Jane Eyre - Critical Evaluation
.... to be a "blackened ruin" due to a fire which has left Rochester blind with only one arm and killed his wife. Jane goes to Rochester’s new home, and they are married.
Jane’s ‘physical’ journeys contribute significantly to plot development and to the idea that the novel is a ‘journey’ through Jane’s life. "Jane Eyre’s" chronological structure also emphasises this idea, the journey progresses as time goes on. Each journey causes her to experience new emotions and an eventual change of some kind. These .....

Jane Eyre - Fire And Water
.... of the thematic structure of the novel also in the fact that unregulated passion must be avoided. The water imagery, later incorporated into St. John’s character represents the passion that Jane is not interested in. Rochester is also represented by fire imagery throughout the novel. When he first returns to Thornfield, "a warm glow suffused both it and the lower steps of the oak staircase"(133) and there was "a genial fire in the grate"(133). There is a change in atmosphere in Thornfield upon his return. .....

Jane Eyre - Nature
.... be the purity and innocence of the old Jane that Rochester managed to capture before she left him. Having established some of the nature themes in "Jane Eyre," we can now look at the natural cornerstone of the novel: the passage between her flight from Thornfield and her acceptance into Morton. In leaving Thornfield, Jane has severed all her connections; she has cut through any umbilical cord. She narrates: "Not a tie holds me to human society at this moment." After only taking a small parcel with her from .....

Jane Eyre: Sexism
.... are judged according to what they do have to offer in terms of these three or so categories.
In the very beginning of the novel, the Bennet girls' mother says, when asked if Bingley is married, "Oh! Single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!" (p3, Austen). This shows a simplicity of role for a female, but also an undermining of any personality a man may have. Nothing is known about Bingley except that he is rich, yet Mrs. .....

These two hundred fifty words or so are a small percentage of the book as a whole, but contain many of the themes and stylistic devices Morrison uses throughout her novel. We learn much of our two main characters - Joe and Violet - and as well the reader gains valuable information, allowing us to begin the process of piecing th .....

John Dryden
.... during the Restoration and even today, little is known about John Dryden except what is in his works. Because he wrote from the beginning through the end of the Restoration period, many literary scholars consider the end of the Restoration period to have occurred with Dryden's death in 1700 (Miner 2). Surviving Dryden was his wife Lady Elizabeth and there were three sons, to whom he had always been a loving and careful father. John, his oldest son, followed his father in death only three years later .....

Johnny Got His Gun
.... a place of intricate and marvelous patterns of meaning" (Contemporary Vol. 5 449). With this faith he is able to bring things into focus that would not ordinarily be seen. "I describe things not because their muteness mocks our subjectivity but because they seem to be masks for God. . ." (Contemporary Vol. 7 486). Updike is able to see past the facade of normal, ordinary life.
John Updike uses his insights in his writing to emphasize human feelings. He suggests in his writings that "the human conscien .....

Swift does not feel that the starving children are of no use for the Irish people, except for being expended of. He may state that the children of the rich hold Ireland’s future in hand and the children of the poor. It is his combination of feelings between the rich and impoverished which brings the reader to see all direction .....

Joseph Conrad

Conrad’s concept is taken up with some religion in all his novels, since it is a way of observing the way Conrad revives the dark sides of his characters (Dintenfass 7). Overall, we realize that all three novels have a primary similarity; we find that they all include a portion of both fiction and reality. Conrad’s style of techniques includes his organization of his thou .....
