Jane Eyre Title

The title Jane Eyre has a significant effect on the novel. To begin with the title Jane Eyre lets the reader know that the story will be about the character named Jane Eyre. It gives the reader a little bit of an inside of what is going to happen in the book.

I think it is important to have a title related to a character or characters in the book so the reader knows what to expect. Some books, for example the novel Wuthering Heights, give a title that is not well related to a character or place in the book. Looking at a book such as Wuthering Heights the reader will not know what to expect. and it may draw them away from the book.

In the end it is up to the author's decision about the title. I understand that sometimes it will not work to have a character name as the title. But in my opinion as a reader I prefer or am more likely to read a book that has a title name of a character. This is important blog topic to me because I think others will agree that novels with a character name are more appealing and makes the title of the book significant.
