Dante Rossetti’s, Jenny: A Cautionary Tale of Sexual Knowledge and its Destruction of Women “The whole education of women ought to be relative to men. To please them, to be useful to them, to make themselves loved and honored by them” - John-Jacques Rousseau England in the 19th century was wrought with the battle for women’s rights, specifically the education of women. In his poem, Jenny, Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s narrator makes various references to books – those on his shelf, and how pressing a flower into a book can “crush the flower within the soul” (256). He appears to make a social commentary within his poem about the unknown thoughts of a common whore about the debate on women’s education. Rossetti uses the books to symbolize the idea that too much knowledge, in Jenny’s case carnal, can in fact restrict a woman from her true potential. He also alludes to other texts and examples of female purity and what is expected of a woman throughout the poem. In this paper, I will argue that Rossetti is cautioning women from pursuing a life of sexual and/or physical gratification. To provide some context, Rossetti himself was born in 1828 to parents who encouraged their four children to study and become learned human beings. His sister, Christina, was also a renowned poet and just as scholarly as he. Christina found some modicum of success as an illustrator, but as a woman, most of her artwork, according to Lorraine Kooistra, was “for private pleasure rather than public…

It was a frigid Halloween evening, and we were standing in line for the Ruby Falls Haunted Caverns. There were people standing in front of us, behind us, and beside us because of the way the line was setup. Most people stayed in their own groups, huddled together for warmth. The line was right beside the road/parking lot where cars kept searching for spots to park in. To the right of us was a rocky face leading to a dark, concealed forest. Hunter and I sat on a rock about halfway there. Hunter…
