Question 3 Chapters 16-22

Hello! You have 2 questions to choose from.  Only answer one.

1. Consider the ways Jane and Mr. Rochester characterize each other. She claims he can "read my unspoken thoughts," while he attributes supernatural qualities to her. Do these transcendental powers remove their relationship from this world and from all of its social restrictions? In other words, is their love so special it defies normal worldly definition?

or....

2. How is Bronte challenging England's class system through the character of Jane?


Don't for get to use  textual evidence.

Hang in there; we are half way done!

Until next time...see you on chapter 23

Question 2 Jane Eyre. Chapters 10-15

I am loving this novel!!  I hope you all are enjoying it...

Jane's move to Thornfield marked a dramatic shift in her life. Why, however after months being there is she only merely satisfied with her new life?  Why does she still long for more experiences of the world? From where does Jane draw her happiness?  Use evidence from the text.  


Hope you all are having a nice summer



Keep reading. Until next time!

By the way, very good responses to the previous post.
