    In looking at this question, it is my opinion that it is arousing a discussion of the self-denial that religion imposes and also the conflict it imposes on the self. For this I will primarily be looking at Charlotte Bronte’s ‘Jane Eyre’ and the poetry of John Donne. The progression of Jane Eyre’s life is shown by a variety of links to religion due to the many changes in her way of life. Bronte shows
