Jane Eyre - women's point of view through Novel

 Quotes from Jane Eyre:

“I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being, with an independent will; which I now exert to leave you.”

"I am not an angel,' I asserted; 'and I will not be one till I die: I will be myself. Mr. Rochester, you must neither expect nor exact anything celestial of me - for you will not get it, any more than I shall get it of you: which I do not at all anticipate.”

“I can live alone, if self-respect and circumstances require me so to do. I need not sell my soul to buy bliss. I have an inward treasure born with me, which can keep me alive if all extraneous delights should be withheld, or offered only at a price I cannot afford to give.”

"I care for myself. The more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained, the more I will respect myself. I will keep the law given by God; sanctioned by man. I will hold to the principles received by me when I was sane, and not mad - as I am now."
