JANE EYRE - JANE / ROCHESTER CONTRASTS

AS ENGLISH LITERATURE
JANE EYRE – JANE AND ROCHESTER CONTRASTS AND OPPOSITIONS

A way of looking at the relationship between Rochester and Jane is to consider the many oppositions and contrasts that exist between them both. These contrasts help make an interesting and dynamic text to read.  These characteristics may also be supported by the gender roles of men and women in the society the novel was written in.
