The author Charlotte's attitude towards the real fate

杏花烟雨

①Burns As a devout churchwoman, she believed that pain was predestined -- that which was predestined to be endured, and that if she could not endure it, she was weak and foolish.

② St. John -- He was also a very devout Christian. He was a priest. St. John gave up the girl he loved for his religion, gave up his private feelings and life, and devoted himself to his religious career. In order to better complete his career, he even proposed to the person he did not love -- Jane Eyre in order to get help for his career. After Jane Eyre rejected his proposal of marriage, St. John embarked on a solo career in preaching, and also soon met the end of his life.

The fate arrangement of these two people reflects the author Charlotte's attitude towards the real fate -- fate is for fighting, not for submission and patience. It expresses the author's doubts about the Christian doctrine at that time -- in order to pursue personal belief, saints under the guise of salvation may be selfish, indifferent, heartless and authoritarian.

    The author should have a deep doubt about the Christian doctrine, and St. John's selfish pursuit of those he does not love makes people see the desensitization of Christians to their own private urgency.

    Charlotte's experiences at the school influenced her portrayal of Lowood School in Jane Eyre. After the death of the two oldest Brontë daughters, Patrick and Maria's sister Elizabeth gave the children a stimulating and wide-ranging education at home.

    The author was affected deeply of the era she lived in, which can be seen in her arrange for Jane Eyre. After she left Thornfield, she received a large amount of money from her uncle who had just passed away, in order to create a euqal on wealth between Jane and Rochester. Afterwards, readers at the period of time would accept the happy ending easily. Intrinsically, the author was trapped in the tradional idea of marriage and the limitation of femininity.
