       Cultural aggression is one of the ways that imperialistic countries conquer the colonies, as the production of the culture; Jane Eyre includes many factors of the imperialism. In the middle of 19th century, Britain began to expand to the outside rapidly, most of the British people revel in the dream of the White Myth. As one of the represents of ideological novel, Jane Eyre was inevitable to advance to the cultural empire, and Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre is one of the most important loops in the narration. In the novel, the antagonism between suzerain and colonies, the superiority of the empire and discrimination to the colonies permeated through it. The imperialistic flavour pervaded in it. From Victoria times on, Britain began to develop colonization. At the same time, the cultural source of ideology played an important part. Jane Eyre includes the recessive structure of the imperialistic consciousness, exhibits all kinds of cultural characters in the period of the imperialism, and reveals the connection between the culture and imperialism.

摘　  要

文化战略是帝国主义国家控制殖民地的一种方式，作为文化的产物，<<简.爱>>包含了帝国主义的各种因素。19世纪中期的英国，以前所未有的速度向外扩张，人们普遍沉醉于白色神话的迷梦中，而作为意识形态表现之一的小说也在向文化帝国迈进。夏绿蒂.勃朗特的<<简.爱>>是其叙事链中举足轻重的一环。在这部小说里，宗主国与殖民地的对立，帝国的优越感和对殖民地的歧视都渗透其中，弥漫着十足的帝国主义味道。英国自维多利亚时代开始，就不断发展对外殖民事业。其中，作为意识形态的文化资源也起了举足轻重的作用。<<简.爱>>这部小说中也有着帝国主义意识的隐性结构，隐性话语，展示了帝国主义时代的种种文化上的特点，显示了文化和帝国主义之间的联系。
