Autonomy In Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre

Love comes along with many emotions related to a sense of strong affection and attachment. Love is an emotional need that even Jane, from Charlotte Bronte’s book Jane Eyre, can’t ignore. Throughout the story line, Jane is searching to find love. She was looking, not just for the love of a man, but for the love of a family but Jane’s search for love sometimes ends up challenging her independence. Jane’s independence is related to autonomy which is seen throughout the story and is often used as the center for determining moral responsibility for one’s actions. While Jane is wishing for love, she is not willing to give up her independence for it. When Jane becomes older and her independence grows, she realizes that, while she needs to be independent,
O Russel, with Jennifer Lawrence, Robert DiNiro, and Bradly Cooper, came to mind when I read Jane Eyre because of the obstacles that Jane went through were similar in a way to what Joy Mangano went through.

Joy begins to feel buried by her life, in the process her childhood dreams of making things apparently are getting farther and farther away. Joy then decides to make some changes in her life, and expects the reluctant practical support of her family. Those changes include manufacturing a new product of her design, which she chooses this time around being a self-wringing mop. Joy needs a quick, easy way to advertise her product, and is able to meet with QVC executive Neil Walker. Neil tells Joy to manufacture 50,000 mops. The first commercial fails.
