Jane Eyre, A critique of Bourgeois society.

            Charlottes Bronte's Jane Eyre is a classic tale of romance.
             the nineteenth century, the novel tells the story of one woman's life, her struggles and her .
             triumphs. The narrative comes to its close when Jane reaches her ultimate goal of .
             marrying the man she loves. For many years readers have enjoyed this descriptive .
             narrative of another time and place, and they have cheered for Jane when she gets the .
             love that she deserves. But, that is not all that this novel can give to the reader. As well as .
             being an interesting romance story, Jane Eyre can also be seen as a critique of a society .
             with very set class systems and ideals. Charlotte Bronte bases her book on the society .
             around her, as it was what she understood best. Thus, the world of Jane Eyre is not some .

             writing, and elements of that society are still clearly visible to this day in our own society. .
             Jane Eyre concentrates on the Bourgeois class. It can be argued that in the period which .
             Jane Eyre was written the dominance of the Bourgeoisie was naturalised and a form of .
             hegemony was in place to uphold its power and influence.
             Jane Eyre, includes detailed descriptions of society analyzing class, religious and moral .
             values through the opinions of the characters. There is no place in the narrative in .
             which it is obvious that the society is being discussed. Rather, the ideas are implicit and .
             buried within the attitudes of the characters, towards each other and the world. The .
             society that is presented, is essentially a bourgeois capitalist society. There is a division .
             between the two opposing groups of society, the Bourgeois and the Proletariat. We can .
             also, see the remains of aristocracy, the wealthy rulers of the feudal society that was in .
             place before the rise of capitalism. Essentially, the aristocracy should have never been in .
             existence in this time, because they should have disappeared with the downfall of .
