Paper Summary:

This paper explains that Charlotte Bronte's fiercely independent protagonist, Jane Eyre, struggles to enhance her societal standing without sacrificing her self-identity, which offers an encouraging vision for social change. The author points out that, while part of Jane wanted to succumb to the advances of Rochester, she did not want to be a woman destined to idolize and obey a man above all others. The paper stresses that, by leaving Rochester and the home that she loved, Jane showed moral courage. The author underscores that Jane's resilience helped her eventually find love, respectability and a partner with whom she would share her life. The paper includes several quotations.

From the Paper:

"Bronte used Jane as a pawn to depict the hardships during the 19th century. Jane's tenacity and drive is put to a test as she embarks on a journey of self-discovery. But, while other women in 19th century England were seeking husbands who would marry them, Jane knew typical marriage in those terms wouldn't suffice and would never be enough for her. She needed a friend and partner with whom she could share a life. "... It is thoughtless to condemn them or laugh at them if they seek to learn more than custom has pronounced necessary for their sex.""
