"the problem with fairy tales is that they set a girl up for disappointment"

Jane Eyre is a lot like lots of different heroines. Jane Eyre is Similar to Rapunzel in the way she was trapped in the red room, and how Rapunzel was stuck at the top of the castle, but besides that they have nothing in common. Jane Eyre is most like Cinderella. Cinderella, is mistreated by her step-mom/ step-siblings, in Jane's case that would be her Aunt/ cousins  and her teachers/ classes. In Cinderella, the step-sisters are ugly, and Cinderella is pretty, in Jane Eyre's case at school they make everyone have very short hair that isn't related to the headmaster. So they are attempting to ugly down Jane and all the other students looks. Mrs. Fairfax would be considered the fairy godmother in the story, because she is so caring. Rochester is described as not very attractive, violent, but he is good to his workers. in fairy tales all of the guys are marvelous looking, violence doesn't exsist and Cinderella dates a prince.  I personally am creeped out by the description of Rochester.
