Feminism In Jane Erye

literary history. It does not have to be seen as a
complete rebellion against men, but can simply
represent intelligence and self-worth in a female.

Charlotte Bronte. She uses independence as a
keynote in her thinking about her own life and the
life of all unmarried women (Ewbank 157). One such
work is Jane Erye. In this novel Charlotte Bronte
personifies her philosophy through the main

century society. The treatment of these women was
also extremely negative; they were expected to
stay home and fulfill domestic duties. Literature
of this time embodies and mirrors social issues of
women in society. Henrik Ibsen uses Nora Helmer in

century. Many women characters throughout American
literature reflect the same conflicts and
attitudes of ...

Police Officer Long Ago
1,216 words
Charlotte Johnson, a kind and loving mother of
two, looked at the old barn and realized it would
soon fall down. It was in a terrible state of
repair. Its wooden foundation had long since
rotted away, and the building now leaned
unsteadily to one side. The boards, many of them
sun-bleached, were loose and old. Several of them
hung by only a single nail. Occasionally one of
the dangling boards would mutter in protest, and
then clatter noisily against its neighbors as it
was set in motion by the w...

engaged in her proper duties, the less leisure

and a recreation, (Gaskell 102). This opinion was
not held by only one person, but by many. Indeed,
it is this attitude, one that debases women and
their abilities, to which Charlotte Bronte
responds with Jane Eyre. The purpos...
