in knowledge. He had a great interest in discovering and learning new things, new things that even the all-knowing Scholars didn’t know about. He thirsted to know the secrets of the world. He came to the point that he would do anything for his discoveries. I think that Equality’s motivation was good in a way that he was so eager to learn more that it motivated him to do so. But also his obsession was on the borderline of excessive. He was breaking rules and didn’t care, all he could focus on was…

artifact form the Unmentionable Times and those " 'are damned who touch the things of the Unmentionable Times" '(33). He risks severe punishment but does it so he can explore what he does not understand, ultimately leading to his own scientific discoveries.

rookery is empty as Jane passes it, which shows that Jane is no longer a baby bird, but has learned to fly on her own. There are crows overhead as she sneaks up to Thornfield (489). They normally foreshadow death or the discovery of a death, but here they can be interpreted as the discovery of the passing of the old Jane. Her initial reaction to the remnants is empty imagery.

Discoveries can be either sought or serendipitous but ultimately they are concerned with the acquisition of a broadened understanding, the development of values and changing of perspectives.

We see in these texts that discovery can only take place when our context challenges us, whether it is a change in context or the confronting nature of…

play of this class, analyzed the play and with same introspection develop questions. Brought up questions on philosophy versus love, or question about the connection between love and discovery. But, a constant thought that keeps coming through my mind with the idea of the concept of the effect of society on discovery. Then I considered that maybe because Emilia was a woman and outside of the norm of science, she comes up with her ideas. That's by teaching herself and not being as entrench in…
