At the upcoming class, you need to have finished reading Jane Eyre.
Finally, here possible prompts for next week's discussion:
- What connections can you make between the incidents of the St John Rivers episode and events from earlier in the novel? That is, what characters, events, or situations get repeated/echoed in the last part of the book from earlier parts?
- In the St. John Rivers
section, where do we still see signs of Jane being a product of child
abuse, emotional abuse, and neglect? Cite a passage that shows it.
- What kinds of social commentary (complaints or suggestion about the way people or institutions are in her time) can be seen in the St. John Rivers chapters? Cite a passage.
- How EXACTLY are Diana and Mary Rivers portrayed as contrasts to the other stepsisters we've seen? Cite passages and facts to make your answer precise (don't just say they're nice).
- Do you see a call to embrace passion or a warning against it in the St. John chapters?
- What does the plot of Rosamund Oliver add to the story as far as developing St. John's character and Bronte's overall vision and arguments?
- Are there signs that St. John is not being honest when he says he desires no sexual life with Jane? Cite a passage that suggests so.
