12、sis is presented at the end of this part.As an important member part of the social community, female plays an integral role in the humans live. Because of the different physical and psychological factors, female has been living as a carrier of man in the history. However, female has become self-empo
13、werment and independent in the current society. In a word, female has the same intelligence and courage as men. Compared with men, females pursuit of the advancement is getting higher and higher, which makes the equality between male and female become one of the females social requirement. For hundr
14、ed years, people have paid great attention to females position and their rights in the society. In 1960s, the feminist movement is popular for a time. Without a doubt, feminism has prevailed all over the world. And the concept of sexual equality has become one of the hottest topics among researchers
15、 and scholars. This thesis is going to explore the equality between female and male in light of feminism.1.1 Research background Jane Eyre, written by Charlotte Bronte (18161855) in 1847, has gained great popularity, and it became one of the most popular books during Victorians. It was Jane Eyres re
16、volt, hating of giving in and the spirit of requiring equality that made this book distinguished from others.1 The novel is about Jane Eyres life. Jane Eyre is a poor orphan, who lives with her wealthy aunt. However, her aunt and cousin are unkind to Jane, never failing to emphasize how she is below
17、 them, but Jane never gives in. When tensions escalate, Jane is sent to Lowood, a boarding school by the inhumane Mr Brocklehurst, she is soon branded a liar, but she never gives up. With the help of Miss Temple, she becomes a teacher eight years later. When Miss Temple marry and move away, Jane dec
18、ides to change careers, and then she come to the Thornfield Hall as governess. During this time, she falls in love with Mr Rochester. As she knows that Mr Rochester is married, she is not willing to sacrifice her morals or self-respect to accept the status of mistress. Therefore, Jane flees Thornfie
19、d in the middle night. After wondering for a few days, Jane finds a safe haven, she is saved by St. John. John learns Janes true identity, so he insists they must be married and go to India together, but Jane refuses. At that time, Jane hears Rochesters voice calling her in the wind, she immediately
20、 travels to Thonfield Hall, only to find it destroyed by a fire and abandoned. This also can not destroy the true love, when Jane finds Rochester, they get and live a happy life.A large number of researchers have researched on Jane Eyre for decades. From the standard search of CNKI, there are 107,00
21、0 descriptions about Jane Eyre. Many previous scholars researches on Jane Eyre are mainly about womens political rights and their roles, with the major purpose to cater to the womens liberation movement. However, this research will pay more attention to eulogize the charm of female and the equality
22、between male and female.1.2 The significance of the thesis Theoretically, this research has enriched the theoretical research of Jane Eyre. It gives a deeper analysis of this book from Jane Eyres work, it will fully explore the marriage and her awareness of protecting females rights, which will enab
23、le readers to have better understanding and appreciation of Jane Eyre.Practically, female students belong to the modern female, who are also going to go into the society, to face life and face to marriage. From this thesis, they can gain certain enlightenment from the analysis of Jane Eyres pursuing
24、 in the equality between male and female. In some way, it can tell us how to protect the status and dignity of our females in the future life of work and marriage.1.3 An overall structure of the thesisThere are four parts in my research. The first part is an introduction about the background and as
25、well as the research significance of the thesis, the second part mainly describes the literature review of this dissertation, namely feminism, the third part is a deep analysis Jane Eyres pursuit of equality between male and female in her different age stages, when she was a child, she confronts her
26、 aunts mind, cousins of contempt, insults and abuse. As she grows up, young Jane Eyre hopes to own an equal opportunity as men in terms of applying her talents and creating her own success. When Jane is wandering outside, she refuses priest Johns propose because of his conception of regarding female
27、 as tools and dependency. And the last part is a conclusion of the whole passage.II. Literature ReviewThis part begins with the brief introduction of feminism, which form the theoretical base for this research. And this part discusses in terms of a study on feminism in Jane Eyre. And then it provide
28、s the general research on the feminism and the previous research of equality between male and female. 2.1 A brief introduction on feminismFeminism is a primary source and motivation on females experience of social theory and political movement. Many feminism supporters criticize on social relationsh
29、ip, and they also pay attention to analyze the gender inequality. Although there are various theories and focuses on feminism, they all come to a conclusion: to achieve gender equality in all humanity. One of the most important goals of feminism is to fight for the equal value of family and social l
30、abor, and political rights equivalence. Thus it emphasizes there are not differences in intelligence and ability between male and female, that is to say, feminism emphasizes on the equity in social labor, namely, to realize equality between male and female in the work, in marriage, family, and polit
31、ical rights as well. 2.2 Previous research of feminism at home and abroadThe history of feminism idea can date back to six century BC in ancient Greek. However, feminism began to grow up as a trend of political and social thought until eighteen century. In 1792, the Britain journalist and translator
32、 Mary Wollstonecraft2 finished her first important feminism theory book A Vindication of the Rights of Woman. And there were more than one hundred magazines and newspapers about womens liberation movement in America until 1997. What worth us to mention is that there are also many books about feminis
33、m theory published around the USA, for example, Betty Friedan(1963) wrote Feminine Mystique, Kate Milite(1970) wrote Sexual Politics, Shulamisi Feiersitong(1970) wrote Dialectic of Sex, etc. Moreover, feminism became an important academic research from 1990s and it is still a popular topic in the 21
34、st century. Lijun Nie and Lan Ma3 (2011) make the previous theories into practice in their book of A Discuss on Feminism Awareness During the Vicissitude Journey of Chinese Equality Between Men and Women. Many previous scholars researches on feminism are mainly about womens political rights and thei
35、r roles, with purposes to cater to the womens liberation movement. It is a condition as Dale Spencer explain: I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat or a prost
36、itute.4At that time, the research just displayed the pursuit for the womans political rights. The feminist just means the equality of political status between male and female. However, many modern scholars pay more attention to eulogize the charm of female and the equality between male and female. 2
37、.3 Previous research of the equality between male and female To be equal between male and female, it is a wonderful social ideal. Since the New Civilization Movement (around the time of the May 4th Movement in 1919), a great number of researchers have studied on the equality between male and female.
38、 In 2012, Litvinova Sventlana,5 a licentiate of Legal Science who come from the far east of Russia University, has his questionnaire research about the equality between men and women, Report of Chinese Young Men and Women Equality-According to the questionnaire reseach. From his research, we can lea
39、rn about the fact of Chinese young men and women. There are two antithetical ideals in litvinova Sventlana research in the process of equality between men and women. The one is respect womans rights, and the other is the obsolete ideal of maintaining female role. But Chinese traditional culture main
40、tains the stale ideal of female. As we all know, cultural tradition is the inherent form of thinking, it is difficult to change and the research of equality between men and women is necessary.Employing feminism as the theoretical support, the writer of this thesis takes Jane Eyre as the research obj
41、ect. And this thesis does research on Jane Eyes pursuit of gender equality in her occupation, love and her awareness of protecting rights. To some extent, this thesis not only enriches Jane Eyres theoretical research on the foundation of the previous researches about the book, but also inspires mode
42、rn females awareness of protecting rights. III. Analyzing from Jane Eyres Pursuit of Equality Between Male and FemaleThis part presents several parts of the content about Jane Eyre. At first, it will present the content about Janes free occupation pursue in Jane Eyre with the analysis, and then we c
43、an learn about the enlightenment to Modern Female. Second, it will provide the content about Free Love Pursued Jane Eyre, it uses the same research method, at last, Jane Eyres the pursuit of Equal Rights are researched from the content of Jane Eyre. This part used the Feminism as the theoretical bas
44、is to analyze the content of Jane Eyre. We can get the enlightenment at last. And all the materials used in analysis in the following sections are quoted from the novel Jane Eyre.63.1 The pursuit of free occupation 3.1.1 Jane Eyres pursuit of free occupation In the early years of the Victorian age,
45、people believes that womans place is at home, so women were not allowed to go to work at that time. Even some middle class women went to work, they just can work as governesses or tailor career. Furthermore, people always think that women are obedient, female who have more privilege hold the opinion
46、 that they should only do pudding, knit socks, playing the piano and embroidered purses. But Jane do not want to stay at home, she want to go to work as a man.“A new servitude! There is something in that I soliloquized (mentally, be it understood; I did not talk aloud).”6 This thought always occured
47、 in Jane Eyres mind during her eight years in Sally Ward School, and she wanted to get away with the limitations of schools regulations and system. Women can realize economic independence only by owning a career, and economic independent can protect females rights of equivalent.When she finally came
48、 to Sandfield as a teacher, she still insisted of pursing equality. For instance, confronting difficulties or confusion, without any cowardice, she talk to Rochester, her owner, a man with strange temper and unstable emotionally. No matter how Rochester combat her or did not like her, Jane can always maintain her dignity. As Jane Eyre said： I dont think. Sir, you have a right to command me, merely because you are older than I, or because you have seen more of the world than I have; your claim to superiority depends on the use you have made of your time and experience.6Jane
