Charlotte Perkins Gilman Short Story Criticism
1,624 words
There are many opposing opinions on the identity
of Jane in Charlotte Perkins Gilman's short story,
The Yellow Wallpaper. The narrator of the story is
never referred to by name throughout the entire
work, however a questionable statement made by the
narrator at the end of the story leads many to
believe her name is Jane. Because the story does
not specifically profess the narrator to be Jane,
controversy has risen about Janes identity. There
are many reasons to believe the narrator to be
Jane an...

Jane Austen Sister Cassandra
833 words
It is wrong to conclude that Jane Austen lived
during an uneventful period in history. Her short
life took place in the reign of George III and had
several important events and changes as its
background (Sherry 10) She is known for her witty
and penetrating portrayals of provincial society
(Austen). It is possible to understand, or
misunderstand Jane Austen's works, for her art is
such that one can only read on the surface and
miss much of what exists underneath (Sherry 10).

Jane And Mr Thornfield Hall
1,134 words
I read the book Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. I
personally didnt find this book interesting or
appealing in any way. If I read for pleasure,
which I dont, this would not be the type of book
that I would choose to read. I prefer murder
mysteries and books that I can relate to more. I
found this book very depressing, not that murders
are happy, and I also thought that this book
brought out a lot of bad things that happen to
people in this world and the struggles they have
to overcome. Another rea...

Jane Eyre Miss Temple

Although feminism seems to the modern reader a
phenomenon of the 20 th century with the
suffragettes of the 20 s and the womens liberation
movement of the 60 s and 70 s, it has always
existed. It was not always called feminism, nor
did believers in equality always have a refuge
with like-thinkers. In Charlotte romance novel,
Jane Eyre, the protagonist, Jane, had a definite
feminist bent. In 1800 s, behavior followed such
straight-laced regulated standards that most
modern women would be consider...

rights with men in every aspect of social life.

Faith In God Period Of Time
593 words
Charlotte Bront? uses several different symbols to
foretell events that occur in Jane Eyre. For
example, Bront? uses birds to represent freedom,
for which Jane longs and finally finds by the end
of the novel. Fire is another symbol used by
Bront? : When Bertha sets Rochester's bed on fire,
The image of fire might symbolize signifying first
sinfulness, then rebirth (Vaughan). The symbolism
most fascinating, however, is the way in which
Bront? uses religion throughout the novel. Indeed,
Janes worl...

Lowood Institution Thornfield Hall

The role nature played in Jane Eyre's life
parallels itself in many peoples lives. I cannot
count the many instances that I was having a
terrible day and the weather outside was
absolutely dreary. Often, days began as sunny but
turned cloudy and my mood coincided along with it.
Nature constantly spoke to Jane; it reaffirmed
thoughts and feelings for Jane and it also gave an
insight to the reader about characters. As a
little girl, Jane was treated harshly. Mrs. Reed
cared little for Jane and thi...

Jane Eyre Gothic Horror
513 words
Jane Eyre is one of the most complex novels of the
mid-nineteenth century, offering more than
progressive political content and trenchant social
observation. Modern readings of Jane Eyre,
however, tend to focus on these aspects, often to
the neglect of the novels many other excellent
qualities. Jane Eyre's most striking feature is
its heroine, who narrates the book approximately
ten years after the events of the story take
place. (In fact, the first edition of Jane Eyre
claimed to be an autobiog...

Decision To Leave Feminist Readings Jane
615 words
When analyzing the feminist readings of Jane Eyre,
it is obviously of key import that one looks at
Jane herself. Is she portrayed as a feminist icon,
or does she become a form of anti-heroine?
Throughout the novel we need to look at whether
she express true independence of will, and
therefore display a feminine power, or does she
allow herself to be overpowered by her desire to
love and be loved and therefore become conformist
and submissive? I propose that Janes character
develops over the cour...
