Abstract
Bronte uses the novel as a vehicle in which
she explores the conventions of the Victorian period and
their effects on one real woman, Jane Eyre. And in this
paper, I, too, shall explore these conventions and how they
contribute to the issues and themes the novel deals with.
But perhaps more importantly, using Jane Eyre as a guide I
will examine how Bronte both recreates some Victorian myths
of womanhood, as well as how she remains torn and fails to
resolve other constructs of womanhood.
