Jane Eyre Essay Topics on Helen Burns
Jane Eyre Essay Topics on Helen BurnsJane Eyre Essay Topics on Helen Burns: Emma, Paris, and Beatrice all are inextricably linked in The Shrewsbury Trilogy. I have always liked how in one of the few instances of editing, the characters in The Great Gatsby essay topics and dialogues are switched. It makes sense that when one is writing for a series, it is also in part to be able to use historical characters, but this scene is all about the author's authorship skills.My first thought on noticing this was that Jane Eyre is a classic, romantic, ancient novel, and thus I could not go into a list of topics on Jane Eyre. However, when it was pointed out to me that Jane Eyre was fiction, I realized that Jane Eyre Essay Topics on Helen Burns does not relate to Jane Eyre so much as to the novel as a whole. Some of the essays do work in conjunction with one another, but these three essays may be read separately, and they stand alone.The first essay is entitled 'Blood Lust' by the author himself , Patrick Wardle. Wardle explains that he wants to write a historical fiction, but knows nothing about the period. The other two essays relate to his two predecessors, one on Beatrice Fforde and one on Emma Bovary. Beatrice Fforde was the first of the five Brontë sisters.In 'Blood Lust,' the author describes the Beatrice affair, or more precisely the crime of first-degree murder of Beatrice Fforde by her husband, William Graham. Beatrice had previously been married to Edmund Kempe, and in a fit of jealousy, Kempe stabbed her to death. Wardle says that this really does not matter because of the nature of the book, and that he is simply writing a novel. What does he mean by 'what it really means?' For instance, many would consider William Graham, who was Beatrice's husband, as a murderer, but the crime of first-degree murder involved multiple killers, and Wardle do not think this matters.In the 'Beatrice Bleeds' essay, Wardle takes a deeper look at Beatrice's affair with Edmund Kempe . He says that it is wrong to suggest that it was her first love, because that would lessen the integrity of the events, but he points out that Kempe claimed to have had sexual relations with Beatrice at least once before Edmund's involvement. In fact, Wardle writes, 'as a teenager, Beatrice, who was about eleven years old, had been in a serious relationship with a young man called John Mason, who came from a prominent family. After a year of being with him, she was so appalled by his friends that she broke off the relationship.'The other essay, 'Emma Burn,' by the same author, introduces Emma Bovary, the woman whose life was transformed by a traumatic incident involving a child sexual abuse case. Bovary was raped and viciously murdered by her father, and that lead to a long series of tragedies, but she managed to make it through as a recovering alcoholic and an intelligent woman.In 'Harry Smith,' Wardle focuses on the character of Harry Smith, and his brother, Andrew Smith. Wardle says that Harry's drinking made him a good person, but also that it made him suicidal. Andrew Smith was less of a good person, but according to Wardle, he 'rebelled against authority.' It was in this way that he helped, at least partially, to save Harry's life, after Smith died. If you were asking me to recommend Jane Eyre Essay Topics on Helen Burns, I would include these three essays.
