Mr. Brocklehurst is a major visual presentation of
herself. She had a superior position on the stool
and all the "ladies" underneath her looked
ridiculous. Berg commented that Jane's bird eye
view alters her perspective psychologically and
she surprises herself by being so self-controlled.

machines, games, war, and physical forces"
(Lakoff, 415). Here are some culture-specific
examples from Morrison's poetry: "For seve...

Naturalism is frequently cited as one of the
dominant literary movements of 19 th century
America. Naturalism aimed at a detached,
scientific objective portrayal of a natural self

Since a self was not perceived to have free will,

naturalism is perceived to have been more
inclusive but also less selective than realism
(Hart 525). Naturalism was boxed-in by a
determinism established by Darwinian theory ...
