THE PROBLEMS OF FEMALE EMANCIPATION AND THE PECULIARITIES OF THE CREATION OF A FEMALE CHARACTER IN THE NOVELS OF SH. BRONTE “JANE EYRE” AND J. ELIOT “THE MILL ON THE FLOSS”
Abstract
This article explores the problems of female emancipation and the peculiarities of the creation of female characters in Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre and George Eliot’s The Mill on the Floss. While Jane Eyre presents a heroine who seeks independence, self-respect, and economic freedom, The Mill on the Floss portrays Maggie Tulliver as a woman constrained by social and familial expectations. A comparative analysis of these two novels highlights the authors’ feminist perspectives and critiques of 19th-century gender inequality. The study examines the role of education, economic independence, and moral strength in shaping these female protagonists and their struggles for autonomy.
