Due Tuesday, June 19th - Read "Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Brontë - Chapters 21-26.
Please read Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë, Chapters 21-26. In this blog space, please post questions for our class discussion. Use evidence from the text in your response.
I understand that Jane isn't used to the jewels and things that Mr Rochester has but if she is to be married to him why would she not want to embrace that lifestyle?
More than anything, Jane "hates" (despises rather) when people uphold truth yet she looks to Mr Rochester as someone worth interest in marrying. Why is that? If she would discover he has in his possession of a (deranged) arsonist in his attic, I'd argue that self-contradiction will get her killed someday.
Why isn't Jane more excited for the newness of Mr.Rochester's life style? I feel like it is more common for people of the lower class to sink in and be overwhelmed when they are involved with high class new surroundings but Jane is showing quite the opposite. What makes Jane different in this sense?
Why, even on her death bed, is Mrs Reed still so mean to Jane? Who has the energy to do that when they're hours from death?

ReplyDeleteThroughout the book, but especially in Chapter 25, Jane experiences vivid dreams. What is the significance of these dreams? What do they mean to Jane?

ReplyDeleteIn Chapter 21, why does Mrs Reed still talk about her son as if he were still alive? -Brodie
ReplyDeleteHow is it anyone else's business who marries who? Why does it matter so much to these people?
ReplyDeleteWhy does Jane visit Mrs. Reed after how cruel she was to Jane as a child? Even if she’s family, that doesn’t excuse her behavior

ReplyDeleteHas Jane's relationship with religion caused her reject any sort of abundance and therefore a life with Mr. Rochester?
