Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë is a Victorian novel set in the early 19th century in northern England. In the novel, the heroine, Jane, references her betrothed as the master of a harem and herself as a slave. The same analogy is used in an essay from 2001, “Scheherazade Goes West” by Fetma Mernissi regarding the clothing of modern Western culture.

Jane Eyre has a suggestive name. Eyre might refer to “heir” but she is the heir of nothing, at least in the beginning of the novel; it also may suggest “ire” that Jane has inside her. The novel has an angry tone to it, almost as if Brontë had realized the roles and circumstances of women around her and depicted it in Jane Eyre: imprisonment, orphan, starvation, anger turned to madness. According to Elizabeth Rigby, Jane Eyre revolves around the personification of an unregenerate and…

Jane’s experience with oppression starts at a young age. While living in Gateshead with Mrs. Reed and Mr. John, she faces criticism and is seen as inferior even to her adoptive sister Georgianna, who is around the same age. While at school in Lowood she was taught to take heavy criticism from teachers and other authority figures she interacted with. “...I am, as Miss Scatcherd said, slatternly, I seldom put, and never keep, things in order; I am careless; I forget rules; I read when I should…

OTHER SECTION It is clear that Gaye’s composition on paper is protected, but it is also clear that the style Gaye’s composition reflects is an idea that is not protected, pursuant to section 102 (b). Copyright Act of 1976, 17 U.S.C. §§ 102(b) (2012).

life anymore. Edna’s awakening gives her courage to bring changes where she feels is necessary. The author is able to create targeted connections in order to effectively bring out Edna’s desires and plans. Edna’s relationship with her close friend Adele Ratingnolle teaches her to be self-dependent and freedom of expression. “Edna had once told Madame Ratignolle that she would never sacrifice herself for her children, or for anyone…” (Chopin 585). This was an exposure different from the normal…

In Charlotte Bronte’s, Jane Eyre, her unexamined, culturally conditioned definitions of ‘success’ and ‘happiness’; shape the narrative through their contradicting definitions. According to Bronte, women have the same capacity for success and Independence as men. However, her subconscious cultural belief that a woman’s success is to be married is a contradiction of her first definition of success. This results in a struggle between these two beliefs in Jane Eyre. Furthermore, the culture…

Creon’s Musical Memoir Song 1: “I’m the Man” - Aloe Blacc “It's time to do what must be done be a king when kingdom comes…” “Go ahead and tell everybody, I'm the man…” These lines from Aloe Blacc’s, “I’m the Man” remind of Creon in many ways.

Another reason it reminds me of him is also the cocky attitude he has because he wants everyone to know who’s in charge. When it says, “ It’s…

women didn’t benefit from the reforms being passed as they were still just expected to keep their husbands happy when they came home from the work force and to put others before themselves. In The Awakening most women act very similarly, such as Adele Ratignolle. This section focuses on the improvements of the working class during the era, which is an interesting evolution to see, but one must understand that not everyone was a beneficiary of these reforms, though women did begin to win battles…

to think for herself and also express herself in the different ways that she knows how. Particularly, Edna begins to self-express thorough new languages, art, music, and love.

Edna dared to venture into her own emotions and intelligence like Immanuel Kant discussed, and she used her own mind to begin to think for herself…
