This thesis aimed to study a woman’s independent subject in 19th century in Charlotte Brontё’s novel, Jane Eyre. During the Victorian period, there were many things women were restricted from doing. They were forced to be ‘Angels in the house’ as ‘proper ladies’ and treated like possessions of men. They were often required to be passive and domestic.

However, Jane was different. even though she was an orphan and lower middle class, she was confident and able to speak her voice out. She fought against patriarchal ideology and unfair treatment. She refused to be ‘the angel in the house’ and willingly resisted and disobeyed men and all the systems which threatened her independence. Charlotte Brontё instilled her experiences into Jane.

Since he totally used up her energy and talent to succeed in his business, Jane inherited her legacy and shared it out equally.
