A Review of the Relationship between Narrator and Reader in JANE EYRE

Charlotte Bronte’s novel JANE EYRE has come to occupy a position of privilege in the feminist canon since it has a special female voice. Meanwhile, the call on the ‘reader’ becomes one of the important features of the novel. The paper tries to analyze the relationship between the narrator and the reader depending on Michel Foucault’s theory about the confession.The work is a course of confession, which means the narrator gets identity by the act of confiding, while the reader gets power by the act of confiding.The work’s meaning comes from the mutual action between the narrator and the reader, which also shows Charlotte Bronte’s idea about narration.
