How accurately does this novel relfect events in history? What responsibilities does the author believe exist between various groups of society, such as workers and bosses, men and women, blacks and whites? What people, ideas and events probably influenced this author? I think Jane Eyre reflects events in history well for what little history it mentioned. I think it only mentioned a Typhus outbreak at Lowood due to poor location and not very clean living quarters. I think Charlotte believes that the men have more respobsibilities than women, like having a real job besides cooking like women do. Also, servants and their bosses have different responsibilities. Servants have to do more of the dirty work for their bosses, like taking care of the children, cooking, cleaning, and sometimes teaching the children. The bosses' responsibilites would be more along the lines of making the money. I believe Charlotte's events that happend in her life influenced the events in Jane Eyre given that this is an autobiography , as well as the stories other people told her like Helen Burns when she described herself as "forgetful of rules and disobediant." (pg:68 p:8). I think this molded the way Jane looked at the world.
