Essay Topics

I am unsure exactly what I want to write about, although I think the sun and the moon or gender relations seems interesting. I like how the moon rises when Bertha stabs Mr.Mason, and its also night time(Moon is up) when Jane and Bertha have their first face to face encounter the night before the wedding. And I am also considering the idea about how Rochester is more reliant on Jane at night, when he needs her help with Mr.Mason, and when morning comes (and the sun is up) Rochester is confident on his own. The idea of Jane and Rochester both relying on each other is also very interesting. I possibly will write about how Jane and Rochester count on each other as support both mentally and physically. That without Rochester, Jane is without a job or a home. And without Jane, Rochester is stuck with Bertha in his solitary house. Another example to gender roles is the first time they meet where Rochester is un-horsed and in need of Jane's support. Or when the fire happens and Jane saves Rochester. Most stereotypes is that the man is above the women, but in many cases we can see that Jane and Rochester are equal. I'm not sure exactly which one I would rather do but I'm thinking about the second idea of gender equality. I do not know which would make a stronger argument, but I believe I could connect both ideas into one, falling under Gender Equality.
