Article Evaluation of Theories of Jane Eyre and Feminism
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 5 page article evaluation of theories presented in Jane Eyre. The author of the article does a thorough examination of the themes which occur throughout Bronte’s Jane Eyre. Her analysis includes aspects of elements which have been important in feminist studies which are found in the novel; namely, Jane’s desires for intimacy, recognition, sisterhood, and a change in her gender and class. Bronte wrote the novel in autobiographical style which is also considered by the author as one of the major reasons the novel has such appeal in that Bronte can include certain secrets and intimacies of Jane while still allowing the readers to answer Jane’s plea for answers. The author also tries to decipher the relationship which develops between Jane and Rochester that most readers feel does not provide them satisfaction as Jane never completely opens up to Rochester and leaving herself unfulfilled. In addition to the author’s criticism of the text, the author provides extensive criticism and sources from other materials which would prove beneficial in research for other papers on feminism and Jane Eyre. Bibliography lists 1 source.

Australia’s Glass Ceiling
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page paper discussing the course of change from women’s perspective over the years. It appears that advances for women in general are preceded with intense social change. It was not until the 1970s that women made noticeable and lasting advances in Australia, after the “women’s movement” had been operational for some time. Today, it is Generation X that dictates the need for balance in work and home life. As men seek to achieve more of the balance that has been required of women in the past, likely there will be fewer gender-based differences apparent as well. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
