The Development of Janes Character from Passionate Child to Independen
The Development of Janes Character from Passionate Child to Independent womanJanes character changes immensely throughout the course of the novel.In Victorian England, there were distinctive boundaries of socialclasses and I intend to study Janes social elevation, from a costless orphan to that of a beloved wife.When Jane was a child her parents died and she was sent to Mr Reed,her late mothers brother.my own uncle - my mothers brother in his last moments he hadrequired a control of Mrs Reed that she would rear and maintain me asone of her ownHer uncle died and she was left with Mrs Reed and her three cousinswho all despised her. They only looked after her because of thepromise to Mr Reed. It was representative in Victorian England for an orphanto stay with relatives because if they didnt they would be sent tothe workhouse. They would either be loved or despised - like in Janescase.Jane was a enlivened child who was not afraid to stand up to Mrs Reedor John Reed. She was isolated and explains how unloved and illtreated she was at Gatesheadif anyone asks me how I desire you, and how you treated me, I willtell them the very thought of you makes me sickJane is a brave, little girl and tells things as they are. She acceptshow badly she was treated and lets Mrs Reed fill in this just beforeleaving to go to school at Lowood. When Mr Brocklehurst visited her atGateshead, she was forceful and told him directly Psalms are notinteresting. This action was not emblematic of others in VictorianEngland, as they would not have answered so bluntly.Jane Eyre leaves Gateshead and attends Lowood School, she formsalliances with Helen Burns and Miss Temple, and she becomes a much... ...character it helps to focusand underline the thoughts and feelings of the writer without feelingembarrassed, kinda it allows the writer to get their opinions intosociety through another means other than themselves.However, I do not believe that the whole novel is feminist because aVictorian w omans aspiration was to marry and in the end this is whatJane ends up doing. The period when Jane is at school is when shelearns to control herself and become more Victorian, but again incontrast to this, it has been suggested that Miss Temple and Jane weremore than just friends up until the point when Miss Temple gotmarried. It seems to me that sections of the novel do point to beingfeminist, try to get men and women on equal terms, whereas somesections are more typical in the way that they represent Jane and amore usual Victorian manner.
