From the Paper:

"Emily Bronte, one of the foremost Victorian era writes wrote her seminal work "Jane Eyre" as a form of Bildungsroman, or a novel that tells the story of a child's maturation process, focusing on the emotions and experiences that accompany their rise into adulthood. Jane Eyre's story goes through several stages of her life, each one mirroring her emotional and spiritual growth. Many critics claim that this narrative follows the account of Bronte's own childhood growth. The most interesting analysis of this book examines the specific pattern in which Jane Eyre moves throughout the narrative. Upon close inspection, Eyre's movement pattern is catalyzed by the dual influence of two overbearing and nurturing authority figures who forces her to attain both spiritual and emotional maturity."
