So we analyze Jane’ s growth stages and personalities to have a strong voice that rebelling the male-dominated society and pursuing independence and equal love by the view of the feminist consciousness. Firstly, we analyze the big difference between Jane Eyre and common women who lived in 19th century according to Jane’ s three growth stages. Her rebellious spirit buds in the Gateshead Hall. We can fully feel Jane’ s eagerness for freedom when she studies in the Lowood. Thornfield Hall is the place where Jane starts a new life and pursues equality. Then, we analyze Jane Eyre’ s personalities in the following part. Jane Eyre doesn’t fear the power and is eager for respectability and equality no matter in character or love. Thus, Jane tries her best to stand with Rochester not to rely on him. Because of this spirit, Jane wins Rochester’s love in the end and has a happy life. Jane’ s spirit that rebelling the power, pursuing equality, freedom, independence, makes her be the representative new-awakened woman in 19th century. This dissertation fully reflects Jane Eyre’ s new feminist consciousness through analyzing her spirits—fighting against the power, striving for women’ s equality and advocating free love.
