Boils round the naked, melancholy isles
Of farthest Thule; and the Atlantic surge
Pours in among the stormy Hebrides." (64)
This poem is a part of James Thomson's master piece, Seasons. This excerpt is a small fraction of the Autumn section. James was from Scotland and only lived to be 48 years old. Charlotte Bronte included this small excerpt perhaps because of the tone of loneliness. Jane is an individual with many thoughts. Compared to other women, she is not normal. Throughout Jane's life she faced those hardships as well as being an orphan forcing her to feel very alone at times.

word choice -- "tone" isn't waht you are going for there .. mood.. atmopshere..maybe theme -- we have to work as a class on wrapping our heads around that one -- maybe next week.. more likely as soon as we get back from break
ReplyDeleteTake a look here..have you analyzed both the poem and the novel..or have you just included part of one?
