Love and marriage from a woman’s point of view in Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre

One of the most important features of the Victorian era was women’s movement. Women in the Victorian era did not have any rights. Their duty was to take care of the house, give birth to children, cooking and cleaning. Charlotte Bronte depicted the condition of Victorian women in her novel Jane Eyre. She tried to depict love and marriage from a woman’s point of view. Jane Eyre is an orphan girl. She had to go through a lot of troubles in her childhood. She fell in love with a rich man named Rochester. When she heard about Rochester’s marriage, she left his house. Eventually, she became self-dependent and had the opportunity to marry a man better than Rochester in every aspect. Yet, she returned to Rochester and took his care in his bad time.
