Jane Eyre Controversy

The novel, Jane Eyre, by written by Charlotte Bronte is the story about a brave woman who overcomes her hard situation and get her better social class by herself, although most English women could not do that in Victorian Age. Because, in that time, women could not be accepted as a good writer appropriately, the theme of Jane Eyre that was written by a woman writer was also criticized inappropriately by many critics. Although Emma is an old-fashioned and classical novel, the expression of the novel is great and the theme can be applied to every period.
