Autonomy In Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre
Love comes along with many emotions related to a sense of strong affection and attachment. Love is an emotional need that even Jane, from Charlotte Bronte’s book Jane Eyre, can’t ignore. Throughout the story line, Jane is searching to find love. She was looking, not just for the love of a man, but for the love of a family but Jane’s search for love sometimes ends up challenging her independence. Jane’s independence is related to autonomy which is seen throughout the story and is often used as the center for determining moral responsibility for one’s actions.

O Russel, with Jennifer Lawrence, Robert DiNiro, and Bradly Cooper, came to mind when I read Jane Eyre because of the obstacles that Jane went through were similar in a way to what Joy Mangano went through.

Even though Joy has her grandmother she feels that lack of everyday support. The lack of support has led her to others making fortunes on ideas she had already come up with years ago but could not pursue manufacturing because of her less abled life. Joy doesn’t really have any money so everyone has turned their back to her, and she could not move forward in her own life.

She works in an unsatisfying job as an Eastern Airlines ticket clerk, and lives with her mother Terry and her ex-husband Tony lives in the basement because he can’t afford to buy a place, and their two children. Then there is her father Rudy, who is the owner of a failing heavy-duty garage, which is managed by Joy's older half-sister Peggy, with who she has somewhat of a strained relationship with. Joy begins to feel buried by her life, in the process her childhood dreams of making things apparently are getting farther and farther away. Joy then decides to make some changes in her life, and expects the reluctant practical support of her family. Those changes include manufacturing a new product of her design, which she chooses this time around being a self-wringing mop. Joy needs a quick, easy way to advertise her product, and is able to meet with QVC executive Neil Walker. Neil tells Joy to manufacture 50,000 mops. The first commercial fails. This relates to an obstacle that Joy went through, just when Joy thought her life was getting back on track and she was finally doing what she has always wanted, she
