    Jane Eyre: A Novel of All Genres Sometimes referred to as “sentimental fiction” or “woman’s fiction,” “domestic fiction” refers to a type of novel popular with female readers during the middle of the nineteenth century. In their emphasis on the inherent goodness of human nature and the power of feelings as a guide to good conduct, these novels seem partly a reaction against Calvinistic ideas that viewed humanity as inherently corrupt.

    How Is Jane Eyre Influenced by the Tradition of the Gothic Novel?

    Gothic themes deal with old mansions, dark mysteries and remote locations. Much like the tradition in this novel. It comes as no surprise that the life Jane lives is a dark and dreary path. That can be acquired by the way she is treated by her aunt to the way she ends up in Lowood. As you read more into the book, you will realize that both Jane and Rochester had difficult childhoods as well

    Jane Eyre - an Analysis

    The Oxford dictionary states that a classic is of lasting importance; typical, and famous because it is long-established. But this only hints at what makes a classic. Yes it is true that most classics have been around for a long time but this is not purely what makes then a classic. It is the reasons why they have lasted so long that make something a classic. These reasons can be condensed into four broad aspects.

    The Representation of the Doubleness of Selfhood in Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre and Jean Rhys’s Wide Sargasso Sea

    In this study of Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre and Jean Rhys's Wide Sargasso Sea I aim to consider the representation of the doubleness of selfhood, and how both between and within the two novels a continuous mirroring of double identity, (reflecting like a hall of mirrors), can be traced. I will concentrate chiefly on the duality of the female personae, although I will also consider briefly the concept of doubling across gender boundaries. Miller maintains

    In looking at this question, it is my opinion that it is arousing a discussion of the self-denial that religion imposes and also the conflict it imposes on the self. For this I will primarily be looking at Charlotte Bronte’s ‘Jane Eyre’ and the poetry of John Donne. The progression of Jane Eyre’s life is shown by a variety of links to religion due to the many changes in her way of life. Bronte shows
