2. A brief introduction of the author and background.

2.1

A brief introduction of the author

Charlotte Bronte(1816-1854) was born on April 21 1816, third of the six children of

Patrick Bronte. The major event of her young life was the death of her mother in 1821,

which created a lot of chaos. In 1824, Charlotte and her two older sisters, Maria and

Elizabeth, were sent to the newly- opened Cowan Bridge Clergy Daughters' School.

Conditions

there

were

bad

even

by

the

standards

of

the

time,

and

it

was

not

long

before both Maria and Elizabeth became ill enough to be sent home, where they both

died of consumption in the spring of1825. Patrick brought Charlotte and her younger

sister Emily, who had recently joined them at the school, back home as soon as the

other

girls

became

ill,

but

Charlotte

in

particular

never

forgot

what

the

school

had

been like.

Charlotte's

next

adventure

was

going

to

school

in

Brussels

with

Emily

in

1842.

Charlotte's time there was brief, less than two years, but it led to her eventual writing

of Villette beginning in 1852.

Back home, Charlotte lapsed into chronic unemployment and severe hypochondria,

actually thinking she was going blind, just like her father was. In 1846 the three

sisters published a book of Poems, and though sales were very slow, the reviews were

III

good and spurred on further literary endeavors. Charlotte's novel of this time, The

Professor, was actually rather bad, suffering from a less-than believable main

character. In August of 1846 Charlotte began work on Jane Eyre. Though it was

published in 1847, Charlotte didn't tell her father about it until the next year, when the

novel's success was plain.

Jane Eyre

is a classic literature masterpieces of Charlotte

Bronte

’

s of the British in the 19th century.

2.2 Background

On

the surface, Jane Eyre is a love story about a poor young woman Jane Eyre and a rich

man

Mr.

Rochester.

But

when

we

read

it

carefully,

we

can

find

out

much

deeper

connotation, and we can understand that this work is not only a simple love story, but

also

reflects

some

social

situations.

Especially

was

the

problem

of

the

relationship

between women and the traditional morality in Victorian time. In this novel, Bronte

expresses strong dissatisfaction for females’ unequal social status, and

Jane Eyre was

her own embodiment to resist the oppression of the social traditional morality and to

break the ag

e’s fetter. And this novel also reflects that at that time, women have been

already realized they should struggle for their independence of spirit and equal rights

on many aspects in the social life. This thesis according to expounding the females’

situati

ons under the traditional morality in Victorian age and the analysis of heroine’s

behavior and thinking which broke the traditional morality at that time in Jane Eyre,

to

find

the

appearance

of

feminine

consciousness

and

the

demands

of

women

for

having

equal

social

status

like

men

in

society

and

getting

independence

of

life

and

spirit.

Jane Eyre is a famous work written by Charlotte Bronte, and this novel was

published in 1847 and became an immediate success.

This thesis will research the

“unwomanly” character of the heroine under the Victorian traditional morality. ”

Analysis of Jane Eyre Purpose and Significance of study[J]2010

All of

IV

Jane’s behaviors showed her difference from traditional morality. In such a period, a

little girl struggled for h

er equal rights in her guardian’s family

, a student made efforts

to

improve the living

condition

of school,

a

young

governess

pursued her real

love

and refused the proposal of the man she did not love. All of these behaviors disobeyed

the traditional moral

ity in Victorian age. She broke the model of “angel in the house”

throughout her life. Her “unwomanly” character was also showed obviously.

3. The love view of Jane from following perspectives

3.1

The

analysis

of

Jane’s

Love

View

from

Jane’s

independent

characters

When Jane was a litter girl, she was so unlucky and depended on others. she had no

friend,

whatever

she

did,

she

just

do

it

by

herself.

So

she

built

up

independent

character on everything from her young age. did not allow her children to

associate

with

Jane,

so,

she had

ever said

：

“They

are not

fit to

associate with

me”

These

words

is

the

best

illustrated

fact

that

she

is

an

independent

girl

in

her

inner

world, including love. Jane pursues happiness, looking forward to get happiness and

achieve the true love. In her inner world, she wishes that she can communicate with

others’ sincerity,

not rather than rely on others to love or belong to others. She has her

own soul. She wants to control the master of her spirit, stick to her own personality

dignity.

When Mrs Fairfax knew that Jane and Rochester had fallen in love and prepared to

get married, Mrs Fairfax thinks its unbelievable, she just says some words

：

“he has Do

you belive him? Have you accept him? Mrs Fairfax looked at me bewildered I could

have thought it He is a proud man all Rochesters were proud : and his father at least,

liked money. After a later Mrs Fairfax repeated :‘Equality of position and fortune is

often

advisable

in

such

cases,

and

there

are

twenty

years

of

difference

in

your

V

ages .He might

almost

be

your father’”.

《简爱》

p388-389

From

Mrs Fairfax’s

words, it is easy to know that Jane and Rochester is not match. Their love would not

have a good result because of the difference of the position and status. But Jane give

me a sur

prise with her answer,she said: “No,

indeed , he is nothing like my father! No

one,

who saw us together, would suppose it for an instant.”

《简爱》

p390. From m

Mrs

Jane’s

words,

it

is

easy

to

know

that

Jane

never

care

their

positions,

ages

and

status. In his eyes, she and Rochester, they are equal, they love each other so deeply.

She

believe

that

their

love

will

be

last

,

no

matter

what

happened,

Jane

always

live

independently.

Later,

she

met

her

cousin,

St.

John.

St.

John

hopes

that

Jane should marry

him, and help him to finish the religious career and god’s mission.

Because

there

is

no

love

between

them.

So

Jane

refuses

St.

needs

truly

love,not

mission.

In

England,

religion

always

plays

a

very

important

Jane

was

able

to

break

the

shackles

of

religion,

and

pursue

the

independent

love

and

independent world. So we have to say, Jane was an independent girl.

Unfortunately, everything is not always smooth sail. When Jane knew that Rochester

had

got

married, At that moment,

she said:“Mr

Roc

hester

I must leave

you,

I must

leave

you.

I

must

part

with

you

for

my

whole

life.

I

must

begin

a

new

existence

among strange faces and strange scenes”.

《简爱》

p449 From Jane’s these words, we

know that true love just belong to two people, it not contain the third person to share

their love. Even though Jane loves Rochester so

at

last,

she would

rather

choose to give up. Because Jane pursue love which is a kind of independent love, not

become

someone

else’s

shadow.

we

can

easily

know

from

Jane’s

leavin

g

that

Jane

advocates

independence

of

love,

pursue

the

independent

personality

dignity.

“However,

I

could

not

help

ask

that

only

this

step

can

prove

that

does

Jane

is

a

independent girl.

I don’t think so, after all, female independence needs a great courag

e,

it is a long and complex course.”

It needs more courage to give up loves. I think it is the most

important step to gain free and independence.

Jane’s independent love had become the

VI

classical

example

of

independent

female.

So

I

hope

this

world

would

appear

many

Janes. No matter she is rich or poor, I hope they can live strongly and independently.

3.2

The analysis of Jane’s Love View form her Strong

-willed

Jane was a weak and short girl, but she has a strong heart and soul. she has no mony,

position,

and

status.

But

sha

has

extremely

personal

temperament

and

very

rich

emotional world. After the temper of life, she abandoned the natural weak of female

and cowardice which belongs to many females. Then Jane developed the strong and

independent personal characters gradually. When she was a young girl, she lived with

her

aunt.

They

treated

Jane

badly,

they

often

brings

force

on

her.

But

Jane

never

willing to accept any insult, instead struggling to them try her best. Even though the

result are not satisfactory, but she never give up sticking to her own opinion. When

Jane leaves her aunt’s home and comes into school, Mr. Brocklehursts said:“this girl,

this child, the native of a Christian land, worse than many a little heathen who says its

prayers to Brahma and kneels before Juggernaut -- this girl is --

a big lairs!”

P92

Facing the cold

and cruel

of Mr. Brocklehursts, Jane has no feeling of fear, instead

Jane

calmly

accepted

it.

She

developed

the

strong,

self- esteem

,

and

independent

personal

characters

through

a

series

of

unlucky

things.

Which

arouse

her

infinite

courages and indomitable spirits. She did not lose hope. Instead, she becomes strong

and

independent

to

face

the

irregularly

scheduled

unlucky

things.

Even

though

she

never

lose

personal

pure

characters.“

Jane

clearly

knew

that

she

had

no

beautiful

appearance and noble position and status, so she must study hard. She try her best to

study all courses, including music,French and art. She clearly knew, as a person, you

can have no beautiful appearance, many many money, noble position and status, but

you can not have no personal ideas and personal dignity.
