The Soul Select Her Own Society

I think this Emily Dickens poem is most suited for Jane Eyre for the reason that there is always this conflict between the truth of her being and the way society perceives her to be. Without any societal influence, if Jane Eyre came out of the womb and was never once labeled with any kind of negativity or exiled from the societal world by her previous “family” of Gateshead, I personally think that Jane would be a very well rounded, confident, intelligent, and rather normal sociable girl. Even with society always somehow working against her natural flow, she always climbs out in the end making whatever situation work out. Some people believe in a God but I believe in an energy that flows in a certain direction in this world, and although I wholly understand this is a book, I feel like in Jane Eyre’s world, as much as society continues to incidentally beat her down, she always eventually holds true to herself. For instance, just as all was about to go well for her and Mr. Rochester, she finds her world crashing down because he is actually married. So then she takes it upon herself to leave the house and become homeless instead even though that was the last thing she wanted. And then she takes it upon herself to begs her way into Marsh End which eventually leads her to another job. Although at first Diana and Hannah had judged her for being a begger on the street, Jane proves herself otherwise, and even tells off the girls for doing so.
