How does the theme of the presentation of women develop through the novel? In this tutorial we look at the different women in Jane Eyre. We discuss Jane and her doubles – Bertha and Blanche, we analyse sub-groups of women, including the mothers (Mrs Fairfax, Mrs Reed), the sisters (Reeds and Rivers), the maiden (Miss Temple) and Rosamond Oliver and Celine Varens (link with Blanche as a femme fatale)
