Gender Perspectives in "Jane Eyre": Analyzing Brontë's Intentions and Impact

On September 9, we will engage in a critical discussion of "Jane Eyre," focusing on its portrayal of gender roles and the intertwining of Brontë's life with her literary work. Key questions include the agreement or disagreement between scholars Rigby and Gold about the novel and its author, the interchangeability of Brontë and her character, and Gaskell’s portrayal of Brontë. We will explore how these insights shift our understanding of the narrative and its purpose. The homework will require a reflective response on "Jane Eyre's" overall significance.
