Jane Eyre에 나타난 Jane의 자아실현

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Jane Eyre, written by Charlotte Bront¨ has been appreciated and approached from the viewpoint of feminism since 1970s.
In the 19th century England, male-oriented ideology was rooted more deeply than in any other period. The oppression and idealization of women were at its peak during this era, where women were forced to be dependent and obedient to men as well as expected to be as chaste and humble as an angel.
Bront¨ had a deep concern for women and women's real problem. She dealt with independent women in her works. Especially in Jane Eyre, she showed female realities such as confinement, orphanhood, rage, marriage and even madness and imperialism. She attempted to realize a female identity. She showed the rebellion against and criticized the prevailing ideology concerning women's oppressed lives. She also tried to reveal the injustice of sexual ideology derived from the patriarchal and puritanic cultures.
The purpose of this study is to examine how Jane realizes her own identity, from the imprisonment of her childhood toward a goal of mature freedom.
In this novel, Bront¨ reveals how Jane struggled through the social and sexual prejudices prevalent in a patriarchal society. In addition, she showed how Jane overcame these barriers in search of a true female identity.
Jane has found her identity travelling her life's route: Gateshead in which she becomes of herself through the first resistance against oppression in her life.
Lowood where she gets a basic competence through the education and the intellectual exchange between women such as Helen Burns and Miss Temple.
Thornfield in which she has a romantic love with Rochester and overcomes the crisis of self-effacement resulted from the complication between love and self.
Moor House where she acquires the understanding of the complete self-identity, through the refusal of becoming an ideal wife.
Ferndean in which the equal marriage is achieved with Jane's own decision.
Finally, Jane married Mr. Rochester. This romantic ending is the peak and highlight in this novel. Marriage is the completion of the life of Jane. It is not patriarchal marriage in the sense of the marriage that stunts and diminishes the woman, but a continuation of this woman's creation of herself.
Helen's noble religious spirit and Miss Temple's maternal love have influenced on her establishment of identity and mental development. Jane enjoys the mutual understanding with cousins, Diana and Mary. I'm sure that women's mental sympathy helps women to find their identities.
Rochester, who enjoys the male-dominated culture and colonial value, is used to thinking Bertha Mason as the outsider, marginalizing her, destroying her identity, and dehumanizing her. However, at length she realizes her identity and expresses her repressed rage by madness. Bertha is established as a positive role model helping Jane not to lose her subjectivity in the male-oriented society.
Jane experiences the oppression from the patriarchy of male-dominated society, and then finds her identity in the very society. I focus on how a woman finds and how she establishes her identity. If women construct their identities, they will be able to achieve the true mutual equality between men and women more easily.
