This implies that one who reforms is calling a current situation, and any person who supports this situation, “defective, vicious, corrupt, or depraved”. Who would be courageous enough to do such a thing' Yet no society i

Jane Eyre and Bertha Mason are two very similar characters, yet they are also very distinct characters. They are not similar in the sense that their personalities reflect each other, but in the fact that their pasts can be interpreted as being similar. However, it is in reaction to their pasts that they have turned out so different. While Jane is described as a calm and intellectual thinker; Berth

Intro Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte is a novel which is can be interpreted in many different ways. In my opinion at its core Jane Eyre is the story of an individual’s self discovery via their reaction to the world. Bronte has shaped this effectively with the use of stylistic devices, genre selection, characterisation and themes. THESIS ‘Jane Eyre ‘tells the story of an individual’s quest for id
