“Such is the imperfect nature of
man! Such spots are there on the
disc of the clearest planet; and eyes
like Miss Scatcherd’s can only see
those minute defects, and are blind
to the full brightness of the orb”
(80)
...

“By what instinct do you pretend to
distinguish between…a guide and a
seducer” (140)
...

“I mean that human affections and
sympathies have a most powerful
hold on you” (358)
...
This negative nature is shown by
Bronte to describe the narrow-minded, pessimistic quality of
human nature as they pick out flaws to outweigh the positives
...
Through her New Testament teachings, Helen
shows Jane a religious path throughout her journey
...
In analysis, Bronte describes the manipulative
nature as man, as Rochester attempts to distinguish and
morph passion into temptation
...
Jane’s self-recognition allow her to return to her
spiritual path
...
John conveys his isolation from human
nature, separating himself entirely from human emotions,
holding himself above others
...


Fire and Ice
...
These two
symbols that make up the motif perfectly manifest Jane’s struggle
throughout the novel between her passion and reasoning, as well
as a deeper conflict of happiness and loneliness
...

The chestnut tree
...
Using it first as a place
where Jane falls in love with Rochester, then seeing it split into
pieces to represent Jane’s impending uncertainty and desolation in
her relationship
...

Bronte’s use of the bird motif is used to describe Jane’s
relationships throughout the novel
...
All in all,
birds are constantly used to convey the status of Jane’s
independence and relationships
...
” Write an essay about a novel
based upon this quotes, analyzing a character
who portrays these characteristics
...
Write an essay in
which you discuss how a character in a novel
or drama struggles to free himself of others
...
Then write an
essay showing how this contributes to the
work as a whole
...

Focusing on a work, explain how its
representation of childhood shapes the
meaning of the work as a whole
...

In Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre, Rochester constantly
asserts power of Jane, while Bronte uses the
unbalance of their relationship to convey her
opinions of man’s obsession with power
...
Through this struggle, Bronte illuminates an
unmatched balance that utilizes spiritual, emotional,
and logical equality
