A study of female images in The Great Gatsby发布时间：2022-08-25T07:03:18.298Z 来源：《科学与技术》2022年第4月第7期作者：聂俊怡[导读] Abstract: The Great Gatsby is a novella written by the famous American novelist F聂俊怡湖北文理学院湖北省襄阳市 441000Abstract: The Great Gatsby is a novella written by the famous American novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald in 1925 to the middle and upper class of modern American society in the 1920s white circle as the background, small through the narrative of one of the protagonists in the novel Nick. This paper mainly uses the feminist perspective, from the patriarchal cultural ideology and the perspective of new women, to understand the female images in the works.Key words: The Great Gatsby, female image, feminism, patriarchal culture, new women The development of patriarchal culture has experienced a long history, mainly due to the imbalance of the relationship between the sexes, and the source of the imbalance is in the Bible about Eve and Adam. In the Bible, Eve was able to exist because God fashioned a rib from Adam, and this relationship led to men's higher status in sexual relationships. Patriarchal culture believes that men have the power to decide women's fate and life value, and women can only exist as men's accessories. This patriarchal culture has experienced a long period of development, and has a great influence on traditional women. In the communication between men and women, traditional women tend to consciously lower their status and obey men ideologically, while men and the whole society also oppresses women.Most of the women in Fitzgerald's writings are conventionally-defined traditional characters in the patriarchal ideology. If they want to rebel against the society and the rule of men, they will be punished by the society as an alien. The same is true of the women in The Great Gatsby. Many of the female images in the book are not of good behavior or moral responsibility, but of callousness, frivolity and vulgarity. Not only are they not good wives and mothers in the traditional sense, they are not even good women in any sense. It can be said that what people see in this novel is only the sad female image.Literary works usually reflect the conflict of ideology and oppression of social background in society. The description of the female characters in the works is the best description of modern women, although there are differences in personality. However, the author's negative portrayal of these modern women from a male perspective reveals the author's incomprehension and prejudice towards modern women. The conflict between men and women, women and society, mainly comes from the description of female images, especially the description of the characters of Daisy, Jordan and Mattel, which reflects the author's patriarchal thinking. These three women have many differences in personality, family background, marital status, occupation and so on, representing three different modern women.(一) The image analysis of DaisyIn the Great Gatsby, Daisy is a female image with the characteristics of The Times. She was born in the upper class, and she was beautiful and charming. She was Gatsby's first love. They fell in love with each other and talked about getting married. However, because Gatsby was transferred abroad, Daisy could only marry Tom under the arrangement of her family. Daisy received a letter from Gatsby on her wedding day. Although she was heartbroken, she could do nothing but obey the arrangement and marry Tom. Such female images, who are noble in birth but unable to achieve the freedom of marriage and choose their own happiness, further magnify the current situation that the patriarchal society has brought shackles to women. Daisy's life after marriage shows the tragic image of women incisively and vividly. The oppression of patriarchal culture on women made Daisy's life into "hell on earth". Soon after their marriage, Daisy discovered her husband Tom's infidelity. Tom's affair with a hotel waiter was widely known in the city, which not only brought damage to Daisy's heart, but also foreshadowed the change of Daisy's character and image. Daisy chose to move again and again, for her husband's sake as well as her own, partly to avoid these events, save family status and face, and partly to have more "moments of peace". To Tom, Daisy was just a vase, an accessory, even a doll when bored. It can be seen that in the society at that time, women's family status and social status were oppressed, and the living environment they faced was unfair and even unworthy of mentioning. When Daisy lost hope for life, Gatsby became a rich man by selling bootleg liquor and was still fascinated by Daisy in his heart, which brought new hope to Daisy. Under the background of good material conditions, it has become Gatsby's spiritual pursuit to have Daisy again. After seeing Daisy again, Gatsby found that She was still young and beautiful, but Daisy's pursuit of material and greed were also very obvious. Gatsby saw Daisy's image and characteristics in his eyes and still loved her deeply. At this time, Daisy had changed from a beautiful, generous, simple and kind person into a worldly, vulgar and materialistic woman under the ravages of the environment. What she saw in the process of getting along with Gatsby was his wealth and status. At this time, Daisy had no morality and responsibility, and she would even give up anyone, including Gatsby, who had always loved her, for the sake of interests and vanity.Daisy's indifference is the sharp weapon of Gatsby's death tragedy. When she drove Gatsby's car to kill Tom's mistress, Gatsby guarded Daisy's house all night to ensure her safety. But at this moment, Daisy discussed with Tom how to shift the responsibility to Gatsby. In the end, Daisy and Tom didn't even attend Gatsby's funeral. Such an indifferent and selfish image epitomized the idea that women did what they had to do to protect themselves.Bohemian, mercenary, hypocritical snobbish, selfish and so on have become the label of Daisy, and the original kind, beautiful, generous, elegant image is completely different. This change was influenced by the secular and material world represented by her husband Tom. Daisy's selfishness, greed, indifference and money worship made her a victim of the material world.(二) Jordan's image analysisAfter the 1920s, there was a brief but special period in the United States. During this period, the status of women has been greatly promoted, which also brought great panic to men to some extent. They believe that the promotion of women's status will destroy the original order and may also bring certain harm to the whole society. In the Great Gatsby, the female character image of Jordan is created under such a background. This female character image not only has the characteristics and spirit of traditional women, but also has the characteristics and spirit of women in the new era. Jordan is the woman of the new era. As a famous golfer, Jordan is welcomed by the upper class and often goes to various celebrity parties. She is good friends with Daisy, but in fact, Jordan does not want to live like Daisy. Jordan has her own independent thinking, is not willing to rely on men to provide financial support, but used to rely on their own athletic talent to obtain more material resources. The female characteristics and spirit of the new era actually subvert the traditional female image. The author endows Jordan with a unique image both in terms of physical appearance and psychological characteristics. For example: in appearance, Jordan's figure is relatively strong, flat chest, brown skin, handsome tall, vigorous action; Psychologically, Jordan is cynical, a loose cannon, ambitious, rational, competitive, emotionally reserved, independent and manipulative. This is quite different from the traditional feminine traits of tenderness, shyness, sensitivity and obedience. In addition to appearance and psychology, Jordan's love outlook also has the characteristics and spirit of women in the new era. Jordan, a champion golfer, has no shortage of high-society suitors, but she is not interested in, or even genuinely disdains, these rich kids. Jordan's pursuit is of spiritual courage and confidence. Jordan chose Nick because she saw Nick's honesty, which could give Jordan enough security and tolerance. She did not care about Nick's rural background. Jordan did not value material and family background in her pursuit of love, but followed her heart. In The Great Gatsby, Jordan is endowed with the image of a woman in the new era, but after all, the society in which she lives is dominated by male culture, and she more or less displays the characteristics of traditional women. Jordan also had the basic characteristics of women in the society at that time. For example, Jordan was good at lying and had a poor sense of responsibility. Jordan and Daisy may be the same kind of people in terms of personal quality and money values. Jordan's attitude toward her career and her borrowed convertible, while ostensibly protective of her own safety, was also her way of covering up her dysfunctional mental world.Throughout the novel, Jordan witnesses the whole process of all the stories, in which she is accustomed to the various means of men, betrayal, deception, and witness the tragic fate of different characters. Against the background of strong patriarchal culture, Jordan is often powerless in the face of reality and can only rely on herself. Therefore, she often maintains a state of pride and indifference and observes all living beings. Under the background of this era, the tragedy of women makes Jordan become a representative of the new women with the characteristics of The Times.(三) The image analysis of MattelIn the Great Gatsby, in addition to the typical female image of the society at that time represented by Daisy and the female image of the new era represented by Jordan, there is also a tragic female image of Mortell Wilson in the work. Mattel is Tom's mistress and the wife of Car repairman Wilson. Although she was born at the bottom of society, she wanted to enter the upper society, but she was accidentally run over by Daisy, which is the most tragic female image in the whole work.This is the description of Mattel in the work: she wore an oil-stained dark blue crepe de chine dress. There was no beauty in her face, but there was a palpable vitality, as if every nerve in her body was burning. But this kind of vigor is not welcome for the female in the patriarchal society, and will even be despised by the secular world. Different from Daisy, Mattel lives at the bottom of the society, but she is not reconciled to her poverty and hopes to change this poor life through marriage. And Mr. Wilson tricked Her by posing as a rich man. When Mattel discovered The poverty of Mr. Wilson, his vitality began to transfer to the crowd of the upper class, after meeting Tom on the train into his arms, in order to achieve the purpose of entering the upper society.Mattel's energy helped her escape from the lower classes of life. It also led her to devote herself to Tom, to be vain and mercenary. After being Tom's mistress, she gradually forgot her own situation, began to enjoy the vanity of the upper class, self-righteous interference in Tom's life, even put forward to let Tom and Daisy divorce. But She did not know that her behavior had threatened and challenged men's desire for power and male chauvinism. Even after Tom humiliated and beat her, Mattel wanted to continue to rely on Tom for her material and financial needs. Unlike Daisy, who represents the image of upper-class women, Mattel represents the image of lower-class women who can give up themselves for more money and material things.In The Great Gatsby, the image of Mattel is completely contrary to the social status at that time, which subverts the traditional development law that men are strong and women are weak and men are superior to women. Mattel's powerful position in life is not only in her relationships, but also in her spirituality. When it comes to sexual relations, Mattel is not only straightforward but also aggressive, always looking down on her husband Wilson, others would describe Mr. Wilson as "exhausted." This description in the book also suggests to a large extent the strength of Mattel. On a mental level, He often felt that Wilson was too pale and defenseless for him, and claimed that he had never been in love with him. In her daily life, Mattel never respected Wilson, who always followed her like a little woman and did what she wanted. The status of men and women between them was completely opposite to that of men and women under the patriarchal society at that time, resulting in More obvious male characteristics of Mattel.(四) conclusionTo sum up, in the Great Gatsby, the female image described by the author Fitzgerald is very characteristic of The Times. Under the prevailing background of male chauvinism at that time, the fate of women under the suppression of male culture was usually controlled by men, with a certain tragic color. Fitzgerald accurately described the different female images in the social background of that time with delicate brushwork and precise perspective, and attacked the thought of male heroism that was respected by people in the patriarchal social background with deep thought of the society at that time.Reference[1] Margaret Walters.

1．1社会背景《简爱》这部小说是十九世纪中叶英国女作家夏洛特勃朗蒂的成名作和代表作。

十九世纪三十到四十年代之间,工人运动在北方工业地区蓬勃开展起来。

在蔓切斯特和它附近的工厂城市里发生了在革命口号下进行的、人数众多的集会和示威游行；当时的英国，虽然实行了资产阶级民主改革,政府部门表面上采取了某些改革的措施，比如通过了女工实行十小时工作在劳渥德学校制的法案,但是妇女在社会上的地位并没有得到改善,并没有获得平等的权利,即使是经过了三次高潮的宪章运动,吸引了成百万的工人和劳动群众参加争取自身权利的斗争,也没有能提出男女平等问题,但是资产阶级社会的矛盾同时也激发了妇女摆脱男子的压迫和歧视的要求。

在当时的英国,女性是难以取得一席之地的。

尤其是不少处于小资产阶级范畴的妇女，她们受过文化教育，但没有财产，在婚姻市场上缺少竞争能力,往往不得不因贫穷而遭受冷遇，落到寄人篱下、身无分文的境地.对于那些上流社会的女子来说,结婚或终生陪伴父母成为了她们的最终选择。

It was published in London, England, in 1847 with the title Jane Eyre. An Autobiography under the pen name "Currer Bell". The Penguin edition describes it as an "influential feminist text" because of its in-depth exploration of a strong female character's feelings. The novel merges elements of three distinct genres. It has the form of a Bildungsroman, a story about a child's maturation, focusing on the emotions and experiences that accompany growth to adulthood. The novel also contains much social criticism, with a strong sense of morality at its core, and finally has the brooding and moody quality and Byronic character typical of Gothic fiction.It is a novel often considered ahead of its time due to its portrayal of the development of a thinking and passionate young woman who is both individualistic, desiring for a full life, while also highly moral. Jane evolves from her beginnings as a poor and plain woman without captivating charm to her mature stage as a compassionate and confident whole woman. As she matures, she comments much on the complexities of the human condition. Jane also has a deeply pious personal trust in God, but is also highly self-reliant. Although Jane suffers much, she is never portrayed as a damsel in distress who needs rescuing. For this reason, it is sometimes regarded as an important early feminist (or proto-feminist) novel.Jane Eyre is a poor but aspiring small in body but huge in soul obscure but self-respecting girl. After we close the covers of the book after having a long journey of the spirit Jane Eyre a marvelous figure has left us so much to recall and to think: We remember her goodness: for someone who lost arms and blinded in eyes for someone who despised her for her ordinariness and even for someone who had hurt her dee ply in the past. We remember her pursuit of justice. It’s like a companion with the goodness. But still a virtuous person should promote the goodness on one side and must check the badness on the other side. We remember her self-respect and the clear situa tion on equality. In her opinion everyone is the same at the God’s feet. Though there are differences in status、in property and also in appearance but all the humanbeing are equal in personality. We also remember her striving for life her toughness and her confidence.When we think of this girl what she gave us was not a pretty face or a transcendent temperament that make us admire deeply but a huge charm of her personality. Actually she wasn’t pretty and of course the ordinary appearance didn’t make others feel good of her even her own aunt felt disgusted with it. And some others even thought that she was easy to look down on and to tease so when Miss Ingram met Jane Eyre she seemed quite contemptuous for that she was obviously much more prettier than ‘the plain and ugly governess’. But as the little governess had said: ‘Do you think because I am poor obscure plain and little I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong!’ This is the idea of equality in Jane Eyre’s mind. God hadn’t given her beauty and wealt h but instead God gave her a kind mind and a thinking brain. Her idea of equality and self-respect impress us so much and let us feel the power inside her body.If you want to know the famous novel,you must first of it thoroughly understang the background.Through the background,we can have a better understanding of it.We can also the author.writing backgroundJane eyre by 1847 is an autobiography composition is very thick novels, though the story is fictional books, but the heroine and many other character of life, the environment, even many of life's details, are taken from the author and the surrounding people true experience.

Life and worksCharlotte Brontë was born at Thornton, in Yorkshire, England, the third of six children, to Patrick Brontë (formerly "Patrick Brunty"), an Irish Anglican clergyman, and his wife, Maria Branwell. In April 1820 the family moved to Haworth, where Patrick had been appointed Perpetual Curate. Maria Branwell Brontë died of cancer on 15 September 1821, leaving five daughters and a son to the care of her sister Elizabeth Branwell. In August 1824, Charlotte was sent with three of her sisters to the Clergy Daughters' School at Cowan Bridge in Lancashire (which she would describe as Lowood School in Jane Eyre). Its poor conditions, Charlotte maintained, permanently affected her health and physical development, and hastened the deaths of her two elder sisters, Maria (born 1814) and Elizabeth (born 1815), who died of tuberculosis in 1825 soon after they were removed from the school.At home in Haworth Parsonage, Charlotte and the other surviving children —Branwell, Emily, and Anne —were influenced by their father's library of Walter Scott, Byron, Tales of the Genii and The Arabian Nights. They began chronicling the lives and struggles of the inhabitants of their imaginary kingdoms. Charlotte and Branwell wrote stories about their country — Angria — and Emily and Anne wrote articles and poems about theirs — Gondal. The sagas were elaborate and convoluted (and still exist in part manuscripts) and provided them with an obsessive interest in childhood and early adolescence, which prepared them for their literary vocations in adulthood. Charlotte continued her education at Roe Head school in Mirfield from 1831 to 1832, where she met her lifelong friends and correspondents, Ellen Nussey and Mary Taylor. Charlotte returned as a teacher from 1835 to 1838. In 1839 she took up the first of many positions as governess to various families in Yorkshire, a careershe pursued until 1841. In 1842 she and Emily travelled to Brussels to enroll in a pensionnat run by Constantin Heger (1809–1896) and his wife Claire ZoëParent Heger (1804–1890). In return for board and tuition, Charlotte taught English and Emily taught music. Their time at the pensionnat was cut short when Elizabeth Branwell, their aunt who joined the family after the death of their mother to look after the children, died of internal obstruction in October 1842. Charlotte returned alone to Brussels in January 1843 to take up a teaching post at the pensionnat. Her second stay at the pensionnat was not a happy one; she became lonely, homesick, and deeply attached to Constantin Heger. She finally returned to Haworth in January 1844 and later used her time at the pensionnat as the inspiration for some of The Professor and Villette. Portrait of Charlotte Brontë, 1873,Charlotte and her father were now left alone. In view of the enormous success of Jane Eyre, she was persuaded by her publisher to visit London occasionally, where she revealed her true identity and began to move in a more exalted social circle, becoming friends with Harriet Martineau, Elizabeth Gaskell, William Makepeace Thackeray and G. H. Lewes. However, she never left Haworth for more than a few weeks at a time as she did not want to leave her aging father's side.In June 1854, Charlotte married Arthur Bell Nicholls, her father's curate. She died nine months later during her first pregnancy. Her death certificate gives the cause of death as phthisis (tuberculosis), but there is a school of thought that suggests she may have died from her excessive vomiting caused by severe morning sickness in the early stages of pregnancy. There is also evidence to suggest that Charlotte died from typhus she may have caught from Tabitha Ackroyd, the Bronte household's oldest servant, who died shortly before her. Charlotte was interred in the family vault in The Church of St. Michael and All Angels, Haworth, West Yorkshire, England.Chapter two analysis JaneJane is a kind and simple girl, although she humble, small, not beautiful. But she has a ersistent heart.2. 1the beauty of human nature of JaneJane beliefs and actions show come out of power, deeply moved by generation after generation of readers heart. Jane, with her own thought and the personality of the rational knowledge, to their own value and emotional independent judgment, face life, shaping self, accept the challenge, obtain perfect and happy life.the life of JaneJane from the lost parents, lodged at aunt home and was not equal treatment. Aunt was later sent to reach lowood charity school, was cold the principal harmony. Hand over a friend Helen during, but dying of infectious diseases.After leaving school she to very well when the family estate damrong phidej teachers. And with actor rochester love each other, and wedding, but the mysterious man block. Male leading role, the first wife to come on stage, a madman. Jane leave. Along the way she beg nearly starved to death, were the priest st John's rescue, the latter for him to seek a rural teachers' professional. Jane uncle John Jane died, twenty thousand pounds heritage. Then st John's going to India missionary, before I leave to Jane to marry him but he frankly told her, he want to marry her not because love her, but he needs a well-bred assistant. Jane think should repay his kindness, but a significant factor in not promised him. That night, in st John's in wild waiting for Jane answer, in Jane eyre will make the decision, she seems to hear rochester in the distant place shout her name "Jane! Jane! Jane!" She decided to return to rochester side. When Jane back to grace, damrong phidej plantations, the whole park into ruins. Originally a few months ago, on a stormy night, crazy woman Bertha set fire to the whole manor, rochester in order to save her, was burned an arm and blind eyes, live alone in a few miles a farm. Jane to farm, to his own love out, they finally get married; Two years later, the rochester one eye be healed, he saw Jane for his first child was born.Jane’s characterJane character has obvious duality, namely Jane both her true, the good and the beautiful and rich strong rebellious characteristics, strong side; Also has a lack of confidence, always feel inferior, and of the pursuit of love and keep old conservative traditional marriage side. But it's also because this kind of dual character, in English literature character gallery, Jane this character image just appear more plump and is more authenticity. Agree with |comment.2.2The persistent of pursuit of loveJane exist in a parents... sponsor environment, since the childhood under age not the same treatment, aunt abandon, cousin contempt, cousin insults and beaten up...... This is a child of the dignity of ruthless trample, but that's because all this, change back to Jane. Love infinite confidence and strong and unyielding spirit, a victory over the inner personality strength.In front of rochester, she never because he's a status of teachers and beneath the family feel inferior, but think they are equal. Should not because she's servant, and not respected by others. It is because of her integrity, exalted, pure, have not been secular society heart pollution, making rochester to shock, and take her as a can and himself in the spirit of equality in conversation, and slowly deeply in love with her. His sincerity, let she moved, she accepted him.And when they get married of that day of, Jane. Love to know the rochester has a wife, she felt she had to leave, she speak thus, "I want to follow god by the law, issued by the world I will hold me awake and not in like this when the principle of crazy accept", "I want to firmly hold this position". This is Jane told rochester she must reason to leave, but speak from the heart, to a new level of consciousness to his stuff is Jane cheated, her self-esteem was mocked, because she loved rochester, ask which woman can take it was their most trust, the most intimate people cheat? Jane weathered, but also made a very rational decision. In such a very strong power to love surrounded under, in a beautiful, rich life temptation, she still to stand as a personal dignity, this is Jane most to have the spiritual glamour place.Novel design a very light-although the end of rochester estate ruin, he also became a a disabled, but we see, it is such a condition, make Jane no longer in dignity and conflicts between the love,while satisfying--her and rochester got married in the dignity, but also there is love.The novel tells us that our life is the best of the dignity of people with love, the ending of the novel to the heroine of the arrangement is a kind of life. Though I think so of final outcome too perfect, even the perfect itself marks snorkelling, but I still respect the author to the good life ideal-is dignity and love, after all in today's society, will people's value = dignity + love the way the pay of the formula can often help realize the money. People are crazy for money and position seems to be covered and love. In the poor and the rich choice between rich, in love and do not love to choose between not love. Few people will like Jane such as love for personality give up all, and any reservation.Jane eyre have show our is a change numerous for brief, is a kind of art, is a kind of pursuit of the whole heart pay feeling, is a simplified feelings regardless of the gain and loss, it is like a glass of ice water, and purify every reader of mind, also cause readers, especially the resonance of the female readers.Chapter three conlusionThis is a story about a special and unreserved woman who has been exposed to a hostile environment but continuously and fearlessly struggling for her ideal life. The story can be interpreted as a symbol of the independent spirit.It seems to me that many readers’ English reading experience starts with Jane Eyer. I am of no exception. As we refer to the movie “Jane Eyer”, it is not surprising to find some differences because of its being filmized and retold in a new way, but the spirit of the novel remains----to be an independent person, both physically and mentally.Jane Eyer was a born resister, whose parents went off when she was very young, and her aunt，the only relative she had，treated her as badly as a ragtag. Since Jane’s education in Lowwood Orphanage began, she didn’t get what she had been expecting——simply being regarded as a common person, just the same as any other girl around. The suffers from being humiliated and devastated teach Jane to be persevering and prize dignity over anything else.As a reward of revolting the ruthless oppression, Jane got a chance to be a tutor in Thornfield Garden. There she made the acquaintance of lovely Adele and that garden’s owner, Rochester, a man with warm heart despite a cold face outside. Jane expected to change the life from then on, but fate had decided otherwise: After Jane and Rochester fell in love with each other and got down to get marry, she unfortunately came to know in fact Rochester had got a legal wife, who seemed to be the shadow following Rochester and led to his moodiness all the time ----Rochester was also a despairing person in need of salvation. Jane did want to give him a hand, however, she made up her mind to leave, because she didn’t want to betray her own principles, because she was Jane Eyer. The film has finally got a symbolist end: Jane inherited a large number of legacies and finally returned. After finding Rochester’s misfortune brought by his original mad wife, Jane chose to stay with him forever.I don’t know what other s feel, but frankly speaking, I would rather regard the section that Jane began her teaching job in Thornfield as the film’s end----especiallywhen I heard Jane’s words “Never in my life have I been awaken so happily.” For one thing, this ideal and brand-new beginning of life was what Jane had been imagining for long as a suffering person; for another, this should be what the audiences with my views hoped her to get. But the professional judgment of producing films reminded me to wait for a totally different result: There must be something wrong coming with the excellence----perhaps not only should another section be added to enrich the story, but also we may see from the next transition of Jane’s life that “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know w hat you would get.” (By Forrest Gump’s mother, in the film “Forrest Gump”)What’s more, this film didn’t end when Jane left Thornfield. For Jane Eyer herself, there should always be somewhere to realize her great ideal of being independent considering her fortitude, but for Rochester, how he can get salvation? The film gives the answer tentatively: Jane eventually got back to Rochester. In fact, when Jane met Rochester for the first time, she scared his horse and made his heel strained, to a certain extent, which meant Rochester would get retrieval because of Jane. We can consider Rochester’s experiences as that of religion meaning. The fire by his frantic wife was the punishment for the cynicism early in his life. After it, Rochester got the mercy of the God and the love of the woman whom he loved. Here we can say: human nature and divinity get united perfectly in order to let such a story accord with the requirements of both two sides. The value of this film may be due to its efforts to explore a new way for the development of humanism under the faith of religion.Work citesa)Jian Tong, sites world classic literature appreciation ".

Because the novel throbs with the heart-beats of its author, both literary critics and the readers have taken great interest in its unconventional heroine Jane Eyre, whose unconventionality is shown in the heroine’s pursuit of liberty, equality and independence. It is an autobiographical novel in a certain degree. This essay attempts to prove Jane is a real feminist through the analysis of her personality. Jane Eyre is a typical and magnificent representative in English literature, not only for her plain but famous appearance but also for her character’s outsta nding and alien thoughts.

She writes lots of works in her life. She sets to work on a new novel,Jane Eyre, which is published in August, 1847. Jane Eyre is her masterpiece which is a world famous novel. Jane Eyre has been translated into many languages and is always high in reading popularity. Jane Eyre, a plain, timid, weak and pale girl who appears to be a heroine, exists in numerous people’s minds. It seem s to be a strange phenomenon. How can she arouse the eminent attention of the readers throughout the world? Because Jane Eyre stands for an idealized woman in the 19th century. Charlotte Bronte aims at awakening women's consciousness and courage to equal rights and freedom. Jane Eyre cuts a completely new woman image. She represents those middle-class working women who are struggling for the recognition of their basic rights and equality as a human being. Jane strives with all difficulties to gain women’s liberation and to pursue freedom, equality and true love. The analysis of Jane’s personalities and her attitudes toward love has shown partly Jane’s love — a kind of direct, enthusiastic and faithful love. The story of the independent-minded Jane and her love affair with Mr. Rochester opens up new dimension for women. She is a typical character of awakening bourgeois intellectual women. The heroine Jane moves most readers as a kind and unique image in spite of her plainness, poverty and low position. The profound meaning of Jane’s personalities makes this novel an extremely important work lists in the history of world literature as well as in the English literature.Chapter One The D evelopment of Jane Eyre’s Resistance1.1 Outburst period at GatesheadJane Eyre seems to be pale, thin and weak. She is like a piece of dust, nobody pays attention to her. At any time she may disappear. She was born an orphan, with an unfortunate family and long time repressive feeling; she builds up her resistant emotion. Under this background, everyone looks down upon her. Jane asks herself “why was I always suffering, always browbeaten, always abused, for ever condemned.” (Bronte, 2002:13) Her reason says “unjust!-unjust!” (Bronte, 2002:14) A first angry voice bursts out from her deep heart. When John beats her again, she attacks him viciously. She shouts at him, “Wicked and cruel boy! You are like a murderer —you are like a slav e-driver—you are like the Roman emperors!" (Bronte, 2002:7) When Mrs. Reed tells Mr. Brocklehurst that Jane has a bad character and a deceitful disposition, she defends that “I am not deceitful: if I were, I should say I loved you; but I declare I do not love you: I dislike you the worst of anybody in the world except John Reed; and this book about the liar, you may give it to your girl, Georgiana, for it is she who tells lies, and not I." (Bronte, 2002:48) However, Jane is a brave soldier who dares to face up all kinds of injustice and fights against them. Before she leaves Gateshead, she rebukes her aunt’s cruelty, “How dare I, Mrs. Reed? How dare I? Because it is the truth. You think I have no feelings and that I can do without one bit of love or kindness; but I cannot live so: and you have no pity. I shall remember how you thrust me back—roughly and violently thrust me back—into the red- room, and locked me up there, to my dying day; though I was in agony; though I cried out, while suffocating with distress, ‘Have mercy! Have mercy, Aunt Reed!’And that punishment you made me suffer because your wicked boy struck me—knocked me down for nothing. I will tell anybody who asks me questions, this exact tale. People think you a good woman, but you are bad, hard-hearted. You are deceitful!” (Bronte, 2002:49) Jane suffers various violent treatments by her aunt and cousins; she tries her best to be a good girl but only results in failure in Mrs. Reed’seyes.Jane resists and resists, but finally breaks out and speaks all her anger; Jane’s courage frightens Mrs. Reed, for she knows Jane is right. In those days at Gateshead Hall, Jane's strong, brave and unbending characteristics are expressed step by step. Her every behavior shows her great indignation. Isolation, poverty, discrimination and oppression cause her to revolt against the unfair society in her own way. Jane is driven away from and escapes from Reed’s house partly because of fearless courage. Jane fights not only for just treatment, but also for equality. This is the first step of the development of Jane Eyre’s rebellious character.1.2 Jane’s resistance at Lowood InstitutionLowood Institution is a charity school for poor clergymen’s da ughters. Jane lives here for eight years. Her rebellious sprits become mature. In fact it is a hell for poor girls. The school is like a prison dominated by cold, implacable cruelty and Brocklehurst. Children here are not supplied with enough food, clothes and good treatment of disease. Many of them die of illness. They have no love and sympathy at all, living in hunger and cold. Children must pray for God and thank for oppressors. Helen, a clever, intelligent and beautiful girl receives curse and beat, finally loses her young life. She believes in God. She says to Jane, “I am sure there is a future state; I believe God is good; I can resign my immortal part to Him without any misgiving. God is my father; God is my friend: I love Him; I believe He loves me.”(Bronte, 2002:121) Just because of these ideas, Helen has n’t a little rebel against that kind of cruel treatment.However Jane is not like Helen. She always tries to rebel, though she is still a child. She tells Helen: “A great deal: you are good to those who are good to you. It is all I ever desire to be. If people were always kind and obedient to those who are cruel and unjust, the wicked people would have it all their own way: they would never feel afraid, and so they would never alter, but would grow worse and worse. When we are struck at without a reason, we should strike back again very hard; I am sure we should—so hard as to teach the person who struck us never to do it again." (Bronte,2002:82) This rhythmic and forceful speech embodies the deep bourgeois oppression of the lower women and Jane’s rebellious spirit. To achieve independence as an equal human, Jane never yields to fate and background. She does as she says. Her attitude towards her cousins, her aunt and Mr. Brocklehurst all proves it.Another woman, Miss Temple, is also admired and deeply loved by Jane. Miss Temple’s learning stimulates Jane’s longing for intelligence and Miss Temple’s kindness stirs up her enthusiasm for ideal life. So when Miss Temple leaves Lowood, Jane can’t put up with dullness and isolation there. She thinks that now she is left in her natural element, and begins to feel the stirring of old emotions. Jane looks forward to a new life and a free sky. No matter what will happen in the future, she will face it bravely. The rebellious fury is burnt again. Then Jane makes an advertisement and gets a governess profession at Thornfield. In this period, Jane’s rebellious spirit is up to a new standard and catches a more profound meaning. Her fighting is not only against a person, but against the social convention.1.3 The perfection period at Thornfield and Moor HouseAt Thornfield, Jane, as a grown-up, changes her harshness into a refined woman with good education, delicacy of feeling and gentleness of manners. At Thornfield she gets along well with everyone. Jane is mild to everyone. Adele, a girl without talent is carefully taught by Jane and made safe and happy. In such a wild world, she forgets her pain and her misery. Furthermore, she learns to be tolerant to others’ shortcomings. Hearing that Mrs. Reed is dying, she comes back soon to Gateshead. Although she once has told Mrs. Reed that she never wants to see her again, she forgets and forgives her. Jane’s delicate feeling is best revealed when she meets Rochester, who is hurt. She gives him a hand in a polite way. In spite of his rude rejection, she says, “I can not think of leaving you, sir, at so late an hour, in this solitary lane, till I see you are fit to mount your horses.” (Bronte, 2002:173)When Jane falls in love with Rochester, she is awaken and still keeps her resistance; she makes her every effort to rebel against social prejudice and customs, struggling for independence and true love. She dares to say “no” to anyone, includingher master, Mr. Rochester who is domineering and arrogant. When she talks with Mr. Rochester, she doesn’t avoid saying what she thinks whether Mr. Rochester is happy or not. On the wedding between Jane and Rochester, Jane is told that Rochester has married before. Bertha Mason, a mad woman is his wife who has been living in Thornfield. At the bad news, Jane knows if she lives with him, she will fall into the category of mistress and lose her respect. The dream of freedom, happiness and the independence which she was looking forward to would become fancies. The strength of reason is power over emotion. Jane leaves Thornfield resolutely to meet unknown fate in the future. When she almost starves to death, St. John helps her. Jane’s sp irit of revolt is obviously expressed by her refusal of St. John’s offer of marriage .Jane never changes her will to follow St. John. She thinks, “If I join St. John, I abandon half myself, if I go to India, I go to premature death”, “if I do make the sacrifice he urges, I will make it absolutely: I will throw all on the altar—heart, vitals, the entire victim.”(Bronte, 2002:642) Jane says to St. John, “I scorn your idea of love.”(Bronte, 2002:649) Jane dares to rebel against St. John’s offer because she th inks they are equal. She has the right to rebel against him. This period is the perfection of Jane Eyre’s rebelli ons.Chapter Two Jane Eyre’s Pursuit of Independence andFreedom2.1 Jane begins to realize the importance of independence and freedomIndependence is the outstanding quality throughout the whole process of the novel. Jane Eyre is not pretty and her character is unique. She is maltreated by her cousins and aunt. One day, when Jane takes John’s book to read, he beat s her once more. John says that Jane has no business to take his books; “Y ou have no business to take our books; you are a dependant, mama says, you have no money; your father left you none; you ought to beg, and not to live here with gentlemen’s children like us, and eat the same meals we do, and wear clothes at our mama’s expense”. (Bronte, 2002:7) When she fights against him severely, she is sent to Red Room.In the Red Room, she is frightened, but she keeps a clear mind that she realizes she needs to be saved from her blind fear of authority and be self-reliant. Her mind is in tumult, and all her heart in insurrection, her reason says “unjust! I never compromise to them. I shall be independent.” (Bronte, 2002:14) She hates Gateshead, hates everyone there. She hates Mrs. Reed who is a bad, hard-hearted woman. She treats her with miserable cruelty. Gateshead is a shelter for her, which teaches her a lot of things. Only when she is independent, can she be respected by others.After all, she is a little girl, it is hard for her to be economically independent. Therefore, she decides to be independent, self-sufficient in her mind. The Reeds are really mean to her and she thinks they suck. Of course, the feeling is mutual. Therefore, she is spared from the Reeds and is sent to a low budget orphan school called Lowood Institution.2.2 Jane gains strength from her teacher and her friend to achieve herindependenceAt Lowood Institution, under the hypocritical Evangelicalism of the headmaster, Mr. Brocklehurst, she suffers further privation in the austere environment. Thecondition there is disgusting, but Jane does n’t submit to it. She gain s her strength from her teacher and her fellow students to achieve her independence. Maria Temple, an independent woman, is the headmaster of the Institution. She is a responsible teacher, and kind to the students, even the low students. Consequently, she gains respect and popularity from the people around her. From Maria Temple, Jane learns that independence is a very important thing for everyone.In our modern society, it seems to be more important to be independent. Jane learns the importance of duty and self-control through the friendship with Helen. At the beginning, Jane has much sympathy for Helen. Because Helen does n’t dare to fight against the person who insults her. When Helen is to be flogged and to be asked to stand in the middle of a room that full of people. Jane thinks that Helen should turn against others when she is bullied; she should resist against Miss Scatcherd, and dislike Miss Scatcherd. From these we can see that Jane is not obedient to anyone if someone bullies her, she will do the same thing to others. As known to all, it is not violence that best overcomes hatred, nor vengeance that most certainly heals injury. And Jane learns these from Helen. Jane is deeply moved by Helen’s actions and words. “Yet it would be your duty to bear it, if you could not avoid it: it is weak and silly to say you cannot bear what your fate to be required to bear”. (Bronte, 2002:79) Then through the friendship with Helen, she learns to be self-control in a certain degree. “It is far better to endure patiently a smart which nobody feels but yourself, than to commit a hasty action whose evil consequences will extend to all connected with you; and besides, the Bible bids us return good for evil”. (Bronte, 2002:79) Jane stays at Lowood for 8 years. She attempts to do well in all aspects. She makes rapid progress both in study and work. She becomes stronger than before in her heart. The idea of breaking out the conservative puritan life does not occur to her. She longs for a new form of life. So she gets a job by herself.2.3 Jane develops her independence fully and learns the pleasure of itIn order to lead a life of independence, Jane works as a governess at Thornfield Hall. She is looks down upon by the rich ladies of the fashionable society, but she never despises herself, she never feels herself inferior. She is satisfied with, and even proud of her honest, independent work. She loves Rochester who is in a large possession of fortune and in a high social position, but she never thinks of relying on these things. Once she immediately answers Rochester’s question about what else she needs, by saying, “Your regard: and if I give mine in return, that debt will be quit.”(Bronte, 2002:424) This kind of independence is irrevocable out of her pure soul which hasn’t been contaminated by the earthy care at all and represented the pur e uprightness. When the happiness reaches the highest point where she is about to be the dreamy person’s wife, Jane ke eps a clear mind, protecting her independence and her personality. She refuses all the precious gifts that could have been owned as a fiancee and reminded Rochester again and again of the responsibility she should continue to fulfill as a governess.As Rochester’s bri de, she continues to be Adele’s governess; when Rochester intends to give her a lot of jewelry and beautiful clothes, she refuses. Generally, beautiful clothes and jewelries are the favorite things to women. Jane thinks that real love is not based on money and jewelry. Her love does n’t mix with other strange ideas. In her opinion, self-respect, independence and equal rights are the fundamental elements of one’s love. She does n’t want to be the slave of money, and she d oes n’t want to rely on others. They fall in deep love with each other. Rochester does n’t want Jane to go on working，he wishes Jane belongs to him and considers Jane as his property．Jane refuses his suggestion without any hesitation．In her opinion，if she loses her job, she must depend on Rochester to live，thus independence says goodbye to her. She doesn’t want to be a thing of Rochester. At last, she decides to preserve her independence.With the news coming that Rochester’s wife is still alive, Jane is driven back to her original status. It means that Jane is just a lover to him. By this time, there are two roads in front of her: One is to be the lover of Rochester. The other is away from Rochester to begin a new life. Actually, it’s very sad for Jane to leave the place sheliked, and the man she deeply loved. However, Jane is the unique! She is determined to leave Thornfield without any hesitation. As we know that nothing can succeed in confining her before her resistant spirit .The powerful shout of the born independent spirit from her heart remains her independence. The natural strength of independence overwhelms her, “still indomitable was the reply—I care for myself. The more solitary, the more friendless, and the more unsustained I can be, the more I will respect myself.” (Bronte, 2002:467) With Jane and Rochester’s suffering the readers’ compassion is also aroused besides the feeling of pity. There is no defying that the blood of independence is going through Jane’s whole body from the day she was born. Fleeing from calamity solitarily, she does not hesitate all prices to maintain her own personality, dignity, and rebellions and independence is portrayed more perfect, and richer. Nowadays, as to women, we can’t depend on men completely. We should earn money through our efforts, we must be independent, never be subsidiary to others.In order to get dignity, freedom and independence, she runs away. At the prerequisite of maintaining her own character she does n’t take the jewelry and clothes which Rochester gives her. Jane arrives at the desolate crossroads of whitcross and is reduced to begging for food. Fortunately, the Rivers siblings helped her. At Moor House, Jane learns the pleasure of self-sufficiency. She lives a happy life there. She develops great affection for the ladies, Diana and Mary, and they are really nice to her. Jane becomes spiritually stronger and more confident through the friendship with Diana and Mary. She does n’t want to live there for a long time. She intend s to find a job to support herself, so St. John finds a job for her to teach at the local school. While teaching, she gains more social respect, and her students make progress quickly. Furthermore, the students and their parents like her very much. She is very happy and satisfied with her own conditions. As a teacher, her students’ progress and popularity are the best gifts to her.Chapter Three Jane Eyre’s Attitude Towards Love3.1True love should be based on equality and mutual understandingFrom the strong ego and independent personality, Jane seeks for love which should be based on mutual understanding, equality, respect and attraction. Jane is a governess, who has the profession with very low social position. Nearly no one looks up on it at that time. Being born of second class, Jane is sensitive about her position in society. She hopes that she can live with the same self-esteem as everyone in the upper class. She works very hard to be a good lady to reach the norm which is required by the upper class. Then she is eager to be admitted by the man who she loves, i.e. Rochester. Generally speaking, people are often satisfied with beloved one’s compliment. As for Jane, things are the same. Rochester is one of the members of the upper class. Rochester is a rich gentleman with high social status and reputation. But Rochester falls in love with Jane, so does Jane. Jane doesn’t pay much attention t o the difference between their social positions, because she only admires and believes in marriage based on true love. Humble job and poverty cannot stop her loving an upper class gentleman. On this point, she shows a woman's extra strength to take a risky love with Rochester and keeps her self-esteem. She respects the mutual equality of personality.Jane’s viewpoint shows she has clear self-awake sense of love. As a woman living in the society unequal between men and women, Jane doesn’t follow the outmoded conventions. She believes men and women are equal even if not in property, but in personality. When Rochester tells Jane that he is going to marry Miss Ingram and he insists that Jane must stay at Thornfield. Jane is angry at it. Let us see how Jane retorts to Rochester’s teasing.“I tell you I must go!” “Do you think I can stay to become nothing to you? Do you think I am an automaton?––a machine without feelings? And I can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips, and my drop of living water dashed from my lips? Do you think I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless?In fact you think wrong!––I have as much soul as you, and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty. and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you .I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh; it is my spirit that addressed your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God’s feet, equal,—as we are!”(Bronte, 2002:396) Rochester understands fully and esteems her. Jane still maintains self-control and clear-headed when she becomes Rochester’s fiancée. She wants to protect her honor and independence. When Rochester buys diamond necklace, bracelet, ring, etc., which means to bind her, she refuses those gifts and reminds her, “I shall continue to act as Adele’s governess; by that I shall earn my board and lodging, and thirty pounds a year besides.” (Bronte, 2002:423) Thus she is such a person who regards her dignity sacredly and inviolably. Jane seeks for happiness and love, but she does n’t think love is supreme. She can throw away traditions to follow love, but she will never sacrifice her dignity and independence for the reason of love. Obtaining equality in life is Jane's ambition. It is equality that makes her love Rochester with all of her heart and soul; also it is equality that makes her leave Rochester with her disappointment and distress. Life is hard to Jane.On their wedding day, a secret is exposed that Rochester has a mad wife locked for several years, and then Jane resolutely gives up Rochester and is determined not to be a mistress. Jane's ambition, of course, forbids her to accept the unequal position of being the mistress of someone’s husband. She has her self-respect and must keep her nobility. Being an illegal mistress benefits her nothing but reduces her virtue and demoralizes her personality. Then she would have to depend on Rochester and lose her quality, independence and freedom. So she chooses the distress of leaving Rochester to realize her pursuit.3.2 The marriage pursued by women must be based on true loveAt that time, women were first customarily dependent on their parents then upon husbands. Their parents tried their best to choose good husbands for their daughters.The choices of husbands and fates were determined by men’s social position s and properties, rather than personalities and sincere emotions. Usually, women’s rationa l consideration triumphed over their personal interests. A problem raises in the novel is the position of a woman in society. Jane Eyre, the heroine of the novel, maintains that women should have equal rights with men. When she decides to leave her love, she is very sad. But Jane will feel unpeaceful if she does not leave and stays with Rochester as a lover. And she would not be her cousin’s wife without love. It is very easy to choose one’s own love in today’s England. But it is not so easy to do it in the 18th and 19th century England.Jane thinks that it is a glorious thing to have the hope of living with him and being his wife. Jane loves him with her whole heart. They have a meeting of the mind. But in that social background, people pay too much attention to property, rank and status. If the disparity is great, a pair of lovers would suffer disagreement with their families and their friends. Mrs. Fairfax, one of Rochester’s servants, is very surprised and feels puzzled that her master is madly clinging to Jane. In their opinion, Blanche Ingram, who is a typical representative of the rich class, is so beautifu1, rich and has the same high social position. She is regarded as Thornfield wife of Rochester in the future by most people. She is the ideal wife of Rochester. If Rochester marries Ingram, it is natura1．Because in that society，people’s sense of love is on the basis of money. In their eyes，money is everything，money is marriage. For the sake of money they can marry anyone even though the husband or the wife is an idiot. So the marriage between Rochester and Ingram is fair and reasonable．In their opinion, Jane is an ordinary looking woman without wealth, so she can never match Rochester. But with the development of the plot，Miss Ingram is proven to be a loser．Rochester is deeply attracted by Jane and gives up Ingram. Jane defeats her though Jane has no property and beauty. Jane’s plainness，poverty, position and disposition are contrasted to Ingram’s obviously. Jane is kind，intelligent, sympathetic and thoughtful, while Ingram’s minds is poor and hypocritica1.She has no sympathy at al1. She plans to marry Rochester only because of Rochester’ s property，Ingram tries her best tofascinate Rochester again and again，unfortunately，she falls again and again. Jane is fully aware of it．She witnesses “repeated failure s”．The party is the climax of the novel and the essence of the book. At the party，Jane’s victory is complete. According to her beautiful personality and the strength of her noble spirit，Jane drives those aristocrats away from competitive stages．High position and great wealth shows by the noble class are put aside．Jane gets glorious victory．The marriage pursued by women must be based on true love. She distains the money and hunt marriage, and looks down upon her artificial and hypocritical manners.The way she gets to know Rochester well is talking with him, observing him and getting agreements with him. She falls in love with Rochester not at the first sight but after a fairly long time of acquaintance. Before she completely knows Rochester Jane only takes him as the master and an object for talking. Every time she talks with him, her attitude to Rochester changes. Through communicating with each other by their minds, they gradually come to a harmony in spirit. Jane thinks, “The ease of his manner freed me from painful restraint; the friendly frankness, correct as cordial，with which he heated me, drew me to him. I felt at times as if he were my relation rather than my master: yet he was imperious sometimes still; but 1 did not mind that.”(Bronte, 2002:225) This is Jane's revelation of true feeling to Rochester. Only when Jane understands Rochester, can she appropriately analyse and accept Rochester’s character. Understanding each other and getting harmonious in spirit，the solid base of their true love. Jane loves Rochester’s value as a man, instead of his properties, social and family status. So, whether Rochester is a rich person in the upper-class society, or is afflicted with calamity and becomes totally-blinded disabled man; whether Jane is a poor and plain governess in Thornfield, or she becomes a rich heiress in one night. Nothing can change her steadfast love for Rochester.After leaving Rochester’s home, Thornfield Hall, Jane walks and travels without any aim. She lives in hunger and cold. As she roams about a whit cross, she is nearly dead because she suffers terrible hardships. St. John helps her and saves her life. St John wants to marry Jane and takes her to India with him. Although he is a little。

自从作品问世以来，一直受到文学评论界的关注。

尤其是作品中对女性独立与平等的追求，使得小说中女主人公简爱的形象负载了西方妇女在19世纪开始觉醒的女性意识。

英国文学不乏叛逆女性的形象，但像简爱那样卑微、平凡、孤苦无依而又相貌平平的“弱势”女性，如此自觉地对抗强大的父权社会，算是空前的。

此篇论文从女性主义的角度出发，通过对作品中女主人公简爱的分析，揭示小说中所反映的维多利亚时期女性性别意识的觉醒和当时女性的社会地位。

在维多利亚时期女性地位得到了提高，女性意识得到了发展，但是仍然受到社会等级和社会地位的限制。

但总体来说，随着时代的发展，女性地位和女性意识都得到了不同程度的提高。

The Feminist Voice in Jane Eyre

The Feminist Voice in 《Jane Eyre》Summary: Charlotte shapes a very vivid female image in 《Jane Eyre》. Jane Eyre always behaves responsibly and dares to love and hate, although she has no beautiful appearance and noble birth. At the same time, she fights against social inequality, then pursues social equality, behaves independently. She comes into being the symbol of the traitor at length. Jane’s growth process and emotional experience reflectes the writer Charlotte’s mind: women should try their own best to pursue the equality of economy, marriage, personality and society, instead of being willing to play roles that society points to them.Keywords: Feminist, equality of men and women, self-worthPreface:《Jane Eyre》is Charlotte Brontë’s second novel who is a famous realistic writer in 19th century in Britain. Certainly, it’s her most famous production. Not only is it a romantic novel, but also a female literature at real degree. The feminist announced in 《Jane Eyre》is greatly influential in Victoria era in Britain. The core is that: object the male chauvinism to enslaving the feminist, stress men and women equality of rights and status, appeal women to achieve their self-worth rather than being limited in patriarchy. 《Jane Eyre》draws a number of feminist critics’ attention, including Hélene Cixous, SandraM. Gilbert and Susan Gubar, because it subverts the inequality of the patriarchy, the goal of feminist is to establish and improve women’s social status.Despite Jane Eyre’s bad living environment and bitter gr owth experience, she still tried her own best to become a tutor, pursuing the economic equality. Jane Eyre had a poor birth without outgoing appearance, but she was very honest and independent. She fell in love with the host Rochester, when she served as a tutor for a litter girl Adele who had been adopted by Rochester. It was brave of Jane Eyre to express her own love, this way showing the females’ emotion and self-worth. At the beginning, she pursued her ideal love, then she paid more attention to the men and women equality of rights and status, simmered to pursue the cognition and aspiration of the females’ self-worth, these series of changes showing blazing feminist.1：The source of feminist1.1: Social and historical backgroundFeminist dates from the last 19th century in France earliest, then popularly spreads out to the United Kingdom and the United States. It refers that end the sexism, sexual exploitation, sexual gender discrimination and sexual repression, establish and launch the social theory and political movement which aims at improving the equality of sex classification. Feminism theme involves discrimination, stereotyping, materialization, body, repression and patriarchy, aiming at appreciating the essence of inequality and stressing above the sexual politics, right relation and sexual consciousness.1.2: Feminism angle in 《Jane Eyre》First of all, Charlotte Brontë writes《Jane Eyre》by female identity. Then, Charlotte not only writes in first person in 《Jane Eyre》, but also draws her own growth process, emotional experience and life perception into 《Jane Eyre》. Both two points show her feminist. She thinks that females who are an independent group, rather than relying on any other groups, take procession of their own legal right and self-worth. At the same time, these thoroughly reflect the desire to pursuing feminist of Jane Eyre, or Charlotte herself.2：Feminist voice in 《Jane Eyre》2.1: Economic independenceOnly a few women can be educated in school luckily in the Victoria era when the writer Charlotte experienced. However, women’s social status can’t be improved, What’s more, it came into being lower. They more like the accessory of the patriarchal society, instead of taking procession of their equal rights. According to traditional concept, females should be responsible for males and housework, then they dedicated their whole life to the family. Nevertheless, Charlotte had realized that females should go out family, go ahead society and go in for jobs, only in this way can they make a living by themselves.As the saying from 《Jane Eyre》goes: peope are not always happy with a quiet life, and women need adventure, even if men do not believe it! Only would they have their own projects ,they couldn’t have to make aliving for reducing themselves to become the accessory of the patriarchal society. Therefore, although she had just a few salaries as a tutor, she didn’t give it u p at all, inspite of getting an abundant heritage soon. During the time of being a tutor to Adele in Thornfield, her economic independence consciousness was shown most vividly.2.2: A view of loveThere being a classical sentence in 《Jane Eyre》can most show her view of love: do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong! I have so much soul as you, and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh; it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God’s feet, equal, as we are!In traditional concept, women’s appearance and family status were the unique standard of their worth. While Charlotte shaped heroin Jane Eyre who had no beautiful appearance and noble birth in opposite way. Women didn’t deserve to exist, much less the right of pursuing love. As if traditional marriage view had nothing common with love, it more like a deal, or combination of interests. Charlotte recognized from her emotional experience: Marriage should be based on love, the real love is spiritual fit and spiritual integration between lovers, rather than being influenced by any other cases. In 《Jane Eyre》, Jane Eyre expressed her opinion from her soul bravely, instead of covering it up, when she recognized that she fell in love with host Rochester. Then, she determined to leave Rochester, while she loved him very much, when she known Rochester have had a wife Bertha who was silly. On account of, the feminist she hold was not narrow at all, being suppl anted in her love’s affections for Bertha is not moral. Lastly, Jane heard a yelling :” Jane! Jane! Jane!” suddenly, when John proposed her. Having realized she still loved Rochester verymuch, she later returned back to Rochester who hadbeen disabled, because she all the time believed that Rochester and her were equal and interlinked in spirit. As the result, she had enough courage to break through so-called blocks: age gap, the disparity of status, and even physical deformity. In fact, John proposed Jane becausehe thought Jane was fit for being a priest’s wife for her quality instead of loving her in practice. It was also a miniature that inequality of women in the patriarchy society.The real love isn’t not only men’s conquest of women, but also not the temptation of women to men, but the attraction and echo between spirit and soul. Thus it can be seen that Charlotte’s view of love has risen of things to feminism level.2.3: Self-worthThe process of Jane Eyre pursuing her self-worth is step-by-step in protest again and again. Self-worth is a kind of wealth inside, like Jana said:” you know some birds are not meant to be caged, their feathers are just too bright. There is something insi de, that they can’t get to, that they can’t touch. That’s yours.” Jane Eyre suffered from her cousins’ peremptoriness, sisters’ indignity, aunts’ spite and servants’ discrimination all the time during her childhood. They always had excuse to abusing her, while she behaved well. However, Jane Eyre not only bravely protested against them, but also insisted in illustrating that she was a person, instead of suspecting her own self-worth rely on others’ atti tudes to her. Jane Eyre studied in Lowood School in a bad condition, and even she suffered abusing, but she yielded at no time. She became a teacher in Lowood School depends on her own ability and talent at length, accomplishing her self-worth.Conclusion: Jane Eyre is independent and strong-willed, spending her whole life pursuing the ideal love, the equality of men and women and accomplishment ofself-worth, these points showing the worth of existence and the significance of life. From my perspective, Charlotte’s feminist is not perfect, as a matter of fact that Jane Eyre pursues her ideal love at the expense of her whole life thorough Jane Eyre’s view of love is dependent on male’s role at some degree, afterwards she was influenced by the patriarchal society in tradition. One of the reason why her feminist is not perfect is that Charlotte still thinks the female’s end-result is in the family. Yet, objectively speaking, the aspiration and yearning of the equality of men and women of Charlotte takes on a greatly active significance in Victoria era in Britain. Being regarded as the pioneer of Women’s Liberation Movement , Charlotte’s feminist laid the foundation for the later imposing Feminism Movement.References:[1] Hélene Cixous《Le Rire de la Méduse》[M] （1975）[2] SandraM.

On Jane Eyre from Feminist Theory 简爱中的女权主义

On Jane Eyre from Feminist TheoryChapter 1 IntroductionJane Eyre is a famous novel in foreign literature history. Many people read this book and begin to think her romantic life. Many scholars have begun to realize the value and effect of her feminist thought. As we all known, we can easily find the most important character—independence from the heroine Jane’s struggle to society and attitude to love. Jane Eyre is not only a lively and real woman but also a representation of new female. Different people regard her as different roles from their unique angle of view. This paper mainly discusses Jane Eyre’s character and life experience from feminist theory and helps reader to get touch with the soul of Jane. 1.1Jane Eyre’s author-Charlotte BronteJane Eyre’s author is the British novelist Charlotte Bronte. She was born in a clerical family in 1816. Her family sat in a small village of the northern England She is the third child in the family and has two younger sisters and a brother. Bronte sisters are the famous female writers in the British literature but Charlotte is the most popular among sisters. She has a miserable childhood because her mother died when she was only five years old. And her father’s income was too low to maintain the expenditure. Although the life of her family was very hard and deplorable, she never gives up the hope of life. She was send to the boarding school with her sisters, but the life condition was so terrible that she and her sister Emily decided to go back home. They spend their childhood in desolate mountainous village. Then she went to Ms Word’s school to study at fifteen. A few years later she became a teacher in this school. In order to enlarge her eyeshot, she decided to be a governess in private family. But she gave up this job because she can’t bear the discrimination from noblewoman and richer. Charlotte Bronte also was a girl who wanted to study and improve herself. She and her sister went to Italy to study French and German by her aunt’s help. When she came back hometown, she began to set a school by herself. But no people came to herschool. Although her plan was fail finally, she was deeply influenced by the study experience in Italy and began her way on written. Evermore she dedicated all her life to the literature.1.2Jane Eyre’s heroine-Jane EyreJane Eyre is a novel about a kind-hearted woman who pursuits freedom and independent love. She is a unique female in her era. Jane’s parents died when she was only a child. In order to survive she must lived with her aunt. During the life in her aunt’s family, she suffered from the maltreatment. Occasionally she got an opportunity to go to the boarding school. But the life in the school was not happy because girls were often regarded as the inferior. She studied there six years, and then became a teacher in that school. She wanted to experience different life and made an advertisement on newspaper. Luckily she got a job to be a governess in Thorn field and met her lover Mr. Edward Rochester. Jane had a wonderful life there and decided to get married with him finally. But before the wedding Jane found Rochester had got married and his wife still alive. With no doubt this was a serious shock for her. Although Mr. Rochester had anguish, Jane can not accept him and decided to leave him to seek the peace of her own heart. Then she suffered the tribulation and illness. At that time she met St. John Rivers who helped her get rid of the terrible life. They found that they are cousin before long. This kind and gentle man wanted to marry with Jane. But Jane refused because she didn’t love him and seek her independence and equality. Jane got a considerable sum of heritage surprisingly from her uncle. She can live an ascendant life, but she can’t forget Rochester and backed to Thorn field. Although Rochester was blind and his arm was broken, Jane didn’t give up her true love to him and decided to get married. Finally they had a peaceful wedding under equality. From Jane’s beautiful love story, we can easily find her independent attitude to life; her self-respect to love. The effect of this novel is great, because Jane is a unfamiliar female figure in the world literature.1.3 The relationship between author and Jane EyreFrom the life experience of Charlotte Bronte and Jane Eyre, we can easily find thesimilarity between them. As we all known, Jane Eyre is a book according to its author’s experience. They both had the life to be a governess and a miserable childhood. Although the plot is unreal, the author got the most materials from her life, including the life environment and characters. Jane Eyre, an orphan child with a fiery spirit and a longing to love and be loved, a poor, plain, little governess who dares to love her master, a man superior to her in many ways, and even is brave enough to declare to the man her love for him, cuts a completely new woman image. We can regard her as an epitome of the middle-class working women who are struggling for recognition of their basic rights and equality as a human being. Obviously, Charlotte Bronte is the one of them. She demonstrated her intense feelings and thought from the main character Jane Eyre. The most important character of two women is independence and self-realization. “The reality of autobiography don’t demonstrate at every plots”. It should present at the thought of the writing. Both of them have the earnest hope to beautiful love and happy life. They also experienced the loneliness and desperation of love affair.Jane Eyre is an autobiography of Charlotte Bronte. Even the most professional scholars can not distinguish whether this book is an autobiography or a novel. Because most of them find it hard to separate Jane from Bronte. In some degree, Jane realized her value through her struggle and happy ending with Rochester. Bronte demonstrated her love to the Puritanical code and nature. The never dying popularity of Jane Eyre is the best gift to her undoubtedly. Not only Jane but also Bronte seek self-realization by themselves.1.4 The significance of the ResearchJane Eyre is a famous novel，so many people read it and love it. They analysis it from different angels. Although this love story is very moving, I mainly want to discuss this book from the spirits. It is noted for its sharp criticism of the existing society. Jane is a normal woman, but she also is a delegation of new female. The societal signification of Jane Eyre helps many middle class women to get rid of conventionalism and realize their value. This paper wants to make people know it clearly and breathe with Jane and its author during reading.Chapter 2 Jane Eyre’s character from Feminist theory Feminist theory is a thought about the equality which many women stick for a long time. No doubt Jane Eyre’s character is central of this novel. From the beginning, Jane possesses a sense of dignity and a trust in God. But the societal environment forces her to balance the dream and reality. As an orphan, Jane feels exiled and ostracized, and the cruel treatment she got in aunt’ family only brought her feeling of alienation. But Jane never gives up the desire to find freedom and autonomy in internal. In some degree, we can understand Jane’s behavior present the main spirits of feminist and this novel is a clarion of women's liberation.2.1 Jane Eyre’s self-respect and self-confidenceJane is a girl who early experiences the cruelty and miserable society. However, Jane still has various confidences to the life and inner power. Like most people, Jane also wants to get respect from other people around herself. But she knows it impossible. Maybe other girls bear the discrimination with no words and feel that they are real inferior to men. Jane is a unique female in that era. She is poor but aspiring, small in body but huge in soul. Although there are differences in economical status and in appearance, everyone is equal. During the love between Jane and Rochester, she never lost her dignity and self-respect. On the contrary, she thinks they should respect each other. Jane’s self-respect and self-confidence make her have a special charm which attracts Rochester. They fall in love under the condition of equality. When they prepared to marry, she knew the fact and refused to be mistress for him. She says to him.I care for myself. The more solitary, the more friendless, the moreunsustained I am, the more I will respect myself. I will keep the lawgiven by God; sanctioned by man. I will hold to the principles receivedby men when I was sane, and not mad-as I am now, laws and principlesare not for the times when there is no temptation: they are for suchmoments as this, when body and soul rise in mutiny against their rigor;stringent are they; inviolate they shall be. If at my individual convenienceI might break them, what would be their worth? Preconceived opinions,foregone determinations, are all I have at this hour to stand by: there Iplant my foot. [2] (241)Although Jane loves Rochester sincerely, she can not bear to be a doll. Finally she chooses a rational determination to persist her self-respect. In her opinions, independence is more important than beautiful love and rich life. We can see it from the ending of novel. When Rochester is disabled, she didn’t abandon him. Jane’s different behavior tells us that she is a strong woman, a short and small woman, having strong self-respect. She pursues a kind of bright, sincere and beautiful life unswerving. Jane ever claimed her earnest whoop:Do you think, because I’m poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soullessand heartless? You think wrong! I have as much soul as you, -andfull as much heart! And if god had gifted me with some beauty, and muchwealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now forme to leave you. I am not talking to you through the medium of custom,conversation, nor even of mortal flesh: -it is my spirit that addressed yourspirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God’sfeet-equal, -as we are!”[2] ( 191)This is Jane’s famous dialogue which clearly demonstrates her toughness and inner power. I deeply influenced by Jane’s attitude to life and got a thought. If women want to get a happy life and real love, she must get respect from lover and society. The first step for them is to be self-respect and self-confident. For a long time, only a person’s great virtue, noble soul, b eautiful heart can be called as an everlasting beauty, just as William Shakespeare said that beauty lived with kindness [5 ]2.2 Jane Eyre’s insistence and braveryJane Eyre is a love story about a normal woman. But Jane’s insistence and brave impress all the readers. The beautiful dream to love never disappears in her heart. In some degree, we can regard it as a story about seeking pure love. Trough this process, she also realized her own value and aim of life. Jane Eyre and Rochester get true love after a lot of sufferings. After acquaintance, then attracting each other, and falling in love deeply, they meet many obstacles. From Jane Eyre’s experiences, it was obvious that her relatives did not love her when she was a child. But it is just her childhood experiences that affect her character and later life. Although she is not beautiful and didn’t have a high societal status, she was brave to present her real thinking. And she didn’t think it ugly. Her insistence and brave make her different from other female. When her love was faced obstacles, especially meeting her love opponent Miss Blanche Ingram, she was brave and wit. Jane’s charm makes Rochester love her deeply and rely on her. Maybe someone will ask why Jane gives up wedding and leave if she really wants to get love. But we must clearly know that Jane pursuits the real love which is pure and equal. Jane Eyre loves him, not because his wealth and high rank, but because he treats her equally and in a friendly manner, although she is very poor and in low position.Jane’s brave and insistence also demonstrate in the attitude to the issues between her and Rochester. The age is the first problem; Rochester is much older than Jane. Other people may think she only pay attention to his property and high rank. But she only does as her way and knows what she really prefers. Anther problem is the environment. This pair of lovers would suffer disagreements from their families and their friends. Such as Mrs. Fairfax, one of Rochester’s servants is very surpris ed and feels puzzled that her master is madly clinging to Jane. But both of them don’t care about the difference of status and property or others’ opinion. They pursue true love. They overcome the obstacles which Rochester has a mad wife and Jane’s low societal status. Although she didn’t get married with Rochester, her leaving presents her brave and toughness. She leaves Rochester and loses income. The life is so real and cruelthat she must rely on herself. This behavior is a brave step for her to get self-realization.In Jane life she has two important men. One is Rochester, the other is St. John. She has different attitude to them. No doubt Rochester is her real lover.Although Jane Eyre leaves, she misses Rochester every day. Wherever she goes, she remembers him every moment. She often dreams of him and wants to spend all her life with him. When she leaves him, she suffers from cold and hungry until St. John appears. Obviously, he is Jane’s benefactor, but she has her principle on love. When he wants to marry her, she refuses. Jane says if she joins St. John, she will abandon half herself and if she goes to India. Jane Eyre insists that true love should be based on equality, mutual understanding and respect. Then she comes back to Thorn field Garden. In m ost people’s eyes, nobody would like to marry a man who loses his sight and most of his wealth. She gives up a comfortable life to choose a hard life because the real love. We can see the great power of real and pure love which comes from Jane’s insistence and bravery.2.3 Jane Eyre’s independenceThe independent spirit is Jane’s most important character. This novel can be interpreted as a symbol of the independent spirit. No matter what condition she meets, she never gives up the determination in pursuing her self-esteem and independence. She is not only struggling with social pressure, but also for the love.2.3.1 The reason of Jane’s attitude to independenceMaybe many people will be confused why Jane’s attitude to independence is so different from others. I think there are two main reasons. First is the life in uncle’s family. Jane Eyre has no parents or friends, no wealth or possession, misunderstood, mistreated by her aunt. The cruel treatment she receives from her Aunt Reed and her cousins only makes her feel lonely. She wants to have a feeling of family and belonging. But unluckily, she fails and must leave under her aunt’s force. The miserable experience in her childhood makes her heart strong. The dramatic presentation of Jane’s struggle at Gate head demonstrates that she should begin torealize it is not necessary to fear authority. Second is the life in school. After Jane went to Lo wood Orphanage, she didn’t get what she always expects. The headmaster treated her badly.Jane continues to be socially ostracized and trapped, and excluded from love; her sense of independence and her freedom of self-expression are constantly threatened. All this force Jane to gain independence. She meets an important people in her life. Helen is her best friend. They have some similarity in life, but Jane is braver than her. Jane learns anther character –endurance from her. No doubly, Helen’s death is a big shock for her. She regards life and the position of female again. At Lo w ood, Jane’s heart grows and her independence rises to a higher level. Not only Helen but also the teachers and the pressure from all around make her mature. In some degree, Lo wood is real school for Jane’s heart and crucial for her to shape her character in future.2.3.2 Jane’s struggle to societyJane knows that everyone should have their own value, no matter women or men. In that era, many people think one’s value must combine with the property and status. But Jane doesn’t agree with it. Although she knows her value didn’t be respected by audiences, she still struggle. Because she wants to prove herself at least. She studied very hard and became a teacher. Her knowledge is a tool to seek self-realization. Jane Eyre gets a chance to be a tutor in Thorn field Hall. This demonstrates that Jane has the ability to live which is the basic for everyone. She doesn’t want to be a common woman who is an appending for man. This can also clearly see, when Rochester said there is no need for her to work after marrying. Her refuse demonstrates that her strive to realize her great ideal of being independent. Jane is not beautiful, but she still has the right to receive the pure love. So when she is discriminated and their love can not be accepted by other, she still perseveres in claiming her thinking loudly. Rochester’s love is the best testimony for Jane’s value which can attract gentleman. When Mr. Rochester proposes to her, Jane accepts because Jane feels Mr. Rochester regards her at equal levels. If she marries with him, she still has her own right to seek self-realize. But just on the wedding day, Mr. Mason cries out that Rochester already has had a wife. Angering at Mr. Rochester’s deed, Jane speaks out these words angrily: “Do youthink I can stay to become nothing to you? Do you think I am automation, a machine without feeling, and can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips, and my drop of livin g water?” [2](191) The different behavior to marrying tells us what the most important thing for Jane. All her life experience is a process to realize her value. Her brave behavior still encourages women to go on the women liberation and has deep influence today.2.3.3 The growth of Jane’s heartJane is a great woman in her era, but we must acknowledge she is not perfect at the beginning. Although her miserable childhood is cruel for a little girl, Jane can make it become a fortune. Jane’s babyish heart became stronger through the life experience. Her growth presents in different aspects. Although Jane is brave when she is treated badly in her aun t’s family and school, she didn’t know how to save herself and the endurance at sometime. After she studied at school, she gets knowledge from books and becomes an intelligent woman who has a clear brain. This all makes her different from other woman who cares more about appearance. Undeniably, the love affair makes Jane mature. Her independence is no more in her heart, but clearly in her behavior. She is not a girl who can’t think things generally. When she bravely refuses the compromise to unequal marrying with Rochester and the loveless combine with St. John, we know she is growing from physiologically and mentally. Her growth of heart accomplishes with toughness and anguish, but she seeks self-realization and independence finally.“I see the necessity of departure, and it is like looking on the necessity of death.”[2](191) From it we can know Jane is brave and anguished. The necessity impulses her to depart, or she may suffer from the death of heart. If I were Jane, I would not regret about it. Life likes a chocolate box, you never know if it is sweet or not before you eat.2.3.4 The economical element in gaining the independenceJane is a representation for millions of English women. They are common in appearance, but bravely seek to be an independent people and present the pursuit to the feminist in the first period. However the society and economical statues make this pursuit harder for them. Even Jane feels regret when she quarrels with Mrs. Reed,because she must rely on her sometimes and don’t have power to maintain herself. She finds that she is always living in an ambivalent condition. She dissatisfies with her current condition, because she wants to get fair treatment in aunt’s family. At the same time, she is in scared mood, because she is afraid that her aunt would drive her away. Her economical conditions affect her behaviors in pursuing independence. Jane is an orphan, so she doesn’t have ability to live alone. This all result in her fall in seeking freedom. The economical element in reality makes Jane can not get freedom and independence before economical independence. Then she goes to school where she meets bad treatment. Her effect is wittier than before. Maybe we can think it a compromise to the reality. Even in Tore field Jane can’t do things as her own heart. This is not her error, the life pressure is too heavy to carry for her. Jane is a clever woman and knows if she wants to be independent, she must change her economical condition. So she still tries her best to be self-sufficiency. Jane enjoys economic independence and engages in worthwhile and useful work, and she finds work as a schoolmistress, and does some real good to her pupils. She has knowledge and wants to survive herself by it. Even when Rochester decides to marry with her and asks her to be a housewife, she refuses confirmedly. She chooses a life method which is a struggle to tradition. Obliviously, what she wants is real and equal, not as his worthy too. Once again Jane shows her courage in preserving her independence.Only after proving her self-sufficiency to herself can she marry Rochester and not be asymmetrically dependent upon him. Jane’s back to Rochester need courage which comes from the change of her economical condition. After she gets heritage from her uncle, she becomes more confident and bolder. Maybe Jane always wants to change the society, but she really demonstrates it after self-sufficiency, Jane’s big change tells us that life is ceaselessly changing, but living principles remain. Firmly persisting for the rights of being independent gives people enough confidence and courage.2.4 Jane’s pursuit of equality2.4.1 The equality between men and womenFor the public, the men are superior to women. Men are everything. They goes togood school; they can be officer; also have right to do everything. Women are only the affiliate of men and have no status. The reason why Jane Eyre gets highly apprises is due to it portrays an image out of ordinary. Jane Eyre is not reconciled to play the role that the society appointed. She maintains her respect by her hard working, wisdom, and the strong individualism instead of depending on men. She believes that human is equal at God’s feet. No doubt Jane is a steady woman, because she meets many different kinds of tempts from men such as Edward Rochester and St. John. Both of them love Jane, but it is imprison for her. They try to keep Jane in a submissive position, where she is unable to express her own thoughts and feelings. Even for Rochester she also maintains her principle. The reason why she struggles confirmedly is not her cruelty. Because she knows if she reconciles to him, she will not get the real and pure love completely. In her opinion, the equality between men and women is the basic for unions. Instant happiness is not her final dream; she is a woman who has far-sight.After experiencing a lot, Jane develops from an angry, rebellious, 10-year-old orphan into a sensitive, artistic, maternal, and independent young woman.2.4.2 The equality between poor and rich in societyJane not only presents the middle class women, but also the poor. The main reason for Jane’s miserable childhood and her character is her economical condition not her sex. The rich always have privilege and discrimination the poor. The author figures some live characters such as Ms. Blanche Ingram who is a beautiful socialite who despises Jane and hopes to marry Rochester for his money. The different economical condition results in the discrimination to them. Blanche Ingram is rich and has high rank. But J ane only is a common woman who doesn’t have attracting appearance and property. Luckily, Jane never dejects about life. At the end of story, Jane marries with Rochester, because she gets the equality and independence. We know that Jane still is a female; t he only difference is that she is no more a poor little governess. Jane’s changeable economical condition controls her behaviors and heart.In order to pursue the equality, Jane fights with the circumstance and her heart. She is one of the successful female figures in novel who attract many readers. Equality is not a word but a light for her way to the dream all the time.Chapter 3 The effect of Jane Eyre to societyJane Eyre is a successful woman who affects many women not only in her era, but also today. She is a representation of the new women figure. This novel is about the struggle of an individual consciousness towards self-realization, about some lonely and neglected young women with a fierce longing for love, understanding and a full, happy life. It gives female a spirit support to pursue the freedom and equality. It can exceed the limit of time and share its special shine forever. Especially for today, more and more people crazy about the money and rank. They often choose the rich instead of poor and prefer substance to spirit. Little people can give up everything to get self-independence. It needs a large number of courage for her. For Jane love is very simple; it means two sincere heart which get together. She can not bear any cheat and pollution in love.Jane Eyre is a love story, a biography, a revelatory book for female. It tells us many truths. The most important is about independence which the book mainly talks from three aspects: independent spirits, economical statue, love attitude. They are combined with each other so we can not regard them as individuals. If we want to get the final happiness, we should balance the relationship between them. Firstly we should have a stable career and income which support our basic life. It is a step to get away from men’s control without living on them. But it isn’t enough for female to get the real self, they often have desire to consummate their heart by getting pure love and respect. Today many young women may confuse with the future. They want to show the value, but not all of them choose the right way. Jane gives us the advice; never lose yourself no matter how serious the circumstance you meet.If you want get away from the noisy society, please read Jane Eyre peacefully. You can talk with her soul and she will tell you her experience.

Analysis the Character of Jane EyreIntroductionJane Eyre is the novel written by Charlotte Brontëaccording to her own experiences. And it is the most famous work of hers.

Jane Eyre shaped an image of a woman who didn

J ane Eyre shaped an image of a woman who didn't yield to mundane pressure, was independent and positive. In the novel, Jane Eyre’s love story with Rochester, vividly demonstrated that the fire-like enthusiasm and absolute sincerity heart, which represented revealing her concept of love. She boldly loved what she really loved. At the fictional end of the novel, it said that Jane Eyre received a heritage and returned to the lonely and helpless Rochester. It shows the author’s ideals—women’s independence and e quality in the economic, social and family and to the loyal love.Jane Eyre is a poor and humble, and handsome, was very tough, emotionally rich, independent self-esteem, courage persistent, intelligent, extraordinary girl, her own destiny, values, thought and effort to grasp the status of their own ideas and personality have a rational understanding of their own emotional well-being and have a firm belief in pursuit. Be a simple love him, we see the image of today's new woman: self-esteem, self-respect, self-reliance, self-improvement, for their own personality, emotions, life, judge, choose a firm and persistent pursuit of the ideal.The analysis of Elizabeth’s characterElizabeth is a person worthy of our imitation. She is a model because she is different from all the other characters, except Darcy, and because she does not adhere rigidly to the standards set forth by society, she is self-reliant and independent. Elizabeth rejects Mr. Collin's proposal because she does not think that marriage was boring, nor does she believe in marriage of convenience. When Mr. Collins says arrogantly to Elizabeth, she politely refused him. Unlike Charlotte Lucas, Elizabeth would never violate her principle and her integrity and throw away her talents by marrying Mr. Collins, a conceited, narrow-minded, and pompous fool. Elizabeth looks nature because she puts her trust in her own perceptions and impressions. On the other hand, she is not ready to rebel against society. She does not totally disregard social proprietary. She has good manners; her slight breach of decorum walking alone to Nether field Park is justified by her genuine concern for her sister who is ill. She has good manners. When Lady Catherine criticizes Elizabeth skill of playing piano, she can have good manners to keep polite.Tess, the heroine of Hardy’s Tess of d’Urbervilles, is a peasant girl. And when Hardy gives the novel a subtitle, “A Pure Woman Faithfully Presented”, we can see him defying the Victorian moral standard by calling Tess a pure woman. The character of Tess is extremely well drawn. A victim of the society, Tess is portrayed as a sweet-natured, kind-hearted, pure and rebel girl, and yet she is not free from the influence of social conventions and moral standards of the day. These characters make the image of Tess alive, moving and become an immortal artistic image.Tess always maintains the essence of herself as the daughter of a peasant; she loves life, loves nature and gives off the fragrance of the nature without decoration. Tess is the lineal representative of the ancient and knightly family of the d’Urbervilles.Tess’ kind-hearted character shows the love of life, hard-working and brave enough to face all difficulties with a selfless self-sacrifice. Tess is the eldest child in her family.Naturalism；an artistic movement in 19th century France; artists and writers strove for detailed realistic and factual descriptionstream of consciousness；a literary genre that reveals a character's thoughts and feeling as they develop by means of a long soliloquyrealism；the state of being actual or realromanticism：impractical romantic ideal s and attitudes。

Jane Eyre--a female image against social pressure withrebellion and independenceJane Eyre is a piece of autobiographical fiction. It is Charlotte. Bronte’s first novel published in 1849. The novel creates a female image who is against social pressure with rebellion and independence.Feminist criticism comes in many forms, and feminist critics have a variety of goals. Some have been interested in rediscovering the works of women writers overlooked by a masculine-dominated culture. Others have revisited books by male authors and reviewed them from a woman's point of view to understand how they both reflect and shape the attitudes that have held women back.1A number of contemporary feminists have turned to topics as various as women in postcolonial so-cieties, women's autobiographical writings, lesbians and literature, womanliness as masquerade, and the role of film and other popular media in the construction of the feminine gender.Among hundreds of writings in the world, Jane Eyre stands out and gives us a vivid impression.Sun Weimin, argued in her article that, the classic Jane Eyre tells the heroine of independent self-esteem, the pursuit of personal equality, love the story of single-minded dedication2. Her tireless pursuit of the tireless spirit of the character of equality is respected, her contempt for the wealth of the gas stunning proudly, her single-minded dedication and fearless love the concept of moving. However, Jane Eyre's inner existence of the inferiority complex of a taboo. Jane Eyre goes beyond the inferiority complex which highlights of her charisma.Charlotte Bronte is one of the representatives of female literature in 19th English Literature. Women in her novel all bear various oppressions from feudalistic concepts1Ross C Murfin . Feminist Readings: French Texts/American Contexts. Special issue, Tale French Studies 62 (1981). 4662Bronte, Charlotte. Jane Eyre[M]. Shanghai: Shanghai Foreign Language Education Press, 2003.to some extent. As a result, they all share a common feature-very strong self-consciousness. Through the analysis of the two heroines in Jane Eyre, we can see that women with different characters would have different endings in the process of pursuing happiness. Only those who are really independent in personality and thoughts can know how to struggle for happiness, and education is the key to this social issue.Huang Xingjun, showed his opinion in the article, that Jane Eyre is a female hero full of passion against unfairness all the way. Bronte, Charlotte showed her attitude towards life through Jane Eyre3, that women are equal to men, which people turned to ignore on purpose. It is the first time that people begin to care about women and their life in literature. As a result, hundreds of themes referred to female come into being. The topic draws people’s attention forever.Jane Eyre is written by famous talented English critical realist woman novelist Charlotte Bronte in 1846. Although having more than 152 years by now, it is popular with lots of people because of the heroine —Jane Eyre.As an English idiom goes, “Beauty is but skin-deep”4, like Wang Wenhui argued in the article. A person’s great virtue, a noble soul, a beautiful heart can be called as an everlasting beauty. T he thesis focuses on the analysis of Jane Eyre’s beauty, on the assumption that more people may act like “Jane” and possess inner beauty5. First, it introduces the author Charlotte Bronte and Jane Eyre’ path of life, as well as its historical background of this work. Second, it mainly analyses the characters in Jane Eyre through her life experience in terms of psychology, language, mentality, behavior and so on to reflect the theme. Third, it is about Jane’s love. It express Jane’ longing and pursuit for the most beautiful characteristic of human beings, which enlighten us greatly. Finally, it has a discussion about Jane’s personalities and concludes that Jane is a beautiful feminist.It is filled with love, passion and reason, and maintains its unique artistic charm6. 3Huang Xingjun, The endless love in Jane Eyre, Journal of Mudanjiang University,2009:44Gaskell Elizabeth.

New York: Bantam Books, 1987: 5-14.This thesis analyzes some major characters in the novel and takes a lot of examples to show the author’s meaning and reflect the theme. This kind of description makes the figure a real person with blood and flesh. It also reflects the author’s resistant spirit. The Heroine of Jane Eyre, a plain and little girl, lives under traditional pressure to pursue for independence and love loyalty. This thesis analyzes her personality. Under her adamancy and self-respect, she literally has got a fiery heart for her love. Furthermore, the thesis tells us the Heroine’s love standpoint that the love should rely on the independent economy and should be equal in their spirit for both the lovers.Griffin Keedy argued in the article Character Analysis of the Icon Jane Eyre that Jane Eyre is a new Woman7. This beloved character, Jane Eyre, represented a new woman of sorts for the Victorian Era. However, this is due to her narrative positioning and her words more than her actions as it is so often the plot undermines her narration and the overall progression defies the desires she inspired in her readers.Feminism has been a prominent and controversial topic in writings for the past two centuries, said Clarke, Michael M8. In Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre the main character, Jane Eyre, explores the depth at which women may act in society and finds her own boundaries in Victorian England. As well, along with the notions of feminism often follow the subjects of class distinctions and boundaries.There is an ample amount of evidence to suggest that the tone of Jane Eyre is in fact a very feminist one and may well be thought as relevant to the women of today who feel they have been discriminated against because of there gender. At the beginning of the 19th century, little opportunity existed for women, and thus many of them felt uncomfortable when attempting to enter many parts of society. The absence of advanced educational opportunities for women and their alienation from almost all fields of work gave them little option in life: either becomes a house wife or a governess. Although today a tutor may be considered a fairly high class and intellectual job, in the Victorian era a governess was little more than a servant who was paid to share her scarce amount of knowledge in limited fields to a child. With7Griffin Keedy. Character Analysis of the Icon Jane Eyre. Jane Eyre. Penguin Classics Publishing, 2010:108Clarke, Micael M. Bronte's Jane Eyre and the Grimms Cinderella. SEL: Studies in English Literature 2000little respect, security, or class one may certainly feel that an intelligent, passionate and opinionated young woman such as Jane Eyre should deserve and be capable of so much more. The insecurity of this position, being tossed around with complete disregard for her feelings or preferences, is only one of many grueling characteristics of this occupation. However for Jane to even emerge into society, becoming a governess seemed the only reasonable path for her.Zhong Baiyan said in her article that Feminism lays stresses on the sexual equality and affirms women's value9. The thesis mainly discusses the character of the heroine in Charlotte Bronte famous novel Jane Eyre. The article successfully creates Jane Eyre-a female image of a new tape of petty bourgeoisie, describing her struggle for independence and equal love. The thesis just analyzes Jane' s rebellious characteristics through three periods of her experience: 1.In her childhood, she has shown her rebellious spirit; 2. When she studies at Lowood, her rebellious spirit is exposed further; 3. As a tutor in Thornfield Hall, Jane falls in love with Rochester-her master.Jane Eyre was a very common-looking girl who had no charming appearance and no wealth. But as the little woman had said, “Do you think, because I am poor, obsecure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong!”Though God had not given her beauty and wealth, God gave her a kind mind instead. Living under the rude treatment of Mrs. Reed, she wanted to cast off; facing the mistreatment of teachers and the unpleasant living condition, Jane tried to resist the traditional teaching; falling in love with Mr. Rochester, she sought the equality of spirit10. Bronte created a heroine alienating from the Victorian ideal image of womanhood.
