Overall it is the romantic elements that Bronte uses such as the power of emotions and moral conflicts that causes “Jane Eyre” to be classified as a romantic novel. They effect the path in which Jane takes and are crucial to the romantic plot of the story which makes the novel unique to others.

Lowood is the name which Bronte uses to represent Cowan Bridge in the life of the protagonist based on her own self, Jane. As suggested by the name and the analogy from her own life, Lowood was a school for the “low” and orphan girls. She found the conditions of the school very harsh.

In Jane Eyre, food symbolizes generosity, nourishment, and bounty, and hunger symbolizes cruelty and a lack of nourishment. Brontë uses food and hunger to reveal how people treat each other—who is charitable, and who isn’t. For instance, the lack of food at Lowood reveals the school’s cruelty and religious hypocrisy.

In order to create an extraordinarily intricate and well-devised plot, authors constantly gain influence from outside inspirations, as well as their own lives.

Jane Eyre is a Victorian novel heavily inspired by romanticism.

And based on this novel, the statements that best explain the motif of food are the first and the third statements. The theme that is being conveyed of “food” here suggest the excess surplus in the Lowood school as well as a symbol for nourishment.

In Jane Eyre, Charlotte Bronte employs birds a symbol in order to highlight important themes in her novel. While birds traditionally symbolize freedom and expression, Bronte uses them to show independence (or a lack of), freedom, and rifts in social class.

Fire is a frequent symbol in the novel that develops various meanings throughout. It represents passion, destruction, as well as comfort. Jane Eyre as a character is full of passions that she cannot always control and the fire helps represent this aspect of her identity.

This famous “stiller doom” passage is what is captured in what Rochester says to Jane. His simile, comparing her to a caged bird, recognises the way that at present, she is “caged” by her circumstances of life, and is unable to metaphorically spread her wings and fly, being the person she would like to be.

Fire symbolizes many things, including passion, desire, rebirth, resurrection, eternity, destruction, hope, hell and purification. These symbols have been used in literature, film and religious texts for millennia. Fire has been used by humans for over 400,000 years.

Chinese symbol: 火, fire.

Fire beats Wood, which makes sense. Air beats Fire, which also makes sense. Wood beats Water, which makes sense. Wood beats Air.

Five Elements Theory is a Chinese philosophy used to describe interactions and relationships between things. The five elements — wood, fire, earth, metal, and water — are believed to be the fundamental elements of everything in the universe between which interactions occur.

Everything in nature is made up of five basic elements: earth, water, fire, air, and space. Knowledge of the five elements allows the yogi to understand the laws of nature and to use yoga to attain greater health, power, knowledge, wisdom and happiness. This arises out of deep intuition of how the universe operates.

The word “Pancha Tattva” literally means five elements of life (‘Pancha’ meaning five and ‘Tattvas’ in meaning elements in Sanskrit)….These elements of tattvas are:

• Akash (Sky or Space)
• Vayu (Air)
