Charlotte Brontё’s Jane Eyre is an innovative depiction of female rebellion. Jane did not have to sacrifice her beliefs to survive in this demanding society. Brontё shows Jane to be rebellious through her defiance of Victorian ideals. She rebels against social ideas by showing unusual time period behavior; she is not submissive and is an insurgent to the restrictions of the time period. Jane rebelled in the Victorian era in multiple ways by refusing to bow to Rochester’s wants and needs. As her employer, Rochester had power over her, but she was able to rise above him and rebel.
