Jane Eyre! Hero, (Question 4)

To me, it seems obvious that the hero in Jane Eyre is in fact, Jane Eyre herself. She is intelligent, humble, independent and deserving. She leads a life in a kinder way than many people could even imagine doing so. Throughout the novel, she manages to go from absolutely nothing, to marrying the man she loves with all of her heart, and creating a great life for her. She seems at first simply like a poor orphaned girl. She is confused, hurt and lost, as I can only imagine I would be in that situation. Though she feels all of these things, that does not stop her from pursuing her life forward. She does many heroic things throughout the novel that inly a strong independent woman could do. One of these includes walking away from the love of her life, but finding the will to come back. She is continually moving forward in her life and seems to be a very respectable lady. I definitely found her to be the strongest character in many ways.
