Charlotte Brontë created with Jane Eyre one of the most delicate novels in Women Literature, questioning certain gender roles, moralities and taboos within the patriarchal society. The protagonist, Jane, a brave, clever, self-concious character on the shady side of life, struggles for the equality between men and women, rises against the puritan bigotry and understanding that puts women off the stage.
"I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will."
From Jane Eyre
