The narrator and protagonist. This character is fiercely independent and embodies the feminist messages in the text.
The male hero of the novel. This character is strong-willed and is used to asserting his authority. Despite being above Jane in social class, she has higher morals and Brontë uses this to show that character is worth more than class.
This character is very important to the plot of the novel because of the plot twist they create. They raise questions about the treatment of women in general and gender equality in marriage. We are supposed to fear and pity this character in equal measure
This character is similar to Mr Rochester in many ways. They both try to assert their dominance over Jane but both fail due to Jane's moral nature. A main difference is that Mr Rochester truly loves Jane, whereas this character does not show love at all.
This character displays Brontë's view of the use of power and religion as a means to dominate those under their control. This character is unnecessarily cruel and their immorality is a clear contrast to Jane, despite Jane's youth at the time.
This character demonstrates love, kindness and nurturing. The character is wholly good and is rewarded for this when they retire with a large pension from their service at Thornfield Hall.
This is another example of a character who is cruel to Jane. Their power over Jane's welfare is significant, and they impact Jane's life through their cruelty and lies.
This character is responsible for Jane being sent to the red room, and arguably, therefore, to Lowood school. They are spoiled and cruel and are ultimately punished for their character flaws in adulthood.
Although not a major character, they are vital to the plot as, without them, Jane would not have gone to Thornfield and met Mr Rochester. This character shows us that Mr Rochester has a softer side.
This character's flaws are the catalyst for important events in the text. It is because they drink that Mr Rochester's bed is set on fire and eventually that Thornfield is burned down.
Despite not appearing in the text in person, this character is instrumental in creating equality in Jane and Mr Rochester's relationship. This character could have had a significant impact on Jane's life as a child, but was prevented due to jealousy.
