Abstract

The novel Jane Eyre which was written by the famous author Charlotte Bronte in 19th century occupies an important status in English literature. In the novel, the author successfully portrayed a great female image---Jane Eyre, who was an independent, rebellious, wise and recalcitrant in that era. As Jane Eyre is a unique woman on that time, the brilliant female protagonist in the novel gives many readers home and abroad a deep impression. Jane was poor but aspiring; small in body but huge in spirit; unlovely in appearance but pure in soul. In the novel, different periods we see different Janes. At Gateshead, we see a little, brave and self-respected Jane; in Lowood Orphanage, we see a smart, just and honorable Jane; in Thornfield Hall, we see a silent, independent and brilliant Jane; at Gates head, we see a mature, free and experienced Jane. We may say that Jane Eyre is a heroine who struggles with misfortune and unfairness to seek a happy life.

This present thesis mainly focuses on the positive character of the female leading role in the novel Jane Eyre. Based on the novel Jane Eyre, the paper first gives readers the summary of Jane Eyre’s main character, the brief introductions
