for its initiation or conclusion, but generally agreed to be around 1800s to 1830s. Therefore, Bronte, the author of Jane Eyre, she had romantic views even though her critically acclaimed book was published in 1847. Somewhere along the mid nineteenth to early twentieth centuries the Victorian era took place. This era contrasted sharply to the Romantic period. The main character of Jane Eyre struggles to fit in to her strongly Victorian adoptive family. Charlotte Bronte writes about a rebellious…

My favorite part of the movie was Jane and Rochester’s friendship, though anyone who read the book would know it was more than that. I liked when Blanche Ingram said, “a man should pay no heed to his looks,” and Rochester replied with “then a pirate would do for you.” It reminded me of in the novel when Mr. Brocklehurst asked what Jane must do to avoid Hell and she said “I must keep in good health and not die.” Furthermore, I liked when Mason had just been attacked by Bertha and the guests at…

“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife” (Austen 1). Pride and Prejudice written by Jane Austen and Much Ado About Nothing written by William Shakespeare have many common literary elements throughout the book. Such as the theme, the use of symbolism throughout the books, the similarities between the characters Elizabeth from Pride and Prejudice and Beatrice from Much Ado About Nothing, and conflict. One common…

Throughout the course of Introduction to Literature, I read many short stories, poems, and even dramas. However, for the purpose of this paper, I chose the short story “The Worn Path” by Eudora Welty and the poem “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost. Out of all the literature covered in class, these two pieces were the two I not only enjoyed the most but found myself relating to the most as well. The theme for “The Worn Path” is one that I developed being a mother for over 20 years, and the…

In Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre, Bronte portrays her theme of the importance of women's’ independence and gender equality by employing betrayal throughout her novel. In particular, Bronte portrays how betrayal propelled the character of Jane Eyre to attempt to find herself and how betrayal affected the character of Bertha Mason. Throughout most the novel, Jane never feels settled into where she stays. In the beginning, Jane feels tormented by her cousins and her aunt in Gateshead. When she…

Today’s interactive oral helped develop my understanding of the cultural and contextual considerations of the work by making me second guess my opinions on the titular character, Madame Emma Bovary. We discussed whether or not the issues in Emma Bovary's life are caused by herself, or whether or not they were caused by society. Before today, my opinion on Emma was that she was an incredibly unlikable character with a severe lack of redeeming qualities, but after our discussion it became…

Social prejudices such as these are displayed in Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë. This story follows…

I find that Austen’s prose is always providing a judgement of her, yet I wonder if that judgement reflects a lack of understanding on the author and protagonist themselves. Take the following lines for example: Her sister Mary, who having, in consequence of being the only plain one in the family, worked hard for knowledge and accomplishments, was always impatient for display (17). In this characterization, Mary comes off as both unattractive and…
