The novel was able to keep me, and many others, entertained throughout by using certain techniques. A couple that she used is romance and transformation. Romance is used significantly throughout the novel and is a good technique to use to keep the readers entertained. It keeps people reading the book because romance is something we all deal with or at least want in life, so reading it in a book makes the readers feel like it is more realistic. The basis of the novel is romance, so that helps keep the readers enthralled anyways. The relationship between Mr. Rochester and Jane is a good example of the romance in the book. I am one of the readers who enjoys reading about romance, so no wonder I enjoyed the book so much.
The other technique that Charlotte Bronte used while writing this novel was transformation. Throughout the book, Jane grew from a small, innocent girl, to a strong-willed, independent woman who can take care of herself. Transformation in novels is a good way to entertain the readers because if the characters stayed the same during the novel, it would get boring and people may not want to continue. For example, when Jane was a child, in the beginning of the book, she was constantly pushed around by her older cousin, but by the end of the book, she would not let people boss her around because she had grown into the strong woman that we all read about. Because the characters change frequently, it keeps the readers wanting to find out what comes next, and never ceases to bore them.
