Jane Eyre's Rebellious Attitude

Summary:   A discussion on how the title character Jane Eyre, from the Charlotte Bronte novel, chooses to deal with injustice. Compares the fictional character Eyre to the 1960s civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr.

Jane was able to pursue a life similar to most heroes and heroines by continuously fighting against injustice and making sacrifices.
