The Fight for a Woman's Love:.
A man's love for a woman can go a long way. If he really loves her with all his heart he would not do anything to hurt her. He would cherish her and treat her like the queen that she is. If a man does not treat a woman like he should, then I believe that the man should not be with that woman. In the novel Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte, a young woman's passionate search for a better life did not come easy. Growing up in a Victorian society, the young woman, Jane Eyre, had to overcome terrible cruelty though her own willpower. Jane never had a father figure in her life. Besides Mr. Lloyd, the family's kind apothecary, every other man in the first half of her life did not treat Jane well at all (Berg 28). One of the most cruel and uncaring male characters in the novel, is the hypocritical master of the Lowood School, Mr. Brocklehurst. In one instance, after being called a lair in front of the whole school, Jane was forced to stand on a stool while Mr. Brocklehurt ridiculed and yelled at her.
Although Jane did not have much luck with the men who entered her life, she found one who somewhat "fell in- unexpectedly. As Jane arrives at her new job in Thornfield, she sees a man who has fallen from his horse. As kind and caring as Jane is, she proceeds to approach the stranger and says: "Are you injured, sir? Can I do anything? If you are hurt, and want help, sir, I can fetch some one, either from Thornfield Hall or from Hay- (Bronte 129). As faith would have it, the man who fell off.
his horse and into Jane's life, was the inheritor of Thornfield, Mr. Edward Rochester. Mr. Rochester is similarly described in Jane Eyre as having granite-hewn features (Berg 58). According to Jane:.
"He had a dark face, with stern features and a heavy brow; his eyes and gathered eyebrows looked ireful and thwarted just now; he was past youth, but had not reached middle age; perhaps he might be thirty-five.
