The development of Charlotte Bronte’s and Jane Eyre’s characters The development of Charlotte Bronte’s characters Charlotte Bronte is a typical female who is rather independent and tough in character. She is born in 1816 at Thornton, in Yorkshire, England. Her father is an Irish Anglican clergyman, and her mother is a housewife, who is unfortunately dead of cancer when Charlotte is only five years old. Charlotte is the third child of the six 5 children. In 1824, Charlotte is sent with three of her sisters to the Clergy Daughters’ School at Cowan Bridge in Lancashire. Because of its poor condition and awful treatment, two of her sisters die , Charlotte still maintains, but her health and physical development are permanently affected, so she and her sister Emily removed from the school and go back home in Haworth Parsonage. When Charlotte is a little girl, she is very interested in literature and she writes many short stories and poems to prepare for her literary vocations. When Charlotte grows up to fifteen years old, she continues her education at Roe Head School in Midfield. In 1839, Jane leaves Roe Head School and she takes up the first of many positions as governess to various families in Yorkshire. The job at that time is treated with bias and she suffers and bears so much. During 1839 to 1841, Jane workes as a governess two times but each period was short because she hated even abhorred the occupation so she can’t take it up any more. To make a living, Charlotte and her sister Emily want to open a school to teach children French, but they are not good at this language. In 1842, they travel to Brussels to learn French. They meet Mr. Herger, the owner of the Pension at Herger, a girl’s school, where Charlotte and Emily are pupils and Charlotte later teaching. Mr. Herger is a handsome and intelligent man. During the period of learning, Charlotte falls in love with the married man. But she puts her affections deeply in her heart. Her first novel, The Professor published under the name Currier Bell, is based on her experiences of teaching in Brussels, but never found a publisher in her lifetime. Undeterred by her own rejection, Charlotte begins Jane Eyre, which es out as an immediate success. The novel is described as “the masterwork of a great genius.” To describe Charlotte’s love story, it is simple. During the period between 1839 and 1842, there are two men ask for Charlotte’s proposal, one is the brother of Charlotte’s friend, another is a young clergyman. Charlotte rejects to them for the reason that she thinks she is not their true love but a tradition but to follow the tradition to marry a woman, however, when Charlotte meets her true lover Mr. Herger, who has been married, she just puts her love in heart deeply. Her attitude towards love is very vivid。 it is precious that she knows who she loves and what she wants. The development of Jane Eyre’s characters The heroine Jane Eyre is a very poor girl but in her temperament, she strives for equality and selfrespect. Jane Eyre is an orphan, in the eyes of Mrs. Reed and the 6 mistress’s children。 Jane is an “external person”, an “alien”, “a person rather than servant”. In Gate head, everyone treats her meanly and coldly, she does not have an explicit position and identity, she does not feel fortable about her living environment but she is not able to change it. The reality brings her up into a personality of solitary, sensitive and obstinate. She cherishes her rights and dignity as a human, especially when she is only a little girl, she uses a pair of eyes of earlymaturing child and a pure child’s heart to observe and judge good or bad around. She has a rich inner world but no one to tell, so it brings her a personality of quiet and indifferent outside but passionate heart inside. As Mrs. Reed cannot hold Jane any longer, Jane is sent to a charitable school for poor girls in Logwood. At first, she thinks it is a paradise but in fact a hell except the benevolent intention in name. Bad food, thin clothes, two girls live in one small bed, six persons use one basin.
