Jane Eyre essay stuffs,(:

The three essays I chose all have one main thing in common and that is that they all in some way discuss the romance between Jane and Mr. Rochester.

Essay #1: In the first essay I chose, the feminist side of Jane Eyre is mainly discussed. The essay was even published in the Encyclopedia of Feminist Literature. The essay states that Jane Eyre , the character, is used as a basis for what other characters in future novels could be like. The essay also discusses Jane and Mr. Rochester's love and how it is not considered acceptable because of Jane's social class and the fact that she is a female servant.

Essay #2: The 2nd essay I chose was written by Richard Chase. The 2nd essay actually does discuss the love between Jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester. This essay tries to say that Mr. Rochester was Charlotte Bronte's idea of a perfect man, but who actually knows if thats what she was thinking when she made up his character. The essay author says that fear is the only thing that drove Jane away from Mr. Rochester. Her fear of moving on with her life and having her own family, which scares her because she never had a family of her own as a child. Also, another interesting point in the essay I found was where they state that Mr. Rochester loses his eyesight as punishment for attempting to marry Jane while he has another wife.

Essay #3: The third essay I chose was written by Richard Benvenuto. This essay talks about how Jane truly believes and is convinced that everything she says is true and morally right. Jane always stays true to what she believes. When St. John wants to marry her just to have a wife she says no to him. She doesn't believe in getting married just to get married.

jane Eyre analysis

physcilogical spproach.

the force that causes jane to act the way that she does would have to be mr. rochester, jane is absoulutely in love with him. therefore, he causes her to act the way that she does.

an unconcious character is jane eyre, she does not mean to act the way that she does, sometimes she does not even realize that she does things sometimes, for example when she accidently confesses her love for mr. rochester she is shocked at herself.

a concious character would be mr. rochester. he is always aware of what he is doing at all times, he never seems to make mistakes.

a thesis i would have to pick for the novel, jane eyre, would be how love can make you become blind of your actions.

Nabokov Essay BLOG #35!! What is your reaction to this essay? Is it an emotional one or a logical one?

My very last blog! Yay! :D
My reaction to Vladimir Nabokov's essay "Good Readers and Good Writers" was an emotional one definitely. I really truly loved this essay. <3 Nabokov did such a wonderful job with this essay. As I was reading it I was not bored in the least bit, I was actually intrigued to find out what Nabokov had to say about good readers and good writers. His essay made me think about things that I probably would never have thought about before if I had not of read this essay. For example, when he is talking about whether or not we can rely on novels for any type of historical information such as descriptions of times, events or places. I never would have even considered if descriptions of historical things in novels are realistic or made up . I always just assumed that everything I read about times and places in novels were true. I never stopped to think about if the author of whatever novel I was reading even experienced the things they were describing. Now that I have read this essay I realize that things may not be truthful or realistic. Vladimir Nabokov makes a lot of good points such as that one that I mentioned. I found myself agreeing with his statements more frequently than I would have thought I would when I first started to read the essay "Good Readers and Good Writers".

Nabokov Essay Blog #34 What authority does the author have as a writer?

The author, Vladimir Nabokov, has a calm, gentle but yet strong authority when writing this essay "Good Readers and Good Writers". His authority is calm and gentle because he does let you think your own thoughts about his points . He states his points strongly but lets you think about them. Nabokov has lots of characteristics of a good reader and/ or a good writer but lets you pick out your own choices of which ones make a good writer and/ or a good reader. He wants you to choose which of the ten characteristics suit your definition of a good reader and/ a good writer. By letting you make your own decisions about the points in his essay he is actually being persuasive. When I thought about his points more I found myself agreeing with him even though he didn't necessarily need you to agree with him. Nabokov's essay ending up being actually very convincing and persuasive.

Vladimir Nabokov also had a strong authority because in the introduction he does state what he thinks the definition of a good reader and a good writer is. He also has a strong enough authority to not care if you agree with his points or not.

Nabokov Essay Blog #33 Identify the method(s) of introduction. What characterizes the conclusion?

The introduction in "Good Readers and Good Writers" is an unusally long introduction. Vladimir Nabokov actually writes several paragraphs in his introdction of this essay. He uses these several introduction paragraphs to explain what his definitions of good reading and good writing really are. He asks you different types of questions in the essay when he is trying to define what good reading and writing are. Nabokov asks you these different questions because he wants you to use your own imagination to think about the things he is saying. Imagination is one of the things Vladimir Nabokov says you need to be a good reader and/ or a good writer.

The conclusion, of course, is identified because it is as the end of the essay but also because Vladimir Nabokov is trying to tie up all the loose ends in the essay. He pulls all of his mains points together and talks about needing to be able to teach a lesson, enchante the reader, and tell a story all at the same time to be a good reader and a good writer. Saying all of these things together are Vladimir Nabokov's method of summing up the whole essay with the conclusion. The three different things I mentioned before were the characterizations of the conclusion. When he started to put those things together in the same paragraph I could tell that the essay was coming to an end.

Nabokov Essay Blog #32 How is the essay organized?

Nabokov's "Good Readers and Good Writers" is organized, I think, in a typical essay format. Vladimir Nabokov uses paragraphs and lists such as any other normal type of essay would have used. He states his points and then explains why he thinks how he thinks then he lets you form your own opinions about what he has said. He doesn't just state something and expect you to understand and agree with his points that he makes. Vladimir Nabokov also uses rhetorical devices in the essay "Good Readers and Good Writers" to get his points across with out coming across as forceful. Rhetorical devices are a more uncommon approach to essay writing but it is very effective in this essay when used the way that he uses them. He asks a question, or well several questions in a row and asks them in such a way that you just know which answer is the correct one. However, he does not just give you the answer, he does though want you to think about the question that he is asking in the essay. Other than the use of rhetorical devices in this essay it is a perfectly normal organized essay. Vladimir Nabokov did a beautiful job with the skillful writing in this essay. (:

Nabokov Essay Blog #31 What passsages capture your attention, arouse a reaction? These can be ideas or elements of language.

In the essay "Good Readers and Good Writers" by Vladimir Nabokov he writes a list of ten characteristics that his college class made that a good reader and/ or a good writer should have. He then says to pick four from this list that make a good writer or reader. This part of the essay really grabbed my attention because it is like saying that almost anyone could be a good reader or a good writer if they really set their minds to it. The four characteristics that his college students picked were: (1) having a good imagination, (2) having a memory, (3) having a dictionary and (4) having at least some artistic sense. I also would have picked these four characteristics out of his list of ten. This part of the essay was most interesting to me also because it was really the only part of the essay that actually discussed what things were needed to be a good reader. He says "I use the word reader very loosely..." (Nabokov, page 2) He means that anyone could be a reader, it doesn't matter what you read. He is trying to say that he doesn't just classify people that read all the time as readers. He thinks "reader" is a very general statement.
