Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 4 page essay that examines 2 greater works of literature. Charlotte Bronte’s independently minded protagonist in her novel Jane Eyre and James Joyce’s rather more prosaic main character in his short story “The Dead,” Gabriel Conroy, each express a desire in these narratives to experience a different sort of life, one that includes new places, new experiences and an escape form the provincialism of their circumstances. However, when Jane is offered the chance to leave England, she rejects it and Gabriel, likewise, has a change of heart before the end of his story. Examination of these two narratives indicates the reasons behind their behavior and how this stems from the way in which Bronte and Joyce handle these characterizations. No additional sources cited.

because he is married to another woman and she will not compromise her morals or her principles. However, when she is offered a chance to leave England and experience the
faraway lands that she has imagined, this marriage, which would be to as a missionarys wife, entails a passionless union that Jane realizes would also be against her principles and
