Charlotte Brontë:
Jane Eyre
How does Brontė convey a sense of childhood? What is the significance and the result of the "red room" experience in terms of Jane's development?
What finally are the strengths and weaknesses of Helen Burns' philosophy?
Interpret the pictures drawn by Jane and described in Chapter 13. What might they mean and what is their effect on Rochester?
What does the fiction (that she is 'other-worldly') Rochester creates about Jane indicate about his character?
Why does Jane use art to punish herself (see the end of Chapter 16)? How does this work exactly?
In what way does Jane have power (despite the master/slave dynamics) in her relationship with Rochester?
In what ways is Bertha Jane's doppelganger. What clues do we have, and what is the significance of this?
What sort of figure is St. John and what does he represent in a love relationship?
Discuss the end of Chapter 35. What is Jane's state of mind, and given this, what do we make of the "supernatural" event?
Does the end of the novel offer a successful solution to the master/slave dynamics? Explain.
