Abstract

The novel Jane Eyre is a monumental work penned by the esteemed British female author, Charlotte Bronte. The present analysis delves into Jane Eyre’s indomitable spirit of rebellion and the underlying factors that fuel her defiance, adopting a feminist lens. The protagonist, Jane Eyre, owing to her orphaned status, education-induced intellectual awakening, and religious skepticism, and moral autonomy, experiences a burgeoning, stirring, and eruptive feminist consciousness. Thus, throughout her life’s journey, she persistently combats various social injustices, strives for her economic self-sufficiency and marital independence.
