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...

easy thing. Your life is exposed to the public
eye, critics scorn your motives, and, far crueler,
AP English teachers force their students to write
a character analysis about every aspect of your
being. However, once in a blue moon, a hero
springs up that, strangely enough, is interesting

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

Rochester And Jane Jane Eyre

In Charlotte Bronte's novel Jane Eyre, there is a
slightly inconspicuous character that many readers
may choose to ignore. The character that I speak
of is Adele, the adorable French girl that Edward
Rochester has taken as his own. While many people
may undermine the importance of this character in
the novel, it is easy to see that she plays a
vital role in the coming together of Mr. Rochester
and Jane Eyre. Unlike many novels or stories,

Jane Eyre Charlotte Bronte

The use of elemental imagery in Jane Eyre,
revealed throughout the novel both literally and
metaphorically, is one of Charlotte Bronte s key
stylistic devices. The opposition of the two
elements, fire and water, highlights the need for
the characters to find equilibrium between the
two. Fire can describe passion and warmth, but it
can also burn. Water can describe coolness and
comfort, but it can also chill. Because of
Charlotte Bronte s use of elemental imagery in her
book, Jane Eyre, the reade...

Fire And Water Jane Eyre

In the novel Jane Eyre, Charlotte Bronte recounts
the story of Jane and her lovers, Mr. Rochester
and St. John Rivers. Critics such as Adrienne Rich
and Eric Solomon argue that Jane Eyre has to
choose between the temptation of following the
rule of passion by marrying Rochester, or of
living a life of complete renunciation of all
passions by marrying St. John Rivers. Fire and
water imagery symbolizes these two forces
competing for dominance in Jane Eyre, both on a
personal and metaphorical level...
