玛格丽特病重的消息，匆匆赶回，但还是太晚了，在旅途中阿尔芒已经知道玛格丽特为他做出的牺牲，所以重回巴黎才会伤心得病魔缠身。故事的梗概就是这样，没有惊心动魄的场面，也没有多少的华丽辞藻，但它却一次次深深地感动了千百万读者，这是为什么呢？我想有一点是必不可少的，那就是真，玄虚令人飘忽，复杂令人难懂，而真诚却可以使每一个有血有肉的人感动。当然小仲马的文学功底也是相当深厚的，语言晓畅如流水，情感自然流露，毫不做作，读者读的时候好像自己就是作品中的人物，自己的情感会随着作品中人物的情感起伏变化而变化，这一点说得容易做起来却相当难，古今中外对少文人骚客做到了这一点的屈指可数。
1000字写初一年级读后感：读【茶花女】有感茶花女读后感（3） | 返回目录《茶花女》这本书我好久以前曾粗略地读过，当时也没有什么特别的感触。而当我再次拿起这本书耐心品读，却发现它是多么好的一个作品。读过后仿佛自己的心灵也下过一场雨，那些杂乱的世俗的东西被荡涤过后，显得无比清新和纯净。
可怜的玛格丽特!你既然选择了茶花作你最钟爱的花，却为何不能像它一样坚强、自爱地活呢?那些穷奢极侈，骨子里却空无一物的人戏称你“茶花女”，是因为你贫寒的出身，还是因为他们自以为有资格将你看作一个卑贱的人?如果是前者，难道你不该活得像朵惊艳不俗的茶花，让他们自惭形秽吗?如果是后者，难道你不该跳出这种寄人篱下，供人寻欢作乐的不堪生活，重新寻找自己的幸福天地吗?
阿尔芒的一句话让我感动：“因为我已经长大成人，不再唯命是从了。”这是他在反驳父亲，为争取和玛格丽特长相厮守所说的一句我自认为是最经典的一句。的确，这也是我们常常违反父母命令的借口，也常常因有此借口而洋洋得意，而对于我们对那些繁杂琐事的违抗，阿尔芒为爱情的争取更为伟大，牺牲也更多。
就如我们不听父母的劝告，执意要在让百忙之中的我补习英语，结果最多也就是一声冷冷的拒绝，而阿尔芒则不然，若他执意选择和玛格丽特在一起，他便会让家族蒙羞，让她妹妹嫁不了人……而玛格丽特似乎也懂得这些，她不舍的离去，为了阿尔芒的前途
如今我不禁想赞叹玛格丽特戈蒂埃。可能她仍有放荡的一面，可能她这样牺牲并不值得，但我们又怎能否认她?她的勇气、善良、爱心、美貌、智慧，有那一样不另我们心折?“茶花女”这三个字在人们心中不该是放荡下贱的标志，反而可能还留有圣洁光辉，因为茶花女她有一颗纯洁高尚宽容的心、一颗善良的心。
这段爱情自始至终就没有一个坚实的经济基础，似乎注定了他们的悲剧。但我认为这并不是主要原因，因为玛格丽特最后已经放弃那每年十多万法郎的生活，而跟随阿尔芒去过那田园的平民的生活。而此时，经济已不再是问题了。还是阿尔芒不果断地去强迫她，离开巴黎，去另外一个环境去忘记过去。而实际上，他有很多机会可以这样做。
不知为什么，我总有一股同情这种人的情怀。今晚上，当我正在为阿尔芒气愤的时候，有个同学说：换了你也会这样做，因为她是妓女。我立刻反驳他，我决定这并不是原因，如果他们是真心相爱的。
我深深为茶花女而伤心悲哀，我恨不能立刻飞到她们的时代去保护她们，希望她们能过的好。
高中生读后感：读茶花女有感500字茶花女读后感（4） | 返回目录一个午后，看着窗外毒辣的太阳，我懒懒地叹了口气，决定不外出。无所事事地走近书架，目光突然被一本书所吸引，也不知是哪来的兴致，我取下书，倒了杯绿茶，开始在安静的茶香中阅读。
这本书的书名“茶花女”我早在小时侯就听说过，印象中是描述一个做作下贱且放荡不羁的美丽妓女。但在真正阅读之后，我才意识到我印象中的仅仅是一个表面，而真实真切的玛格丽特(即茶花女)正在暗处，等着我渐渐地去发觉。
故事发生在法国巴黎这美丽的城市。
翩翩青年阿尔芒?;迪瓦尔一次在交易所广场絮斯商店――当时一家高级有名的时装商店门口遇见了如被众星捧月般的名妓玛格丽特?;戈蒂埃，并对她一见钟情，不断打听其情况。在几年后，他们再次相遇，这回一切都随之改变。阿尔芒不顾身份地位甚至一切与玛格丽特相爱，而这位名妓也为阿尔芒――一个没有财产和丰厚年薪的痴情青年放弃了在巴黎花红酒绿的物质生活，与他在乡村开始了一段美妙的时光。但这美丽可爱的光景并不长，阿尔芒的父亲找上了门。他为了他儿子的未来前途与其女儿的幸福生活，不顾这对情人的反对，不管他们爱得多深多真，背着阿尔芒，连哄带骗地使玛格丽特离开了他儿子。又过了几年，阿尔芒再次回到巴黎，对这可怜的妓女因爱生恨，用残忍的手段报复着她的离去。当一切明晰，这痴情青年意识到茶花女仍深爱着他时，一切已结束。烟雾散去之后，只留下阿尔芒深深的悔恨与愧疚。
其中最让我感动的是阿尔芒之父劝玛格丽特离开他儿子的那一段。那父亲说阿尔芒的准妹夫鄙视他家的长子不学无术并深爱着一妓女，希望玛格丽特离开他儿子，给他女儿幸福、还他儿子自由。玛格丽特听着这似乎诚恳的请求，看着这老人沧桑的面容，感受着这属于父亲的爱，她心底那纯真的善良被深深地触动了。她泪如雨下地同意了，但她的心却如刀割一般。看到这儿，我停了停，深深地叹了口气。
玛格丽特她美丽、她聪明，虽然沦落风尘之中，却出污泥而不染，依旧保持着一颗纯洁高尚的心。她不同于一般的烟花女子，她有着爱心、有着善良，她有着希望、有着梦想，甚至还闪烁着圣洁的光辉，比大家闺秀小家碧玉更惹人怜惜、疼爱。
玛格丽特无疑是热情的，因为她一直在追求这人世间的真爱。当她认识了阿尔芒时，她决定为了他而改变自己的一切。她为他付出，、为他流泪，甚至与公爵伯爵断了来往，失去了还债的钱及几十万法郎的年开销;她为他卖了那豪华的马车与做工精美的开司米披肩，当了那些另人垂涎三尺爱不释手的首饰，这是因为她不想让阿尔芒背负沉重的开销负担，这难道还不够证明吗?玛格丽特对阿尔芒的爱情并非是玩弄或手段，而是一种真切的感情。
玛格丽特更是善良的，当她得知她与阿尔芒不能在一起、她追求爱情的希望破灭时，她选择了放弃，她选择了离开。她牺牲了自我，用自己的离去换来了阿尔芒妹妹的幸福及阿尔芒可能成功的未来，但同时，她失去了真爱与她最后的快乐。在我们之中，有多少人会选择这样做?这样牺牲自我去成全他人，这样宁愿折磨自己只为还更多人幸福，这样果断坚决尽管心如刀割?有多少人能这么做?
如今我不禁想赞叹玛格丽特戈蒂埃。可能她仍有放荡的一面，可能她这样牺牲并不值得，但我们又怎能否认她?她的勇气、善良、爱心、美貌、智慧，有那一样不另我们心折?“茶花女”这三个字在人们心中不该是放荡下贱的标志，反而可能还留有圣洁光辉，因为茶花女她有一颗纯洁高尚宽容的心、一颗善良的心。
让我们高声赞扬茶花女玛格丽特戈蒂埃吧!
让我们都拥有一颗像玛格丽特戈蒂埃的善良的心吧!
读《茶花女》有感茶花女读后感（5） | 返回目录良乡中学于红帆
一次偶然的机会，我听到了茶花女这个名字。心中猜想这位女主人公的模样，她会是纯洁、高贵的吧？否则怎么会与洁白的茶花有关呢？在读过后才明白其中的真谛。
这是法国著名作家小仲马笔下的一部爱情悲剧。玛格丽特·戈蒂耶是十九世纪巴黎上流社会的社交明星，拥有超凡美貌与非凡智力的她是富贵子弟们追逐的对象。自从与青年阿尔芒相识后，阿尔芒的真诚与专一令她深深感动，两个人倾心相爱。随后他们远离巴黎，在郊区过起了朴实无华的生活。这时阿尔芒的父亲为了家庭的声誉请求玛格丽特离开阿尔芒。为了成全阿尔芒家庭的幸福，她选择了离开。而不知内情的阿而芒却一再给玛格丽特种种侮辱。面对爱情与生活的沉重打击，她对人生更加心灰意冷。当阿尔芒得知真相后赶到玛格丽特身边时，她因为贫病交加，身心俱伤，孤独的死在乐自己的家中。
在人们眼中，她的生活是糜烂的，整日过着放荡的生活。她可以被称为是卑微的、放荡的，“妓女”这个字眼充斥着大家对她的排挤与偏见。
但在另一方面，玛格丽特却是无助的，她本是一位贫穷的乡下姑娘，来到巴黎谋生却不幸落入风尘，染上了挥金如土的恶习。所以她不停的寻欢作乐麻痹自己。我想，她的内心也是厌恶这种生活的，只是由于种种原因无力自拔，无法自己掌握自己的命运。在当时，法国社会中的妇女是受压迫的，所以说她是无助的。
而她心中那片仅存的净土，在认识阿尔芒后，真真正正的被爱情所开垦。过惯了奢侈生活的她为了自己向往与追求的爱情不惜放弃名利，与心上人过起了平静的日子。她也是个普通的女孩，拥有自己的梦想，想得到属于自己的爱。但这份爱不多久又给她以沉重的打击，当阿尔芒的父亲让她离开阿尔芒时，我可以想象到她会是多么痛苦啊！她还是牺牲了自己，成全了别人的幸福。因为善良，注定了她的悲剧性结局。在阿尔芒不知内情时，他误认为玛格丽特背叛了他，所以找来新的情妇并对玛格丽特百般讽刺与侮辱，而为了守住诺言，玛格丽特忍受着难以想象的痛苦也不愿说出真相。
在我看来，只有拥有无限博爱、宽容无私的人才会这么做，玛格丽特做到了。我敬佩她的坚韧与无私。
这部作品中最让我难忘的就是在临死前的日子里玛格丽特所写的日记了。那是她在书写自己的心情，其中有这样几句：难道在我死以前您就不会回来了吗？我们之间的关系就如此永远完了吗？我似乎觉得只要您来了，我的病就会好的。可是病好了又有什么用呢？
这无疑是最悲苦的呻吟了，在贫病之时，是需要人照顾与安慰的，她却得不到这种关怀，唯一使她支撑着活下去的是她对往事的回忆与对阿尔芒至死不渝的爱。
玛格丽特·戈蒂耶这个痴情的可怜的姑娘死了，在那个寒冷的冬季，无情的城市。一直到死，她也没有得到片刻的自由与安宁。我深切的同情她。
集快乐、忧郁、纯真、无私、放荡于一身的玛格丽特，带给我强烈的震撼。我认为，我们不能仅从某个方面去判断一个人的本性。玛格丽特确实是个值得人们去追忆的女子，为了维持奢侈的生活，她不惜牺牲了自己的自由；为了纯洁的爱情，她不惜牺牲了自己优越的生活；为了阿尔芒及他家庭的声誉她又牺牲自己的爱情。正像书中所说：她的生命已经不属于她自己了。
玛格丽特没有纯洁的身体，却有一颗纯洁的心灵。而在现实社会中，那些身份显赫，被我们认为“值得尊重”的人，却缺少一颗纯洁的心灵。即使是这样一位沦落风尘的女子，也显示出了人性的高洁。就如同那阳光中洁白耀眼、释放着浓郁香气的茶花，玛格丽特散发着她人格的魅力、生命的光辉。
我在这里对她表示真挚的怜惜与崇敬，愿她在遥远的天国中安息……
英文读后感之茶花女读后感茶花女读后感（6） | 返回目录“Camille”
I read the Chinese version of “Camille” a few years ago. At that time I was deeply moved by the main character Marguerite Gautier. “Camille” or “The Lady of the Camellias” by Alexandre Dumas, fils, is the story of Marguerite Gautier, a young courtesan, or kept woman, in Paris in the mid 1800's, and how she falls in love with a young man, Armand Duval, and then tries to escape from her questionable past. Unfortunately, it comes back to haunt her and she ends up returning to that life and dies painfully and alone, but with the knowledge that she was a noble woman at heart. When I first began to read the book, I did not care for Marguerite or her attitude or lifestyle, but as I got further into the narrative, I realized that her saucy attitude was a front to cover the lonely woman that she really was. She felt used, abused and unloved, until the gentle Armand Duval came into her life and showed her that he loved her as a person and not for what she could do for him. It must have taken GREat courage for Marguerite to leave the life she had lived for so long, knowing all along that it was probably too good to be true and would not last indefinitely. And it also showed that Marguerite really loved Armand Duval for she could even change herself for him.
However, happiness didn’t last for long. When M. Duval, Armand's father, came to her, pleading for her to leave Armand to save both Armand's reputation and that of his younger innocent sister, Marguerite saw a way to become pure of heart, if not in body. She felt that it was her duty, because she loved Armand so much, to do this even though it meant giving up her own happiness and hurting Armand temporarily. She reluctantly returned to her former life, knowing that some day Armand would forgive her. Sadly, she died in debt and basically alone, except for her one female friend, Julie Duprat, who helped her during her illness. She had her journal sent to Armand after her death, explaining why she had made the choices she had. I think Dumas's last few lines about Marguerite being the exception, not the rule were quite true, and I also aGREed with his view that while her lifestyle could not be condoned, we as a society assume that all of these type of women are cold and heartless, while this may not always be the case. A person can make the wrong choices in life when they are young, and try to redeem themselves, but sometimes past situations prevent them from changing their lives, even though they desperately wish to do so. This applies to both men and women in many different types of circumstances: involvement in crime; drug or alcohol abuse; gambling; prostitution; financial problems; poor marriage choices; etc. And this is the fact, which exists in the whole society.
As far as the other characters in the book, I think Marguerite was right in saying that no one truly cared about her, but only wanted something from her, the only exceptions being Armand and Julie Duprat. Of course, the Comte de G. and Comte de N. wanted her body and appearance. The Duke needed to “wake up and smell the coffee” and realize that she could never replace his dead daughter. If he truly cared, he could have helped her leave her lifestyle without “keeping” her himself. And lastly, Prudence was a blood-sucking leech who used Marguerite almost worse than the men. I also think she was jealous of the fact that Marguerite had so much more courage than herself and someone truly loved her.
Last morning, when tiding my bookshelf, I took this book out of the shelf, and a dried flower flew away from the book. It was pale blue, very transparent, with thin fine veins. a dried flower flew away from the book. It was pale blue, very transparent, with thin fine veins. I held it against the morning light and blew on it. The soft breeze carried it away. Camille is just like the camellia, she could never escape from the destiny of withering. But it wasn’t her fault; it’s because of the evil of Capitalism and the hideousness of that society.
Suddenly, I remembered a saying: “Women are like the flowers”. Those pretty women are like those beautiful flowers; their delicate beauty makes people feel they are the miracle of life. However, even the God envies their beauty. It seems that beautiful women always have tragic endings. As we are normal persons, even we can see the hideousness of humanity that results in their fate of withering, we can at most ask quietly in our hearts: Where have those beautiful flowers gone? Where have they gone?
高二必读书目：茶花女读后感200字茶花女读后感（7） | 返回目录墙角里钻出一朵茶花。一个阴冷、黑暗、潮湿、没有阳光的墙角，糜烂是它的养料。然而，这茶花却比别的茶花，甚至别的任何一种花都美丽，美得脱俗，美得惊人，美得如痴如醉。可凡是花都是向往阳光的。努力、再努力一点，在茶花碰触到阳光那一刹那，在它因阳光的滋润而娇艳欲滴的那一刹那，无情的风折断了花枝，让它又倒在了阴冷的角落，无力再爬起，再去触摸那伸手可及的阳光。上帝是仁慈的，为了弥补命运对它的不公，没让它凋零后再死，而是让它保持着美貌离开了世间。
《茶花女》这本书我好久以前曾粗略地读过，当时也没有什么特别的感触。而当我再次拿起这本书耐心品读，却发现它是多么好的一个作品。读过后仿佛自己的心灵也下过一场雨，那些杂乱的世俗的东西被荡涤过后，显得无比清新和纯净。
《茶花女》真实生动地描写了一位外表与内心都像白茶花那样纯洁美丽的少女被摧残致死的故事。主人公玛格丽特是个农村姑娘，长得异常漂亮;她来巴黎谋生，不幸做了妓女。富家青年阿芒赤诚地爱她，引起了她对爱情生活的向往。但是阿芒的父亲反对这门婚事，迫使她离开了阿芒。阿芒不明真相，寻机羞辱她，终於使她在贫病交加之中含恨死去。玛格丽特的爱情悲剧故事就是这样的。一介弱质女流在放荡且无目的的生命中找寻到了真爱，为此放弃了自己习以为常的大量物质享受，放弃了一切能使自己暂时快乐的糜烂生活习惯，只为求能和最爱的人呆在一起。要从深陷的泥潭中爬出来，是要花很大的力气和决心的，况且还要使自己最小程度地被泥水污染。玛格丽特做到了，而且做的非常出色。可如此巨大的付出，换回的仍是人们的不理解和排挤，还有自私的人们的恶意中伤。巨大的阻力最终还是使玛格丽特和爱人分开了，误会使最爱的人再自己最需要安慰的时候羞辱她，这是何等痛苦的事情?也许真的只有死亡可以拯救她。是的，玛格丽特死了，孤独的死去，再也没了活着时的奢华，以前无数的情人也忘了她。生前的生活愈是轰动，死的时候就愈是冷清。
我读懂了她当时的痛苦、无助和绝望，更知道她的牺牲就是自己一生地幸福。可是她没有后悔，在杜瓦先生轻轻亲吻她额头的时候，她激动无比，她情愿用自己的全部幸福去换取另一个女孩的体面婚姻。在那一刻，我也被她那种伟大的纯洁的爱感动了。我感到她像一位天使，虽然眼中饱含着泪水。
任何人都可能有一个纯洁的心灵，虽然有些人没有多好的社会地位，没有财富，可是只要他拥有一颗纯洁的心灵就会获得内心的满足和感动。
故事的结尾阿芒怀着无限的悔恨与惆怅，专门为玛格丽特迁坟安葬，并在她的坟前摆满了白色的茶花。在那一丛丛纯洁的白茶花里，我依稀看到公玛格丽特那依旧美丽的笑容……
感谢小仲马塑造了茶花女这样一个可悲却又可敬的美丽女子。然而，希望那已死去的花朵再次从泥土中萌芽、重生的时候，远离那阴暗的墙角，能每天和阳光为伴，即使不再那么美丽，也不要重复前世的悲剧。
