    The Gothic genre is known for many great works, but none is so qualified a representation as Charlotte Bronte’s publication of her 19th century Jane Eyre. Some would say Jane Eyre is an engaging love story in which love conquers all; on the other hand, some have derived an allegory for some unseen erotic power struggle embodied between men and women in the 1800s. However, deep down, Jane Eyre is truly the depiction of transition from harsh morality to beautiful satisfaction—a “story of a woman’s…

It seems there were more things in common with these books than just the sisters who wrote them. The characters and themes are shared between the two classics.

    First of all, Bronte depicts Antoinette as a character who loses her sanity and becomes a violent ‘beast’. In Jane Eyre, the first impression of Bertha emerges when Jane hears a “demoniac laugh – low, suppressed and deep” and some moaning from Bertha (Brontë 164).

Jane also hears “a snarling and snatching sound, almost like a dog…

    divinity people worshipped. For instance, one theory suggests that there was a main female figure, known as the Mother Goddess or Great Goddess, whose influence is still felt today in many works of literature and art. In fact, within Jane Eyre, Charlotte Bronte futuristically utilizes the characters of Diana and Mary Rivers as representations of this Great Goddess in order to provide Jane with maternal figures that enforce her decision to not sacrifice herself for the sake of others.
