This study aims at showing the importance of nature and the surrounding society in Jane Eyre written by Charlotte Bronte. In this paper, there is an attempt to project the notion on “nature” as an element of presenting the social classes and genders that play a prominent role in setting the social standards and principles. The paper attempts to draw a connection between the society and the external environments and the description of the characters’ inner feelings which sets up the heroine’s consciousness at the center of the story. In order to study this, ecofeminism was referred to as the background theory and then the data were analyzed to show how the characters of Jane Eyre along with the settings represent a part of the environmental aspects. The results showed that during the main character’s contemplation regarding her surrounding environment present romanticized elucidations of social and natural aspects, her the ecological realization are presented within the lines to affect social classifications.
