Jane Eyre & Audre Lorde

Women’s life could not stand out in the 19th century in England. It means all culture was based on the men. Women were discriminated and not educated. It was difficult to say their opinion. The writer, Charlotte Brontë, looks like to want to complain about discrimination and unfairness in the society. She says that women have a right as human and have enough ability as much as men can do. The way to announce her thinking is writing a novel.

According to readings, silence has no power. If you want to change something, you should speak your thinking out to the world. You tell what your opinion is, what your feeling is, and who you are to people. The writer already knew this idea. She would like to let women know how to speak out. She is trying to teach it by Jane Eyre in the book. Jane Eyre never gives up on her bad situation. Jane Eyre always tells her opinion. It looks like shouting or yelling. We cannot find the silence from Jane Eyre. The writer hopes that women act like Jane Eyre.

This is not different in the current era. Discrimination still exists in the world. However, people know how to express their desire. The world will not be suddenly changed even if we speak out. However, we know that the world has been changed little by little. This is our hope and our power. We still live in unstable society. To be honest, we cannot create Utopia; the perfect and harmonious society. So we must try to make better society during life. This is for us and for next generation. In fact, speaking is one of the human’s right. No silence.
