Question

Jane Eyre is described as plain rather than beautiful. Would the plot of the novel still make sense if Jane were beautiful? How would the story be different if Jane were not poor? Why does it matter?

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

Jane Eyre's life is really sad and depressing.

If Jane was beautiful and rich then it would change the entire story.

There would most likely be less bullying and abuse. Jane would most likely have a higher self esteem and she would have had more friends and nicer experiences, and love her life.

She would have been very popular at school and maybe even bullied other kids.

After being bullied, homeless, and having people she care about die. Eyre finally achieves her goals and becomes a better person. She gets married to the guy she is in love with and stayed married for 10 more wonderful years and she and her husband, Rochester, were very happy together. If Jane were beautiful and rich, she would have never met Mr, Rochester and she would probably not be grateful for the life she has.

Jane would have most likely grown up having a lot more friends that cared for her and protected her from all the harsh things the world has to offer. She would probably have different opinions and a whole new personality. She would have never met her love, Mr Rochester, and in the end would have a completely different life because of it. Most likely be married to a different man.

In conclusion, if Jane were beautiful the entire plot of the story would change. She would not have gotten bullied and she would have been loved by everyone. She would have never met the love of her life and probably end up marrying someone else. She would probably have more friends and would have been very popular.
