In the Victorian era, women were seen as the opposite of what a man should be. In the words of John Stuart Mill, who published a critique of the way society differentiated men from women: "The female sex was brought up to believe that its 'ideal of character' was quite opposed to that of the men, “personal non-will”. , and government by self-control, but submission and submission to the control of others” to live for others; make a complete abnegation of themselves and have life only in their affections. » (171) Basically, women were supposed to be gentle, docile and a perfect companion to man. women began to change, at least in the minds of some. Women began to infiltrate the industrial world. One field increasingly dominated by women in the Victorian era was the world of writing. Many women's works have been published in this century, although only a small number have been "canonized" or truly recognized as literature. The four most popular are undoubtedly the three Brontë sisters and George Eliot. These authors were perhaps popular because of their subject matter, or perhaps because their works were analyzed and criticized from the beginning, while no attention was paid to the rest. These notable authors mentioned above often wrote about women in their traditional style, but also not. traditional Victorian roles. Charlotte Brontë, for example, reflected the gentle and appropriate behavior of Jane Eyre, not just with Jane herself. Jane was the very contradiction of Mr. Rochester. Even when he is at his worst, during the last chapters, Jane takes it upon herself to take care of him without thinking of herself, and to be his traditional...... middle of paper ...... c This is her role as the real Victorian woman despite the presence of Heathcliff. The role of women in the Victorian era was very varied. The "woman question" is a frequently asked question, which essentially asked, "What was a 'real' woman supposed to look like anyway?" Emily Brontë was not a “normal” woman either. Her characters are incredibly deep and powerful, she reflects them as very wild, independent and socially "different" from what was considered "appropriate" at the time. His works are also much more vibrant than most from this period. As for me, I think a woman's decorum depends entirely on her, her circumstances, her background, and those with whom she associates. And truly, there is nothing wrong with a woman if she does not live up to what was socially considered normal for a Victorian woman. After all, what is really normal??
