(4 cards)
Voice narrative / perspective:
Direct speech - Jane takes the opportunity to give Mrs R a piece of her mind.
She takes the power and does most of the talking.
Character:
Spiteful
Angry
Triumphant
Remorseful
Structure:
Fire - her mind is as a ‘lighted heath’ burning anger in the moment to ‘black embers’ when she feels bad about it afterwards.
Sense that vengeance and uncontrolled emotional reactions are not actually a nice feeling/morally right.
Battle - i was the victor i had won the battle .
Genre:
Gothic - does Jane become the mad woman again here?
Bildungsroman - the dangers of letting the fire burn out of control i.e. not curbing/moderating her fiery behaviour - hell? immoral? hysterical?
Not the way to move through the world and survive.
