Through a close reading of the selected passage of Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre: An Autobiography, a reader can see that Jane attempts to separate herself from her decisions by personifying her emotions and giving them a specific voice, which strongly reflects the societal views of the time. At this point in the story, Jane has discovered, on her wedding day, that Mr. Rochester is still married to a woman named Bertha, and that woman still lives in his house.

     Blanche Ingram is the most important woman, other than Jane Eyre, in the novel. Arguably, she is the most important antagonist in this book. It is difficult to fathom how an absolutely horrid, conceited, venal, apathetic creature could be so vital to the book; but take her away, the motivation, conflict, and character itself crumbles.

Jane Eyre: Pivotal Moment in Her Life The most important ______ of society during the Victorian Era was that of the social class. The more money one had, the more one was reverenced and favored upon by “higher circles”. In the people’s eyes, money was power. This is shown in the classic novel Jane Eyre, written by Charlotte Bronte, which addresses the life and development of the main character.

The literary classic Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë, introduces the constraint and imprisoned atmosphere. With century inspired diction, the writing piece exerts a more automatic style to it. The entire excerpt is an image literary device, however, specifically when Eliza mentions to Jane about friendship. " - she really must exclude me from privileges... only for contended, happy, little children," (line 21-22) gathers emotions due to the fact that Brontë wants the dispair to be inferred. Everything leading to this point is how Eliza does not like the physical attributes Jane has to offer.

In Chpater 19 of Jane Eyre, Jane meets with the mysterious gypsy, who insisted to give her insights to the young, single ladies of the Thornfield Hall. Jane is very skeptical towards the idea of having her fate told by a Sibyl. It turns out that the gypsy told Blanche that Rochester is not as wealthy as he seems. This revelation explains Blanche’s behavior when she got out of the library. The gypsy tells Jane that she is cold, sick, and silly— however, not literally.

Throughout Jane Eyre, there is no mention of Creole culture or even anybody pertaining to the Creole heritage. The Creole culture is not mentioned until we discover how Rochester has a wife, who is Creole. Phrases such as “growled like some strange wild animal” (Brontë 293) and “a quantity of dark, grizzled hair, wild as a mane” (Brontë 293) are used to describe this “mad woman” in the attic we come to know of. Brontë’s places claims and statements about “Bertha’s” mental state through Rochester to imply that her “madness” is due to her Creole heritage. We later find out in the Wide Sargasso Sea that the accusations about Bertha are false and are made simply out of misunderstanding and lack of knowledge.

Set in the Victorian era, a period where women had to oblige with certain rules and standards that were put forth to them by society. The novel Jane Eyre (1847) written by Charlotte Bronte encompasses the opposite of what was considered the norm for women of her time. The heroine Jane Eyre is depicted as independent, blunt, opinionated and strong. These traits illustrate Jane Eyre as unfeminine and not fit for her years, thus designating her as a social outcast. The novel is a fictional autobiography of the protagonists life written mostly in past tense. As Jane progresses through different stages of her life; Gateshead, Lowood, Thornfeild, Moore, and Ferndean, so does her shift in narration. This paper will delve into the fundamental aspects on the point of view in Bronte’s Jane Eyre (1847), more so the perspective of Jane as the narrator and Jane as the narrated. Since the protagonist maintains two roles in the novel; the

Interaction between people is always going to be present wherever one goes. Relationships between two people in love take more effort, and commitment rather than a regular friendship.

Jane Eyre is a feminist novel, also introducing how Jane’s character endures issues as a feminist. The social norms portrayed by Bronte differ from what is viewed in today’s society. Jane Eyre, being set in the nineteenth century, presents the troubles faced within the

The first passage is from when Jane Eyre is locked in the attic room by force by Abbot and Bessie. Despite her just being punished, along with her earlier treatments, young Jane sees this room as a “jail.” She feels trapped. Unable to express herself in the ways that she sees fit without being tormented by John, or scorned by Mrs. Reed, Jane is forced to accept and take the abuse. When she passes the mirror, she sees a tiny white figure. “All looked colder and darker” to her “than in reality.” She was looking at herself. It is a case of Jane’s internal feelings reflecting on her external appearance and situation. Jane wants to break free and express herself, but feels restrained by her body and her restrictions. The “glittering eyes” that she describes represent her will to be free. It shows a shimmering of hope that she holds on to. The description of “moving while all else was still” also shows how Jane is the only one in the house that is capable of this type of expression. Everything else in comparison to her

The environment which she lived in was a different one than what set in place the victorian lifestyle. She could afford to be different in order to make change and equalize the rights of men and women so that equal meant

Jane Eyre always wants to please others but what about herself. In the early chapters, Brontë establishes the puerile Jane’s fictitious character through her face-off with Mrs. Reed, in which Jane’s good-hearted but vigorous-willed resoluteness and integrity become ostensible. This chapter also establish the novel’s climate. From its beginning, Jane Eyre explores and challenges the gregarious preconceptions of nineteenth-century Victorian society. Themes of convivial class, gender cognations, and iniquity predominate throughout. Jane Eyre commences her story as an orphan raised by an opulent and cultivated family, and this equivocal gregarious standing incentivizes much of the novel’s internal tension and conflict. Jane’s inculcation and semi-aristocratic lifestyle are those of the upper class, but she is impecunious. As a penniless orphan coerced to live on the charity of others, Jane is a kind of second-class denizen. In some ways she is below even the retainer, who certainly have no obligation to treat her deferentially. The tensity of this contradiction in terms emerge in the very first chapter of the novel, when Jane suffers teasing and penalization at the hands of John Reed and his abhorrent mother. Jane’s proscription to the red-room exemplifies her subscript position with wish to the rest of the extremity of the Reed

Why would she think that there would be a ghost? Did the author leave out a part of the story? This may have been alluding to the fact that Jane was delirious from being in that room and possibly from the lack of food. After reading ahead, the author explains that Uncle Reed (Jane’s Uncle) died in that room as it was his bedroom.
