A: What aspects of the author's personal life are relevant to this story?
- Jane Eyre was written as an autobiography of Charlotte's life, so I think that the hardships are relevant to Jane Eyre.
B: Which of the author's stated beliefs are reflected in this work?
- One of Charlotte's beliefs that is reflected in Jane Eyre would be hope. In the story, I think Jane really clings to hope and believes that if she still has hope, than life can't be all that bad and that it will get better.
C: Does the writer challenge or support the values of her contemporaries?
- I think Charlotte supports the values of her fellow writers because she shares some of the same beliefs as they do.
D: What seems to be the author's major concerns? Do they reflect any of the writer's personal experiences?
- I believe Charlotte's major conerns would be that some people don't stand up for themselves. Jane got the courage to stand up to Mrs. Reed the day that she told Mr. Brocklehurst that she was a bad seed and needed to be watched. I think that this encounter did really happen in Charlotte's life.
E. Do any events in the story correspond to events expereienced by the author?
- I think every major event in the story corresponds to the events experienced by Charlotte in her actual life.
F. Do any of the characters in the story correspond to real people?
- I'm pretty sure that each character in the story was inspired by people in Charlotte's life.
Thesis: I believe that Jane Eyre was inspired by Charlott'es personal life since it is an autobiography; we can learn a lot from the book about that time period.
