Jane Eyre -- A Study Guide

Can you answer these questions? How and why does Bronte present sex as a dangerous activity in 'Jane Eyre'? Why are the elements of earth, fire, water and air important in the novel? Is 'Jane Eyre' a subversive novel? Is Rochester a hero or villain? If you're stuck for answers, then maybe you should read this study guide. It is ideal for students studying the text for A Level, but should be helpful for GCSE students aiming for high marks too. For English undergraduates, it clarifies some basic points about literary theory and will be useful regarding key ideas about context, structure and theme, and in analysing quotations. This guide really encourages students to think for themselves with searching, open-ended questions: this helps to develop personal responses which are vital to attaining higher grades. The study guide is useful in the following ways because it is: A great resource for students aiming for top grades; A great classroom resource for teachers too: the important sections of the novel are quoted in full, together with useful discussion points/comprehension questions; Written by an experienced teacher who has taught the text in real classroom situations and knows what students need to learn. Please note: this Study Guide contains the same textual commentaries/questions/tasks as the Study Guide Edition (SGE) but not the complete text, which the SGE does.
