    In Jane Eyre, Charlotte Brontë uses tone to establish Jane's personality. The tone of the novel is very blunt and direct, much like Jane's character. Such an example is during a conversation with Mrs. Reed. Jane says, "I declare I do not love you: I dislike you the worst of anybody in the world." (48) Jane addresses her dislike towards Mrs.Reed outright, telling her very clearly and almost nonchalantly that she does not care for the Reeds and is happy to move away and attend Lowood.…

Women at this time were seen as mere objects that acted as conciliation prizes for the gain of power and their sole use was for reproduction. Maintaining the duty of tiding the home and looking after the children, no outlet for an education or a chance to make a voice for themselves. Men acted as the leading voice in society, making all substantial decisions for women. The hierarchy of genders was ever so present and was based on the physical differences between men and women.…

Instead of allowing individuality and expression, men tended to suppress the freedom and personalities of females. To this day still, the lack of female empowerment in a patriarchal society takes prevalence.…
