Throughout all of the books we’ve read this semester, I felt that I kind of had some idea of how it was going to end, and it usually did end how I thought. However, with Jane Eyre, that was really the only ending that caught me off guard. I knew that it’s regarded as a… Read more Jane Eyre Ending

Jane Eyre + Rebecca — Gothic Romance
Disclaimer: I will be comparing only Jane Eyre and Rebecca (1940), the movie not the book, because I have only seen the movie and not read the book and don’t know if there are huge differences between them. Even though Jane Eyre is mostly regarded as a Romance novel, I believe like Rebecca, which is known as a Gothic… Read more Jane Eyre + Rebecca — Gothic Romance
Project 2 — Jane Eyre + “tolerate it” & “mad woman”

Disability in Television
One of the things that I spend a lot of time doing, especially lately, is watching TV. I have always been a huge fan of so many great television series. I also have an interest in screenwriting and just writing in general, so I tend to watch television sometimes from a different point of view,… Read more Disability in Television
