Charlotte Brontë
14 October 2014

Charlotte Brontë is an English novelist and poet whose novels have became classics of English literature. In her early life, she got literary influence in her family and experienced harsh education, which both had impact on her literary works. She was born as the third of the six children of her family. She was sent to the boarding school with her sisters, where the school's poor conditions permanently affected her health and physical development, and made her sister Maria and Elizabeth died. After the deaths of her older sisters her father removed Charlotte and Emily, the other sister, from the school. At home, Charlotte and her siblings — Branwell, Emily and Anne – created their own fictional worlds, and they wrote stories and articles based on their imagination. They provided them with an obsessive interest during childhood and early adolescence, which prepared them for literary vocations in adulthood. After growing up, she became a writer when she and her sisters self-financed the publication of a joint collection of poems.

Charlotte wrote 4 novels, Jane Eyre, Shirley, Villette, and The Professor. Particularly, Jane Eyre is one of the most famous novel not only in her works but also in Victorian eras. Primarily of the bildungsroman genre that focuses on the psychological and moral growth of the protagonist from youth to adulthood, Jane Eyre follows the emotions and experiences of its title character, including her growth to adulthood(Wikipedia). It was published on 16 October 1847, under the pen name "Currer Bell." According to Wikipedia, the novel Jane Eyre is a first-person narrative of the title character. It is set somewhere in the north of England, during the reign of George III (1760–1820), and goes through five distinct stages: Jane's childhood at Gateshead Hall, where she is emotionally and physically abused by her aunt and cousins; her education at Lowood School, where

Her childhood was filled with unjust punishment, her school days were melancholy, and, even as an adult, her life continued to be secluded from modern society. Tribulations such as these come with the soul purpose of molding one’s spiritual life. Jane relied on her faith alone for support, and survived triumphantly. This small hope was the enrichment of her alienation. Through Jane Eyre, Charlotte Bronte uses this character’s experiences to contribute to the development of the entire work.…

The manner, in which Charlotte Bronte writes, her tone and diction especially, lends its self to the many purposes of the novel.

    Published in 1847, under the pseudonym Currer Bell, Jane Eyre, is “ one of the most widely read of English novels.” Written by Charlotte Bronte, this novel made a major impact on the Victorian reading public, as well as today’s viewing public. With about thirteen television and film adaptations, it is not surprising that Jane Eyre is one of the most filmed novels. Unlike most books of its time, Jane Eyre took its readers on a journey into the restricted life of women living in the nineteenth century. For certain, these nineteenth century women were dominated by the overbearing men of their time. Thought to be submissive and unreasoning, women were expected to allow the men in their lives to make all decisions. In this novel, Jane Eyre, an orphan, applies the education and tools she gained throughout her life of struggle to become a strong, independent woman. Along the way, Jane repeatedly faces alienation from society, yet works to find happiness for herself. Through this, it is evident that Bronte conveys an alienation theme by exhibiting Jane’s isolation from society, and Jane’s struggle to find a place in the social hierarchy.…
