Anne Bronte as a visionary writer: her literary success I am reminded of a parable as to what happens when one desires to beat time. A childless couple approached the Perfect Master for his grace to be blessed with progeny. The Master who had the power to know the past, present and the future, advised them that they were not lucky in this respect in this birth. They pleaded for His grace and the Perfect Master warned them of the consequences of taking liberty with the laws of nature. Yet, the couple was persistent. “So be it”, said the Perfect Master and after nine months a baby-girl was born to the couple, but strangely, her right was folded and the child had a natural cell phone (made of flesh and blood) in her grip. She was not able to stretch her hands. “This child is part of the generation that we are going to get after ninety years, and I have pulled a soul that was due to take birth then, for your present benefit”, said the Perfect Master. “I have picked up one soul from that lot, and you are thus specially graced”. Similarly, Anne Bronte was able to visualize in The Tenant of Wildfell Hall the characteristics of the twenty-first generation. Anne Bronte (1820-1849) was the contemporary of Karl Marx (1818-1883) but her lifespan was just 29 years. If her literature is read today in front of the grave of Karl Marx it would make him shift in the grave. At such a young age, her thinking was revolutionary, even without being exposed to the secular world in a big way.
New ideas derived from self-reflection enable us to develop in ways that are spiritually linked to the future. The inexorable passage of adulthood is established by the motif of time, indicating that life is continuously moving forward. The personification of time “guiltless minute hand” suggest that time is not responsible for our future, but we are. Additionally, the dysphemistic personification of “time was killed” foreshadows the cessation of childhood. Eventually, the

Charlotte Bronte, Jane Eyre Through its portrayal of human experience, Bronte’s Jane Eyre reinforces the significance of resilience.
The life goal of Charlotte Bronte was to be “remembered forever.” From her classic books Jane Eyre to Shirley, the rebel–Victorian author brought an unknown aspect to the world of literature: the written word by a woman, showing the passions and emotions from a perspective never seen before. Charlotte Bronte’s works were impacted by her creative family, academic achievements, and love for downcast literary forms.
Emily Jane Bronte was born July 30th, 1818 in the small village of Thornton, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom. She was the fifth of the six children of Patrick Bronte & Maria Branwell Bronte. She had three older sisters Charlotte, Elizabeth, & Maria, & also had a older brother named Branwell & a younger sister named Anne.
Charlotte Brontë lived during the Victorian era. Although she did write during the Victorian era, she often tried to go against the basic view on women characters in that style of writing. She grew up in England with her father and aunt. Her family did have religious views of being Christian. She grew up in an Anglican household with her clergyman father. Although her father was religious, he did have an unorthodox way of raising his children. He gave Brontë freedom and allowed her to stray free a bit. They were known to not have much money. Once a school for poor people opened, the daughters were able to go and get a education. Although her father was very religious, he did allow the children to read whatever they found interesting. This included
The story takes place in the supermarket from the chain “A&P.” This supermarket is in the middle of a town near a beach. There are two banks, newspaper store, three real-estate office and a Congregational church. The customers in the supermarket are called sheep.
The word choice here reflects Jane's situation - she is like the ground, 'petrified' under the influence of her aunt, whose behaviour is mirrored in the term "hard frost" because of the icy discipline she bestows. Mrs Reed's attitude towards Jane highlights one of the main themes of the novel, social class. Jane's aunt sees Jane as inferior as she had humble beginnings: she is "less than a servant". Jane is glad to be leaving her cruel aunt and of having the chance of going to school.
The connotations that Brontë employs in this chapter is a negative connotation in this chapter. The overall feeling of the language in this chapter is negative.

Another example is “silence” is often repeated a lot in this chapter, seeming like it is the
Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre is presented in the Victorian Period of England. It is a novel which tells the story of a child's maturation into adulthood. Jane's developing personality has been shaped by her rough childhood. She has been influenced by many people and experiences. As a woman of her time, Jane has had to deal with the strain of physical appearance. This has a great effect on her mental thinking and decision making. Jane Eyre's cognitive and physical attributes have been affected by her environment throughout her life.
Brontë noted that, after discovering a manuscript written by Emily in 1845, her sister's poems were not “at all like the poetry women generally write” and carried “a peculiar music – wild, melancholy, and elevating.” Brontë, along with her sisters, began using pseudonyms in 1846 with the publication of Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell. According to Charlotte, the wide audience believed that these three pseudonyms related to one person; she wrote Biographical Notes on the Pseudonymous Bells in response.
Subjective novelists tend to use personal attitudes to shape their characters. Whether it be an interjection of opinion here, or an allusion to personal experience there, the beauty of a story lies in the clever disclosure of the author's personality. Charlotte Bronte and Voltaire are no exceptions. Their most notable leading characters, Jane Eyre and Candide, represent direct expressions of the respective author's emotions and impressions. In their stories, Bronte and Voltaire create fictional settings and imaginary scenes. However, through the psyche of their leading protagonists, Bronte and Voltaire genuinely portray their own inner world they are their own
“The difficulty of literature is not to write, but to write what you mean; not to affect your reader, but to affect him precisely as you wish,” said Robert Louis Stevenson, author of Treasure Island. Any person can write a book, but to be able to write what you mean and affect your readers is very difficult. A writer simply can’t just drop dialogue into a character’s mouth without having any context of the dialogue. If an author has his or her character saying “I’m broke,” what does this really mean without any context? To Oprah Winfrey, being broke may mean she can’t buy a Silk Jet, a winery, or a country. To a middle- class American, being broke may mean they can’t buy a new pair of shoes that week, buy a new car, or get their hair
