Hello everyone, I’m Alondra and today I’ll be sharing one of my favorite quotes from Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë. The gothic novel deals with themes that we still face today like gender, morals, and religion but comes about these topics in a romantic tale of the title character. A quote that captures the essence of the story and shows us the meaning of independence is in chapter 23 where Jane states, “I am no bird; and no one ensnares me. I am a free human being with an independent will, which I now exert to leave you.” (p.g. 272) Although at first sight, the quote may not be as powerful. But after gaining some of the context behind it, the real gravity of the text starts to come through. Jane has always been compared to a bird, a wild bird
“Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry./Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.” (Colossians 3:5-6).

Hester, the reason for this book has on one of the most simple things, she has committed adultery. At times Hester, the reason for this book has on one of the most simple things, she has committed adultery.

Joan Didion Quote The famous author Joan Didion has a quote that says “Life changes fast. Life changes in the instant. You sit to down for dinner and life as you know it ends.” This quote can easily be mistaken for dark or depressing but there is a lot more meaning behind these few sentences.
The book Emma takes place in Highbury village in the early 19th century. On page three it explains, “Highbury, the large and populous village almost amounting to a town.” Highbury is a large village in England not far off from London.

I am reading Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn and I am on page 185. This book is about a bickering married couple, Nick and Amy Dunne.

Oscar wild wrote this quote. This remark by Lady Bracknell is a pun or a play on words. The first part of her sentence is a normal comment on the death of one of Mr. Worthing 's parents but Lady Bracknell gives the word "lose" a different meaning in the second part. By making Lady Bracknell say this, Oscar Wilde presumably wished to show how snobbish the upper class could be. It is usual in England to say "I have lost my father, friend, or relative."

Walter hasn’t got a quarter at home to bring you”.(Lee 28)
I think Mayella is mostly powerful because of her race and here is how. There was quote on page nineteen of the DBQ that said “Now don’t you be so confident, Mr. Jem, I ain’t ever seen any jury decide in favor of a colored man over a white man…” This here showed us that not one single colored man ever beat a case against another man. And since Miss Mayella is a female, Tom is definitely going to have a hard time winning against her. There was another quote on page twenty-one that said, “...
Holden Caulfield is in love with Jane and he doesn’t know if she likes him back. The statements that Holden makes can be somewhat loving and caring about Jane. “Catcher in the Rye” by J.D.

Persuasion That isn’t what she wants. Ignoring personal emotions allows others to have control over someone. In Persuasion by Jane Austen, Anne struggles with listening to her true feelings and instead submits to her friend's requests, which is shown to not be suitable for her.

First, Jane Eyre’s attributes displays women in our society who are still in search for meaning and love in their lives. Just like Jane’s spirit of passion despite abuse, these women continue to search for respect from other
Jane goes against the expected type by “refusing subservience, disagreeing with her superiors, standing up for her rights, and venturing creative thoughts” (Margaret, 1997, p. 325-346). She is not only successful in terms of wealth and position, but more importantly, in terms of family and love. These two needs that have evaded Jane for so long are finally hers. Adding to her victory is her ability to enjoy both without losing her hard-won independence. Everybody has the rights to pursue happiness, to pursue the true spirit of life, which can be seen from Jane Eyre’s struggle for independence and equality.
