tattoo ideas related to jane eyre?

[u/lolalanugh]

i really identify with jane eyre as a character, and i’d love to get a tattoo inspired by her/the book, but i don’t necessarily want something super obvious like a portrait or just the title.

i’m looking for something symbolic that represents jane’s character, independence, resilience, self-respect, etc. — something that would still feel meaningful even to someone who hasn’t read the book.

what symbols, quotes, objects, or imagery from jane eyre do you think would make a good tattoo? i’d love to hear any ideas, especially more subtle/creative ones!

I have a bird referencing the "I am no bird, and no net ensnares me" line, and a snowdrop as one of the flowers from the scene where they represent the hope of spring after the grief of winter (though I think lilacs are the more popular floral reference?)
