  • Year 9 English Distance Learning Quiz and Learn Booklet Summer 2
    Name: Year 9 English Distance Learning Quiz and Learn Booklet Summer 2 Name : Form : Week 1: Jane Eyre – Plot This week you will be recapping the plot of Jane Eyre – the first text you studied in Year 9. How much can you remember? This book is full of interesting themes and ideas that will also help you with the new texts that you will be reading in Year 10! Jane Eyre is a first-person narrative told from the perspective of Jane, a seemingly ‘plain’ girl who meets a lot of challenges in life. The novel presents Jane’s life from childhood to adulthood. Jane Eyre is a novel written by Charlotte Brontë in 1847. The novel follows the story of Jane, a seemingly plain and simple girl as she battles through life's struggles. Jane has many obstacles in her life - her cruel and abusive Aunt Reed, the grim conditions at Lowood school, her love for Rochester and Rochester's marriage to Bertha. However, Jane overcomes these obstacles through her determination, sharp wit and courage. The novel ends with Jane married to Rochester with children of their own. There are elements of Jane Eyre that echo Charlotte Brontë's own life. She and her sisters went to a school run by a headmaster as severe as Mr Brocklehurst. Two of Charlotte's sisters died there from tuberculosis (just like Jane's only friend, Helen Burns). Charlotte Brontë was also a governess for some years before turning to writing. Jane Eyre – Short Plot Summary 1. The novel begins with Jane living at her aunt's, Mrs Reed.

  • Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte Janes Journey Through Life
    Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte Janes journey through life. Maria Thuresson Autumn 2011 Section for Learning and Environment Kristianstad University Jane Mattisson Maria Thuresson 1 Abstract The aim of this essay is to examine Janes personal progress through the novel Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. It addresses the issue of personal development in relation to social position in England during the nineteenth – century. The essay follows Janes personal journey and quest for independence, equality, self worth and love from a Marxist perspective. In the essay close- reading is also applied as a complementary theory. Keywords: Jane Eyre, Charlotte Bronte, personal progress, nineteenth-century. Maria Thuresson 2 ”(…) Two roads diverged in a wood, and I – I took the one less travelled by, and that had made all the difference.” (Robert Frost, www.poets.org ) Life is like a walk on a road that sometimes turns and takes you places that you never imagined, this is what Charlotte Brontes novel Jane Eyre is about, a journey through life. The essay argues that Jane Eyre progresses throughout the novel, from the perspective of personal development and personal integrity in response to the pressures and expectations of the nineteenth- century social class system. It also argues that Jane’s progress is a circular journey in the sense that she begins her journey in the same social class as she ends up. The essay will examine Jane’s personal journey in the context of five major episodes in the novel. In the five episodes the names of the places are metaphors for stages in Jane’s personal journey.

  • Michael Berkeley and David Malouf's Rewriting of Jane Eyre: an Operatic and Literary Palimpsest*
    CHAPTER 6 Michael Berkeley and David Malouf’s Rewriting of Jane Eyre: An Operatic and Literary Palimpsest* Jean-Philippe Heberlé English composer Michael Berkeley (born 1948) is the son of Lennox Berkeley (1903–1989), himself a composer of instrumental music and operas including, for instance, A Dinner Engagement (1955) and Ruth (1955–56). To this day, Michael Berkeley has written three operas and is currently working on a new operatic project based on Ian McEwan’s novel Atonement (2001). For his first two operas (Baa Baa Black Sheep, 1993, and Jane Eyre, 2000), he collaborated with acclaimed Australian novelist David Malouf (born 1934). This chap- ter addresses Berkeley’s second opera, Jane Eyre, a chamber opera1 premiered at the Cheltenham Music Festival on June 30, 2000. The opera by David Malouf and Michael Berkeley appears to be an oper- atic and literary palimpsest in which Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre is compressed and distorted into a concentrated operatic drama of little more than 70 minutes.2 Five characters form the cast, and the storyline focuses exclusively on the events at Thornfield. In this intertextual3 and intermedial4 analysis of Berkeley and Malouf’s operatic adapta- tion of Jane Eyre, a study of the text and the music reveals whether the librettist and the composer focalized or not on particular elements and episodes of the original novel. The artists at times amended, dis- torted, or retained elements of the novel, allowing their new work to interpret Charlotte Brontë’s novel’s psychologically developed char- acters and its gothic atmosphere. Finally, the opera and its libretto function metadramatically.

Introduction Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre and Jean Rhys’s Wide Sargasso Sea are novels that are based on significant female characters who are exposed to strong male dominance. Jane Eyre, a highly praised novel of the Victorian era published in 1847, unfolds a story of an orphaned girl’s journey from childhood to maturity, whose immense persistence and patience had made her one of the most remarkable literary characters known to this day. On top of that, Brontë’s intriguing writing immediately draws its readers in and the popularity the novel has been still gaining to this day is earned rightfully.

This dissertation will therefore explore the possibility that the quintessentially ‘mad’ female can be replaced by the heavily flawed, and often equally ‘mad’ man, who continuously controls and represses her. Through a diachronic analysis of Bertha Mason and Lucy Snowe in Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre and Villette, Catherine Earnshaw in Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights and Helen Graham in Anne Brontë’s The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, this project will demonstrate how and why the middle- class, ‘sane’ and respectable man can be met with character divergences and vices of his own. This undermines his credibility as a ‘doctor’ or a dictator in his treatment of women, which in turn vindicates and questions the validity and the ultimate cause of female ‘madness’ in the first instance.

  • Identity and Independence in Jane Eyre
    Mid Sweden University English Studies Identity and Independence in Jane Eyre Angela Andersson English C/ Special Project Tutor: Joakim Wrethed Spring 2011 1 Table of Content Introduction……………………………………………… 2 Aim and Approach ………………………………………. 2 Theory …………………………………………………… 3 Material and Previous Research…………………………. 5 Analysis………………………………………………….. 6 Gateshead Hall and Lowood Institution………………... 6 Thornfield Hall…………………………………………... 9 Marsh End………………………………………………. 12 Conclusion………………………………………………. 14 Works cited……………………………………………… 15 2 Introduction During the Victorian era the ideal woman‟s life revolved around the domestic sphere of her family and the home. Middle class women were brought up to “be pure and innocent, tender and sexually undemanding, submissive and obedient” to fit the glorified “Angel in the House”, the Madonna-image of the time (Lundén et al, 147). A woman had no rights of her own and; she was expected to marry and become the servant of her husband. Few professions other than that of a governess were open to educated women of the time who needed a means to support themselves. Higher education was considered wasted on women because they were considered mentally inferior to men and moreover, work was believed to make them ill. The education of women consisted of learning to sing, dance, and play the piano, to draw, read, write, some arithmetic and French and to do embroidery (Lundén et al 147). Girls were basically educated to be on display as ornaments. Women were not expected to express opinions of their own outside a very limited range of subjects, and certainly not be on a quest for own identity and aim to become independent such as the protagonist in Charlotte Brontë‟s Jane Eyre.

Similar to Brontë’s Jane Eyre, I often search for corner spaces where I can create safe environments for myself—a place to become intellectually stronger, resilient, and free. When I read British literature from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries the corner spaces appear within the stories, providing a refuge where I can use my own creativity to interpret the texts. This is what makes me happy and I thank my parents for their unwavering support throughout my education and for their belief in my abilities. I thank Dr. Judith Page, my professor, committee chair, and advisor, who always offered guidance through this process and assisted in the revisions.

  • The Image of Victorian Women As Depicted in Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
    European Journal of English Language and Literature Studies Vol.7, No.6, pp.49-58, December 2019 Published by ECRTD- UK Print ISSN: 2055-0138(Print), Online ISSN: 2055-0146(Online) THE IMAGE OF VICTORIAN WOMEN AS DEPICTED IN JANE EYRE BY CHARLOTTE BRONTE Dr. Bahreldin Haroon Guma Abaker Assistant professor, English Language Department, College of Arts, Jouf University ABSTRACT: This paper attempts to explore how successful Charlotte Bronte is in creating for her novel Jane Eyre a heroine of her age, dramatizing her own autobiography, including social problems that she encountered as a woman during the Victorian era. And how she can tackle and address many nineteenth century Victorian social problems such as class and gender inequality, race prejudice, and religious beliefs. The research uses the descriptive analytical method, and in it is revealed that Bronte has deliberately created Jane, the main character along with other female characters to refute Victorian inherited conventions that treated women unfairly, many critics and writers think and confirm that women were oppressed during Victorian era. Bronte made an innovation by raising a powerful, passionate, female character who can articulate her thought, and fight for her rights. This portrayal contracts with the real women images of Victorian time, who were oppressed and marginalized by men. It is sum up that Charlotte Bronte revolts against the inequality between men and women during the nineteenth century, she portrays this rejection in the Jane Eyre’s resistant behavior. KEYWORDS: passionate, inferior, response, image, representation. INTRODUCTION Charlotte Bronte (1816-1855) is an English novelist and is best known for her passionate novel Jane Eyre, which was published in 1847.
