keynote in her thinking about her own life and the
life of all unmarried women (Ewbank 157). One such
work is Jane Erye. In this novel Charlotte Bronte

that took over 600, 000 lives. It was the only war
fought on American soil by Americans, and for that
reason the Civil War has always of interest.

Characters In The Story Social Darwinism

Octopus, wrote angrily of the injustices and
poverty to be found in America, readers turned
away. The Octopus made them change their minds.

there is no easy way out. Arjuna's dilemma is that
