Jane Eyre Post-structural Analysis

Throughout the novel, Jane has been a very strong character in that her feelings and emotions directly relate to who she is as a person. Her attitude towards others and how she feels in certain situations is related to the reader very clearly, making her story that much more compelling. Jane’s trials and tribulations are expressed passionately by the author, and her relationships with others are very dynamic. With many of the people Jane meets, she is unable to connect with because they immediately reject her. However, there are a few people that accept Jane for who she is and provide her with true friendship, something that Jane was lacking in her life. Even though Jane believes that she is comfortable with being alone, everyone needs others to rely on and care for. And in the end, I think the premise of Jane’s story is that she is searching for true acceptance once and for all.
