Jane Eyre was in an orphaned environment and depended on others. She endured the different treatment comparing with the peers, such as the despite from the aunt、the contempt from sisters and the insult and beaten from brothers. But it may be the circumstance that give rise to her indomitable spirit and unlimited confidence which can be seen as the inherent strength of character.
As a tutor, Jane never felt her status was inferior to Rochester just as her saying “I have as much soul as you-and full as much heart! ”. She deserved others’ respect owing to the equality . Precisely because of her integrity 、nobility 、purity in her inner mind, Rochester was stunned and slowly fell in love with her. When Jane knew the truth that Rochester had a wife, she chose to leave without hesitation. She wanted to stick to the acceptable principles in the moment of consciousness instead of insanity.
Jane had lived up with the suffering of being deceived by the most trusted and intimated person. At the meanwhile, she still made a reasonable decision. Tempted by the glorious and rich life, she still upheld her dignity and departure, which embodies Jane’s spiritual charm. Nevertheless when Rochester had nothing enviable, Jane returned to him. She didn’t need to balance between dignity and love any more, and she got both at this time.
We are moved by Jane’s stubborn individuality and independent personality. She has been the classic symbol as independent women. There should be more Jane Eyre coming out in the modern life. Whether poor or rich, beautiful or plain, we should live with independent character and strong personality.
