An essay on Financial security over love in relation to the chapter "The Proposal".
Grade 10
Answers
Answer:
This thesis studies the purpose of multiple marriage proposals in Jane Austen’s
Pride and Prejudice and Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre. I will show that Austen’s and Brontë’s
inclusion of two proposals – by Darcy and by Rochester, respectively – are central to the
narrative structures of their work. I will examine how Austen and Brontë present their heroines
with multiple proposals in order to demonstrate the proper moment at which a proposal should
be accepted. This thesis will contextualize the choices of Elizabeth Bennet and Jane Eyre by
engaging in conversation with several literary scholars who work on Austen and Brontë. The
first chapter will be dedicated to Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, and the analysis of Darcy and
Elizabeth’s changing relationship. The second chapter will examine Brontë’s Jane Eyre and
Jane’s individual journey as it relates to her relationship with Rochester. I will also examine how
each author demonstrates how gender roles and stereotypes can serve as a threat to a healthy
relationship as well as to one’s own self-development. Through multiple proposals, Austen and
Brontë demonstrate the importance of independence and equality in entering a marriage. They
also dismantle traditional notions of masculinity.
