Background of the Jane Eyre.

  Why do we say Jane Eyre is a classic masterpiece of English literature, a great work. One of the reason is that It successfully shaped the first female image in the history of English literature who took an independent and positive attitude towards love, life, society and religion and dared to fight for freedom and equality. When the author created Jane Eyre, Britain was already the world's largest industrial country, but the status of British women had not changed, and they were still in a subordinate and dependent position. Women's survival goal was to marry into a rich family, even if they could not be born into a rich family, they should try to obtain wealth and status through marriage, and the only choice for women's career was to be a good wife and mother. Women who work as writers are considered to be against their femininity and are fiercely attacked by men. The fact that Charlotte and her sisters used masculine pseudonyms in their works shows how difficult women writers were at that time. Jane Eyre was written under this passive background.
