Charlotte 's mother died of cancer at an early age, which resulted in her unkind and irresponsible aunt to raise her as well as her siblings. She grew up with four sisters and one brother, meaning they all weren 't provided with equal opportunities

In Bronte’s Jane Eyre, the protagonist does not fulfill the role of the typical or the perfect woman. Jane is headstrong, intelligent, practical, and well spoken. These traits are far from those of the perfect woman; however, she acquires them as a form of expression or defense by interacting closely with many women throughout the novel.

In chapter nineteen of Jane Eyre, Jane encounters the strange gypsy women that has shown up at Thornfield for the night. After having an unusual conversation, Jane recognizes the gypsy to be Mr. Rochester and gets on to him for attempting to trick her. After getting over the initial surprise, she tells Rochester of Mr. Mason’s arrival.

From the first time Jane appears in the story as a child, she leaves a strong impression. That is, when she has a fight with her cousin and her aunt is going to punish her. The conversation between her and her aunt was as the following, “ ‘What shocking conduct, Miss Eyre, to strike a young gentleman, your benefactress’s son! Your young master.’ ‘Master! How is he my master? Am I a servant?’” (2). This shows the readers that she fights for her rights and refuses the ‘fate’ that is given to her.

Taking into consideration Foster's views on violence in literature and applying it to the violence we see in Jane Eyre, one thing makes itself known: it always meant something. The violence that takes place in Jane Eyre is carefully added to give the reader a deeper understanding of not only what is happening inside Jane's mind, but of dark times set to roll in.
