Coined in 1966 by literary critic Julia Kristeva, the term ‘intertextuality’ deals with the idea of how one text is shaped by a number of other texts and how two readers might perceive the same article, poem or novel in very different ways depending on their reading history. These influences lead to a richer reading experience, since more information and layers are added to the story by the -

Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre: Deadly Versus Healing Fantasy in the Lives and Works of the Brontes Abstract In lieu of an abstract, below is the article's first paragraph. Dreams and fantasies provide humans with a means of escape from everyday reality. According to Sigmund Freud, dreams carry one "off into another world" (Strachey, 1900, 7). Their aim is to free us from our everyday life (Burdach, 1838, 499) and to provide us with the opportunity to fantasize about how we would like our lives to be or to imagine our lives as worse than they are so that we can cope with our current situation. -

It is a bildungsroman of the eponymous heroine Jane Eyre and thus traces her growth amidst the trajectory of life.

A Character Analysis of Emily Brontë's Heathcliff and Charlotte Brontë's Ja
Centre for Languages and Literature English Studies Different Representations of the Orphan Child: A Character Analysis of Emily Brontë’s Heathcliff and Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre Patricia Loggarfve ENGK01 Degree project in English Literature Autumn 2016 Centre for Languages and Literature Lund University Supervisor: Kiki Lindell Abstract This bachelor essay aims to discuss and analyse the main characters in the novels Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights written by the sisters Charlotte and Emily Brontë, respectively. Both novels written in 1847, during a time when orphan narratives were popular, have orphans as the central protagonists. This investigation bases the analysis on the orphans’ background and further compares their personalities and actions, both as children and adults. My discussion is mainly about the characters’ childhood as well as how they are affected by love and death as adults. It also discusses the importance of narrative structure and religion. The main findings in my investigation are that Jane and Heathcliff develop to be two completely different characters and that this has to do with them having different experiences of love, death and religion. The results further reveal that the narrative structure has an impact on how the characters are perceived, and it stresses the importance of telling one’s own story.

“A Man Is Nothing Without the Spice of the Devil in Him”: Jane Eyre And
“A Man is Nothing without the Spice of the Devil in Him” Jane Eyre and Edward Rochester Navigate an Imperially- Inscribed Masculinity Rachel Willis Abstract In Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre, Edward Rochester’s imperially-inscribed masculinity, anchored in Victorian patriarchal ideals, requires Jane to negotiate and eventually resist his attempts to dominate her. Recent readings of the novel by scholars like Joyce Zonana and Ralph Austen acknowledge its heavy reliance on colonial discourse, arguing that this discourse allows Brontë to critique the Western patriarchal values that Jane grapples with by displacing them onto the colonial “other.” The Victorian patriarchal society Jane lives in marginalizes her in several ways, and the novel uses colonial themes to portray this marginalization. However, these themes also offer her ways of resistance, especially in relation to Rochester. Rochester’s masculinity, which is both marginalized according to British class standards and hegemonic according to his social position and wealth, is also figured both in colonial terms as Jane’s colonizer and in terms that mark his otherness. For example, Jane associates Rochester with the “oriental” whenever he tries to dominate her in ways that go against her Christian faith, positioning him as a “savage” and a “heathen”—a man who is powerful but still in need of the civilizing (and emasculating) Protestant religion. Thus, examining Jane’s navigation of Rochester’s imperially-inscribed masculinity offers insight into the novel’s negotiation of power and oppression.

Charlotte Brontë JANE EYRE Brontë, Charlotte: Jane Eyre 1 I Aquel día no fue posible salir de paseo. Por la mañana jugamos durante una hora entre los matorrales, pero después de comer (Mrs. Reed comía temprano cuando no había gente de fuera), el frío viento invernal trajo consigo unas nubes tan sombrías y una lluvia tan recia, que toda posibilidad de salir se disipó. Yo me alegré. No me gustaban los paseos largos, sobre todo en aquellas tardes invernales. Regresábamos de ellos al anochecer, y yo volvía siempre con los dedos agarrotados, con el corazón entristecido por los regaños de Bessie, la niñera, y humillada por la consciencia de mi inferioridad física respecto a Eliza, John y Georgiana Reed. Los tres, Eliza, John y Georgiana, se agruparon en el salón en torno a su madre, reclinada en el sofá, al lado del fuego. Rodeada de sus hijos (que en aquel instante no disputaban ni alborotaban), mi tía parecía sentirse perfectamente feliz. A mí me dispensó de la obligación de unirme al grupo, diciendo que se veía en la necesidad de mantenerme a distancia hasta que Bessie le dijera, y ella lo comprobara, que yo me esforzaba en adquirir mejores modales, en ser una niña obediente. Mientras yo no fuese más sociable, más despejada, menos huraña y más agradable en todos los sentidos, Mrs. Reed se creía obligada a excluirme de los privilegios reservados a los niños obedientes y buenos. -¿Y qué ha dicho Bessie de mí? -interrogué al oír aquellas palabras. -No me gustan las niñas preguntonas, Jane. Una niña no debe hablar a los mayores de esa manera. -
