Jane Eyre Discussion Questions
- What is important about the title; why does Bronte choose a name for her character that has so many homonyms (heir, air). Is this intentional?
- What is significant about Jane's time at Lowood? How does this shape her character?
- Compare Bronte's descriptions of Thornfield with the descriptions of Rochester's appearance.
- What is she trying to convey?
- There are many symbols throughout Jane Eyre. What signfiicance do they hold for the plot?
- How would you describe Jane as a person? Is she believable? Is she consistent?
- How did your opinion of Rochester change when you learned what his secret was?
- Does the story end the way you expected?
- Do you think Jane Eyre is a feminist novel? Why or why not?
- How does Bronte's portray other female characters besides Jane? Who is the most significant woman in the novel other than its titular character?
- How does Jane Eyre compare to other heroines of 19th century English literature? Of whom does she remind you?
- How essential is the setting to the story? Could the story have taken place anywhere else?
- Do you think Jane and Rochester deserved a happy ending? Do you think they got one?
- How would this novel be different if it were titled The Governess? If it were titled Redemption? If it were titledThe Madwoman in the Attic?
- What would happen to the story if Jane were beautiful instead of plain? Would it matter?
- If Jane and Rochester are "akin," then what is their "kind"? What do they actually share, and what made them similar in the first place?
- Jane Eyre is divided into three volumes and also takes place in three (okay, maybe four) main settings: Gateshead and Lowood (childhood), Thornfield (young love), Moor House/Morton (temporary banishment). But the volumes don’t match up exactly with the three main sections of the plot. Why does the novel break after Volume 1, Chapter 15 (Jane saves Rochester from burning to death in his bed) and again after Volume 2, Chapter 11 (Jane discovers Rochester’s attempt at bigamy)? What might the events of these two chapters have in common?
- Is there anything supernatural in Jane Eyre that doesn’t get explained away? If so, what?
- Does the reader feel sorry for Bertha Mason? Does Rochester treat her fairly? Does she seem as bad as he suggests?
- Is Jane’s ethical sense innate? Is she born knowing right from wrong, or does she learn the difference?
- Do you always agree with Jane’s decision to stand on principle, or are there ways that the novel makes us wish she were a little more flexible? (Hint: think about the characters who argue with Jane about ethics, especially Helen Burns, St. John Rivers, and Mr. Rochester.)
- Why does Rochester like to describe Jane as some kind of supernatural creature—an elf, a fairy, a sprite, etc.? Does she have an "elfin" feel to the reader, or is he just making fun of her?
