From your work.... argument

Slide 18 - Diapositive
From your work... conclusion
In the end, Emily also gets her freedom, to a certain extend. The book makes fun of the patriarchy, and was truly an iconic feminist piece of literature. It does a good job of reflecting on the struggles of women and the many flaws of the patriarchy.
Slide 19 - Diapositive
From your work: a really good one
Jane Eyre isn’t an ordinary book. It’s not about marrying a man above your social layer. It’s the reason that you love and respect a man.
[...]
The man is still better than the woman. John, Jane's stepbrother, is bullying her all day long. Every day of the year. And when Jane said that to her governess she was punished. And John always gets away with what he does.
[...]
Jane Eyre is a very different book than other 19 century books
