Since published in 1847, Charlotte Brotes novel, "Jane Eyre" has become an immensely influencial novel. ... With this shift in influences has come the development of various readings. ... It is this dramatic variation between readings, combined with contextual influences which plays a major role on the way an individual interprets Brontes work. ... From the femanist approach, the idea of Marxist and ones limitations due to race and class, to the idea of growth of personal identity, Bronte’s novel “Jane Eyre” has been interpreted in a wide variety of ways.
It can be argued by many, especially contemporary audiencs, that Jane is seen as the protagonist who encounters and suffers the retraints of partriarchal society. From her oppression at Gateshead, her personal starvation at Lowood, the madness at Thornfield and the coldness suffered at Marsh End, Jane has endured continual imprisionment, both litterally and figuratively. Some may argue that Jane’s treatment was deserved and righteous. Jane was a female orphan with no inheritance. ... This is reinforced by Jane’s statement “I could not see how poor people had the means of being kind. ... ” In stark contrast, a contemporary responder may view the treatment of Jane as a child in Gateshead, right through to the tight conformities that Jane faced as a governess, to be almost barbaric and incomprehensible.
