What are the features of Romanticism that can be traced in Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre?I read that the novel contains features of romanticism and...

Romanticism is a literary movement which values the
natural aspect of emotions and opts for an unadulterated version of reality. In other
words, is literature that deals with situations that stir the reader's emotions greatly
for the realism of the details, and the fact that it presents people for what they are:
The good is good, the bad is bad, and the horrible is horrible- no chance to "sugar
coat" situations, nor present a more amiable alternative to
challenges.

In Jane Eyre we see a woman who has gone
through some really harsh situations. All throughout her life she had held strongly
against adversity. Even her love situation was a challenge that she would have to carry
heavily in her heart, and suffer from it.

In addition to
this, the story has a Gothic touch, by adding mystery, intrigue, and the addition of
fate, consequences, and other situations that are beyond the control of the characters.
Gothic literature is like the "evil twin" of romantic literature. Jane
Eyre displays an awesome combination of both
genres.

Therefore, the realism of the situations, the
strong and vivid nature of the emotions described, the touches of Gothic elements, and
the story in itself- a rough-ride into the real world-are just a number of the qualities
that make Jane Eyre a great Romantic novel.
