Full textAbstract:
Sedan 1968 har det producerats lättlästa böcker i Sverige. Lättlästa böcker som riktar sig till vuxna läsare som har någon form av svårighet med att läsa. Den här uppsatsen presenterar en komparativ analys av Charlotte Brontës Jane Eyre och en svensk lättläst adaptation av romanen. Uppsatsen handlar om vad som händer när ett litterärt verk omarbetas till en lättläst text. Analysen berör skillnader och likheter i vad som berättas och hur det berättas. De båda verken diskuteras parallellt. Det ges även en presentation av vad lättlästa böcker är. Resultatet visar på att det finns skillnader mellan de två verken och att adaptationen är en mycket förkortad och förenklad version av originalet, där det både har tagits bort men även gjorts ändringar i handlingen.

Premiere partie : jane : quete spirituelle ou voyage symbolique vers le centre jane, orpheline part a la quete du bonheur. Tout au long de son chemin, a chaque etape de son periple symbolisee par une demeure, l'heroine connait des tribulations; elle doit faire face aussi chaque fois a un severe protagoniste: a gateshead, mrs reed la rejette; a lowood, brocklehurst seme privation et mort; thornfield abrite la tentation de la chair symbolisee par le maitre du domaine, mr rochester qui la fait fuir du paradis terrestre; moorhouse voudrait faire d'elle une martyre soumise au fanatisme de st john mais ferndean l'attend au dernier detour du chemin pour la faire penetrer au sein de la beatitude. Durant ce long voyage regne une atmosphere etrange que les elements, reflets de l'ame et de la lutte de jane viennent assombrir ou eclairer. Deuxieme partie : rochester : epreuves et initiation etre de roc, de feu et de sang, ayant connu une jeunesse tumultueuse et trop attire par les desirs terrestres, il doit subir une initiation douloureuse, veritable transmutation alchimique l'obligeant a accepter les epreuves et la mort symbolique avant de le faire renaitre a une autre vie aupres de jane venue seulement alors le rejoindre. Troisieme partie : charlotte : ecriture et realisation charlotte bronte se cachait derriere ses heros. A travers la joie que lui apporta l'ecriture se revele l'experience poignante que fut sa vie, initiation douloureuse durant laquelle les privations, la souffrance et la mort sevirent dans le sombre presbytere de haworth; puis son coeur mis a nu brula sur le brasier ardent du renoncement a son retour de bruxelles. Cette grande et tragique experience sentimentale allait lui ouvrir pourtant toute grandes les portes de l'art. Combien immense fut l'allegement du poids de la vie, puissante sa vengeance, epanoui enfin son etre que l'inhibition avait fui lorsque le succes la fit penetrer dans le jardin de la notoriete eternelle mais charlotte devait succomber prematurement a ce bonheur trop tard venu malheureusement<br>First part : jane : her spiritual quest or symbolical journey towards the centre jane, an orphan sets out in search of happiness. All along the road, at each stage of her progress symbolised by a dwelling place, the heroine meets trials. Each time she has to cope with a severe protagonist too : at gateshead, mrs reed rejects her; at lowood, brocklehurst is sowing starvation and death; thornfield shelters temptation symbolised by the master of the estate, mr rochester who causes her to fly the garden of eden; moorhouse would like to make a martyr of her under the influence of st john's fanaticism but ferndean is waiting for her at the last turning of her way and leads her last steps towards bliss. Throughout that long journey a strange atmosphere is prevailing, enhanced by the elements reflecting jane's feelings and struggle. Second part : rochester's trials and initiation a son of rock and fire, having experienced an eventful youth, too much attracted by earthly desires he must undergo a painful initiation, a genuine alchemical transmutation in which he almost meets his doom. But this death is metaphorical, his suffering and wounds symbolical and soon he comes to life again to enjoy the return of jane for ever. Third part : charlotte : writing and accomplishment charlotte bronte is in fact hiding herself behind her heroes. Throughout the enthralling experience of writing, the heartbreaking events of her life are revealed; it was indeed an excruciating initiation : not only did hardship and death reign supreme over the dismal parsonage but after her return from brussels her heart, laying bare, burnt on the fiery furnace of renunciation. And yet her sentimental suffering opened the way to her genius and art. When success opened the door to an eternal fame, the burden of her life, her frustration and inhibition vanished. Unfortunately at the prospect of happiness which had come too late, charlotte was about to meet an unti

Full textAbstract:
A presente dissertação tem como objetivo investigar a sedimentação sócio-histórica do romance de estreia de Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre (1847), a partir de seu foco narrativo. Ao atentar à fortuna crítica da obra, em especial às resenhas que seguiram a publicação do romance e às críticas materialista e feminista, distinguem-se duas tendências, dois modos de entender Jane Eyre. Por meio da análise de trechos do romance, visa-se ilustrar como essas duas vias de leitura são possíveis por conta da posição ambígua da narradora-personagem dentro da sociedade vitoriana. Expandindo o conceito de Terry Eagleton do in between, argumenta-se que, por estar sempre em uma posição entre as classes alta e baixa e por desejar inserção, Jane relata e denuncia as violências que permeiam a sociedade vitoriana e, ao mesmo tempo, incorpora o discurso dominante, mesmo quando esse vai contra ela mesma. Entende-se, assim, que o romance retrata a situação contraditória da classe média e o impacto de viver nessa posição na própria consciência do indivíduo, isto é, na sua visão de si e do mundo, como observado na voz da narradora de Jane Eyre.<br>The aim of this dissertation is to investigate the social and historical sedimentation of Charlotte Brontës 1847 debut novel, Jane Eyre, by exploring its point of view. Drawing from the novels literary criticism, especially from the reviews that followed its publication and from the Feminist and Marxist criticism, two different ways of understanding Jane Eyre are distinguished. The close reading of excerpts from Charlotte Brontës work aims at highlighting that these two readings are possible due to the narrators ambiguous position in the Victorian social structure. By expanding Terry Eagletons concept of the in between, it is discussed that, since Jane is from the very beginning of the novel in a position between the upper and lower classes and she longs for inclusion, she accounts on and denounces the violence that permeated the Victorian society, just as, at the same time, she incorporates the dominant discourse even when it speaks against herself. Thus, it is understood that the novel portrays the contradictory situation of the petty bourgeoisie and the impact of being in such a position on the individuals consciousness, as it is seen in Jane Eyres narrators voice.

Previous issue date: 2014-02-28<br>Financiadora de Estudos e Projetos<br>This dissertation aims to investigate how the Charlotte Brontë s literary project presents in the novel, Jane Eyre (1847), through female authorship, and, as its transposition into Cinema, the movie version by Cary Joji Fukunaga´s Jane Eyre (2011) occurs. The literary project of the author focuses on the issue of gender and its concern was to give voice to the women of her time. The director´s project for this movie comes from melodrama to the triumph of love search. The purpose of analysis is to understand how the interpretation of this source-novel occurs in the 21st century, with the aim of examining how this story is reread, seeking current interpretive understanding of the novel through the film. Thus, this study will demonstrate the importance of the periodization as proposed by Jameson (1992) for the reading of the novel and its transcreation, according to Campos (2004), considering the relationship between economic s, political, social and aesthetic characteristics of each period, as also teaches Candido (1967). The research was developed through the reading the novel, of the theoretical works about the author as well as the director and analysis of filmic narrative.<br>Esta dissertação tem por objetivo demonstrar como o projeto literário de Charlotte Brontë se apresenta no romance Jane Eyre (1847), por meio da autoria feminina, como ocorre sua transposição para o Cinema, na versão fílmica, de Cary Joji Fukunaga, Jane Eyre (2011). O projeto literário da autora concentra-se na questão de gênero e sua preocupação foi a de dar voz à mulher de seu tempo. O projeto do diretor para esse filme parte do melodrama para o triunfo da busca pelo amor. O intuito de análise é perceber como ocorre a interpretação desse romance-fonte no século XXI, com o objetivo de analisar como essa história é relida, buscando a compreensão interpretativa desse romance-fonte na atualidade pelo olhar fílmico. Neste âmbito, este estudo demonstrará a importância da periodização conforme proposto por Jameson (1992) para a leitura do romance e de sua transcriação, de acordo com Campos (2004), considerando as relações entre as características econômicas, políticas, sociais e estéticas de cada período, conforme também nos ensina Candido (1967). A pesquisa foi desenvolvida por meio da leitura do romance, de obras teóricas sobre a autora e o diretor e análise da narrativa cinematográfica.

Although the scope of this project is not the process of adaptation per se, some concepts and methods from adaptation theory are necessary in order to arrive at a critical view of what has happened in the process of transposition from a nineteenth-century novel, Jane Eyre, to two filmic versions with a gap of almost fifty years between both.
O objetivo do presente estudo é analisar duas versões cinematográficas do romance Jane Eyre, de Charlotte Brontë (1847): a adaptação de 1944, dirigida por Robert Stevenson, e a adaptação de 1996 dirigida por Franco Zeffirelli, focando na maneira como os elementos literários são manipulados para construir a narrativa do filme, desta forma reconstruindo um determinado período histórico. Embora o escopo deste projeto não compreenda o processo de adaptação per se, alguns conceitos e métodos dentro das teorias de adaptação são necessários para que se possa chegar a uma visão crítica do processo de transposição de um romance do século dezenove, Jane Eyre, para duas versões cinematográficas produzidas com cinqüenta anos de diferença entre ambas.

Full textAbstract:
An important and in fact essential feature throughout Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre is the gothic elements. At first sight Jane Eyre may not look like a gothic novel. However, it includes a lot of gothic features that appear throughout the novel such as ghost, dark secrets and supernatural experiences. The aim of this essay is to show that the gothic elements in the novel have the function of developing the storyline as well as the characters. Importantly, the gothic features affect the relationship between the two main characters both positively and negatively. The results of this essay show that the gothic elements in the novel have a greater function than to frighten the reader. They do not only help develop the main character but they also show the reader Jane’s inner passions and desires. The gothic features are also central in developing Mr Rochester’s character in the eyes of the reader, as they help illustrate his complicated background as well as his growing closeness to Jane. The gothic features are thus central to characterization, and ultimately crucial in building the relationship between the two main characters.

Full textAbstract:
This essay analyses and compares gender construction in Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë and Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë. The focus is on the construction of the female and male gender of selected female and male characters. Using the knowledge that gender is highly dependent on the social and cultural environment and that family relations often impact gender, the aim of the essay is to examine if the two authors use similar methods to construct gender. Additionally, the aim is to analyse if the novels are critical towards Victorian gender norms. As feminist criticism specializes in gender analysis, this literary critical approach is used. Furthermore, additional information about the historical context was used to analyse and compare the novels. The comparison demonstrates that Emily Brontë and Charlotte Brontë mainly use the same methods to construct the female and male gender in their novels. It also illustrates that both novels are critical towards Victorian gender norms.

Previous issue date: 2015-04-22<br>CAPES - Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior<br>Literature has always been marked by the presence male writers, and texts called canons were written by men. Thus, for a long time women's representation was made only by male literary tradition. In this context, the women writers were trying to enter, searching a space and trying to create a literary tradition of its own. Jane Austen (1775-1817) and Charlotte Brontë (1816-1855) are examples of authors who innovated English literature, as both presented a literary production that stands out for critical and reflective thoughts on the position of women this in the English society of their time. Pride and Prejudice and Jane Eyre are presented as controversial works, due to bring out many controversial points and create debates about representation of women in English society between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Using the Comparative Literature as a basis for the implementation of this research, we´re going to analyze the representation of women in English society of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries comparing the works Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen and Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Brontë. As representatives of English literature, the authors stand out for their unique languages and their works. Each in its own way, and through its characters, made important contributions to the female literary tradition that formed. However, many literary critics argue the idea that the authors present different representations of women's role in English society of their time, generating controversy surrounding their work. It should be noted, however, that the authors are the result of different centuries, literary periods and movements and therefore had different perceptions about the society in which they were living. But above all, through their works, we noticed that the authors showed how the women’s representation changes in the face of historical and social changes in British society during the Georgian and Victorian Eras. We believe that this research will also be used to investigate and analyze such opinions. Thus, this study will bring a contribution to the female authorship studies, since the works were written by authors who deal with issues of women's invisibility. And the analysis of works will show the representation of society from a female point of view.<br>A literatura sempre foi um campo marcado pela presença masculina, de modo que textos chamados cânones foram escritos por homens. Assim, por muito tempo a representação feminina foi feita apenas pela tradição literária masculina. É nesse contexto que as escritoras foram se inserindo, buscando um espaço e tentando criar uma tradição literária só sua. Jane Austen (1775-1817) e Charlotte Brontë (1816-1855) são exemplos de autoras que inovaram a literatura inglesa, pois ambas apresentaram uma produção literária que se destaca pelo caráter crítico e reflexivo sobre a sociedade inglesa da época e da posição da mulher nesta. Orgulho e Preconceito e Jane Eyre se apresentam como obras controversas, em razão de trazer à tona muitos pontos polêmicos e de criar debates acerca da representação da mulher na sociedade inglesa entre os séculos XVIII e XIX. Tendo a Literatura Comparada como base para a execução desta pesquisa, buscamos analisar qual a representação da mulher na sociedade inglesa dos séculos XVIII e XIX por meio da comparação das obras Orgulho e Preconceito, de Jane Austen, e Jane Eyre, de Charlotte Brontë. Como representantes da literatura inglesa, as autoras se destacam por suas linguagens peculiares e por suas obras. Cada uma, a seu modo, e por meio de suas personagens, deram importantes contribuições para a tradição literária feminina que se formava. Muitos críticos literários defendem a ideia de que as autoras apresentam diferentes representações do papel da mulher na sociedade inglesa da época, gerando polêmica em torno de seus trabalhos. Ressalta-se, entretanto, que as autoras são frutos de diferentes séculos, períodos e movimentos literários e, por isso, tinham diferentes percepções acerca da sociedade em que estavam inseridas. Mas, acima disso tudo, percebemos que, por meio de suas obras, as autoras evidenciaram como a representação feminina muda frente às mudanças históricas e sociais da sociedade inglesa durante os períodos georgiano e vitoriano. Acreditamos que esta pesquisa também servirá para investigar e analisar tais opiniões. Deste modo, este estudo trará uma contribuição para os estudos de autoria feminina, uma vez que as obras foram escritas por autoras que lidavam com as questões da invisibilidade feminina conferida às mulheres de seu tempo. E a análise de obras que exprimem a perspectiva feminina mostrará a leitura da sociedade sob o ponto de vista feminino.

Full textAbstract:
This study is a literary analysis of Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre, which focuses on how female and male characters approach religion. A stark contrast is presented between the two approaches - differing according to gender - which point to two different forms of religion. The novel highlights one form, the religion of the heart, as the superior form as it empowers women to achieve spiritual, mental and physical independence. The analytical approach is based upon Sandra Gilbert and Susan Gubar’s theory of imprisonment/escape as well as Carol Gilligan’s discussion of ethic of care and ethic of justice. Through these theories my study shows that the function of religion in the novel is not to discredit it, but to bring to the fore the disadvantages and benefits of religion. In the character Jane a biblical feminism is displayed which challenges the novel's patriarchal society.

Strovas, Karen Beth. "Sleep and Sleeplessness in the Victorian Novel, Jane Eyre to Dracula." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2011. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/cgu_etd/44.
Full textAbstract:
Victorian inquisitiveness about sleep and dysfunctions of sleep is exemplified in novels published during the fifty-year period from Jane Eyre (1847) to Dracula (1897). This inquisitiveness foreshadows modern medical sleep science and immerses the reading public in a body of popular literature that subverts the concept of "normal" sleep. My dissertation explores the ways in which Victorian fiction brings physiological and psychological female concerns to the fore through the plot devices of sleep and sleeplessness. I examine the Victorians' diverse interpretations of illness, physical and sexual vulnerability, moral insanity, criminality, and anxiety to determine the thematic and narratological ways in which these issues are linked to sleeping and waking states. Drawing on feminist literary criticism, cultural historicism, and medical insight from the early nineteenth-century to the present, I argue that Charlotte Brontë, Wilkie Collins, and Bram Stoker use sleep and wakefulness as vehicles to navigate gendered fluctuations of power and loss. Jane Eyre, The Woman in White, and Dracula each present sleep as a gendered space in which power is contested. I argue that sleeplessness and restlessness are the methods women adopt, either on purpose or unintentionally, to realize self-sufficiency and protect themselves from patriarchal jurisdiction and other social restrictions on women. Women must reject their instinctual desires for a certain amount of sleep so that they can maintain agency and authority over their bodies and narratives. Implicit in the novels is the idea that deep sleep is a mechanism for achieving health and moral strength of character. However, explicitly and without apology, the novels use the trope of sleep for women as a violent instrument of loss, infection, powerlessness, and weakness. The cultural and medical artifacts of the time suggest that deep, indulgent sleep is the only way to achieve or maintain health. Yet Victorian authors write sleep as a sure road to incapacitation and subjugation. Brontë, Collins, and Stoker demonstrate that a woman's mind is only as healthy as her sleep, while her body is always safer awake.

Full textAbstract:
In Charlotte Bront's 'Jane Eyre' and 'Shirley', an attentive reader is able to find more than meets the eye. While any contemporary reader reads these stories and enjoys them - or not, the reader who did it by the time of their first publication, who was used to reading great works, would actually appreciate them by interacting with the text and understanding their intertextual relations with literary works such as the Bible. Recognizing the dialogue between 'Jane Eyre' and 'Shirley' with other literary works, mainly the Bible, enables the reader, among other things, to make guesses on the characters' future. Such reading has been lost due to the lack of Biblical knowledge by most contemporary readers. In this sense, my work intends to analyze 'Jane Eyre' and 'Shirley' by comparing their plots and the way they confirm or frustrate the reader's expectations towards the future of those characters having as reference the stories from Scriptures. Besides analyzing these novels, though, I propose a discussion on the types of reader who could possibly read and appreciate them. Also, I draw the religious scenario in which they were written in order to see the Biblical allusions through the lenses of the historical reader, understanding the predictions he or she would make, to observe if the allusions confirm or deny the Biblical text.<br>Em Jane Eyre e Shirley, de Charlotte Brontë, um leitor atento é capaz de encontrar mais do que os olhos podem ver. Enquanto qualquer leitor contemporâneo lê as histórias e se diverte ou não, o leitor que o fez na época de suas primeiras publicações, que estava habituado a ler grandes obras, iria realmente aprecia-las ao interagir com o texto e compreender suas relações intertextuais com obras literárias como a Bíblia. Reconhecer o diálogo entre Jane Eyre e Shirley com outras obras literárias, sobretudo a Bíblia, habilita o leitor, entre outras coisas, a fazer suposições a respeito do futuro das personagens. Tal leitura tem estado perdida devido à falta de conhecimento Bíblico por parte da maioria dos leitores contemporâneos. Neste sentido, meu trabalho pretende analisar Jane Eyre e Shirley, comparando seus enredos e a forma com que confirmam ou frustram as expectativas do leitor com respeito ao futuro daquelas personagens tendo como referência os relatos das Escrituras. Além de analisar os romances, no entanto, proponho uma discussão sobre os tipos de leitores que poderiam ler e apreciá-los. Igualmente, traço o cenário religioso no qual eles foram escritos, a fim de ver as alusões Bíblicas através das lentes do leitor histórico, compreendendo as previsões que ele ou ela poderiam fazer, para observar se as alusões confirmam ou negam o texto Bíblico.

Denna uppsats syftar till att jämföra filmatiseringen av Jane Eyre med det litterära verket. Filmatiseringen jämförs mot en kvalitativ narrativanalys av verket för att se likheter och skillnader dem emellan. Dessa likheter och skillnader blir grunden för att se om filmatiseringen förmedlar samma bild av epokerna och de teman som det litterära verket lyfter. Vidare tittar denna studie på filmens för- och nackdelar i skolundervisningen.De resultat och slutsatser som denna analys funnit visar att filmen inte kan ersätta boken i undervisningen. Filmen kan dock användas som komplement och/eller jämföras med boken. Filmen kan även fungera som ett självständigt inslag i undervisningen gällande typiska drag från epoker och teman. Jane Eyre som film och undervisningsredskap är enligt denna analys fullt möjlig.

This essay investigates the narration in Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre by applying narratologist Great Olson’s model of unreliable narration to Jane, the novel’s narrator. Further, the novel discusses how Jane’s reliability affects the portrayal of the character Bertha Mason. The essay argues that the narrator’s characterization of Bertha Mason is deliberately misleading.

Full textAbstract:
The discursive and critical positions of the ‘classic’ nineteenth-century novel, particularly the woman’s novel, in the field of adaptation studies have been dominated by long-standing concerns about textual fidelity and the generic processes of the text-screen transfer. The sociocultural patterns of adaptation criticism have also been largely ensconced in representations of literary women on screen. Taking a decisive twist from tradition, this thesis traces the evolution of representations of masculinity in the malleable characters of Rochester and Heathcliff in film and television adaptations of Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre and Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights between 1939 and 2009. Concepts of masculinity have been a neglected area of enquiry in studies of the ‘classic’ novel on screen. Adaptations of the Brontës’ novels, as well as the adapted novels of other ‘classic’ women authors such as Jane Austen, George Eliot and Elizabeth Gaskell, increasingly foreground male character in traditionally female-oriented narratives or narratives whose primary protagonist is female. This thesis brings together industrial histories, textual frames and sociocultural influences that form the wider contexts of the adaptations to demonstrate how male characterisation and different representations of masculinity are reformulated and foregrounded through three different adaptive histories of the narratives of Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights. Through the contours of the film and television industries, the application of text and context analysis, and wider sociocultural considerations of each period an understanding of how Rochester and Heathcliff have been transmuted and centralised within the adaptive history of the Brontë novel.

Full textAbstract:
This essay deals with the issue of readability, the term readability referring to what it is that makes a reader perceive a text as difficult or easy. Some factors are related to the reader but there are also those which depend on the text as such, one such factor being style which is the one that will be focused on in this essay. The investigation is based on the analysis and comparison of a complete version and an abridged version of Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre, and the questions to be investigated are whether the author of the abridged version has succeeded in making it less complicated, and if he or she has done so by considering stylistic features said to be affecting readability. Further, this essay is divided into four chapters. The first chapter contains the background for the analysis and is divided into 4 parts dealing with the following aspects: the definition of readability, early research on readability, later research on readability, and difficult and easy language. Chapter two describes the limitations made and the method used for the analysis which involves looking at the noun phrase, the verb phrase, and the clause. Chapter three gives a detailed description of the corpus investigated. Moving on to chapter four, this is where the results of the investigation are presented. This is done by dividing it into four different subchapters, each of them dealing with issues related to the different areas described in the method. Each of the subchapters then begins with the presentation of the results for each edition which is then followed by a comparative discussion. The essay ends with a conclusion part where conclusions regarding the four areas presented in the analysis are made along with the answering of research questions.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this essay is to examine the importance of class in Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre and its impact on how the characters perceive one another. Taking a closer look at the attitude the characters, John Reed, Jane Eyre and Mrs. Reed have towards each other and how the influence of the Victorian society came about. Through a Marxist perspective one can see the similarities between the society that Jane Eyre was written in and the society taking place within the novel. Where the accessibility of money determined what class one belonged to as well as how to behave accordingly by it. By analyzing the members of higher social standing, John and Mrs. Reed, one can see how they conform to the norms of the social class that they belong to which expresses itself in the way they both perceive and treat Jane in the novel. Jane however has an entirely different outlook. As she searches for a class to belong to, she realizes that her background is the main reason for her receiving the treatment that she does from John and Mrs. Reed.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis closely analyses the emotion of fear in Charlotte Brontë’s Jane
Eyre. The hypothesis that underpins my study is that fear is fundamental to the
shaping and orienting of the text. Specifically, I argue that Jane’s fear of sexual
subjugation understood as bodily and sexual possession and subordination and
her responses to this fear provide a thematic arc out of which Brontë develops the
form and structure of the narrative. My study follows the trajectory of the
thematic arc from the beginning of the narrative to the novel’s last pages.
As a reading of Jane Eyre through the lens of fear my thesis offers new
interpretations of key aspects of the novel. In particular, it explores Jane’s fear of
sexual subjugation, analysing the ways Brontë channels this fear through the
deployment of the much neglected tropes and motifs of ‘The Turk’ from the
novel’s first pages. My third and fourth chapters engage in some detail with these
Oriental tropes in which sexuality and female domination are implicit. Chapter
Three establishes the centrality of the Turkish tropes to the red room set-piece in
generating the thematic arc and the foregrounding of Jane’s fear of sexual
subjugation. Chapter Four explores the ‘Oriental subtext’ that furnishes Brontë
with a means of expressing the intense eroticism of Jane and Rochester’s
relationship and Jane’s fear of sexual domination. In doing so, my thesis offers a
reconsideration of Brontë’s ‘slavery’ metaphors and a re-engagement with the
figure of Bertha Mason Rochester, both of which flow from this approach. The
thesis provides strong historical and cultural evidence in support of my argument
that the slavery of the novel refers to white, Ottoman slavery, rather than West Indian or Caribbean slavery.
The final chapters of the thesis encapsulate Jane’s sojourn with the Rivers
family at Morton and Moor House and pay particular attention to her
relationship with St John Rivers as a catalyst to her overcoming fear. Jane’s
ultimate return to Rochester at Ferndean, the dissolution of her fear and her
happy marriage complete the trajectory of the thematic arc to the final pages of
the novel.
In my thesis Jane is figured as a timid, fearful child who, as a mature
woman, overcomes fear and rebels against oppressive societal structures. This
contrasts with depictions of Jane Eyre as a feisty, rebellious child who, as an
adult, subsides into a patriarchal marriage. This alternative perspective provides a
reading of the novel’s conclusion as more aesthetically satisfactory and unified
than many previous scholars have proposed.<br>Thesis (PhD Doctorate)<br>Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)<br>School of Hum, Lang & Soc Sc<br>Arts, Education and Law<br>Full Text

Full textAbstract:
While some people enjoy reading full-length novels, most people have a difficult time concentrating on reading or even finding the time to do it. Audio books, especially abridged ones, may be a way for people to enjoy fiction without having to read the whole novel and they can listen to the text at the same time as they do other things. The purpose of this essay is to study whether the abridged audio books can be a valid replacement for the full novel in terms of genre. The essay compares Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë in its full length with three abridged audio books of the same novel. In these three audio versions the original text has been abridged in varying degrees so that the shortest version runs to fifty minutes, the second shortest to three hours and the longest to six hours. The three genres I focus on are the Romance, the Gothic novel and the female Bildungsroman. I present genre-specific features and then analyze how these characteristics are affected in the abridged versions of Jane Eyre.

O objetivo desta dissertação é apresentar uma leitura de O Morro dos Ventos Uivantes (1847), de Emily Brontë, e de Jane Eyre (1847), de Charlotte Brontë, com foco nas convenções góticas contidas nas duas obras e observando as maneiras como tais convenções interferem nos movimentos das duas protagonistas, Catherine e Jane, cada uma lutando para se adaptar ao seu espaço e, ao mesmo tempo, para realizar seus anseios. Apesar de as duas obras serem estruturalmente diferentes uma da outra, ambas compartilham uma atmosfera gótica intensa, bem como uma consequente densidade psicológica que influencia a disposição mental das duas protagonistas. A leitura dos dois romances foi conduzida com a finalidade de explorar as relações encontradas entre os aspectos estruturais, sociais e psicológicos envolvidos, ressaltando os elementos góticos que representam os desafios que Catherine e Jane são forçadas a enfrentar. A obra The Coherence of Gothic Conventions (1986), da crítica literária Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, é utilizada para identificar e contextualizar a capacidade que as imagens góticas têm de traduzir o peso imposto pelas convenções sociais sobre o processo natural de crescimento das duas protagonistas. Considerando que esse peso é consideravelmente ampliado pelas práticas sociais ligadas a questões de gênero, foi explorado o conceito de Gótico Feminino, como apresentado pela Professora Carol Margaret Davison. Especial atenção é reservada para as imagens relacionadas com espaço – o espaço psicológico necessário para o crescimento emocional das protagonistas; e o espaço físico, que determina onde e como elas devem se movimentar. Aqui o suporte teórico é oferecido pelas poéticas dos elementos primitivos, de Gaston Bachelard, para análise do corpo de imagens apresentadas nos dois romances. A conclusão comenta as soluções encontradas por Catherine Earnshaw e Jane Eyre para abrir caminho e superar os obstáculos que se lhes apresentam; e também ressalta o quanto as convenções góticas conseguem revelar sobre a estrutura social que elas representam.<br>This thesis consists of a reading of Emily Brontë‘s Wuthering Heights (1847) and Charlotte Brontë‘s, Jane Eyre (1847), focusing on the body of Gothic conventions they hold, and the ways in which such conventions interfere with the movements of the two female protagonists, Catherine and Jane, each struggling to fit into their space, while trying to accomplish their desires. Although the two works are structurally different in several ways, they share an intense Gothic atmosphere and its consequent psychological density, which influences the mental frame of the two protagonists. In order to explore the relations among the structural, social and psychological aspects involved, a reading of the novels has been conducted, focusing on the presence of Gothic elements that stand for the challenges Catherine and Jane are bound to face. Literary critic Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick‘s work The Coherence of Gothic Conventions (1986) is used to identify and contextualise the capacity of Gothic imagery to reveal the weight of social conventions upon the natural process of growth of the two protagonists. Inasmuch as the pressure becomes intensified by the rules of gender settlements, the concept of Female Gothic is explored, as presented by Professor Carol Margaret Davison. Particular attention is paid to the imagery related to space – psychological space for the protagonists to grow emotionally, and physical space, as determinant of where and how they must move. Here the theoretical support is offered by Gaston Bachelard‘s poetics of the primitive elements, unveiling the body of images presented in the two novels. The conclusion indicates the solutions found by Catherine Earnshaw and by Jane Eyre to find their way and overcome the obstacles they meet; with comments on how revealing Gothic imagery is of the social conventions it represents.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis attempts to clarify how the authors incorporated their theological beliefs in their writing to more clearly discover, although modern audiences often enjoy both authors, why Charlotte Bronte was unimpressed with Jane Austen. The thesis is an examination of the ways in which Jane Austen and Charlotte Bronte interact with the Evangelical Reformation within the Anglican Church in their novels Mansfield Park and Jane Eyre, respectively. Both authors, as daughters of Anglican clergymen, were aware of and influenced by the movement, but at varying degrees. This project begins with a brief explanation of the state of the Anglian Church and beginnings of the Evangelical Reformation. The thesis then examines George Austen's influence on his daughter and the characters and text of Mansfield Park to observe the ways in which traditional Anglicanism and tenets of Evangelicalism are discussed in the novel, revealing more clearly where Austen's personal beliefs aligned. Similarly, the project then analyzes Patrick Bronte's influence on Charlotte Bronte and evaluates the characters and text of Jane Eyre to mark the significance of the Evangelical movement on Charlotte Bronte. After studying these works and religious components of their lives, the thesis argues that Austen's traditionally Anglican subtlety with the subject of religion did not appeal to Bronte's passion for the subject, clearly inspired by the Evangelical Reformation.<br>Master of Arts<br>Charlotte Brontë was unimpressed with the writing of Jane Austen, which is surprising as the audience for one author usually also enjoys the other author as well. Although the specific reason for Brontë’s distaste for Austen is unknown, this thesis proposes that Brontë disagreed with how Austen portrayed Evangelicalism. Both Brontë and Austen were Anglican clergymen’s daughters, and they both grew up with an awareness of the Evangelical Reformation occurring in the Anglican Church. Brontë was influenced by the movement more, which this thesis shows after first outlining the Evangelical Reformation, exploring Austen’s relationship with it and how it appears in Mansfield Park, and then examining Brontë’s relationship with the Reformation and how it appears in Jane Eyre as well. This thesis contains brief historical and biographical sketches of the authors and their families, literary examinations of the novels Mansfield Park and Jane Eyre to study how the authors interacted with the Evangelical ideals, and an analysis that looks at faith in these two novels in a comparative way to explain why Brontë might have disagreed with and therefore disliked Austen’s writing.

Full textAbstract:
This is a comparative analysis of two film adaptations (from 1943 and 2011) of Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre, with a focus on the male characters. My aim is to study how patriarchal control is adapted for the screen, compared to the original novel. The focus is on the characters John Reed, Mr. Brocklehurst, Mr. Rochester and St. John Rivers. The analysis is about how the filmmakers depict the essence of the characters, why they chose to do so and what determinants influenced the two films; furthermore, how this affects Jane’s character and her pursuit for independence. The thesis of this essay is that there is a difference in the interpretation of the male characters in the two films compared to the novel Jane Eyre and this affects Jane’s pursuit for independence. My conclusion is that although the films differ in narration and filming technique, the strongest impact on the discourse is the changed script due to politics and production code.

Previous issue date: 2013-04-22<br>Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES<br>Jane Eyre, the most applauded novel by the English writer Charlotte Brontë, has been investigated by the literary critics from the last decades from many different perspectives, due to the complex and unsettling quality of this classic formation novel (bildungsroman). Among the most visible critical tendencies, we can emphasize the feminist reading of this Brontë‟s narrative, which, in the 1970‟s, meaningfully contributed to the insertion of this work in the canon of the western feminine writing. Nevertheless, more recently, some authors have been inclined to study the religiosity of the novel, connecting this issue with other elements of the narrative, without presenting, however, a deeper reflection about the manifestations of sacredness in the novel. We believe that these manifestations are mainly linked to the modern notion of subjectivity, a concept which was improved and exalted by the romantic movement, an influential aesthetic movement, originated and developed during the decades preceding the publication of Brontë‟s novel. Therefore, the present thesis aims at promoting an interpretation of Jane Eyre from the sacred perspective, related to the romantic notion of subjectivity, and also to the concept of drama, which permeates the protagonist‟s formation process. In this process, the opposition social / natural symbolically corresponds to the opposition profane / sacred. Society and nature are the places where the heroine transits, experiencing conflicts and sufferings, which are indispensable for her formation process and for the maturation of her character. We attempt to demonstrate, thus, that although the protagonist‟s formation trajectory marked by dramatic events occurs in the direction of a preparation to the practical, profane and social world, this trajectory does not prescind of a symbolical relation with sacredness, which is mainly expressed through the mystical relation established between the subjectivity and nature. In this way, we hope our research contributes to the interdisciplinary literary studies, generally, and to the critical studies of this important novel by Charlotte Brontë, more specifically.<br>Jane Eyre, o mais aclamado romance da escritora inglesa Charlotte Brontë, tem sido investigado pela crítica literária das últimas décadas sob as mais diversas perspectivas, devido ao caráter complexo e inquietante desse clássico romance de formação (bildungsroman). Dentre as tendências críticas mais visíveis, destaca-se a leitura feminista dessa narrativa de Brontë, que, na década de 1970, contribuiu, significativamente, para a inserção dessa obra no cânone da escrita feminina ocidental. No entanto, mais recentemente, alguns autores têm se voltado para a temática da religiosidade do romance, relacionando essa questão a outros elementos da narrativa, sem apresentar, contudo, uma reflexão mais profunda acerca das manifestações do sagrado no romance. Acreditamos que essas manifestações estão vinculadas, principalmente, à noção moderna de subjetividade, conceito aprimorado e exaltado pelo Romantismo, influente movimento estético, originado e desenvolvido nas décadas anteriores à publicação do romance de Brontë. Assim, a presente tese tenciona promover uma interpretação de Jane Eyre pelo viés da sacralidade, atrelada à noção romântica de subjetividade, e também ao conceito de dramaticidade, o qual permeia o processo de formação da protagonista. Neste, a oposição social / natural corresponde, simbolicamente, à oposição profano / sagrado, sendo a sociedade e a natureza os domínios por onde a heroína transita, vivenciando conflitos e sofrimentos, imprescindíveis para a sua experiência formativa e para a maturação de seu caráter. Procuramos demonstrar, assim, que, apesar de a trajetória formativa da protagonista, pontuada por eventos dramáticos, ocorrer no sentido da preparação para o mundo prático, profano e social, esse percurso não prescinde da relação simbólica com a sacralidade, que se manifesta, principalmente, por meio da relação mística estabelecida entre a subjetividade e a natureza. Desse modo, esperamos que a nossa pesquisa contribua para os estudos literários interdisciplinares, de modo geral, e para o arcabouço crítico desse importante romance de Charlotte Brontë, mais especificamente.

Full textAbstract:
This qualitative essay explores and compares women’s roles and identities in the gothic novels Rebecca and Jane Eyre. The investigation shall be a social critique on feminine ideals from a feminist perspective. Comparable analysis of the "other women" who act as doubles for the protagonists will be essential to understanding the alter egos of Mrs. de Winter and Jane Eyre. These double personalities raise questions of identity and the roles of femininity. Similarly the power struggles between husband and wives and other feminine influences shall throw further light on prevailing feminine ideals of the times. I shall analyze Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca in relation to the concepts of the "Angel in the house" and the "Mad Woman in the Attic" with Charlotte Bronte’s novel to explore parallels between the plot and female characters. I shall show how Daphne du Maurier offers varying feminine models and ultimately takes a feminist standpoint with her novel much like Brontë’s Jane Eyre before her. Finally, I will show how the suppression of women by men through gender stereotyping can lead to female rebellion and, in turn, the stigmatization of female madness.

Full textAbstract:
Uppsatsen analyserar förändringar i berättartekniken när Charlotte Brontës roman Jane Eyre adapteras till serieroman och till film. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur de berättartekniska aspekterna intrig, tid och berättare kan förändras vid adaptioner från roman till serieroman och till film, samt vilka didaktiska begränsningar och möjligheter adaptioner medför för lärare som ämnar arbeta med adaptioner. Uppsatsen utgår från en komparativ metod med hjälp av adaptionsteori, och av berättartekniska analysverktyg som är hämtade från bl.a. narratologin. Analysen visar att intrigen är möjlig att överföra från roman till andra medier, medan tid och berättare kräver ombearbetning. Vidare visar diskussionen att svensklärare som överväger att erbjuda sina elever att ta del av skönlitteratur via andra medier än böcker bör vara observanta på vilka förändringar som adaptioner medför och hur det påverkar undervisningsmöjligheterna.
