Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë is a coming of age story told in the style of Gothic fiction. It is a story of an underprivileged, unloved orphan, who at the end of her story finds love and family as well as personal riches. At the time it was published in 1947, Brontë issued her book under the alias of Currer Bell. The novel is presented as an autobiography of a girl, snatches of which mirror Brontë's own life. It can be separated into five distinct parts: Jane's time with her aunt at Gateshead, her time as a pupil and teacher at Lowood Institution, Jane's time as a governess at Thornfield Hall, the time she spends as a teacher at St. John's school, and finally, Jane's reunion with Mr. Rochester.
Jane Eyre
The development of Jane Eyre’s character is central to the novel. From the beginning, Jane possesses a sense of her self-worth and dignity, a commitment to justice and principle, a trust in God, and a passionate disposition. Her integrity is continually tested over the course of the novel, and Jane must learn to balance the frequently conflicting aspects of herself so as to find contentment
An orphan since early childhood, Jane feels exiled and ostracized at the beginning of the novel, and the cruel treatment she receives from her Aunt Reed and her cousins only exacerbates her feeling of alienation. Afraid that she will never find a true sense of home or community, Jane fels the need to belong somewhere, to find “kin,” or at least “kindred spirits.” This desire tempers her equally intense need for autonomy and freedom. In her search for freedom, Jane also struggles with the question of what type of freedom she wants. While Rochester initially offers Jane a chance to liberate her passions, Jane comes to realize that such freedom could also mean enslavement—by living as Rochester’s mistress, she would be sacrificing her dignity and integrity for the sake of her feelings
