Jane Eyre - Themes Overview
Themes are ideas that run all the way through a literary text. They are great to explore because you can analyse the writer's intentions: what have they done? Why? What are they trying to make the reader think and feel? This allows your analysis to be extended and developed, allowing you to write comprehensively about a literary text.
