Jane Eyre Question 4

The hero of the classic novel Jane Eyre is Jane Eyre. Jane has numerous traits that make her a hero. She is intelligent. She worked hard in school to learn French and other subjects. She used her education to make money and make a living for herself. Jane is forgiving. She forgives those who hurt her. She forgave Bessie and Mr. Rochester. She even forgave Georgina and stayed with her two weeks after her mother dies. She is also kind. She treats people with respect and although she gets stubborn at times she is still polite and respectful. She accomplishes many things. She gets three jobs as governesses and a teacher. She also accomplishes true love and good friendships. Jane is portrayed as a sweet independent girl. She tends to stay to herself and is not really that out going. I think Jane is portrayed as a real or true person. She does not judge or treat people badly. She is someone everyone could get along with. To other characters in the book Jane could be considered an outcast. She is judged unfairly because she is poor and is marrying a rich man. I think Jane represents an abstract idea of kindess. She treats people right and is a good person.
