    In Caroline Stone’s essay The Sheets are on Fire: An Exploration of Sexuality in Jane Eyre, Stone covers how Jane Eyre was an astonishing trailblazer when it was first published, creating a unique quasi-genre, and its underlying use of fire as a symbol for anything from the burning of Rochester’s bed to a burning in some characters loins. As shown throughout the book there is insane amounts of sexual and romantic tension between Jane and Mr. Rochester. One of the scenes in Jane Eyre where the tension is so thick you could nearly cut it with a knife comes after Jane saves Rochester from a fiery demise. ““What, are you quitting me already, and in that way?”…

    Gothic literature can be classified by various characteristics. These characteristics can show up alone in some works, but when they appear simultaneously, the work can be determined as gothic. “Jane Eyre” (I would just italicize instead of “ but you do you) fully exhibits these common gothic elements; however, another work that incorporates many of these elements is “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” Although at first glance, it appears to simply be a fairytale, upon deeper inspection, there are certain elements tied into the plotline that, I believe, classify it as a gothic tale. “Jane Eyre” is a classic example of gothic literature.…

    An awareness of mental illness or madness has been around for thousands of years and it can be traced back as far as 500 BCE. At that time it was believed that mental disorders had demonic or magical roots and were blamed on supernatural forces. This view was still thought to be true until the 1800.

    The book Jane Eyre was written by Charlotte Brontë in the 1800s. In literature this time was known as the Gothic Romance period. Many books written in this time included many elements that were related to the supernatural world. In the story Jane had many occurrences with unexplained events; Like the time Mrs. Reed locked her in the very mysterious Red Room as a child (Brontë 9). Jane had a quote in the chapter explaining, “I can now conjecture readily that this streak of light was, in all likelihood, a gleam from a lantern, carried by some one across the lawn: but then, prepared as my mind was for horror, shaken as my nerves were by agitation, I thought the swift-darting beam was a herald of some coming vision from another world” (Brontë…

    Consequently he changes the field of the discourse to his feeling of resistibility to assist her in gaining new employment “when a dependent does her duty as well as you have done yours, she has a sort of claim upon her employer for any little assistance he can conveniently render her” (221). Further Rochester also shows that he struggles to keep his affection for Jane in check and keep the discourse professional “my — that is, Miss Eyre” (220). It can perhaps be suggested that this reluctance of the speakers to fully show their emotional dependence on each other reflects the social context they are applicable to. Firstly, in Victorian society it is considered to be rash to be upfront about ones feelings. Secondly the difference between social standing between Rochester and Jane…

    An effective way that a novel becomes timeless is through the social change that the story may prompt. Once a book influences thought or action, its validity and relevance increases. During the Victorian Era in which Jane Eyre takes place, women were forced by society into becoming simplistic and conforming without rebellion. Instead of allowing individuality and expression, men tended to suppress the freedom and personalities of females. To this day still, the lack of female empowerment in a patriarchal society takes prevalence.…

    "Reader, I married him” (Bronte 517). These well known and short words are the first line we read in the closing chapter of Jane Eyre. As the reader we are addressed 37 times from the beginning of Chapter 11 to Chapter 38, Jane constantly addresses the reader to reassure us that she is not just blindly telling a story, but rather she is telling this story to a specific audience. As this story is about someone’s life, there is an essence of Jane telling us this story of her life in her old age, however, there is controversy around when and to whom she is telling this story to. Jane throughout the novel is confiding in the reader for why she made these decisions, which is why she is making an argument to the reader throughout the novel.…

    A Tragic Caricature of Women: Parallels Struck Concerning the Marginalization of Women in Jane Eyre and The Wife of Bath’s Prologue Scholars coined the term “protofeminist” to describe those who advocated for advancements in women’s rights before the existence of the feminist movement, leading to the definition of feminism to be moulded over time. There have been arguments in favour of the Wife of Bath — one of the protagonists in Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales — being one of the first feminist characters in literature as she breaks the mould of a typical feminine figure with her her unique insight and opinions. While the Wife of Bath herself believes she is empowering in her ideas and actions of pursuing a matriarchal society, she…

    Post-Text Questions: Narrative Voice: Narrative voice is the voice of the narrator of a work of literature. Narrative voice involves the manner in which the narrator speaks, the word choices the narrator chooses to employ, and the dialect of the narrator (“Point of View”).
