Subject

"Jane Eyre" successfully shaped a female image of an uneasy situation, unwilling to be humiliated, self respecting, self reliant, daring to resist, and daring to pursue, by depicting the bumpy life growth path of an orphan girl.

It reflects the sincere confessions, cries, and reproaches of an ordinary soul, the desire, pursuit, and aspirations of a lowercase person to become an uppercase person.

Through the depiction of the new woman Jane Eyre's proactive pursuit of happiness and rights, Charlotte Brontë expressed her desire and firm belief in women's quest for their own rights and happiness, while denouncing the oppression and exploitation of women by the patriarchal society.
