Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

The Victorian Era encompassed a time of great discrepancy between the sexes, especially for women. The polarization of gender roles reflected on a basis of gender sexuality where men and women were granted certain advantages and disadvantages. Women were expected to realize a specific position in society based on morals of submission, passivity, and a complete lack of selfishness and independence. Constrictive notions such as these prevent individual expression and expansion. Therefore, while struggling to fill the pre-conceived expectancies of society, one forces true desires and happiness to pass as a scant priority. Charlotte Brontë's Victorian novel, Jane Eyre, explores the significance of individual fulfillment in an oppressive

The literary works of Charlotte Bronte were influenced first by her creative family. In the summer of 1826, Reverend Patrick Bronte began to encourage his children in the way of imagination and literary prose by coming home with a box of toy soldiers for his only son Branwell.

Charlotte Bronte wasn’t a normal Victorian woman. She took time out of what she was supposed to be doing: work around the house, making food, and washing clothes.

To start, Charlotte Bronte experienced many hardships from a young age, and rather than letting them hinder her, she grew from them. Bronte experienced loss at a young age, losing her mother and two of her sisters, and she illustrated almost the exact same loss through Jane and Helen at Lowood (Bock). She effectively portrays her life’s setbacks through her works in which we can see many of her misfortunes paraphrased into Jane’s own. In Jane Eyre, Jane was sent to the school, Lowood, where they believe in “plain fare, simple attire, unsophisticated accommodations, (and) hardy and active habits” to teach young girls how to conform to society’s views (Bronte 42). Charlotte Bronte herself was sent to Cowan Bridge to learn how to present herself in any situation a lady may come to, and the school basically taught women how to become governesses and teachers because that’s all they could be, much like in the book (Bock). Bronte went through tough times in her life, but readers know how well she used those tough times to influence her work and end up finding a will to live through her writing. For example, in “The Wife’s Will” when the wife is talking about her hard times, making her cry, she states how the tears never lasted that long with the help of her husband (Bronte). This can be taken as a poem Bronte wrote
