Jane Eyre, task 3
Jane Eyre emerges as a story focused on the quest for love
...
The novel touches upon women’s inner struggle for liberty
...
In the novel, the role of women is represented by giving the reader an insight
into their lives from all social classes
...
The male
dominated in all of these classes
...
I think all of these themes are relevant
and important in the book
...
The balance of love and freedom
Love is a huge part of this book
...
She was orphaned as a baby and struggles through her loveless childhood
...
No matter
where she went or whom she met, she found someone who cared about her, but
something always happened which took her short happiness away from her
...
Jane and Helen Burns became friends and had a
great time together, in spite of the conditions at Lowood
...
Another example is Mr
...
Jane is
extremely fond of him, and at their wedding day, a terrible secret is revealed
...
Jane lacks social advantages of money,
beauty and family
...
Throughout the whole novel, no matter who she is dealing with, she rises up
against oppression
...
I
sometimes forgot that Jane was only ten years old at the start of the book
...
She gets furious when people get away with doing her wrong
...
She stands on what she think is right, and sometimes,
this can even be a little irritating
...
Rochester
...
He does love her; he was just in a difficult
position
...
Jane is really not a typical Victorian heroine
...
Rochester is older and a much
more experienced man, but she refuses to accept him as her superior
...
A lot of factors make Jane unusual in the world of the novel
...
She craves to be an independent
woman, and this seems to be a problem because of how society worked in the Victorian
Era
...
Gender roles
At times, Jane represents what a woman should be in the Victorian Era, but other
times, Jane defies expectations and breaks the gender roles
...
Each male figure in the novel seems to be, at various levels, controlling and
oppressive
...
This is an
example of how women were expected to know their place in society
...
Jane fights back against John Reed, escapes Mr
...
John Rivers a loveless marriage, and she finally
marries Rochester as his equal
...
Rochester now depends on Jane to be his eyes and hands, and he
depends on her
...
A common woman in the Victorian Era was required to
provide their husbands and raise the children
...
We get an insight into a typical
upper class woman through the character of Miss Ingram
...
She has no job and the only thing she does is reading, playing the piano or
participate in social outings
...
It was hard for women to get an education
...
We see now that she has a career and can
earn a living
...
Bronte
expresses that “women feel just as men do” through Jane
...
The novel contains a
strong feminist stance
...
Feminism
What is a feminist? A feminist is a person who believes in the social, political and
economic equality of the sexes
...
Bertha is a character that can be seen as representing feminine rage and pain that
18th century English society suppressed
...
She is mentioned as “The Madwoman in the Attic” on a lot of websites, and
she can be seen as a motif that can be interpreted in different ways
...
Bertha is
expressing Jane’s most intense emotions that she is unable to express
...
When Jane finally marries Mr
...
She achieves a stronger sense of self
...
I think that all of
her experiences throughout the novel make her as strong and consequent as she truly is
...
It all ends well for her, and that is exactly what was necessary for
me to get the feeling of being fulfilled and pleased when I finished the book
