Welcome!
Hello, and welcome to my blog! While reading Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Brontë, something that especially stood out to me was the role that social classes played in the interaction between the characters. The main character, Jane Eyre, belongs to arguably one of the lowest social classes in Britain, at the time: when she was little, she was an orphan, poor and a woman. Her social role remains the same for most of the novel, and as a servant for the rich bachelor Mr. Rochester, she encounters many people who are above her socially. These interactions between her and the rich form the basis of the social critique that takes place in the novel. This blog will be exploring these interactions and how they show the theme of social conflict and the characterization of flat and round characters. This blog will also be analyzing how allusions and diction show these social discrepancies, and will also include a few interactions connect to the 'real world'.

Hey Becca, this blog is so YOU! It is very intelligent and graceful- if that makes any sense. The thing that like the most about this blog if the way you ties everything together. Weather is was intentional or not, the Diction, Characterization, and Connections seemed to all tie in together for me. In all of the quotes that you chose all had very great word choice as well as the way that it characterized some of the people. I was also very impressed with you allusions pages, you clearly did a lot of research and you very well executed background and how it related to Jane Eyre. Very great blog, Becca!
