"Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Bronte, a direct assault of Victorian morality.

In Jane Eyre, Charlotte Bronte portrays one woman's desperate struggle to attain her identity in the mist of temptation, isolation, and impossible odds. Although she processes a strong soul she must fight not only the forces of passion and reason within herself ,but other's wills constantly imposed on her. In its first publication, it outraged many for its realistic portrayal of life during that time. Ultimately, the controversy of Bronte's novel lied in its realism, …

…of accepting life's lot. By Jane refusing to be satisfied with her present, she has decided to follow the belief of making 'ourselves as happy as possible on earth. 'Her religion refutes this notion, by saying 'It is weak and silly to say you can not bear what is your fate to be required to bear.' But Jane is unable to place her trust in a 'God's love when he sends so much suffering.
