IntroductionSocial lessons have always played a huge role in our world. Luckily they change along with society. The position of women in our current society is very good. Even if we still talk about sexual discrimination, women have become much more important and much less inferior to men. Once upon a time it was different. We are going back to the Victorian era, when women were not as important as they are now, and we will take a look at the position of women in Jane Eyre, a book written by Charlotte Brönte in 1847. Class Structure in the Victorian EraThe Victorian Era The Era it began in 1837 and ended in 1901. In 1837, Victoria, daughter of the Duke of Kent and Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg, became queen. 1901 is the year he died. The Victorian era was therefore the period of Queen Victoria's reign. Charlotte Brönte wrote Jane Eyre in the Victorian era. This novel focuses on the role of women in this period and the rise of new women. It closely reflects the society of that time. The position of women in Victorian society was very different from today. Women were much inferior to men. In general, they had few rights regarding education, marriage, and property. After marriage, women were considered their husband's property. “Moreover, by marriage men acquired more than just ownership of their wives' earnings and property: the law made them owners of their wives' bodies – and thus entitled them to all rights.” that those bodies produced, including domestic labor, sex and children.” There was a huge influence of different social classes in Victorian society. There were four distinct classes; the nobility and gentry, the middle class, the “upper” working class and the “lower” working class. The women of this......middle of paper......teach at a charity school in Morton. Its position shifts again towards the lower middle class. Eventually, his position changes one last time when he inherits £20,000 from his uncle. Since then he has been the same as Mr. Rochester. Despite his change of position, his attitude does not change. He also gives a lot of his money to his family. Since then, Jane is a woman of upper class, because she is married to Mr. Rochester, who is of noble class. When Mr. Rochester first asks Jane to marry him, she finds herself in an inferior position to him. Mr. Rochester wants to pay for many things for her, such as jewelry and nice clothes, but Jane doesn't feel comfortable about it. The second time Mr Rochester asks her to marry him, she has inherited £20,000 from her uncle. Since then she has been the same as Mr. Rochester and therefore it is much easier for her to marry him.
