15549. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MR. ROCHESTER AND JANE IN JANE EYRE (CHARLOTTE BRONTĖ). This paper discusses how Brontė's ideas about marriage and gender roles in the novel compare with the views of Mary Wollstonecraft on equality and rights for women. The main difference between the two thinkers is that Brontė places more emphasis on the importance of love relationships. Examples from the novel are used to show how the character Jane seeks love, yet insists upon retaining a sense of autonomy and equality at the same time. 9p., 30f., 7b.
