《Jane Eyre》was written by novelist Charlotte Bronte and was one of the finest novels of the Victorian era. It has been a long time that western countries have been deeply influenced by Christianity, and there is a traditional idea in people's minds that women are a rib in a man, that is, women are subordinate to men. This notion is ingrained and dominates the entire Western society. But Jane Eyre loudly announced: "I am not an angel, I am my own!”. This announcement broke the traditional female sky.
In most people's eyes, Jane Eyre is a rebellious woman. For the sake of women's dignity and equality, she fought like a fearless warrior. However, when analyzing Jane Eyre's character from another angle, we can explore some contradictions. In fact, Jane Eyre also has her fragile side. Jane Eyre has an inferiority complex at the same time. She is not satisfied with her own appearance, dissatisfied with her own status and discontent with her own property.
Analyzing on Jane Eyre’s contradictory characteristics can broaden our horizons and we will have a new different understanding of Jane Eyre. At the same time, it also advises women who are fighting for gender equality: Even in a modern society where women's status has improved, there is still a long way to go to win true equality, because conservative customs are ingrained. Women should be braver and more persevering in resisting overwhelming and unreasonable customs.
Over the years, many scholars at home and abroad keep carrying out multi-perspective analysis on this work in particular to the protagonist. In China, Guo Yuemei said: "Jane Eyre this image has the characteristic of women's gentle obedience, but also has strong bravery, active and positive nature. Jane Eyre embodies the ideal of feminists to achieve equality between men and women, and she has played a role in encouraging women to rise up in the pursuit of equality, freedom, and independence, with a more positive attitude towards life and the realization of their own subjective status. Wang Wenhui. also reported it in her article. Abroad, Terry Eagleton pointed out in his monograph《The Myth of Rights》which is a study of the Bronte Sisters, that Charlotte's work has an inherent struggle between two vague and internally divided values, the heroine shows reason, calmness, self-struggle spirit, radical resistance, and rebellion. But on the other hand, the heroine is too pious, obedient, conservative. Any pair of them can be substituted or transferred to each other. In his "introduction" to the third edition of his novel, Joyce Oates pointed out: "Before the publication of Jane Eyre in 1847, there was no shortage of images of rebellious women in English literature, but it was unprecedented for women as humble, ordinary, lonely and vulnerable as Jane Eyre to be so consciously confronted with a strongly patriarchal society."
