Compare and contrast Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre to any one of the classic fairy tales that we have studied, such as “Snow White,” “Beauty and the Beast,” “Cinderella,” “Donkeyskin,” “Bluebeard,” or “Fitcher’s Bird.” Consider such topics as: the strength of the heroines in relation to the demands or expectations of men, society, or narrative convention; masculine and feminine gender roles; marriage and romance in women’s lives and choices; the ways stories challenge or reinforce class distinctions and stereotypes. Be sure to give your essay a precise thesis, stating as specifically as possible the similarities and differences between the novel and the fairy tale on a single theme. And be sure to defend your thesis throughout your essay, providing specific evidence for all your assertions by referring to details in the texts.
