Image Analysis: Landscape from Charlotte Brönte’s point of view



These images show where Charlotte lived from a very early age. As we can see from the image, she lived next to a cemetery. Probably for a little girl living next to a cemetery was not the best thing. As she was growing up she had fears like any other child, but the fact of living next to where dead people are buried maybe scared here more, she maybe thought some paranormal stuff was going on. As we see in Jane Eyre some paranormal stuff happens, such as what happens to Jane in the red-room, Jane being also a little girl, maybe this represented something that occurred on Charlotte's childhood.
By reading Jane Eyre we know that one of the tones in the beginning of the novel is a sad and lonely point of view in Jane's life. Jane being part of a family where they didn't like her, they didn't accept her as one of their own. She had a lonely childhood, same as the field in the picture.
