作者:佚名; 更新时间:2017-09-30

  One day, Thorn field Hall gives a party, coming of many fine people. At here, the ladies of the fashionable society look down upon Jane, but Jane never despises herself and never feels herself inferior. She thinks they are equal in spirit. Frankly, she finds that some of them are poor in inner personality though having florid outside. She is satisfied with and even proud of her honesty and independent work. Thus, Rochester is attracted by her quality of mind, courage, independence and strong personality, and falls in love with her. When Jane finds herself falls in love with Rochester deeply, she pursuits her true love with passion, because she insists on that they are equal in mind. A poor governess who is looked upon down by others dares to love a gentleman of upper-class society which are wild wishes. Jane has so great courage to challenge it, once Rochester wants to know that if Jane loved him, so he pretends to say that he will marry a rich and beautiful woman. At the same time, Rochester requires Jane to stay for him. Jane cannot help chastising Rochester “Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? 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 you to leave me……; ---it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the gave, and we stood at God’s feet, equal,--as we are!” this is the idea of equality in Jane Eyre’s mind. Yes, God has not given her beauty and wealth but instead, God gave her a kind mind and wit mind. Her idea of equality and self-respect impress us so much and let us feel the great courage in her little body. When Jane hears that Rochester has a married man, and his wife is still alive. Jane although extremely sorrow but simply leave him for equality.

  At Moor House, Jane becomes a schoolteacher. All of the students come from poverty family and only two or three of them can read. Several of them are unmannered, rough and intractable, but Jane thinks that:” I must not forget that these coarsely- clad little peasants are of flesh and blood as good as refinement, intelligence, kind feeling, are as likely to exist in their hearts as in those of the beast –born.” Jane returns to Rochester second time. Rochester has been blind and lost his one hands and manor house unfortunately. His mad wife is dead. Jane has a large fortune and finally marries Rochester and lives a happy life. Jane is woman who constantly pursuits equality and dignity.

  C. Rebellion Against Injustice and Oppression.

  Jane is a person, who desperately struggles to attain her identity in the mist of temptation, isolation, and impossible odds. Although she possesses a strong soul, she must fight against others wills constantly impose on her. She is a character full of resistance, the resistance between rebellion and convention, and that of self-respect and self-contempt. She is a character of complexity, which lies in her being neither holy good nor hellish evil. In essence, her character is a direct assault on Victorian morality, which is a challenge to the traditional role of women, religion, and mortality in the Victorian society. The child less than ten years old cries for liberation from the injustice and despotic custody of her only aunt. In one day, the pampered and atrocious John Reed is unprovoked to strike Jane. However, there is limit to Jane’s tolerance so she starts to fight back. Little Jane denounces him “wicked and cruel boy! You are like a murderer—you are like a slave—driver—you are like the Roman emperors.” Then Jane is doomed to be locked in the Reed room by her aunt Mrs. Reed, which is a square chamber, very seldom sleep in it. It is the largest one in the mansion but is chilly. All of its arrangements like a pale throne. What’s more, her uncle is dead in just the room. In Jane’s inner heart, a kind of bitter vigor still braces her likely mood of the revolted slave. Jane loses control of her feelings and cries, “unjust! unjust!”(Chapter2). When Jane believes that she see the ghost, she shocks the lock and cries desperately until she is faint. Latter, the bad-hearted Mrs. Reed would like to send Jane to the charity school, and says to Mr. Brocklehurst that Jane has not quite the character and has worst fault deceit, at this moment, Jane does not fear of the rich and arbitrary woman. When she is planning to leave for school, she says to her “I will never come to see you when I am grown up; and if anyone asks me what I think of you, and what you have done to me, I will say the very thought of you makes me sick, and you treats me cruelly.”

  In Lowood School, Mr. Brocklehurst, the headmaster of the school, embodies an evangelical form of religion that seeks to strip others of their excessive pride or of their ability to take pleasure in worldly things. The representative Mr.Brocklehurst and other teachers in the school is hypocritical Christian. They possess charity but uses religion as a justification for punish the orphans. For example, Helen, who represents a model of Christianity that stresses tolerance and acceptance, she ascetically trusts her own faith and turns the other cheek to Lowood’s harsh policies. Although Helen has certain strength and intellectual maturity, her character involve self-negation rather than self-assertion and Helen’s submissive and ascetic nature highlight Jane’s strong-mindedness. Like Jane, Helen is an orphan who longs for a home, but Helen believes that she will find his home in Heaven rather than Northern England. In addition, while Helen is not oblivious to the justices the girls suffer at Lowood, she believes that justice will be found in God’s ultimate judgment. By contrast, Jane is so rebellious for the hypocritical religion and injustices, when Jane sees that a woman teacher strike a dozen blows on Helen Burns, she thinks if she were in her place and if she struck her. She would take the stick from the teacher’s hand and break it under her nose. Once, Jane encounters Miss. Scatcherd one of the teachers reprimands Helen sharply and pins half dozen of untidily folded articles pin on her shoulder. Helen says to Jane that it scare indeed in shameful disorder. The next day, the teacher writes “Slattern” on a piece of pasteboard and put it on Helen’s forehead until evening. Helen gets it patiently, without complaint. However, Jane resents the spectacle of Helen’s resignation; there is intolerable pain in Jane’s heart. Jane on the other hand, is unable to have such blind faith. Her quest is for love and happiness in the world, as well as fighting against the harsh environment, the unfair life and the conventional concept, which explore a new way for the people in a strictly hierarchal society. It is Jane’s humanism under the faith of religion.

  Jane is poor and plain, but she has great courage to challenge the tradition and to fall in love with Rochester forming a relationship between a lowly governess and a wealthy hobbled man. In addition, when Jane knows that Rochester gets married and his wife is alive, although his wife is mad for many years, no matter how, Jane does not succumb to be a mistress of him in no case. Because of Jane’s rebellion, she does not agree to St’ John River’s determination, although St’s John is to do good deeds and he is kind-hearted, savior and integrity, also handsome, but Jane still refuses to be wife of him with loveless.
