'Jane Eyre' & 'Sense and Sensibility'
[ send me this paper ]
A 9 page comparative analysis of the main characters in these two novels. The writer posits that Austen and Bronte made use of characterization, dialogue and narration to show how Elinor, Marianne and Jane represent the intellectual and passionate properties of womanhood, with the further intent of reflecting control of passion rather than hysteria/madness. The writer proposes that in every instance, the characters' inward reflections are meant to support a revision of the female experience, not to support archetypes. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
