Describe the theme of Charlotte Bronte's novels, giving an example.

Answer»

(i) Charlotte Bronte dealt with women who broke established norms of society before adjusting to them. Such stories allowed women readers to sympathise with rebellious actions.

(ii) In Charlotte Bronte's lane Eyre, published in 7874, young Jane is shown as independent and assertive. While girls of her time were expected to be quiet and well behaved, Jane at the age of ten protests against the hypocrisy of her elders with startling bluntness.

(iii) She tells her Aunt who is always unkind to her: 'People think you good women, but you are bad... You are deceitful! I will never call you aunt as long as you live.'
