What is the genre of Jane Eyre?

  1. Thriller

  2. Romance

  3. Science Fiction

  4. Historical fiction

The correct answer is: Romance

Jane Eyre is a novel written in the 19th century, which eliminates the possibility of it being science fiction as a genre. It also does not fit the criteria of a thriller, as it is not centered around suspense or action. While it does contain some elements of historical fiction, such as the setting and societal norms, the main focus of the novel is the romantic relationship between Jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester. Therefore, B, romance, is the most fitting genre for this novel.
