Jane’s experience is not so different from so many teenagers out there in the real world. Especially in the modern day, where people’s sense of beauty and confidence depends on the number of “likes” they get from friends. A dysfunctional family like Jane’s is a major reason why young people go out of their way to get love and validation, even from strangers. And the root cause of the problems in Jane’s family is the cost of the pursuit of the American Dream. To go after success in itself is not a bad thing, but compromising family, as in the case of Jane’s, has many obvious and

In Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre, Jane is an orphan who is often mistreated by the family and other people who surround her.

Why was I always suffering, always brow-beaten, always accused, forever condemned?" (27; ch. 2). Despite her early suffering, as the novel progresses Jane is cared for and surrounded by various women who act as a sort of "substitute mother" in the way they guide,
Unlike her father and sister Jeanette shows us that it is capable to reach your full potential regardless of what you have gone through. Even through the hardships of her childhood Jeanette is set on moving to New York with Lori and becoming a reporter. By putting her past aside she is able to achieve this and finally reaches her full potential. “I still went into the office in the city once a week, but this was where John and I lived and worked, our home—the first house I’d ever owned. Mom and Lori admired the wide planked floorboards, the big fireplaces, and the ceiling beams made from locust posts, with gouge marks from the ax that had felled them.” Unlike any of the houses she lived in as a child, her current home goes above and beyond. If you compare Jeannette to her sister Maureen it’s clear that becoming all that you can be depends solely on yourself.

Just because someone is wealthy, extremely smart, and always has a smile on their face, doesn’t mean that they don’t have issues and hopes and dreams just like everyone else. What’s on the outside could just be an umbrella to hide whats on the inside. In reality, Anita’s parents only care about her education, not what she wants to pursue, and they only think of her as an investment. Inside, she is falling apart, for she wants to sing, not go to Princeton. I feel a connection to this character, because she helps me to shine light on the many things in which I am constantly doing. I pressurize myself to get perfect grades, just like Anita’s parents. I would love to live up to my dream of becoming a prima ballerina in a prestigious company, yet I am scared that I won’t succeed and I will regret not going to a well-known university. Even though I am only 12, and Anita is 18, there is something about how the author brings her personality to life that connects the reader to her

What is the relationship between Jane and Mrs Reed ( how are they related) ?
In the outskirts of Visby, a couple speed through the streets of the small French city. Brigitta Lager was about to give birth to the second and third child of the family. Linnéa Signy was born on a warm, she was named after her mother’s favorite flower. Her sister was born three minutes later, Ivy Rose. From a young age, people commented on the girl’s brightness. Her parents noted the strong features in her and carefully watched as she grew and learned in her early months and years, unaware that their daughter had a special ability, which would be known when she turned nine. The bumbling young child grew up to two academic parents. Her father was a famous botanist and her mother — now a stay at home mother— had once taught English. The young light haired girl was intuitive; she always asked questions when she didn’t understand something. Her parents agreed that she could become anything she wanted. Although Linnéa didn’t agree. She didn’t want her parents to tell her she was going to have a bright future because she didn’t want expectations put above her head that she couldn’t live up to. She refused to believe she was capable of something greater. The girl was plain and boring, at least in her eyes. Her family was the most important thing in her life and no matter what happened to her, she refused to let her love and admiration for them die. Linnéa and her older sister Alva were not the closest of siblings — having separate talents in school— but they supported each other.
