I want to ask everyone one question about Jane Eyre.
Actually, I haven't complete the book yet, and also I didn't read all the academic paper that you mentioned here.
However, I actually don't know which part of story people found some similarities between Jane Eyre and Beauty and the Beast.
I talked with my group member last week, but I haven't found it clear for me.
Also I want anyone to share what he or she thinks toward this.
I am sorry for bothering you to ask such a question here, and I know it's not kind of suitable to ask this here on this blog, because this is the blog for sharing interesting papers, and what we have learnt from the lessons.
I would like anyone to answer this for me, thanks.

I'm sorry if I gave the impression that the blog was only for sharing interesting papers or what students have learned in the lessons. The blog is for everything!! Whatever you want to say here it's fine; there are no limits!
Anyway, I'm not sure if someone posted this link before, but here is a link you may find useful:

Also, I found this paper focusing not on similarities but on differences quite interesting( it has the short and clear abstract).

Jane is definitely not "belle"(beautiful) unlike Belle, and this paper tells that Brontë intentionally did make her so.
That's a very good point, Allie. Bronte intentionally intends Jane to be plain and Rochester not to be handsome. She is consciously going against the trend in the romantic fiction of her day (and even now).
