The writing background of Jane Eyre.

When the author wrote Jane Eyre, Britain was already the largest industrial country in the world, but the status of British women has not changed, and they are still in a subordinate and dependent position. Women's survival goal is to marry into a rich family, even if they can't be born into a rich family, they should strive to gain wealth and status through marriage. The only choice for women's career is to be a good wife and mother.

As a writer, women will be regarded as violating their due femininity and will be violently attacked by men. From the beginning of Charlotte sisters' works using masculine pseudonyms, we can imagine the dilemma faced by female writers at that time. Jane Eyre was written under this passive background.

Jane Eyre is an orphan girl who was adopted by her uncle's family since she was a child. Her aunt hates her very much. After her uncle died, she was sent to a tutor school as a minor, leaving her to take care of herself.

A few years later, at the age of 18, she left the purgatory school and went to a manor to be a tutor. I fell in love with the owner of the manor, Mr. Rochester. Just as they were about to get married, they learned that the man actually had a wife, or was a madman, and was locked up in the castle where she lived every day. So she left sadly and was saved by a brother and sister.

She became a teacher in a humble temporary school in obscurity, but the eldest of the three brothers and sisters discovered her secret. It turned out that they were cousins and got a large inheritance from a dead relative.

Jane Eyre, who found her family and wealth, misses Mr. Rochester in her heart and quietly returns to the manor, only to find that Mr. Rochester is injured and blind, and the castle is in ruins under the action of his crazy wife setting fire to the house. So Jane Eyre returned to the single and unrestrained Mr. Rochester, and they began a happy life.
