This romantic ground had previously been reserved for males. Such a psychologically complex heroine had never been created before. Jane is constantly in a search for love. She is searches for romantic love in Rochester, motherly love through Miss Temple and Mrs. Fairfax, and friendship through the Rivers siblings, Helen Burns, and Rochester.
