The introduction of Jane Eyre explains the origin of the creativity behind Bronte's novel. Like Jane in the novel, Charlotte Bronte's life is full of misery such as the death of a parent. Bronte was also forced to move around like Jane did in the novel. Because of this sort of background, Bronte was able to move beyond the stereotypical 'docile victorian girl' and write with such talent it seemed as if a man had done it.

With the ambiguous Currer Bell as her alias, Bronte was able to be discovered in the world of writing, even after her harsh backgrounds. This almost parrallels the idea of social mobility in the novel, as Jane develops from almost nothing to a very wealthy lifestyle. Also because of the alias, Bronte was able to form distinctive characters with feminine touch but masculine attitude, for instance, dealing with issues such as adultery were sean as unwomanlike, but it is a major theme of the novel.
