Approach for Jane Eyre: Philosophical Approach

A. Jane's view of life is to abide by God, and make choices that follow the church. Jane follows this view of life because she will not marry Rochester because it is against the church's rules to marry someone who is already married.

B. Jane respects God and is committed to the church. The universe is not as big of a factor as God in this novel.

C. The moral statement of this story is that to Jane, following the church was more important then love. It is explicit because Jane makes the decision to leave Rochester.

D. The author thinks that fate will play a big role in life. Jane hears Rochester calling for her. Therefore she goes back to him and they are free to get married. The author appreciates fate making a happy ending. The author also respects God because Jane is strict about the rules of the church.

E. The conception of good and evil in this novel was Jane choosing Rochester over St. John. Jane chose the good choice, Rochester, instead of the evil side, St. John.

F. The novel had no obvious section with defining good and evil.

G. The work suggests that everyone makes mistakes, which is a big part of being human. Also, it shows that humans return to what feels right. Jane returns to Rochester in the end, because it felt like the right thing to do.

Thesis: Love is hard to maintain with morals and values lingering in the mind, but in the end love will always find its way.
