A Groundbreaking Novel The heroine is small, plain, & poor The heroine is the first female character to claim the right to feel strongly about her emotions and ?act on her convictions This romantic ground had previously been reserved for males Such a psychologically complex heroine had never been created before

Many Books in One

Bildungsroman Bil·dungs·ro·man Noun A novel that considers the development (psychological/spiritual) of a person from childhood to maturity, to the point at which the protagonist recognizes his/her place and role in the world From The Bedford Glossary of Critical and Literary Terms, 2nd Ed.

Thematic Concepts The various natures of love Female independence in a world where women are made to be dependent on men Forgiveness The effect of money on happiness The effect of religious belief on social conduct

Focus on Setting Jane Eyre makes particularly powerful and complex uses of setting, which it intertwines with plot, characterization, and, of course, symbolism and imagery. The setting of the story is carefully divided into five distinct locales, each of which has its particular significance in Jane's history and each of which is like an act in a five-act drama. (R.B. Martin) Each of these settings has its own characteristic tone Setting also relates to characterization as well, since many of the novel's principal figures exist intimately related to the homes and landscapes in which we come upon them.
