Since the publication of Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre in 1847, numerous scholars and researchers have examined the novel's themes of independence, self-respect, gender equality, morality, and religion. Nevertheless, the moors, a crucial setting in Jane Eyre, have been widely neglected in the novel's critical analysis. The moorland scene is a liminal and transformative setting in literature. When Jane escapes Thornfield to maintain her moral purity from the attempted bigamy of her love interest, Mr. Rochester, it is in the moors that she finds herself drifting aimlessly.
