TEXT: Jane Eyre, Chapter 12 “Women feel just as men feel”
SUMMARY
Jane’s life at Thornfield is calm but restrictive. Although she likes Adèle and Mrs. Fairfax (the little girl she tutor at Thornfield and the houskeeper of the hall), she feels limited and hungry for wider experience. She rejects society’s idea that women should stay in domestic roles, insisting that women have the same need for action, emotion, and personal growth as men.
