Abstract
This paper discusses Jane Eyre's need for freedom and equality in the book 'Jane Eyre.' At the start of the story, Jane is thought of as being simply a dependent, and therefore is neither free nor equal to those around her. Throughout the novel Jane experiences various degrees of freedom and various forms of equality, but it is not until she finds both simultaneously, and under her own terms, that can she be truly content with her life. By the end of the book she has found all she needs in life.

Abstract
The essay entitled On Jane Eyre is a study of certain chapters from the famous nineteenth century novel about a plucky English orphaned girl trying to survive and established herself as an autonomous woman in a world. The paper cites how this was extremely difficult because of the social and religious constraints in which she lived. The paper concludes that the character Jane was able to do so through a combination of pluck and luck.

From the Paper
"Charlotte Bronte subtitled her novel "An Autobiography," and there doubtlessly was much in the novel that was autobiographical in the sense that Bronte had to struggle against the confines of Victorian England. Social and religious conventions sharply limited what women were able to do. Jane Eyre could not consider marrying above her station.

Abstract
This paper considers the way in which Charlotte Bronte's autobiographical details allow for a feminist message in her novel, "Jane Eyre." The paper contends that Jane's true ambition is to overcome the repression of the male-dominated society of the 19th Century.

From the Paper
"In many ways Charlotte Bronte's "Jane Eyre" may be read as one of the earliest feminist texts in English literature. While Bronte employs many of the standard elements of the Gothic novel, it is clear that her true ambition is in her depiction of the title character, a woman who endures great trials in order to overcome repression in the male-dominated society of the nineteenth century."

Abstract
This paper examines Charlotte Bronte's novel "Jane Eyre" as an example of a woman trying to gain independence in a male dominated society. The paper details Jane's survival of tragic events in her life.

From the Paper
Charlotte Bronte's "Jane Eyre" is considered a classic Gothic novel as it focuses on an unrequited romance and maintains a dark tragic mood throughout. Indeed the novel's title character is forced to endure much suffering and tragedy though she is able to survive these events and achieve a measure of happiness by the novel's conclusion. In this regard Bronte's work may be viewed as one of the earliest feminist texts, as she places Jane Eyre's thoughts and feelings at the novel's center."

Abstract
The paper discusses how Mikhail Bakhtin contended that all novels conclude without a definitive closure and that traditional endings are not compromised or reconciled for the reader. Bakhtin further stipulates that novels do instead provide conflicts at the end that produce no correct or incorrect resolution. The writer examines how, in the case of "Jane Eyre", for example, one reader may not agree with the choices that she has ultimately made, and therefore, there can be no resolved issues for that reader.
