I think that the forces motivating Jane is the fact that she had an evil aunt and was sent off to school. Everyone treated her like she was not good enough, so she tried her hardest to prove that she was good enough.
Jane's behaviors she has that are conscious are independence and headstrong. She always thinks that she has to do things on her own and she has to be strong.
One huge behavior Jane has that is unconscious is love. She unwillingly falls in love with Rochester. She can not help it and she does not think about it.
The unconscious conflicts between Jane and Rochester is falling in love. Jane did not want to fall in love with him and Rochester was already married, so that is a conflict.
Jane's behavior is very plausible. This is because of her background. She was taken care of by her cruel aunt, and she was also sent off to school so she was miserable. That forced her to be headstrong.
The only character that is a recognizable psychological type is Rochester's wife Bertha. She is crazy, but it never states what disease she may have.
A psychological approach would account for different reactions in male and female readers because they behave and think differently.
The work reflects that the author might have had a rough childhood and that forced her to be headstrong.
Jane's behavior reveals that she has a strong psychological state.
The work reflects the author's unconscious dimensions of their mind because she probably was not thinking when she wrote about being strong or falling in love.
If the reader had a tough childhood then they could relate to the story or if they fell in love with someone they did not think they should.
That is the type of approach I would have used if I wrote the story Jane Eyre, and a few follow up questions.
