I believe that this caption of the article is intended for those who would disagree with the basic principle of equality for women. Currer Bell in all subtlety, is saying that the traditional values of the society where women are not equal to men is not morally correct, "Conventionality is not morality." Charlotte Bronte's use of playing under the pseudonym of Currer Bell is able to express her thoughts towards those who where apart of the societal outrage of Jane Eyre. Currer Bell challenges their beliefs by stating that the work of her book is not sinful or lifting an "impious hand to the crown of thorns." (Bell vi) but instead, pointing out the social injustice towards women.
