An author's attitude can be related to the tone of the author. In Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, her tone is fanciful and erudite. The attitude Bronte has is fanciful because she uses imagination when she writes. Bronte does not write directly and plainly to get to the point. She uses figurative language that remains imaginative and creative. She also writes with an erudite attitude because she writes like she knows what she is talking about. Although she uses creativity, she remains scholarly and intelligent. Therefore, she writes with a fanciful, yet erudite attitude and tone.
Bronte has many common values she shared within the novel. In the beginning of the story, Jane is headstrong and does not let herself be bullied by her cousins. When her cousin, John, throws a book at her, Jane gets angry with him. Jane insults him and yells at him, therefore she is standing up for herself. Obviously, Bronte values the bullied to stand up for themselves. Another value of Bronte's was inner beauty. She showed this when Rochester chooses plain Jane over the beautiful Blanche. Rochester valued Jane's intelligence and charm over Blanches beauty and social class. One last value Bronte has is love. When Jane and Rochester are forbidden to marry because of Rochester's secret marriage to Bertha, they still hear each others voice after a year and carryout their marriage. This shows that they are truly in love when they hear each others voices, almost magically.
