In order to run your buissnes
It is possible to question Jane Eyre’s
proto-feminism on the grounds that Jane only becomes Rochester’s
full equal (as she claims to be in the novel’s epilogue-like last
chapter) when he is physically infirm and dependent on her to guide
him and read to him—in other words, when he is physically incapable
of mastering her. However, it is also possible that Jane now finds
herself Rochester’s equal not because of the decline Rochester has
suffered but because of the autonomy that she has achieved by coming
to know herself more fully.<span />
