　　an analysis of jane eyre

　　the novel is rich in poetry, symbolism and metaphor. it does not fit easily into a definite pattern, being neither a novel of “manners” in the tradition of austen, or a straightforan. the indecision ance” antic fairytale are present.

　　the romantic element is present in two forms in jane eyre; the “family” aspect is dealt with in the gateshead, lowood and moor house episodes, which involve the exchanging of the wicked reed family for the benevolent rivers one; and the love romance is dealt with in the thornfield and ferndean episodes. both aspects are, of course linked and interwoven throughout the novel.

　　there is also a strong element of realism in the novel, edy

　　the more fantastic romantic aspects; the coincidences; the secrets; the supernatural occurrences, are balanced by the realism, and this is of course a major strength.

　　the gothic influence cannot be ignored, although cb has refined the technique considerably from the “authentic” gothic of the 1790's. in the original genre, the heroine for middle class an's value largely depended therefore on her sexual purity and she en it.

　　the trials an frees. in this way we see that cb created rather a daring departure from conventional fiction, although there are still many aspects of the novel which remain true to victorian convention.!
