Chapter.II. Charlotte Bronte and her novel “Jane Eyre”.
2.1. Jane Eyre and other novels of Charlotte Brontë.
The Professor, Charlotte's first book, which was released after her death in 1857, depicts her somber response to the pleasures of her adolescence. It is based on Charlotte's experiences there and is told in the first person by an English tutor in Brussels, with the sexes and positions reversed. Although there is plenty of satire and dry, direct language in Jane Eyre, its success was the fiery conviction with which it presented a thinking, feeling woman who craved love but was capable of renunciating it at the call of impassioned self-respect and moral conviction. The necessity of her genius, reinforced by reading her sister Emily's Wuthering Heights, modified this restrictive self-discipline. Jane Eyre, the primary character and narrator of the book, is an orphan who works as a governess for Mr. Rochester, her Byronic and mysterious employer, and who she falls in love with. Her love is returned, but on the morning of the wedding, it is revealed that Rochester is already wed and lives in the mansion's attics with his insane and vicious wife. Jane separates from him, endures hardship, and eventually finds employment as a local schoolteacher.⁸ However, Jane seeks out Rochester and marries him after learning that Rochester had been maimed and blinded while attempting in vain to save his wife from the burning house that she had set afire. Although the novel has theatrical naivetés and Charlotte's lofty rhetorical passages do not particularly appeal to modern taste, she manages to keep the reader's attention. Though written in the first person, the book's purported autobiography is not Charlotte's—aside from Jane Eyre's recollections of Lowood. The Cinderella motif may have originated from Samuel Richardson's work Pamela, and personal experience is blended with ideas from a variety of dissimilar sources. The motivation for the action is deliberate, and seemingly episodic sections—like Jane's return to Gateshead Hall—are considered as essential to the development of her character and the tripartite moral subject of love, independence, and forgiveness. In Shirley, her book. Charlotte broadened her horizons and shied away from drama and coincidences. Shirley is the first regional novel in English, surpassing Maria Edgeworth and Sir Walter Scott as national novelists. It is filled with cleverly portrayed local material, including characters from Yorkshire, churches and chapels, the cloth workers and machine breakers of her father's early manhood, and a strong but somewhat jaded feminism. In Shirley, the first-person narration and the Brussels setting were dropped, but Charlotte returned to them in Villette; the situations and characters are primarily variations of the residents and way of life at the Pension Héger. She contrasted the woman joyfully content in love with the ardent heart, devoid of its purpose, against that background. Compared to Wuthering Heights, Charlotte's novels had a considerably more immediate impact. The style of almost all female novelists for a century had been Charlotte's blend of romanticism and satirical realism. Her successful ideas included the telling of a story from the perspective of a little girl or child, her lyricism, and the portrayal of love from a woman's perspective.
