Though different interpretations might be taken from the introduction that , I believe that the intent of this article is to show the use of Charlotte Bronte’s use of religion through her work and drive it towards the reader. As England was a very proper and protestant behavioral hierarchy, this factor could have influenced the novel. This idea can be supported through examples of the story, such as the all girls’ school of Lowood which Jane attends as a child. Here at the school Jane befriends Helen, a girl who places her faith in god. Jane absorbs this and exemplifies this to the reader.
Jane through the book abides by the social rules of her religion such as the scene between her and the man she falls desperately in love with, Rochester. Though in her heart she yearns to be married with him, she learns that she cannot because that would be committing bigamy. Rochester, in a cruel twist of fate was tricked into marrying an insane woman. He begs and pleads Jane to stay and love him, but she cannot because the write has illustrated for the reader her respect and faith in god.
Excellent ideas, but you need to show us as well as tell us what is going on here. Where exactly does Bell bring up religion? You need a counter-example to balance your apt reference to Jane and Helen. Finally: slow down. You'll see what that means as we go along.
