What is the theme of Jane Eyre?

This novel is a realistic novel with strong romanticism. Jane Eyre is a well-known work, an autobiographical novel. Jane Eyre's pursuit of life has two basic melodies: passion, fantasy, resistance and persistence; Longing for freedom and happiness in the world and pursuing a higher spiritual realm.

The theme of this novel is to successfully create a female image who is uneasy about the status quo, unwilling to be humiliated and dare to fight through the rough life experience of an orphan girl, reflecting the call sign and censure of an ordinary soul and the desire of a lowercase person to become a capitalized person.

Jane Eyre has the following characteristics in content structure:

1. The structure of Jane Eyre is the artistic framework of The Divine Comedy. Jane Eyre experienced the scorching in hell (Gateshead and Loward), the purification in purgatory (Thornfield and swamp), and finally reached the ideal state in heaven (combining with Rochester and giving birth to the next generation symbolizing rebirth).

Secondly, the author uses the atmosphere of rendering, nightmares, hallucinations and premonitions to create the atmosphere of hell and build an allegorical environment. In Gateshead, Jane Eyre felt the "gloomy commemorative atmosphere" from her life, and saw the "ghost" that appeared and disappeared from time to time, while the "red house" that suppressed terror and made people feel creepy almost became the embodiment of hell.

In lowood, "death has become a frequent visitor here", "gloom and terror are shrouded in the wall", and it exudes "the stench of death" For Jane Eyre, there is no doubt that she just jumped out of the fire pit and was thrown into a more terrible hell. In Thornfield, crazy women appear frequently like ghosts, and storms keep hitting mulberry houses.

Thirdly, in order to endow an ordinary love novel with classic meaning and mythical connotation, the author repeatedly quotes the Bible, myths, epics, classic works, historical allusions and Shakespeare's works.

Fourthly, a major feature of this novel is its passion and poetry. Rochester, the hero of the novel, and Jane Eyre, the heroine, both express their feelings in poetic language.
