Jane Eyre - an Analysis
The Oxford dictionary states that a classic is of lasting importance; typical, and famous because it is long-established. But this only hints at what makes a classic. Yes it is true that most classics have been around for a long time but this is not purely what makes then a classic. It is the reasons why they have lasted so long that make something a classic. These reasons can be condensed into four broad aspects.

Jane Eyre
"Women are supposed to be very calm generally: but women feel just as men feel; they need exercise for their faculties, and a field for their efforts as much as their brothers do; they suffer from too rigid a restraint, too absolute a stagnation, precisely as men would suffer.” (Bronte ch.12) Jane wasn’t your typical woman, explained in this quote, wanting to experience more of the world.

The Representation of the Doubleness of Selfhood in Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre and Jean Rhys’s Wide Sargasso Sea
In this study of Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre and Jean Rhys's Wide Sargasso Sea I aim to consider the representation of the doubleness of selfhood, and how both between and within the two novels a continuous mirroring of double identity, (reflecting like a hall of mirrors), can be traced. I will concentrate chiefly on the duality of the female personae, although I will also consider briefly the concept of doubling across gender boundaries. Miller maintains

Disney Is Not Taking over Childrens Lives - Persuasive Speech

I also believe

For this I will primarily be looking at Charlotte Bronte’s ‘Jane Eyre’ and the poetry of John Donne. The progression of Jane Eyre’s life is shown by a variety of links to religion due to the many changes in her way of life. Bronte shows
