During the Victorian Era, Jane Eyre (1847), a celebrated novel by Charlotte Bronte, became extremely popular due to its depiction of the virtuous and spiritual maturation of an impregnable and independent female protagonist. Though this novel is known more for its use of autobiographical elements, the gothic elements play a pivotal and crucial role in Jane Eyre. It has a deal of gothic elements, like remote settings, spirits, ghosts, ominous and baleful secrets, mysteries to create suspense and terror, and supernatural encounters, which appear in every part of the novel. This paper focuses primarily on the demonstration of gothic elements in Jane Eyre’s progress and growth. We will observe that gothic elements have a greater role in the novel than just creating an atmosphere of mystery and horror. Jane’s inner passions and desire to connect with the reader in addition to helping in the growth of the character are being revealed by these elements.
