This paper explores the inner behavior and social psychological transformation of Charlotte and Anne Brontë's heroines, situating them within the broader context of nineteenth-century British society and the global cultural framework. While much of the existing scholarship focuses on the immediate Victorian setting and the internal struggles of Brontës’ characters, this study addresses a significant gap in the literature by connecting these narratives to more social and global themes. Through an in-depth qualitative analysis of Brontës’ major works, such as Villette, Jane Eyre and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, this paper investigates how the experiences of Brontës’ heroines—characterized by their defiance of social norms and struggles for self-autonomy are shaped by the larger cultural forces of the time. Employing an interdisciplinary approach that combines literary criticism, social history, and cultural studies, the study shows how Brontës’ works are still relevant today and also it enhances our knowledge of their works. The study argues that despite having strong historical roots, Brontës’ heroines provide insightful perspectives on global human experience that go beyond historical context to address contemporary issues.
