The Construction of Female Images in Charlotte Bronte's Novels

Abstract

In the 19th century, British female writer Charlotte Bronte portrayed many female characters who were in adversity, unwilling to sink, struggling and tenacious in pursuit. This article takes "Jane Eyre" as an example to analyze the female images in "Jane Eyre". The female protagonists represented by Jane Eyre will always be remembered for their personality and spiritual charm, and exude permanent artistic charm, inspiring generations of women to pursue independence, self-esteem, and self-improvement. Charlotte's novels awakened the vast number of female compatriots in the Victorian era, causing them to begin to examine their own predicament. From the perspective of female images, it is not difficult to find that her work "Jane Eyre" infuses an ideal of "female beauty". By overlapping the ethical perspectives of justice and care, everyone is treated equally and fairly, and no one is harmed or neglected. Charlotte Bronte's feminist ethics not only criticize the neglect of female voices in traditional ethics, but also provide a new perspective for the construction of ethics itself.
