Definition: The term "Jane Ashley" has a specific meaning in English, likely originating from the literary character Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. In contemporary literature (i.e., after World War II), "Jane Ashley" refers to Jane Eyre's love interest and romantic companion. The novel is set in a fictional world known as Thornfield Hall, where Jane is employed at her brother-in-law's house. The phrase "Jane Ashley" may be used metaphorically or literally to refer to the character who has a profound effect on Jane. In terms of its literal meaning, "Jane Ashley" refers to an English lady, most likely a middle-aged woman, who appears in the novel and is described as having a keen wit, charm, and intelligence. The term was likely coined by readers or writers seeking to capture the character's unique quality of wit and grace. In more recent literary works, the "Jane Ashley" could also refer to Jane Eyre's cousin, Charlotte Bronte herself (though this reference might be less common as it is a literary figure rather than a real person), who was introduced by Jane in the novel.
