Abstract
This paper, from the perspective of Romanticism, reinterprets Jane Eyre, a great work by Charlotte Bronte, a realistic writer. The dissertation mainly analyzes the artistic characteristics of this novel, namely, the perfect combination of Active Romanticism and Dark Romanticism. Jane Eyre is a complicated work whose charm lies in its duality of artistry and artistic technique. The outstanding point of Charlotte Bronte is that she mingles Active Romanticism and Dark Romanticism to a harmonious entirety and makes them complement each other in order to achieve the aim of bringing forth new ideas. This article analyzes Active Romanticism in detail and introduces Dark Romanticism and its function in Jane Eyre to further our understanding of Romanticism and the masterpiece of Charlotte Bronte.
