Comparing Charlotte Brontė and Jane Eyre

Throughout Charlotte Brontė’s novel, Jane Eyre, Jane finds herself in strange places; oftentimes the locations that Brontė has chosen for the setting in Jane Eyre are similar to scenes in her own life. Various scenes in Jane’s life, such as Gateshead Hall, Lowood, Thornfield, and the Moor House, are all settings that correspond chronologically to scenes in Brontė’s life. This correspondence has helped Brontė describe Jane’s life naturally and with a personal touch.
Gateshead Hall, where Jane experiences much of her childhood life, is comparable to Charlotte Brontė’s birthplace, Haworth. At Haworth, Charlotte Brontė grew up with the loss of her mother, and, in a way, the loss of her father; after Mrs. Brontė’s death, Mr. Brontė grew more and more isolated from the rest of the family. Charlotte’s aunt took care of the children most of the time, at times rather harshly. Faced with economic and social problems, Charlotte’s brother Patrick turned to alcoholism and eventually died after bringing much shame and disappointment to the family.
