Jane Eyre - Question #4

The hero of the novel is Jane Eyre. The title of the novel is her name anyways. Like I stated in one of my earlier blogs, Jane is a strong-willed, independent woman. Throughout the entire novel, she behaves in this way. She doesn’t let others get to her, knowing that she is doing what she believes is right.  She hated her life with her Aunt and cousins, so she found a way out of that, successfully getting the education she desired. Then she grew up and found love with Mr. Rochester, whom she lived with for some time. Jane Eyre changed a lot from when she was living with her Aunt. She was small and innocent then, and where she did speak rebelliously occasionally, she did not get her way much. She grew to be a strong woman who got what she wanted due to her independence and determination. Even though Mr. Rochester hurt her emotionally, she eventually went back to him after realizing that she will never love anyone as much as she loved him. In the end, Jane Eyre is a good protagonist for the novel because she demonstrates a strong-willed attitude that the author believes is a good quality in women.
