Jane Eyre essay topic
Jane Eyre is as many people think a feminist book that shows that women are always enclosed. There is alot of evidence to support it. Jane is locked away in the Red Room, she encloses herself in the certains. She also feels an inamte to the walls of Thornfeild and Lowood in realizing the large entirety of the world. Bertha also lives in a prison like room. Yes it does show the enclosure of women but what about women and how they always de-horse men. In the book Jane de-horses Rochester once which causes him to lean on Jane. This theme isn't shown as much a the feminist idea, but is just as bad. Men all the time are stripped of what makes them a "man" and forced to lean on women. Men are stripped of their ideas and their ways of doing things. They are forced to leave their ideas when they marry a women. They have to leave their idea of wild, and carefree lifestyle for a more lay-low work life. To have a family men have to loose thier young ways which ins't fair. So while this book is showing the enclosure women are forced to deal, it is unjust that men are consantly de-horsed by women.

ReplyDeleteSorry this post came in too late for me to comment on (you might check out some similar posts by classmates who are also considering comparing Jane and Bertha--a great approach to the novel, I think).
