Jane Eyre's Relationship with Rochester: Freud's Unconscious

Number of Pages 14

14 pages in length. Bronte's Jane Eyre is replete with Freudian undertones where Jane and Rochester's relationship is concerned, most notably where the imbalance of rank is concerned. The master/slave, father/daughter composition of their union is both grand and far-reaching; that Rochester assumes the decidedly superior and patriarchal role over the subservient status Jane feels compelled to adopt speaks clearly to Freud's psychoanalytic composition of unconscious, repression and the Oedipal complex. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
