What are the stylistic peculiarities of Charlotte Bronte's individual style?

In order to answer to this question I focused on “Jane
Eyre”:

To begin with we have to consider the genre of the
novel,bildungsroman, which is a German word to indicate an account of the youthful
development of a hero or heroine.

Then, in order to define
the style of a literary work one has to refer to diction, sentence structure and
imagery. In this case, the language used by Charlotte Bronte is worked up and refined.
We see that compound-complex sentences are preferred to simple and short sentences. They
are linked with colons or coordinated conjunctions, showing balance, like in the
following example:

"I never liked long walks, especially on chilly
afternoons: dreadful to me was the coming home in the raw twilight, with nipped fingers
and toes, and a heart saddened by the chidings of Bessie, the nurse, and humbled by the
consciousness of my physical inferiority to Eliza, John, and Georgiana Reed"
.

Charlotte Bronte’s prose is
rich in Symbolism and Imagery. In Jane Eyre, she has used many elements from nature to
suggest the characters’ state of mind. Here we can talk about "Pathetic Fallacy", in
which the inanimate is personified to emphasize the feelings of the characters, as we
see in:

"There was no possibility of taking a walk that
day.  We had been wandering, indeed, in the leafless shrubbery an hour in the
morning;
but since dinner (Mrs. Reed, when there was no company, dined early)
the cold winter wind had brought with it clouds so sombre, and a rain so penetrating,
that further out-door exercise was now out of the
question."

Here, the
adjectives "sombre" and "penetrating" are human attributes. However, they reflect the
feeling of isolation and loneliness the child Jane experiments. Other relevant symbols
throughout the novel are the moon, the landscape, and the element fire. Thus, we can
speak about the so-called “word painting” technique, in which the detailed description
of elements of nature relates to pivotal moments in the
plot.

In order to analyse CB’s style is equally important
to consider the idea of Narrative Situation, which refers to two essential questions we
normally ask when reading novels: who tells the story and who sees what's happening in
the story? The answer to the first question is obviously Jane, who is also the
narrator-in this case we have a first- person narrative. Furthermore, we have to
consider that the narrator voice, Jane, has a distinctive personality and explicitly
emits her opinions and judgements. In order to refer to the second question we may think
about perspective or focalization-in this case, we tend to perceive things from Jane's
perspective, and then we can say that the narrator is limited- the focus of perception
is of a character in the story. 
 
Lastly, because "Jane Eyre" 
contains an element of the supernatural-e.g., desolate landscapes, dark corridors,
Byronic hero- we may also relate the novel to the Gothic
tradition.
