The Gothic is a major theme in Jane Eyre, with supernatural elements like ghosts used to make Jane stand out. Architecture and a sense of the past are also Gothic features. Nature is used throughout with pathetic fallacy to reflect themes and foreshadow events. Religion plays a big role, with Mr. Brocklehurst and St. John portrayed negatively, while Helen and Jane embody more positive aspects.
