Surveillance And Surveillance Throughout The Book, Villette By Charlotte Bronte

Throughout Jane Eyre, as Jane herself moves from one physical location to another, the settings in which she finds herself vary considerably. Bronte makes the most of this necessity by carefully arranging those settings to match the differing circumstances Jane finds herself in at each.

Not only is surveillance restricting their ability to show love and affection, it is also preventing the characters from expressing what they enjoy, and being who they are by living to their full potential. This new perspective has helped me understand the underlying significance that surveillance has on society in both 1984 and the film Gattaca and the restrictions it placed on the many

He repeatedly insists that Lucy press charges against her attackers while she maintains her defence of saying he wasn’t there, and “you don’t know what happened” (134).
