Correct answer: B. Like "Dover Beach," Jane Eyre mourns the diminishing power of Christian faith.

- B. Like "Dover Beach," Jane Eyre mourns the diminishing power of Christian faith.
- C. Through Rochester, Jane Eyre develops a Byronic hero.
- D. Like Great Expectations, Jane Eyre can be read as a bildungsroman.
