Jane Eyre is a novel that can relate to anyone, though I feel as though it may be more relatable for independent people. I felt like one of the biggest things that Charlotte Bronte wanted to get across was that you can be self-sufficient and make a life for yourself. There are many people that may just need a little reminder of how they can be awesome on their own. Watching Jane make something out of her life was very encouraging as a reader, and I think anyone could relate. It seems as though the author really understands the troubles that some children, as well as adults, went, and still go through. It also seems like she herself could easily relate to many of the events in her story.
As the story grows, we watch the character of Jane grow. We learn exactly who she is supposed to be, and what Charlotte wants us to see in her. Being able to write a character as dominant as Jane takes a lot of observation of the human race, and it is obvious that Charlotte really understood human nature. We can tell this with how strongly and interestingly she wrote the character of Jane.
