Jane Eyre - Character Analysis

Throughout the novel there are many characters introduced, the main character being Jane Eyre. Jane is the type of person who follows her feelings and stands strong with her beliefs. The way I found that Jane did this was when she had her first taste of love for Mr. Rochester she loved him no matter what he did or what others said about her. Ingram for one was in love with Mr. Rochester and said she was going to marry Mr. Rochester, this did not bother Jane at all because she knew that Mr. Rochester did not love Ingram at all and actually had strong feelings for Jane. Jane's character I would have to say is a very strong character for the fact that she had a very tough childhood and even a hard life to live because of the fact that her relatives despised of her. Jane took in a lot of pain and never really showed it she was one who could hide her feelings and took in a lot, her aunt never treated her fairly and lied to her uncle just so she wouldn't get inheritances.
Bertha Mason is another character that I found very interesting to read about. She is not in the novel very much but does make a large impact on the storyline. Bertha is Mr. Rochester's former wife who turned crazy just after they married several years earlier. Bertha is a very interesting character in my eyes for the fact that she is always locked up in a secret room in the third floor of Thornfield Hall. She is the one who is always making all of the ruckus that gets blamed on Grace Poole. Bertha is a crazy lady and has the tough edge because she is always trying to escape her life as a whole or even just trying to get away from Thornfield so she can start a new life. Bertha eventually makes a dramatic ending to her life by burning down Thornfield and leaving her life to plummet into the flames.
The Last character that I would like to analyse is Mrs. Reed. Mrs Reed is someone who feels that herself and her family deserve more than others in their life. She feels as though her children should be treated as upper class and have more potential in life. I think this because she treats her children with a lot of respect and not many limits, while her niece (Jane) is treated the direct opposite. Jane was always being punished for things that she didn't do and always was being punished by being locked up in the "Red Room". Mrs. Reed really feels that her children should be loved more than any other child. She gets very frustrated with her husband because he feels as though she is treating Jane very rudely and he feels bad for Jane. I feel as though Mrs. Reed is like a lot of parents that I have encountered in my life for the fact that they feel as though their children are always to be in the spotlight and need all the attention possible to get the most out of their time.
Those are some of the characters that I feel had a strong personality or a different type of characteristic that shone through the others in the novel.
