Jane Eyre like many women during her time period underwent oppression throughout their life. Throughout the book, we noticed many instances where other females that interacted with Jane approached similar situations very differently. They seemed to accept the reality they faced, Jane did not. An important scene that demonstrated Jane’s actual train of thought was in chapter 12, we clarify the disgust Jane has towards silence. Jane states how it’s not right that human beings, in general, should be content with tranquillity. Therefore, women should not be okay with the reality they face. That woman are treated less than men, yet they are the same as men and undergo the same emotions men go through and are also capable of the same strengths of men. In the reading Transformation of Silence into Language and Action by Lorde, we also are aware of Lorde’s hatred towards silence. Lorde tell’s us that silence is not something saves us instead of its something that hurts us, she mentioned:  “If I were to have been born mute, or had maintained an oath of silence my whole life long for safety, I would still have suffered, and I would still die.” This clearly means that even when you accept your reality you will always suffer because it’s not something you truly want or believe you deserve. You may not face physical hardships because of your silence, but you will face hardships with yourself. Both Jane and Lorde have common thoughts about rebellion as well. Being that they are not content with people staying silent, they believe it is our own duty to speak upon the injustice we face. Jane speaks about the successful rebellions throughout history and justifies a need for rebellion by making us believe that we are all the same by her examples. While Lorde has the same strategy as well. She tells us that it is our duty as well to speak up because that is the only way people will find out about the hardships that are actually being fought but, most importantly by speaking up this will spark a rebellion in which many people will side with the people being oppressed.
