Paper Summary:

This paper relates that, in Charlotte Bronte's "Jane Eyre", Jane's archetypal journey toward independence is demonstrated through her call to adventure at Gateshead, her helpers at Lowood, her obstacles at Thornfield, her nadir at Moor house and her return at Ferndean. In the end, Jane and Rochester marry and live as equals with her helping him cope with his blindness and his loss of his hand. The author points out that Jane comes to the realization that part of being true to "who she is" is being true to her passions and emotions. The paper concludes that Jane has found the bond and escape she has been looking for all along.

From the Paper:

"After some time at Thornfield Jane falls in love with the owner of the house Mr. Rochester. At first Mr. Rochester often treated Jane brutally but she stood up to him and eventually gained his love. Mr. Rochester was the first person to offer Jane lasting love and a real home. Jane and Mr. Rochester became engaged but not everything was ideal. Jane never was treated as his equal because of the difference in status between the two of them; they were only equal on an intellectual level."
