This article suggests that female artistry in Jane Eyre serves an integral purpose
in Jane’s individual psychic identity development and in her courtship
with Edward Rochester. It views Jane’s practice of and attitudes towards
artistry in light of various female models in the novel who are either artists
themselves or appreciators of art. Her art, either as storyteller or painter,
helps to serve her domestic artistry as she (re)imagines the domestic
life and landscape of Jane and Rochester
functions to promote a feminist agenda of gender equality in Charlotte
Brontë’s text.

From the first article in Avdanced Placement via Galileo...certainly would provide an interesting analytic tool to help you examine the protagonist of your novel! Sorry for any odd spacing errors here...cut and pasted from Galileo.
I have noticed the significance of art in various forms throughout the novel thus far.
