Later when she meets her cousin and he wants to marry her,she refuse, because she realizes that she is still loves Rochester deeply. She understands she will have to forfeit her independence in the unions, and at last she marries Rochester only when she has attained the financial independence and selfrespect to maintain a marriage of equality. In the spirit, Jane thinks she is equal to others. She said to Rochester: ?i am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh。 it is my spirit that addresses your spirit。 just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God39。s feet, equal, as we are!?⑥ These words reflect Jane?s spirit for encourage, equality and freedom . As before said, the economic independence is the material basis of human equality .Then we can also say: equality of psychology is the spiritual basis between man and woman. After reviewing a long journey of Jane?s persuit of equality, from the readers point of view, what she gives us is not a pretty face or a transcendent temperament that make us admire deeply, but a huge charm of her personality, she is a marvelous figure, and it is safe to say that Jane Eyre gives readers treasure spirit. Jane’s Persuit of Independent The independent spirit is another most important aspect attracting readers. Jane Eyre is exposed to a hostile environment but continuously and fearlessly struggling for her ideal life. To some degree, the novel can be interpreted as a symbol of the 10 independent spirit. In Jane Eyre, mistreatment and unfairness force Jane to struggle for selfrespect, while knowledge and worthwhile work provide her with enough economic supply to gain independence. Jane, casting alone on the world and fighting a solitary battle, shows her determination in pursuing her selfesteem and independence at every stage of her life, both in struggling with social pressure and resisting the temptation of passion and love. In every relationship, Jane rises from inferiority to superior, and finally gains full independence through continuous rebellion. Besides, Jane Eyre reads a lot of books, so she has a clear understanding of the society. She is passionate, but her reason always can rule her emotion. This character helps her maintaining her selfrespect and independence. Jane?s path of life, it is ceaselessly changing, but living principles remain. Firmly persisting for the rights of being independent gives people enough confidence and courage. Rebellion Besides the equality and independence, rebellion is a important character in Jane?s life. Jane, a penniless orphan girl of a poor parson?s family is under the cruel rule of her aunt, Mrs. Reed. During the ten years of her stay there, Jane suffers many insultsall her cousins? proud indifference, all her aunt?s aversion, and all the servants? snobbery. They often find pleasures in teasing and mocking Jane. One day Jane has a conflict with her cousin, John Reed, who often bullies and abuses her. It is the first struggle for her. At this stage her instinct for selfassertion can express itself in rebellion. Goaded by John Reed?s bullying, she hits back on two occasions, fighting like a mad cat until she is overpowered. In order to get human basic rights, she must fight against people who make trouble in her life. Before leaving Gateshead, Jane is stung by Mrs. Reed?s accusations that she is deceitful. Jane hits back in words, insisting on her own honesty, telling her aunt how 11 much she dislikes her and making her first articulate claim for love,“ How dare I, Mrs. Reed, Mrs. Reed? How dare I? Because it is the truth. You think I have no feelings, and that I can do without one bit of love or kindness。 but I cannot live so。 and you have no pity. Is hall remember how you thrust me backroughly and violently thrust me back into the redroom, and locked me, up thereto my dying day, though I cried out, while suffocation with distress. Have mercy! Have mercy! Have mercy Aunt Reed! And that punishment you made me suffer because your wicked boy struck meknocked me down for nothing. I will tell anybody who asks me questions, this exact tale. People think you a good woman, but you are bad。 hardhear teed. You are deceitful!”⑦ Jane directly exposes Mrs. Reed?s ugly face, which makes Mrs. Reed very angry. No matter what happens, Jane Eyre tastes something of vengeance for the first time at Gateshead. And readers get the first impression of the rebellious. At lowood charity school, Jane?s spirit of rebellion develops. In lowood, once she says to her best friend, Helen Buns,“ A great deal: you are good to those who are good to you. It is all I ever desire to be. If people were always kind and obedient to those who are cruel and unjust, the wicked people would have it all their own way: they would never feel afraid, and so they would never alter, but would grow worse and worse. When we are struck at without a reason, we should strike back again very hard。 I am sure we should—so hard as to teach the person who struck us never to do it again.”⑧ This is Jane Eyre with the spirit of rebellion. At this time she is much more mature in mind than before. Her principle of being a person is seeking freedom and equality, and protecting independence of human dignity. When Jane es to Thornfield, she does not feel inferior to those upperclass people, and is neither obsequious nor supercilious to face them. When her master Mr. Rochester asks her to speak something to make him happy, Jane refuses. In Jane?s eyes, she cannot be docile and obedient to him just because of his older age and nobl
