Jane Eyre: women, class and religion in the 1840s

你需要知道的

• Charlotte Brontë published Jane Eyre in 1847 under the pen name Currer Bell, partly so a woman's novel would be taken seriously.
• Victorian class divisions matter: a governess like Jane sits uneasily between servants and gentry.
• Jane's life moves through Gateshead, Lowood, Thornfield, Moor House and finally Ferndean, where she marries Rochester.
• Fire, the hidden 'madwoman', dreams and moonlight recur as symbols of passion, secrets and change.
• 'Reader, I married him' gives Jane, not the man, the active role in the marriage.
