It doesn’t display the fleeing passions of a Romeo and Juliet. This is due entirely to Bronte’s views on marriage and love.

Jane Eyre is written in the style of an autobiography and through the powerful first person narrative with very direct references to the ‘readers’‚ Charlotte Bronte explores the strict social structures and attitudes predominant in the Victorian era.

We‚ as humans‚ often lack the virtue of forgiveness
