Naturally, Bronte has quite the gift in regards to narration. It saddens me to hear that people find Victorian Literature either "dull" or "too explicit, " leaving nothing to imagine. Well, I disagree in both regards. Jane Eyre is filled with the sort of people who defame such works, and is a gateway for Women's Literature and overall morality. In her time, Bronte was considered "morally flawed, " because she contrasted dogmatic notions of priopriety and other residual beliefs instilled by religion. I say: kudos to Bronte for sticking it to the man, so to speak. She, and her narratives, will live on in my soul, and inspire and evoke, what truly lies within the human soul; in other words, skeptics, go back to your page-turner novels filled to the brim with whimsical melodrama.
Also, in my opinion, the character of Jane Eyre is an enjoyable rose to observe as she blossoms into a full-fledged human being, female or not. She is a looking glass into what it means to be a person, and what people face. Though her moral convictions seem, at times, to be quite masochistic and purtainish, she learns and discovers what is her truest of desires; and the simple philosophy: what is good for most is not good for all. which I believe Charolette Bronte, along with a fleet of female thinkers of her time, saw within themselves-despite the classical definition of their innate sex, and for her to see that and publish it, makes her all the stronger of a person.
