>When people talk about "woman" like this I take that to mean a very indivisible nature/spirit of "woman", same thing goes for when I hear "man", though the two are very different.
In this regard, I am absolutely a Platonist. There is Man and Woman, and then there are men and women. Some come closer to the ideal than others. Not that that's a good or a bad thing.
Unfortunately, I have not read Bronte so I cannot comment on this. One of my friends has, but he is asleep right now, so I can't consult him either.
