Jane Eyre is about a strong-willed, independent girl who does what she thinks is right, and not what she is forced or told to do. Most girls of that time were, or were expected to be, dainty and proper. Jane was the opposite. I believe that when Charlotte Bronte first envisioned Jane, she thought about how she believed girls should be. I think that Charlotte valued being a strong, independent woman because back then, women were not highly thought of, and they did not have as many rights as they do today. This also might tag along with Charlotte’s attitude. She might have been the spitting image of Jane, or maybe very close. Like I mentioned earlier, the book describes Jane as a very independent girl who believes she can handle herself. Charlotte Bronte probably believes that all women should be like that.
Jane Eyre was written in first person. Jane told the entire story, but you do not know until the very end of the book how old Jane was as she told it. By the end of the novel, we have found out that Jane is telling the story approximately ten years after the last scene of the book takes place.
