  1. Jane Eyre--- Charlotte Bronte Essential Question --------How is truth revealed behind a character’s struggles or problems in the novel?

  2. Themes are the fundamental and often universal ideas explored in a literary work. • Jane Eyre is a very much the story of a quest to be loved. Jane searches not just for romantic love, but also for a sense of being valued, of belonging • Throughout the novel, Jane struggles to find the balance between moral duty and earthly pressure, between obligation to her spirit and attention to her body.

  3. Jane Eyre is critical of Victorian England’s strict social hierarchy. Bronte’s exploration of the complicated social position of governess is perhaps the novel’s most important treatment of the theme of social class. • Jane struggles continually to achieve equality and to overcome oppression. In addition to class hierarchy, she must fight against those who believe women to be inferior to men and try to treat them as such.

  4. Motifs are recurring structures, contrasts, and literary devices that can help to develop and inform the teat’s major themes. • Fire and ice appear throughout Jane Eyre. The former represents Jane’s passions, anger, and spirit, while the latter symbolizes the oppressive forces trying to extinguish Jane’s vitality.

  5. Symbols are objects, characters, figures, and colors used to represent abstract ideas or concepts. • The red- room can be viewed as a symbol of what Jane must overcome in her struggles to find freedom, happiness, and a sense of belonging. • The red -room importance as a symbol continues throughout the novel.
