After reading through chapter 12 of Jane Eyre and Lorde’s two article, one can find many comparisons. Jane Eyre clearly has been oppressed the whole time she lived in Gateshead with her aunt and her cousins. In a part of the book, Jane was locked in the red room by her aunt where this little girl thought she saw a ghost of her uncle and was terrified. When she called out for help instead of helping Jane, her aunt accused her of lying and extended her punishment. But just like Lorde, Jane lets go of her fear and says everything she wants to say to her aunt. Jane understood that she had enough of what she was going through and wanted to make a change instead of staying oppressed her whole life. Both Jane a little girl and Lorde, a lesbian black woman, have lived a life oppression and did not speak of it in the beginning when it started because they were doing exactly what everyone expects a female to do according to how society sees them and that is to be a ” GOOD WOMAN.” But they both saw that if they live their lives in silence it will only lead them to be oppressed their whole lives. Both Jane and Lorde are both strong human being who only wants what they deserve which is their human rights and to be treated well.
