麦琪的礼物读后感

篇一：麦琪的>礼物>读后感

《麦琪的礼物》是美国短篇小说大师欧·亨利作品的选集。书中，社会上那些巧取豪夺，坑蒙拐骗，利欲熏心，尔虞我诈的“上流人物”，“得意之徒”们的丑恶行径，被揭露无遗。通过他们的种种表现，形象逼真，不拘一格地向读者展现了“文明社会”的黑暗与滑稽本质，弱肉强食与天良丧尽的现实，并喻示在金钱万能，唯利是图的生存环境中，人性的异化和畸变。

然而在众多对丑恶人性的描写之中，也不乏许多使人肃然起敬的“小人物”，让人对荒诞，滑稽的>故事漠然一笑之后，感慨万千。留给我印象最深的是《麦琪的礼物》这篇文章，它让我真正领略到了人性的魅力。

有些人认为钱是万能的，有了钱就拥有了一切，但我一直坚信真挚的感情是无价的。即使你有千百万，那也换不来真正的感情。或许金钱让你获得一些感情，但那些都是虚伪的。当你不再拥有万贯金钱时，虚伪的感情便会破裂，最终留给你的是万分痛苦。

《麦琪的礼物》就是因为金钱而引发的一系列故事。一对夫妻因为想给对方买一件圣诞礼物而舍弃了自己的心爱之物。可惜最后彼此的礼物却都失去了使用价值，但他们都得到了人世间最宝贵的礼物——彼此的真情。我认为他们是>幸福的，虽然他们很穷，生活拮据，但在他们心中，金钱并不重要，重要的是对方的真情，只要拥有它，他们感到比有钱的富翁幸福百倍。

换一个角度来看，假如小说中女主人公德拉家财万贯，即使她买了昂贵礼物也看不出真情所在，杰姆也就不会感到那么幸福了。德拉美丽的头发，杰姆珍贵的金表，两样各自引以为自豪的东西都失去了。他们本来想让对方更加美丽，却使礼物失去了使用价值，然而他们更加感到幸福。正像作者所说：“在所有馈赠礼物的人当中，他们两个是最聪明的。“我想，在一切接受礼物的人当中，他们也是最幸福的。许多人都会羡慕这对夫妻。

也许，有些人会对此不屑一顾，无法理解他们的做法。假如万贯家财和一份真挚的感情同时放在你面前，你会选哪一样呢？我会毫不犹豫地选择那份感情，因为真挚的感情是无价的！我相信真心的付出终会有真诚的回报，拥有真情才能拥有幸福。

篇二：麦琪的礼物读后感

当我第一次看《麦琪的礼物》时，有这样的疑问，麦琪是谁？他（她）的礼物又是什么？后来我了解到麦琪是三个人，他们是《圣经》中，耶稣出生时从东方来的三个贤人，他们的礼物带表了尊贵与圣洁。这也是欧·亨利《麦琪的礼物》中主人公表现的出的品质吧——表达了夫妻俩为他人着想的心。

看过了《麦琪的礼物》，我对欧·亨利大概的了解了一下：欧·亨利（1862——1910），

原名威廉·西德尼·波特，美国小说家。他出身于美国北卡罗来纳州格林斯波罗镇一个医师家庭。他的一生富于传奇性，当过药房学徒、牧牛人、>会计员、土地局办事员、新闻记者、银行出纳员。当银行出纳员时，因银行短缺了一笔现金，为避免审讯，离家流亡中美的洪都拉斯。后因回家探视病危的妻子被捕入狱，并在监狱医务室任药剂师。他在银行工作时，曾有过写作的经历，担任监狱医务室的药剂师后开始正式写作。

欧·亨利以善长写短篇小说着称，他一生共创作了三百余篇小说，若用一句话概括说就是：这些小说都体现了作家对健康的人性和健康的社会的强烈向往与追求！它们歌颂着小人物在贫民生存中美好善良、香濡以沫的真淳品格，尽管不无苍凉的苦笑；它们揭示着那些“社会宠儿”的骄奢淫逸、儿虞我诈、寡廉鲜耻的无耻行径！也就是说欧·亨利运用高超的讽刺艺术说法将社会的本质特征描绘的淋漓尽致！我们通过他的小说，不光能学到其中的>写作技巧，也可以使自己在阅读的同时理解作家的感情，更容易描绘自己人生绚丽的画卷！

看过欧·亨利的作品我的第一个感觉就是幽默，这也是他创作的主要艺术特色。他的幽默格调与内涵，通过小说情节、篇章结构上的精妙设计，产生对社会人生不无苦涩味的幽默。幽默的语言吸引读者的阅读，使读者看后能够深刻的理解幽默语言背后的美与丑！欧·亨利小说的主人公一部分是社会底层贫苦的劳动人民，一部分是社会上层的贵族，这就将社会的贫富两极展现在大家面前，为劳动人民的善良和淳朴而感动，为贵族的奢侈和狡诈而憎恨！我们也必须承认欧·亨利的人生经历决定了小说的创作方向和思想。

我总结欧·亨利有自己的独特的文章结尾，出人意料的结尾结构有时能够突出表现作者的思想感情，他的小说能够以揭示主题的语言和故事情节表现出文章的主题！这是我们应该借鉴和学习的东西！

说了这么多，感觉欧·亨利不愧是将美国短篇小说推上艺术高峰的作家，用独特的结构，幽默的语言，出人意料的情节，深刻的主题思想来告诉我们社会的真实一面，他为我们认识当时美国资本主义下生活人们的苦闷状态，他的小说是一部历史的照射镜！

让我用《麦琪的礼物》这篇文章的最后一段结束我的文章，也使大家能够理解欧·亨利小说给我们所留下的艺术价值。

篇三：麦琪的礼物读后感

这个寒假，我读了一本《欧亨利短篇小说选》。早就听闻欧亨利的“欧亨利式结尾”，这次看欧亨利的书也着实让我为故事的结果大吃一惊。在所有的故事中，印象最深的，就是其中一篇很着名的文章——麦琪的礼物。

初读这个题目，麦琪这个词我并不理解，后来了解到麦琪是圣贤的意思。我就有些纳闷，为什么是圣贤的礼物？带着这个疑问，我读完了全文。读到结尾，真是让我觉得和我料想的太不一样了！

这篇文章讲述了一位妻子为了给丈夫满意的圣诞礼物而卖掉了自己的一头秀发，为

丈夫买了一个白金表链；而丈夫为了给妻子圣诞礼物，卖掉了自己的金表，买了一套梳子！它们的礼物，都失去了价值。

但是，是真的失去了价值吗？那为什么又是圣贤的礼物？文章的最后一句话告诉了我这个答案：不过，让我们对现今的聪明人说最后一句话，在一切馈赠礼品的人当中，那两个人是最聪明的。在一切馈赠又接收礼品的人当中，像他们两个这样的人也是最聪明的。

在一切馈赠礼物的人当中，他们为对方付出了自己最珍贵的东西，付出了自己的真心，所以，他们是最真诚、最聪明的。而在一切馈赠礼品又接受礼品的人当中，他们为对方付出了自己最珍贵的，也受到了对方给自己最珍贵的，尽管这些礼物失去了价值，但是，他们彼此>收获了一个永不过时，而且无价的东西——爱。

这，就是圣贤的礼物。

正是因为他们深深地爱着对方，才有了最后看似遗憾其实完美的结局。

这有趣的结局，给了我们一个心理震撼，但是更多的，是一个真理——爱是无价的，永不过时的，比一切的东西都重要、都珍贵。我们也只需要在生活中常常关爱别人，那么生活的大地上会处处开满绚烂的爱之花！

第二篇：读《麦琪的礼物》有感

Can’t Buy me Love

A brief study on The Gift of the Magi Name Number Class Score

Della and Jim Young, the main characters in "The Gift of the Magi," are a young married couple with very little money. Jim has suffered a thirty-percent pay cut, and the two must scrimp for everything. They have two possessions of which they are botti proud. One is Jim's gold watch, which has been handed down from his grandfather. The other is Della's hair, lustrous, shining, and falling past her knees. On the day before Christmas, Della is dismayed to find she has less than two dollars, hardly enough to buy anything at all. She determines to find a way to buy Jim the present he deserves— she races out of the apartment to a wigmaker. She sells her hair for twenty dollars. With the money, Della goes to the stores, and buys a platinum watch chain.Once home, Della finds that Jim bought a set of combs for her hair, which she had been admiring in a store window for a long time, the money he could use were from his gold watch. He sold his watch.

Della and Jim, have unwisely sacrificed their most precious possessions. Yet, because they gave from the heart, from the love, they are wise: "They are the magi."

1.Introduce

"The Gift of the Magi" is one of O. Henry's most famous stories. The story contains many of the elements for which O. Henry is widely known, including poor, working-class characters, a humorous tone, realistic detail, and a surprise ending. A major reason given for its enduring appeal is its affirmation of unselfish love. Such love, the story and its title suggest, is like the gifts given by the wise men, called magi, who brought gold, frankincense, and myrrh to the newborn Jesus.

2.Theme

Love

Love, generosity, and the various definitions of wealth and poverty are central themes in "The Gift of the Magi," in which a poor, loving young husband and wife sell the only valuable things they own to give each other special Christmas gifts. Della Young sells her beautiful hair to buy Jim a platinum watch chain, and Jim sells his heirloom watch to buy Della some tortoiseshell hair combs. These gifts are useless, in one sense; Della cannot wear her combs without her hair, and Jim, without his watch, cannot use his watch chain.

Generosity

Growing out of the Youngs' love is their deep generosity. Della and Jim are very poor, and yet Della decides to sell her only treasure: her hair. O. Henry shows that this is not an easy

sacrifice for Della to make. He contrasts Della's gorgeous hair with the Youngs' impoverished apartment. The Queen of Sheba herself would have been jealous of this treasure, he asserts, and he gives his readers a vivid image of it: "Della's beautiful hair fell about her, rippling and shining like a cascade of brown waters. It reached below her knee and made itself almost a garment for her." The color drains from Della's face when she makes her decision, and she urges Madam. Sofronie to hurry—perhaps so she will not change her mind.

0. Henry does not show the decision-making process when Jim sells his watch, but he does describe how important the watch is to him. Handed down from his grandfather to his father to Jim, the watch is lauded as a treasure that even wealthy King Solomon would covet. Jim, too, sells his only valuable possession, so that he may buy his wife a special Christmas gift. Della has never asked for the combs that Jim buys her, but clearly he has seen her face when she has passed the combs in the shop window and has decided that his wife, and his love for her, are more important than his precious keepsake.

Wealth and Poverty

The themes of love and generosity work hand in hand with the story's examination of what it means to be rich or poor. O. Henry provides many details to illustrate Jim and Della's poverty. The furniture in their apartment is shabby; the apartment's doorbell does not work, and it is not possible even to put a letter in their mail slot. They do not own a proper mirror. When

Della goes out, she puts on "her old brown jacket" and "her old brown hat," and Jim needs gloves and a new overcoat. Their rent is $8 per week, and Jim makes only $20 per week. In contrast, the narrator of the story makes biblical allusions concerning the great value of Della's hair and Jim's watch; even King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba would be jealous of such fine things. And yet Jim and Della each sacrifice their only good material possessions out of love for the other.

O. Henry makes the point that while Jim and Della are terribly poor by material standards, they are wealthy beyond compare in their love for each other. "The Gift of the Magi" is often held up as a story about true love and about the true spirit of Christmas and of giving.

3.Conclusion

In "The Gift of the Magi," O. Henry uses a folksy narrator to tell the story of Jim and Della Young, a poor young couple who buy each other special Christmas gifts, which ironically cancel each other out because Della sells her hair to buy Jim a chain for his watch, which he in turn has sold to buy her a fine set of combs for her hair. Despite the fact that these gifts are now useless, Jim and Della have given each other the greatest gift of all, which the narrator compares to the gifts given to the Christ child by the wise men, or magi: selfless love.
