7. Focus on Setting
Jane Eyre makes particularly powerful and complex uses of setting, which it intertwines with plot, characterization, and, of course, symbolism and imagery.
The setting of the story is carefully divided into five distinct locales, each of which has its particular significance in Jane's history and each of which is like an act in a five-act drama. (R.B. Martin)
Each of these settings has its own characteristic tone
Setting also relates to characterization as well, since many of the novel's principal figures exist intimately related to the homes and landscapes in which we come upon them.
