To mature, you need to find the ability to discover the pros and cons of life's decisions. Charlotte Brontë's novel Jane Eyre tells the story of the life of a young orphan, Jane Eyre. Jane is a girl who continually faces various difficulties while growing up, other than her experiences with her malevolent aunt, Mrs. Reed, Mr. Rochester, and St. John. Through hardships, Jane wants to become more mature after every struggle in her life. However, with a weak spirit and little resolve, Jane endures vicious attacks on her confidence and determination. With nothing to do, Jane can only learn to accept the assumption that she is just a simple peasant under the control of "the higher ups." Despite the constant barrage of mortifying words, Jane finds a way to arouse herself so she can discover her inner rebel and develop as a woman. Through descriptions of Jane Eyre's actions, characterizations and words, Bronte demonstrates that to evolve mentally and physically into a woman, it is necessary to learn to understand the three parts of the psychic apparatus, the Id, the Ego and the Superego . The story of Jane's miserable life begins with false accusations from Mrs. Reed and punishment from Mrs. Reed herself, where Jane first suffers from inhibition before discovering her first psychic state and that her dependence on Mrs. Reed can be broken . Mrs. Reed punishes Jane by sending her to the “red room” after Jane's unfortunate fight with John, Mrs. Reed's son. Bronte reiterates Jane's pain to emphasize the process of evolving as a child by creating Jane's first line. This frontier is known as the Id, a psychic force defined as a way of trying to avoid pain, without considering the consequences, aroused by the increase in instinctual tension. Bronte provides a... middle of paper......wild, loud voice... I'm not your darling; I cannot lie down: send me to school soon, Mrs. Reed, for I hate living here... I stood there alone, victor of the field... Something of revenge I had tasted for the first time; as an aromatic wine it seemed to me, when swallowed, warm and stringy: its aftertaste, metallic and corrosive, gave me the sensation of having been poisoned... but I knew, partly from experience and partly by instinct, that that was the way to make him repel me with double contempt, thus re-exciting every turbulent impulse of my nature” (Bronte 39)Jane's confrontation ignited Bronte's profound idea of maturity through the three psychic systems. As Jane begins to develop her Ego, she discovers the consequences of rebelling against Mrs. Reed. This phase pushed Jane to develop her mind to listen to reason, reflect on her actions, and understand her position.
