ABSTRACT

Charlotte Bronte is one of the greatest realist female writer in the history of 19th century English literature, as well as Jane Eyre is her famous representative work. Through the perspective of feminism, the article analyzes in depth the characters of Jane Eyre, Rochester, and other female characters, such as Helen Burns and Bertha Mason. The paper also vividly demonstrates the profound influence of feminism on the roles of males and females in the Victorian Era. Jane Eyre explores the ideas of British women's consciousness of equality, independence and their courageous pursuit of love.
