Jane Eyre: Discussion Topic 4

The "hero" in this book is without question Jane Eyre. Jane is a small, frail girl who has had a rough life. She is tough and spunky and defiant, Jane refuses to give up on anything that she sets her mind to. Jane is a loving person with a soft heart, who is intelligent and talented. She sees herself as less than normal, almost plain, and everyone who knows her, they know she is plain on the outside, but not even close on the inside. I think that Jane does represent an abstract idea. I think that she represents the exact saying, "you can't judge a book by its color." That might not be an idea, but that is what I think she represents.

Jane accomplishes many things and is portrayed as the kind and loving, yet spunky girl she is. Jane accomplishes the great feat of Lowood Boarding School. They were rough and mean, yet she made the best out of it and got a great education for doing so. She learned to enjoy the simple things and life and appreciate everything she had, which I would say is an accomplishment. Also, Jane accomplishes the ups and downs of life. She was strong and knew what she had to do when she found out about Mr. Rochester's wife. She took everything in stride and is a prime example of what a person should be.
