Outline for Jane Eyre
on Jane Eyre
Thesis: In Jane Eyre, Charlotte Bronte uses characterization and symbolism to decry the limited role of women in 19th century England.
Bronte begins by using symbolism to explore Jane's essential character and society's response to that character.
Bertha Mason, a woman who lives outside the respectable limits of society, is a character that serves as Jane's alter ego.
