Literature Analysis 2

1. Jane Eyre is written by Charlotte Bronte and is about a girl name Jane Eyre who lost both her parents and has to live with her aunt Mrs. Reed. Jane goes through a lot living with her aunt. She is treated like a maid and is abused by her cousin John. Then one day her aunt decides to send her to boarding school. When goes to school she is eight years old and she goes through a lot. After 10 years of school she decides to put out job offerings to be a governess. She gets a job teaching a little French girl named Adele at Thornfield estate. Her master is Mr. Rochester, he is the guardian of Adele. Jane is having a wonderful time in Thornfield when suddenly she gets news that her cousin John has died and that her aunt Reed is next to go. Jane decides to go only because her aunt gave a special request to see her before she dies. Before she goes Jane hears news that her master, Mr. Rochester, is planning on getting married to a women named Miss Ingram. She is very sad at this news because she is in love with him. She is gone for a month and when she returns she has a very important talk with Mr. Rochester. Mr. Rochester important news was that he wished to marry Jane. She got married and was happy.

2. The theme of the story is to believe in yourself. Throughout the book Jane is not very confident with herself, she always was put down as a child. When Mr. Rochester wanted to marry her she wondered why because she always thought she was ugly and why would he want to marry an ugly girl whom is poor. I think the author chose this theme because its important to be confident in yourself no matter what other people tell you.

3.The book Jane Eyre was introduced to me by Mr. Ostini. I decided to read this book because I love to read classic books and Jane Eyre is a classic book. The thing that grabed my attention about this book was how the main character,Jane Eyre, starts telling her story right away and also how descriptive she is when she expalins things.

4.I did find this book realistic because it tells a story about a girl who lost both her parents and had to live with her aunt whom did not like her. People in the world do lose both their parents and either live with family members or have to live in foster care. On that note I don't think my life really at any time during the book pertains to any events in my life.

5. Sad: Throughout the book the authors tone is very sad because the main character goes through a lot of sad times like when her cousin John would abuse her or when her aunt would lock her in her dead uncles room in the dark as punishment.

Angry:The main character Jane has a lot of hatred towards her aunt and cousin John. In the book Jane has actually told both her aunt and cousin John that she hated them and as you read you can just feel the anger in her words she tells them.

Happy: Even though Jane had a lot of bad times she had a lot of happy times to. This is like when Jane would describe how happy she was living with Mr. Rochester. The way she expresses her love of the house and the people in the house tells you how finally she is happy.

6. 1. "Have mercy! Have mercy, aunt Reed! And that punishment you made me suffer because your wicked boy struck me-knocked me down for nothing." (pg.39) In this quote you can hear the anger in Jane's voice as she talks to her aunt.

2. "I had often been unwilling to look at my master, because I feared he could not be pleased at my look." (pg.259) In this quote we see that Jane has internal conflict. She is not comfortable with her appearance because of the fact that her aunt would tell her she was ugly when she was little.

3. "And Shall I see you again, Helen, when I die?" (pg.84) This is a tragic flaw because Jane's dearest friend Helen is going to die and this makes Jane very sad.

4. Jane is a Dynamic Character because she is always and learning. She went from a girl who had no hope to a girl who knows anything can happen. Not only has her personality changed in the book but also her life has changed to. She went from a girl who had nothing to a girl who has everything.

5. The point of view of the story is first person because Jane is telling her story.

6. The foil character of the story would have to be John Reed, Jane's cousin. He was always so mean to her, he treated her like a slave. He once throw a book at the back of her head as punishment because he caught her reading.

7. "In the shape of Miss Ingram; a noble and beautiful woman,-your bride." (pg.255) This Quote shows dramatic irony because Jane does not know that Mr. Rochester wants her to be his wife.

8. A static character would have to be Mr. Rochester he never changes. He always acts the same even when Jane doesn't want to act certain ways. This is like when she told him she did not want to be showered in jewels, he still got her some.

9. "Hear a bell, ringing the hour of supper, called me down stairs." This quote shows personification.

10. Mrs. Reed, Jane's aunt, is a flat character that is shallow and never changes. When she was dying and talking to Jane she still spoke to her rudely and never apologized for the way she treated Jane.

Characterization

1. Direct Characterization: 1. " I am not your dear; I cannot lie down: send me to school soon, Mrs. Reed, for I hate to live here."(pg.39) This quote shows you how Jane feels about Mrs. Reed and how she doesn't like living there.
2. "Nature must be gladsome when I was so happy."(pg.259) This quote directly tells us that Jane is happy.

Indirect Characterization: 1. "As the rain fell during the storm two hours' duration, I experienced no fear, and little awe." (pg.259) This quote shows us how Jane is in love and that nothing can ruin her joy.
2. " Forgive me for my passionate language."(pg.241) This quote shows us how sorry Jane is to Mrs. Reed for the way she talked to her.

2. The author diction does not change when she focuses on other characters.

3. The protagonist is dynamic and round. Jane is always learning new things about herself. She also has many talents in the book. Jane is flaunt in French, good at math and English. She is always changing and discovering new adventures.

4. From the book I fell like I met a person and read a character. Throughout the book you learn a lot about Jane and what she went through and how her life changed dramatically.

5. From this book I will always remember that anything is possible. This pertains to how Jane thought no one would ever love her and then Mr. Rochester came along and told her he loved her and that he wanted to marry her. Also she thought that she would never have great fortune in her life and now she is rich. Another thing I will always remember is anything you put your mind to you can achieve it. Its like when Jane wanted to get a new job as a governess. She went after what she wanted and ended up happier than she has ever been.
