Among them Charlotte Bronte (1816-1855), was not belong to the highest class of the English novelists; but she certainly occupies a high rank among them by writing only for novels: “Jane Eyre” (1847), “Shirley” (1847), “Villette” (1853) and “The Professor” published posthumously in 1857. All these novels show ample evidence of her skill as a storyteller and as a delineator of human character by fulfilling the most important features of writing a novel. All her novels, Jane Eyre” in particular deals with sympathy, pity, compassion, fear, and terror with the required amount of wit and humor to amuse the reader. Her passion and mastery of writing fiction can be seen in her creation of suspense at various points of narrative in order to arouse curiosity and eagerness to the reader's conscience to know the next event of the story. Moreover, her gratitude towards the whole female fraternity is presented through her novels with female protagonists, also known as “SHERO” and passion of love expressed throughout the novel by love, separation, and reunion of the heroine.
