Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte follows the life of a young girl, and is a classic coming of age story. It is set in the Victorian era, which creates our unique protagonist Jane Eyre. Her confrontative and passionate ways, along with her refusal to back down despite the misogynistic standards society has placed on women, is makes her stand out. She is strong and bold, and faces obstacle after obstacle placed in front of her. As a reader, we are able to watch her grow and truly discover what it means to live as a woman. Throughout the novel, Jane sticks to her morals, no matter what, proving to be an inspiring heroine. There is a lot of descriptive writing and what one may call “fluff” that fills up many pages, due to the nature of the novel. It can seem to drag on a bit, however the in-depth analyses Bronte provides the reader with may be seen as beneficial and key to the overall plot. Regardless, this is a classic that all should attempt.
