In Persuasion and Charlotte Brontë's novel, Jane Eyre and Jane Austin are said to be the "ideal women" for marriage. Austen, coming from a rich father, gave her more privileges for her independence. On the other hand, Jane Eyre was not rich but her struggle gave her the ability to be strong and her pain gave her the strength to be courageous. For today's readers, Jane Austen and Jane Eyre would be considered the protagonists of the stories for their ability to manage their lives and the lives of others at such a young age. Marriages are similar today, except that women are more liberal today than they were in the 1800s. Even though Jane Eyre wasn't as wealthy and didn't have the same luxury, Austen was determined to get an education. Tough Jane was an orphan and grew up in an abusive family that she was always determined to learn from. Jane's agony is felt when she writes: “Why have I always suffered, always been intimidated, always accused, forever condemned? Why could I never please? Why was there no point in trying to win anyone's favor? (Jane 642) Jane loved reading but was forbidden from accessing the books in the family library. The Reeds’ son John writes: “You don’t have to take our books; you are an addict, said mother; you have no money; your father didn't leave you any; you should beg; and not live with the children of gentlemen like us, and eat the same meals as us; and wear clothes at mom's expense. (John 639) The humiliation she endured as a child helped build her resilience. In the novel, you can feel her strength, her courage and her determination to be different, as the story tells. Nevertheless, she had the qualities of a caring, helpful and intelligent young woman; given her life, she is...... middle of paper...... people who are a great quality to have to have a successful marriage. In the following quote, I believe Anne is talking about the inequality of men compared to women. How men portrayed women as fragile, uneducated, and housebound, giving them simply the title of mother and wife. Anne in her novel showed herself to be not only a wife but also an educator. Anne writes: “Men have had every advantage from us in telling their own story. Education was theirs in a much higher degree; the pen is in their hands. I will not allow the books to prove anything. » (Anne 243) Modern culture can relate to this quote because we have achieved a level of freedom that many women in the 1800s were not able to see how men have evolved over time and also share the same thing. same interest in finding a married woman who is educated and capable of making her own life decisions.
