The study used and analyzed Charlotte Brontë‘s novels namely; Shirley, Villette, and The Professor. This study identified and analyzed the major women characters in Charlotte Brontë‘s novels. It also studied how the characters reflected the life and times of the author. Using the Formalistic and the Biographical Approaches, the researcher came to the results: that women characters like Frances and Lucy belonged to the working class, and they later develop their status through their own effort to middle class
but Shirley belonged to the upper class; that their roles were an heiress, a lady of the manor, a lady-companion, a nursery governess, a teacher, a governess-pupil, a wife, a mother, and a irectress; and that through these roles they possessed character traits such as independent, compassionate, and helpful. This study came to the conclusions: that women statuses are derived from their roles in the society; that women character traits are derived from their status and roles; and that the portrayal and representation of Brontë‘s women characters
reflect her own time and life experiences.
