Assignment 4 -- Jane Eyre, pgs 89-177 (Chpts 8-14)

Write a 300 word blog/journal. Consider the following questions in your entry. Also, as a reminder, feel free to read and respond to your classmates blogs!

Compare Jane Eyre to other mistreated heroines from children's stories (Cinderella, Rapunzel, Snow White). Given that Jane Eyre is the novel that broke many rules about how a mistreated heroine should act, compare and contrast them to Jane.

What affect does Mrs. Fairfax's description of Rochester have on the reader? How does Brontë achieve this affect?

Comment on the character and appearance of Rochester. How does he measure up to other romantic heroes?
