MAIN PART

1. 
   Gender inequality as a part of social rejection in the 19^th century
   

Jane Eyre is not a simple depiction of 19th century Britain because its protagonist is a woman and deals with serious social problems in 19th century British society. The condition of women in Victorian England was one of inequality and oppression. Women were not given equal rights and had to marry and surrender much of their identity to their husbands.
This was especially true of lower class women who were looked down upon by society and expected to serve those who were wealthier. Jane Eyre, written by the female writer Charlotte Brontë, originally written under a male pseudonym, showed the circumstances of a lower-class woman of the time trying to fulfill her ambitions, dreams and desires. Jane's character portrayed the problems faced by lower-class women of that time, primarily their lack of independence from men and lack of respect from society, and was ultimately able to overcome enormous social and cultural barriers. gave an example of one woman.
Women in 19th-century England were generally portrayed in literature as promoting social and political inequality based on gender. During the 19th century, the strict division of social roles between men and women was enforced by many stereotypes, policies, and religious beliefs. Women were oppressed and mistreated. They were not allowed to exercise their rights and they followed their own people.
These points are highlighted by Jean Wyatt, who shows the issues and areas where women were subjected to violence and mistreatment at the time. It highlights the role of 19th century women in the development of the British economy. In the 19th century, women did not have the same rights and status as men. 19th century women did not have the right to vote or hold political office. The nation is divided into many groups, classes and other social factors; differences based on caste, creed, race and ethnicity have been a leading factor in many conflicts in society.
Women do not have the right to express their thoughts and ideas in public and are bound to the principles and values ​​set by their ancestors. In the 19th century, women were not allowed to work separately without the permission of their husbands and fathers. They were completely dependent on their husbands.
Charlotte Bronte faces many of the same challenges as Jane. She is a woman living in that society at that time. Since she is not able to succeed at the beginning of her life, she lives vicariously through the fictional Jane, making her into an example of a successful female character in society. The success of Jane Eyre has a strict connection with the failure of Charlotte Bronte in her personal life. According to Lucile Dooley, Jane Eyre is autobiographical in feeling if not life event, with strong relationship between character and author. In her article, Dooley researches the connection between Jane and Charlotte, applying the theory of psychoanalysis developed by Freud. According to Dooley, Charlotte does not use facts from her life so the novel cannot be called autobiography. However, Charlotte uses something much deeper than facts to refer to her own life: her physical and psychological state, her emotions and dreams. In such a way, Charlotte Bronte tried to live her life in another way, to imagine a second, better life through fiction. Bronte wants to tell people at that time that women can succeed despite everything that they may face. Thus, Bronte created this successful character to deliver this message to her people. Much of this message relates to the social inequality so prevalent in British society at that time. Because of her early struggle, Jane is capable of recognizing social inequality, realizing that she and her relatives were poor. According to the narrator, “I reflected. Poverty looks grim to grown people; still more to children: they have not much idea of industrious, working, respectable poverty; they think of the word only as connected with ragged clothes, scanty food, fireless grates, rude manners, and debasing vices: poverty for me was synonymous with degradation”
Poverty is one of the main motivations for Jane to leave her original situation and improve her situation through personal development and education. According to Berg, as a young girl, Jane has a thirst for knowledge; And Mr. Rochester is an educated, wise and experienced person. In addition, he is very rich and influential. Many women want to marry him; people of his social status expect Mr. Rochester to choose a beautiful and charming woman from his circle like Miss Ingram. However, Mr. Rochester falls in love with Jane because she appears to be a unique woman who, although not financially rich, is rich in intelligence and innocence, as well as modesty and loyalty to her beliefs. It is the strength of Jane's mind, character and morals that allow her to succeed in life and in love. In order to marry Mr. Rochester, Jane Eyre must first pass a three-part life test: first, she must prove to society that she does not want to love Mr. Rochester for his wealth and social status. ; secondly, she must prove to Mr. Rochester that she truly loves and values ​​him; thirdly, he must prove to himself that this is the right choice and does not contradict his moral principles. Fortunately, Jane successfully passes this life test and succeeds in her marriage and life. In the end, thanks to her determination and independent spirit, Jane is able to escape the difficult situation to find inner satisfaction and love. In conclusion, Charlotte Brontë makes a great contribution to the emancipation of women by writing Jane Eyre. Although this work was written a hundred years before the beginning of the Western feminist movement, it can still be considered an important feminist work of art, a text that provides an example of female independence, vitality, strength of character and rebellion. In many ways, 19th century England was an oppressive society for women, especially poor women. Brontë succeeds in portraying Jane's spirit and morals, as well as her intelligence and behavior, showing an example of a woman who can succeed despite many obstacles to herself and her community. Jane succeeds through a combination of inner strength, defiance of society's norms, and the pursuit of beauty, goodness, and love. It is a fiction that its author must create in order to tolerate an oppressive society. It has no doubt served the same purpose for countless readers over the years.
