Jane Eyre-Gothic Novel

So, we just learned that Jane Eyre is a gothic novel because the elements that make one are portrayed. Jane is the lonely protagonist, Bertha is the villain, Thornefield is an example of gothic architecture, and the supernatural events that occurred all create the gothic novel. Jane is the lonely protagonist because we are told that she is an orphan but she is able to overcome that and many other challenges that come her way. Bertha is seen as the villain because of the way that she makes Mr. Rochester's life horrible, basically making it impossible for him to marry Jane since he is practically married to her, and she nearly  kills him when she burns down Thornefield causing him to lose a hand and become blind. Thornefield represents gothic architecture from the way it is described to us by Charlotte Bronte as a tall castle like edifice. And the several supernatural events that occur such as when Jane encounters a specter of what she believes is her uncle when she is locked in the "red room",and when Mr. Rochester and Jane somehow hear each other towards the end of the novel. There is know way that i would have believed this novel to be a gothic novel, but reading about the elements that create a gothic novel give me a clear perspective that it definitely is.
