Literary Analysis on Jane Eyre
1.) It is very important to take these quotes into consideration. Conventionality is deemed by social norms, what the masses partake in. Self righteousness is egocentric self-fulfillment. One must do what one feels is truly right, regardless of what the masses believe, but never act in the name of self righteousness.
2.) The description of “History of British Birds” serves as a metaphor for her wish to flee her cold home, the way the migratory birds do in the winter.
3.) Jane Eyre is a unique blend of gothic writing and romantic writing, and this is clear through the author placing the characters in a specific designed setting, the home, the atmosphere, but allowing the characters to behave more freely, so the reader doesn’t feel like they see the next part coming on, such as when Jane’s cousin strikes her and she is punished and locked in the red room.
4.) Jane Eyre is established as a rebellious, free spirited child who is not very keen on those who abuse authority. From this, the reader feels a better sense of knowing who exactly Jane is and what she will be trying to accomplish throughout the novel.
5.) Jane is portrayed initially to be an object of sympathy. A child being punished for another’s crimes. Right from the start, Bronte wants us, the readers, to know that Jane is, at her core, broken and that is a fundamental base of which her entire character is built upon throughout the novel.
6.) Brocklehurst is meant to be portrayed as Goliath, a giant who was defeated by young David with nothing more than a slingshot. Bronte want us to perceive Brocklehurst as a towering challenge that seems impossible, but leaves the reader knowing that he will be defeated in the end.
7.) When Jane addresses the reader, it changes the entire tone of the story. Up until now, it has been settings and descriptions. Everything happens to Jane, everything is the way she is treated. She is portrayed as the abused child, but no longer. Jane’s addressing the reader
