In the novel Jane Eyre, the main character Jane, develops disagreements with other
             characters. As the novel proceeds, different types of friction arise. Charlotte Bronte uses these
             several types of conflicts in Jane's life-man versus man, man versus nature, and man versus
             society, to develop and strengthen Jane's character.
             Jane deals with man versus man throughout the novel which contributes to the

             react to others. Helen believes, "It is far better to endure patiently, than to commit a hasty
             action," while Jane believes the opposite. Because Jane is locked in the red-room for so long,
             she is able to finally speak her mind since for so long her opinions didn't matter. In Jane's
             attempts to marry Mr. Rochester, ladies often stand in the way. At first Jane thinks that Mr.
             Rochester wants to marry Blanche Ingram; and then she can not marry him because he has a
