Seeing to the fact that I am a procrastinator, Jane Eyre is very fresh in my mind. Jane Eyre was published in 1847, but back then, books that were written by women did not get the same publicity and interest that men’s books did, so it was written under a pen name. Bronte must have been a very intelligent and strong-willed woman, as well as independent to make the character of Jane. One of the most important characteristics of Jane is that she does what she believe is right, not what others tell her to do or are doing (Bronte 372). This value may have come from Charlotte Bronte, herself. Charlotte obviously has a very strong attitude regarding women when writing this book. She writes Jane as a very strong and independent character. I’m guessing that those were characteristics that she believed that most women should have all shared. This novel was written in a first person perspective, meaning that Jane was telling the story. You know that the novel took place sometime in the past because of how Jane is telling the story as well as how it is written, but you don’t know when exactly when until you reach the very end of the book. The book is written in a perspective of ten years later.
