Abstract
This paper talks about the theme found throughout all of Kramer's books and takes a special look at how "The Last Cowboy" also reflects that theme. In particular, the paper stresses that Kramer's books talk about the reaction in the U.S. to the collapse of the promise of the "American dream", a dream with which many still identify with, but fewer come to actually put in practice and live out.
From the Paper
"Jane Kramer's works, both her books and the articles she has published, somewhat reflect the American reality as it is perceived by Europe and the Europeans she spends much of her time with. In many ways, the United States are a different matter for the Europeans, who will never be able to understand the logic of the Electoral College, with the mess it can lay out such as it has in 2000, or "understanding the fuss over Monica Lewinsky" .

Abstract
This paper reviews the book, "Jane" written by Steven Molen, an unfortunate account of the rape of a favored and beautiful sister by a mysterious man. The paper focuses on Jane, the less favored child of the family, and her emotional turmoil in the face of the tragic events. The paper elaborates on Jane's perceived neglect on the part of her parents.
From the Paper
"Families are tremendously challenged by the perpetration of violence against one or all of its members. Yet, one of the most profound acts that challenges a family is rape. Rape has so many meanings and convoluted issues that are associated with it that many issues both very bad and very good can surface as a response to the rape of a member of any family. This is especially true with regard to families with more than one daughter. In this work, Jane by Steven Molen is an unfortunate account of the rape of a favored and beautiful sister by a mysterious man. Political and Feminist criticism of this work would determine that Jane is a victim of the societal romanticism of violent sexual acts, Jane wishes to endure just such an act to gain favor she seems to always have been denied because of her perceived secondary position to her sister."

"Feeling her perception of Rochester's voice to have had some mystical provenance, Jane immediately returns to Thornfield, discovering only a burnt-out ruin where the beautiful manor once stood. Once she finds Rochester-who was injured in the fire which killed Bertha and now lives in a smaller house in the woods-he confirms the supernatural nature of what she heard just before rejecting St. James' proposal. Rochester proposes marriage to her, and she accepts. Now that Bertha is gone, there is no impediment to Jane's and Rochester's marriage. They are married in a quiet ceremony and live as equals. As was her decision to share her inheritance with her cousins, this decision is one where her passion and her conscience coincide."

Charlotte Bronte's "Jane Eyre", 2005.
This paper discusses the role that religion plays in the Bildungsroman novel "Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Bronte.

Abstract
This paper explains that gothic novels often establish a sense of mystery which is aided, to a greater or lesser extent, by some involvement with supernatural forces, often relying on religious
conventions for expression in the text. In Charlotte Bronte's "Jane Eyre", this sense of religious or supernatural mystery allows Jane to expostulate from her double-narrative point of view on the suspicious happenings at Thornfield House, where Jane is employed as a governess. The author points out that the role of religion can be seen in many ways in the novel using the characters Mr. Brocklehurst, St. John Rivers, Jane (the protagonist) and Rochester as the opposite of the role of religion. The paper relates that "Jane Eyre" takes place in a
society plagued by situations in which women are regarded as religious angels who are kept in a state of either decorative consumption or holistic servitude.
From the Paper
"When Jane is relating to Mr. Brocklehurst at the school, he is a religious figure who gives mandates and constantly draws attention to the faults of others. Like St. John Rivers later in the novel, this character represents what Jane sees to be religious authority, and its goal towards her life is apparently repressive in nature. "And I was placed there, by whom I don't know: I was in no condition to not particulars; I was only aware that they had hoisted me up to the height of Mr. Brocklehurst's nose, and that a spread of shot orange and purple silk pelisses, and a cloud of silvery plumage extended and waved
below me. (He said) 'You see she is yet young... Who would think that the Evil One had already found a servant and agent in her?'" (Bronte). It can be seen therefore that Brocklehurst represents a sort of oppression over Jane in terms of influencing perceptions of her early in the novel."

Charlotte Bronte's "Jane Eyre", 1990.

From the Paper
"This paper will discuss the inner conflict experienced by Jane Eyre in her unique way of showing love toward Mr. Rochester in the novel Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. It can be seen that there are three basic levels on which Jane's inner conflict takes place. These are: (1) the struggle between her self-control and her desire to express her emotions of love; (2) the struggle between the male dominance of her time and her desire to be free and equal; and (3) the struggle between her spiritual and moral values and her desire for a physical relationship with Rochester. Through the resolutions of these conflicts, Jane Eyre experiences a sense of growth by the end of the novel. Therefore, rather than being a simple love story, Jane Eyre expresses the theme of an "inner evolution of the true self, and the full nature of the free individual in relationship"."

The Characters of "Othello" and "Jane Eyre" as 'Other', 2002.
Shows how William Shakespeare in "Othello" and Bronte in "Jane Eyre" reflect certain characters as disadvantaged others in their works.

Abstract
Both Shakespeare's "Othello" and Bronte's "Jane Eyre" feature the theme of the treatment of the 'other - ' a theme that situates the protagonist, in both of these texts, in a disadvantaged position vis-a-vis the dominant culture. In varying ways, the characters of Othello and Jane Eyre both experience the difficulties of being different, or apart from the status quo. Othello's color sets him notably apart from those around him. For Jane Eyre, it is her low social status, at least at the novel's beginning, although Jane is doubly disadvantaged being both impoverished and female. In both cases, the protagonists are treated with contempt, as if their status of 'other' renders such behavior on part of the dominant culture acceptable. But beneath this theme of marginalization and otherness that manifests itself in both of these texts is a journey into the self: a journey that ends in tragedy for Othello, as his is a path to self-deception, but one of self-discovery and maturation for Jane Eyre.

Charlotte Bronte's "Jane Eyre", 1994.
The paper discusses the character Jane's relationships with Edward Rochester and St. John Rivers in Charlotte Bronte's "Jane Eyre"as expressions of themes of love and self-knowledge.

From the Paper
"In Jane Eyre by Emily Bront?, the character of Jane has relationships with Edward Rochester and with St. John Rivers, relationships that take on a very different character and that contrast different aspects of human interaction. The two men are very different, and their effect on Jane and the manner in which she deals with each illuminates the themes of the novel and illustrates the character of Jane in the structure of the novel. One of the primary concerns in the novel is with love, the meaning of love, and the ability of the individual to find love and to be worthy of it once found. Jane's relationships with these two men provide the basis for the analysis of this issue.
The two relationships represent different responses to the need for love and hence different kinds of love, and Bront? juxtaposes the two in order to make this comparison explicit."

From the Paper
"This study will analyze Charlotte Bronte's "Jane Eyre", focusing on the nature, degree and significance of Rochester's dependence on Jane. The study will argue that this dependence evolves gradually, becomes intensely powerful and obsessive, and finally serves as an important factor in the moral and/or spiritual evolution of both Jane and Rochester. In addition, there is a strongly feminist edge to the morality of the book, and this feminism is in large part expressed in the complete transformation of the relationship between Rochester and Jane Eyre.
There is no doubt whatsoever that Rochester does indeed become almost entirely dependent on Jane by the end of the book. He has been blinded in the effort to save his wife in the fire, and Jane's return to him gives both of them the opportunity to ... "

From the Paper
"This research will discuss Jane Eyre as an example of 19th century English literary heroines, this fictional character's narrow sense of herself and her destiny. One expert says, "From the first time that we meet her, defying the two most oppressive monsters of the Reed household, till we leave her, confident of living happily ever after, Jane possesses a singular integrity". Even in the early chapters of Jane Eyre, she demonstrates a firm belief in her own conduct according to moral principles. Having been punished for things she was not responsible for, she states, "Unjust!..unjust!" and her reason incites her "resolve . . . to achieve escape from unsupportable oppression" by either running away or refusing any nourishment and allowing herself to die .
Because of the dreadful situation in the Reed household and ... "

Jane Eyre's Attitude Toward Rochester, 2005.

Abstract
"Jane Eyre" is the coming-of-age story of an orphan who grows up to marry Mr. Edward Fairfax Rochester, a man of means whom she has admired for years. Early in their acquaintance, Charlotte Bronte describes Jane's nascent feelings for her future husband when she observes him at a party he has given. The paper shows that this selection reveals Jane's attitude toward Rochester through Bronte's use of imagery, diction, syntax and rhetorical questions. Through these techniques, Bronte shows Jane's attraction to her employer despite the obvious disparity in their social positions.
From the Paper
"Bronte's use of rhetorical questions reinforces the contrast between Jane's attraction and the proprieties of the day. Through this device, Jane can express feelings in the form of questions which she would not yet be able to state directly. As Jane states, "I know I must conceal my sentiments: I must smother hope." Jane uses rhetorical questions rather than direct statements in order superficially to conceal her feelings. "Did I say, a few days since, that I had nothing to do with him but to receive my salary at his hands? Did I forbid myself to think of him in any other light than as a paymaster?" Jane's use of these rhetorical questions indicates that her feelings are entirely opposite to those expressed in the queries."

Abstract
This paper reads Jane Eyre with attention to the symbols of Nature and the natural relations that Jane assumes within the natural world. Bronte offers the moon as a feminine symbol in the story, one that reappears as a source of light and inspiration for Jane, thus presenting the moon as a feminine Ideal. With this symbolic representation of nature in gendered terms, Bronte provides a feminist novel, where the prominent feature of Jane's character is her independence and personal will and is symbolized in a feminine ideal of Nature.
