Three varying authors from the 1800-time period write entirely diverse novels, with two of the authors even sisters. Jane Austen’s “Emma”, Charlotte Bronte’s “Jane Eyre”, and Emily Bronte’s “Wuthering Heights” have varying characters and contrasting conflicts; yet, there are many similarities among the chapter one novels. Every novel has characters, relationships, and conflicts that entice the reader to keep turning the page. This is best acquired by presenting major character conflicting relationships in the first chapter. Jane Austen’s novel theme is love that many relate to on many levels, Charlotte Bronte’s novel centers around a child’s abusive point of view, and Emily Bronte’s eerily produces an awkward relationship between landlord and

Chapter one of “Jane Eyre” captures you with the precisely detailed images of what Jane is witnessing and remembering when a “cold winter wind had brought with it clouds so somber, and a rain so penetrating, that further out-door exercise was now out of the question” (Bronte 372). This cold winter day keeps the children indoors and leads to the first conflicting issue Jane endures. Although Jane lives with some of her family members, she is an orphan and stays with her aunt, Mrs. Reed (Bronte). The sympathy for Jane comes from the way that she is treated by John Reed, her cousin who mistreats and abuses her. Not as many readers can relate to this situation, but most would feel compassionate that a child should not be treated in such a manner. Nearing the end of chapter one Jane has a book “flung, it hit me, and I fell, striking my head against the door and cutting it” (Bronte 375) that leaves the reader with a broken heart and a hatred for John that threw the book. This conflicting relationship with the main character Jane and John keeps your interest with the last cliff hanger as Mrs. Reed says “Take her away to the red-room, and lock her in there” (Bronte …show more content…
There are not as many characters in the first chapter in comparison to “Jane Eyre” and “Emma”; however, the conflicting character relationship is much more apparent. Mr. Lockwood the new tenant is striving for a positive relationship with his new landlord, Mr. Heathcliff. The peculiar disposition of Mr. Heathcliff keeps the readers curious with anticipation, as he pushes his company away and appears closed off during Mr. Lockwood’s visit, he even admits “guests are so exceedingly rare in this house that I and my dogs, I am willing to own, hardly know how to receive them” (Bronte 371). Indeed, readers can be interested with curiosity as to why Mr. Lockwood is trying so desperately to befriend his reclusive landlord, but all of this conflict is thus far revolving around a complicated relationship. Even after having a pack of wild tempered dogs attacked Mr. Lockwood, he still wants to take up with Mr. Heathcliff (Bronte). Granted, Mr. Heathcliff’s attitude changed slightly after the dog attack and makes the relationship even more curious by striking up a conversation about what he believes Mr. Lockwood would want to speak of “a discourse on the advantages and disadvantages of my present place of retirement” (Bronte 371). Seeing Mr. Heathcliff’s perspective alter, makes one even more concerned about the relationship between the two men
