What are some themes in the novel Jane Eyre besides love and isolation?

The differences in social class during the Victorian period could be a theme. (Look how Jane is treated by Mr. Rochester's guests; look at the differences between Jane and Grace Poole. The distinctions are vast.)





Being true to yourself could also be a theme. In other words, Jane Eyre yearns for love and a place to belong, but will never deny her own principles and convictions to get either.





Another thing that could be said is that it was a man's world. Jane struggles for independence and equality in an age where women had very few opportunities and men controlled everything. I'm not quite sure what you would call that theme...because it's not necessarily a feminist theme (though some elements are there, I don't believe Charlotte Bronte to have actually been a feminist but perhaps a forerunner?)... perhaps, the search for independence in a world of little opportunities and the relationship between men and women.What are some themes in the novel Jane Eyre besides love and isolation?
off the top of my head:


Women's role and education


suppression/expression


the supernatural


nature - how it affects people and how people relate to it. Includes the ';naturalness'; (or not) of many contemporary assumptions about family, social class and gender roles.What are some themes in the novel Jane Eyre besides love and isolation?
