Jane Eyre, The Feminist Tract"
.... also given a warning about the possible outcome of failure to
realize self-worth in Bertha Rochester. This facet will also be discussed
briefly. Bronte uses the motivation of personal experiences to create the
life of Jane Eyre in which we see the quest for social betterment through
her relationships.
Bronte herself experienced the social limitations of the nineteenth
century. At this time "respectable women had few options in life beyond
marriage, education of children, and domestic service," (Magill 747). She
ventured to explore her own literary abilities and wrote Jane Eyre, a novel
which "served to articulate the ne .....

.... than Jane. Jane observes: "Miss Temple is
full of goodness…" Miss Temple was another great influence in Jane's life,
she treated Jane as if she were her own daughter. We realize now that Jane
was no longer alone. She had friends to love her and guide her to the next
step in life. Jane had not only gained more experience and confidence, she
also achieved a great education during her eight years at Lowood.
Jane's next destination was Thornfield where she was to become the
governess of Adčle, an orphan just like her. Adčle's presence reminded
Jane of her old self and her awful childhood at Gateshead. Jane taught Adč

Jane Eyre: Analysis Of Bronte's Work
.... evil. She was poor and
plain in a time when society considered "an ugly woman a blot on the face
of creation." It challenged Victorian class structure in a strictly
hierachal society. A relationship between a lowly governess and a wealthy
nobleman was simply unheard of. Bronte drew criticism for her attack on the
aristocracy who she deemed as hypocritical "showy but ... not genuine." She
assaulted individual's already established morals by presenting a plausible
case for bigamy. Notions which should have evoked disgust and outrage from
its reader. Yet its most scandaless aspect was its open treatment of love.

Jay Gatsby: The Dissolution Of A Dream
.... lose their life. Daisy represents a dreamlike, heavenly presence
which all that he has is devoted to. Yes, we should consider Jay Gatsby
as tragic figure because of belief that he can restore the past and live
happily, but his distorted faith is so intense that he blindly unaware of
realism that his dream lacks. Gatsby has accumulated his money by
dealings with gangsters, yet he remains an innocent figure, he is
extravagant. Gatsby is not interested in power for its own sake or in
money or prestige. What he wants is his dream, and that dream is embodied
in Daisy. Ironically, Daisy Buchanan, is a much more realistic, hard-

The Great Gatsby: Jay Gatsby Is A Pathetic Character
.... Gatsby ever did in his whole life was based upon
his pursuit of the dream. He moved to New York and bought his very
expensive mansion because of Daisy. Jordan Baker said, "Gatsby bought that
house so that Daisy would be just across the bay."(Fitzgerald 83) He held
many expensive parties in the hope that Daisy might show up at one of them.
Jordan said, "I think he half expected her to wander into one of his
parties, some night, but she never did."(Fitzgerald 84) His daily life was
also controlled by the dream. Jordan said, "he says he's read a Chicago
paper for years just on the chance of catching a glimpse of Daisy's

The Adventures Of Huck Finn: Jim Is A Hero
.... truth about Pap to Huck. This is a second and more
direct approach that is used in the story in order to show this same point.
Jim is also basically a good person. Although he is ignorant, he
knows that it is a good thing for him to show Huck that he has worth so
that Huck can think of him as an equal. This is a tough idea for Huck to
realize because at this point in time he still thinks of Jim in terms of
being a slave, and not on equal footing with him. This is shown by Jim's
statement of his own self worth.
"Yes; en I's rich now, come to look at it. I owns mysef, en I's wuth eight
hund'd dollars. I wisht I had de money, I .....

Jim's Role In Huckleberry Finn
.... 11. This is the chapter where Huck finds out that some
people are going to see if there is anyone on Jackson Island, where Huck
and Jim currently are. After Huck tells Jim that men are coming, Huck
says this about Jim's reaction: "Jim never asked no questions, he never
said a word; but the way he worked for the next half an hour showed about
how he was scared." This confirms something obvious—that Jim values his
freedom greatly. Once he has experienced a kind of freedom, he understands
all the better what he has been deprived of, and isn't willing to go back
to the chains that slavery give him. It also shows that slaves we .....

camp leader's grandchild. Word of his accomplishments spread throughout
the area. After Mac and Jim became friends with London, the leader of the
camp, and the other workers, they persuaded the fruit pickers to organize
and strike for higher wages, and better living conditions. This was not
easy to do. As usual the orchard owners had made effective use of
communism. Furthermore, the vigilantes were a constant menace, not to

growers. In addition, the au .....

Adams, Fanny might have been raped by the man who was accompanying her to
London.
The next show of a sexual advance on Fanny was made by a Squire
that they had encountered after leaving Mr. Wilson's house. Since the
Squire's dogs had attacked Adams, he defended himself by hitting them with
his cane. When the Squire arrived, and saw the bruises on his dogs, he
would have probably had Joseph and Adams indicted had he not seen Fanny.
He invited all of them to dinner at his estate, trying to get Joseph and
Parson Adams drunk, so he and Fanny could spend some time alone, but Parson
Adams leaves with Joseph and Fa .....

"The Ministers Black Veil" And "The Scarlet Letter": Judgmentalality
.... it meant evil,
shame, and sin to the townspeople. All it was, was a letter nothing more,
nothing less. The second object that people took as a prolific sign was
the weeds on a grave. They reasoned that the weeds were there because of
the sins of that person, and that the weeds grew because flowers could not.
People then and now take symbols too deeply and meaningful.
People often take events to be meaningful and supernatural. In The
Scarlet Letter the meteor meant some great act of God or the Devil was
about to take place. All a meteor is, is a chunk of rock of that is being
incinerated in our atmosphere. As a second .....
