explain how Jane and Rochester are both constrained by their respective social class
In an essay of at least 750 words, explain how Jane and Rochester are both constrained by their respective social class, and argue whether or not the fact that Jane ends up with the wealthy, landed Rochester, not to mention an inheritance of her own, undermines the novel’s argument for the irrelevance of riches.
Your thesis statement will assert how and why Jane and Rochester are constrained by their respective social position, and assert whether or not the resolution of the novel (Jane and Rochester end up together) undermine the novel’s message that wealth is irrelevant. Supporting evidence in body paragraphs must come from the primary text (Jane Eyre) and from a secondary critical source or sources (Susan Fraiman’s essay “Jane Eyre’s Fall From Grace” and/or Sandra Gilbert’s critical essay “Plain Jane’s Progress”) to support your points.
You will need to use the novel and one or both of the assigned critical articles to support and develop your thesis statement.
