It is a work that refutes denial and ignorance of women's sexual identity and passion. Jane Eyre shows that women are capable of being passionate and of experiencing fulfillment in a marriage where the partners are equals.In the following essay, I will explain the role and some major problems of middle-class women in 19th century Victorian England. Moreover, I will elaborate on how 'the woman question' (Martin, J. 1999:15) appeared and stress the fact that it brought about a complete and complex change in English society. In chapter 1, the emphasis will lie on the historical background which shall serve as a basis for the following chapters where the main focus is made on the analysis of Charlotte Bronte's text Jane Eyre.I will illustrate that Jane Eyre is a woman who, resisting the limiting conventions of her time, reaches her goal - a life in fulfillment and bliss. It shall also be shown that Jane's life is a symbolical pilgrimage towards maturity and fulfillment (Newman 1996: 475) starting in Gateshead and continuing with stops in Lowood, Thornfield and Moor House, before concluding in Ferndean.

Hausarbeit aus dem Jahr 2005 im Fachbereich Anglistik - Literatur, einseitig bedruckt, Note: 1,3, Universität Hamburg, Veranstaltung: English Classics Re-Written , 29 Eintragungen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Der Roman Wide Sargasso Sea von Jean Rhys, welcher im Jahre 1966 publiziert wurde, steht in einer besonderen Beziehung zu Charlotte Bronte's Werk Jane Eyre , das 1847 erstmals veröffentlicht wurde. In Anlehnung an die von Gerard Genette geprägten Begrifflichkeiten kann von Wide Sargasso Sea als einem Hypertext gesprochen werden, welcher in einem transtextuellen Zusammenhang mit dem Hypotext Jane Eyre steht. In Rhys's Wide Sargasso Sea entwirft Jean Rhys eine Vorgeschichte der Figur Bertha Masons, der in Bronte's Roman Jane Eyre als geistesgestört beschriebenen Frau von Mr. Rochester. Jane Stevenson deutet diesen Akt des Schreibens als eine Auseinandersetzung von Jean Rhys mit ihrer literarischen Vorgängern Charlotte Bronte, wobei Rhys die in ihren eigenen Romanen stets anzutreffenden Themen der Entfremdung, des Wahnsinns und der Hilflosigkeit einbringt. Mit ihrer karibische[n] Revision von Bronte's Jane Eyre setzt sich Jean Rhys schreibend mit einem Werk des britischen Kanons auseinander und reiht sich damit in die Tradition postkolonialer Literatur ein. Neben den im Vordergrund stehenden Unterschieden zwischen den Protagonistinnen Antoinette Cosway und Jane Eyre, wie beispielsweise der Nationalität, sind dennoch einige signifikante Gemeinsamkeiten der Figuren vorhanden. Aufgrund dieser Ähnlichkeiten kann der Leser Parallelen zwischen den Figuren beider Romane ziehen. Jean Rhys hat die Figur Antoinette Cosway so angelegt, dass sie in verschiedener Weise an Jane Eyre erinnert. Die Parallelen sind sowohl im Bereich der Lebensumstände als auch der charakterlichen Eigenschaften zu finden. Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich nun mit den vom Leser der beiden Romane zu ziehenden Parallelen der Protagonistinnen von Jane Eyre und Wide Sargasso Sea . Den beiden Heldinnen gemein ist das Gefühl, nicht dazu zu gehören, einsam und deplaziert zu sein. Auch haben beide Frauen einen Hang zu Leidenschaft und temperamentvollem Handeln, der zwar teilweise unterdrückt wird aber dennoch besteht und einige Male in rebellischem Handeln Ausdruck findet. Eine weitere Gemeinsamkeit besteht in dem Besuch einer Mädchenschule, welche in beiden Fällen religiös geprägt ist und eine Art Schutz vor der Außenwelt bedeutet. Eine Verbindung der Protagonistinnen besteht darin, dass sie beide mit Mr. Rochester verheiratet sind, auch wenn dieser namentlich nicht in Wide Sargasso Sea erwähnt wird, ist davon auszugehen, dass es sich um diese Figur handelt.

Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, printed single-sided, grade: 2,00, University of Koblenz-Landau (Anglistik), course: Colonial and Postcolonial Literatures, language: English, abstract: Wide Sargasso Sea is one of the best-known literary postcolonial replies to the writing ofCharlotte Bronte and a brilliant deconstruction of what is known as the author's worlding inJane Eyre.1The novel written by Jean Rhys tells the story of Jane Eyre's protagonist, EdwardRochester. The plot takes place in West Indies where Rochester met his first wife, BerthaAntoinette Mason. Wide Sargasso Sea influences the common reading and understanding ofthe matrix novel, as it rewrites crucial parts of Jane Eyre.The heroine in Jean Rhys's Wide Sargasso Sea, Antoinette Cosway, is created out of demonicand bestialic Bertha Mason from Jane Eyre. Rhys's great achievement in her re-writing of theBronte's text is her creation of a double to the madwoman from Jane Eyre. The heroine ofWide Sargasso Sea, the beautiful Antoinette Cosway, heiress of the post-emancipation fortuneis created out of the demonc and bestialic Bertha Mason. The author transforms the first MrsRochester into an individual figure whose madness is caused by imperialistic and patriarchaloppression.2The vision of Bertha/Antoinette as an insane offspring from a family plagued bymadness is no longer plausible to the reader.3In this essay I would like to focus the factorswhich led to the madness of the protagonist.Although Bertha Mason and Jane Eyre seem to be enemies and contradictory characters in theVictorian novel, many critics find several similarities between the two heroines, their life andfinally between Jane Eyre and Wide Sargasso Sea. Seeing Jane Eyre and Antoinette Coswayas sisters and doubles is very popular with some critics who dealt with the works of CharlotteBronte and Jean Rhys. Nevertheless, I would like to focus in this essay on GayatriChakravorty Spivak's criticism on viewing and interpreting the two heroines. GayatriChakravorty Spivak in her essay Three Women's Texts and a Critique of Imperialismvalues also Jean Rhys for telling the story of Bertha Mason through the Creole perspective,but she criticises the author for marginalising the native inhabitants of West Indies.

Charlotte Bronte (Author), Harold Bloom (ed.) Illustrator: NA: Jane Eyre: (Viva Modern Critical Interpretations) Viva Books 2007 ISBN: 9788130907420

New Softcover NA Written in the mid-1800s, Jane Eyre maintains its universal appeal through the strength of its heroineaEUR"the poor, abused, plain orphan with a commanding and spirited personality. JaneaEUR s determination and wit win her the husband she so intensely love, but the novel proves to be more than a rags-to-riches love story. Jane Eyre comments on the morality and prejudices of the times, and ultimately tells the tale of JaneaEUR s search for self. In many ways Jane Eyre can be read as a quintessential expression of Victorian individualism. Whilst George EliotaEUR s heroines ask where social duty can lie, Charlotte BrontA"aEUR s ask only how individual desires and ambitions can be achieved. In the mouth of an industrialist, such sentiments would express the spirit of the age. Coming from a socially-marginal female their import is radical, if not revolutionary. VIVA MODERN CRITICAL INTERPRETATIONS presents the best current criticism on the most widely read and studied poems, novels and dramas of the Western world, from Oedipus Rex and the Iliad to such modern and contemporary works as William FaulkneraEUR s The Sound and the Fury and Don DelilloaEUR s White Noise.
