| | | | | | |
| | | | |Final unit essays: | |
| | | | |1980: A recurring theme in literature is the classic war between| |
| | | | |passion and responsibility. For instance, a personal cause, a | |
| | | | |love, a desire for revenge, a determination to redress a wrong, | |
| | | | |or some other emotion or drive may conflict with moral duty. In | |
| | | | |Jane Eyre, choose a character who confronts the demands of a | |
| | | | |private passion that conflicts with his or her responsibilities. | |
| | | | |In a well-written essay show clearly the nature of the conflict, | |
| | | | |its effect upon the character, and its significance to the work. | |
| | | | |2002: Morally ambiguous characters – characters whose behavior | |
| | | | |discourages readers from identifying them as purely evil or | |
| | | | |purely good – are at the heart of many works of literature. In | |
| | | | |Jane Eyre identify a morally ambiguous character who plays a | |
| | | | |pivotal role. Then write an essay in which you explain how the | |
| | | | |character can be viewed as morally ambiguous and why his or her | |
| | | | |moral ambiguity is significant to the work as a whole. Avoid | |
| | | | |mere plot summary. | |
| | | | |2010: Palestinian American literary theorist and cultural critic | |
| | | | |Edward Said has written that “Exile is strangely compelling to | |
| | | | |think about but terrible to experience. It is the unhealable | |
| | | | |rift forced between a human being and a native place, between the| |
| | | | |self and its true home: its essential sadness can never be | |
| | | | |surmounted.” Yet Said has also stated that exile can become “a | |
| | | | |potent, even enriching” experience.” | |
| | | | |Choose a character in Jane Eyre who experiences such a “rift” and| |
| | | | |becomes cut off from “home,” whether that home is the character’s| |
| | | | |birthplace, family, homeland, or other special place. Then write| |
| | | | |an essay in which you analyze how the character’s experience with| |
| | | | |exile is both alienating and enriching, and how this experience | |
| | | | |illuminates the meaning of the work as a whole. Do not merely | |
| | | | |summarize the plot. | |
|Standard E1-4 |E1-4.4/E2-4.4 Use grammatical conventions of written Standard | |Essay |In-text documentation required in all essays |Jane Eyre |
