ABSTRACT

Jane Eyre is a masterpiece of Charlotte Bronte and is also an autobiographical novel. In the novel, as an orphan, living in unfavorable situations, Jane Eyre has gone through various challenges and frustrations in her road to fight for her freedom, equality, independence and self-realization, which deeply impresses and inspires people in different times in the world. However, this thesis studies Jane Eyre's feeling of inferiority in Lowood from the perspective of Alfred Adler's individual psychology, trying to explore the invisible side of Jane Eyre. In Lowood, a charity school, Jane Eyre meets many people who have different influence on Jane Eyre and make Jane Eyre experience some different religious life. These experiences are the recurrence of Jane Eyre's memories at Gateshead, which deepens her feeling of inferiority.
