*The book is supposed to be supporting feminism, yet Jane never really does anything for herself, [[spoiler: except for running away from Thornfield, and even that only worked because [[DeusExMachina she ended up at her long lost cousins\\\' house.]]]] Everything that makes her \\\"special\\\" just kind of falls into her lap without any effort on her part. Plus, [[spoiler: She could only live happily ever after by marrying the guy that lied about already being married.]] Feminists are usually against the stereotypes that women can\\\'t do anything for themselves or [[spoiler: can\\\'t be happy unless they have a man. Especially when it\\\'s a cheating man.]]

Not only does this smack of Complaining About Books You Don\\\'t Like, but it\\\'s unfair to Jane, who does plenty that\\\'s progressive, especially for her time, and it\\\'s imposing a 21st century definition of a Strong Female Heroine on a 19th century work.
