Jane Eyre Strength And Integrity Analysis

Perceived Weakness vs. True Strength and Integrity I’m sure at least one point in your life you have been put down because no one believes you can do it or bullied by someone who thinks you will never fight back or coerced into something you don’t want. Throughout Bronte’s Jane Eyre, Jane is put in all of these situations and time and time again she shows her true strength by keeping her integrity.

Bronte reveals to the other characters that Jane harbors considerable strength and true integrity.

When she refuses to allow herself to be coerced into a loveless marriage or put in a situation where she knows she cannot survive not even then does she waver or give in.
