1980. A
recurring theme in literature is the classic war between a passion and
responsibility. For instance, a personal cause, a love, a desire for revenge, a
determination to redress a wrong, or some other emotion or drive may conflict
with moral duty. Choose a literary work in which a character confronts the
demands of a private passion that conflicts with his or her responsibilities.
In a well-written essay show clearly the nature of the conflict, its effects
upon the character, and its significance to the work.
Ewwww, Jane Eyre. Possibly the most descriptive novel on the face of the planet. Honestly though, I did not hate Jane Eyre as much as many of my class mates seemed to, probably because I skipped ahead whenever the pages of descriptive imagery began. In all reality though, I really enjoyed your much more concise analysis of Jane Eyre. You proposed a good analysis of Jane Eyre’s internal conflict. However, I think you could easily interpret and apply Jane’s life to modern society.
ReplyDeleteIn Jane Eyre, ironically, she DOESN’T want to be dependent on her husband, because of many factors, primarily the way she was raised and the morals she holds. I find it quite ironic that in an age where women could not vote and were supposed to be dependent on their men, that Jane is so worried about supporting herself. It is even more ironic when you consider the stereotypes that surround women in modern times, of being dependent on their husbands.
