Can't bury these tales: Canterbury Tales & Jane Eyre
Question 1:
Throughout the entirety of the work, Bronte is very descriptive and portrays a very advanced vocabulary. The entirety of the passage seems to carry a positive tone, and the narrator seems at least content, except in paragraphs 11 and 12. There is a sharp contrast of the mood of the vocabulary she uses as opposed to other parts of the writing. This shift in emotion compels the reader to feel the true intensity of the situation Jane is going through. The scene shifts from a "delicious addition of a thin scrape of butter" to "...painful anxiety, expecting every moment to see its dark orb turn on me a glance of repugnance and contempt" (Bronte). The transition here emphasizes, and exaggerates the darker feelings portrayed by the author as paragraphs 11 and 12 are quite the opposite as the rest of the text.
Thank You, get well soon.
