What does Virginia Woolf say is the reason for Jane Eyre’s continuing appeal to readers?

Virginia Woolf says the reason for Jane Eyre’s continuing appeal to readers is that Bronte  introduces the idea of the “modern individual” in the character of Jane Eyre. The desire to be “at war with the accepted order of things” that characterizes the modern self.  Woolf explains how Brontë depicts:

“… an overpowering personality, so that, as we say in real life, they have only to open the door to make themselves felt. There is in them some untamed ferocity perpetually at war with the accepted order of things which makes them desire to create instantly rather than to observe patiently.”

This vision is shared by scholars and critics who  agree on Woolf’s take on Jane Eyre. Literary critic Sandra M. Gilbert explains it  is “the heroine’s refusal to submit to her social destiny,” that shows how  Brontë has “overthrown authority” and cultivated “rebellion.”

Write a short analysis that compares and contrasts a computer to a pen. Include two similarities and two differences.
Vilka [71]

Answer:  In the past few days you may well have scribbled out a shopping list on the back of an envelope or stuck a Post-it on your desk. Perhaps you added a comment to your child’s report book or made a few quick notes during a meeting. But when did you last draft a long text by hand? How long ago did you write your last “proper” letter, using a pen and a sheet of writing paper? Are you among the increasing number of people, at work, who are switching completely from writing to typing?

No one can say precisely how much handwriting has declined, but in June a British survey of 2,000 people gave some idea of the extent of the damage. According to the study, commissioned by Docmail, a printing and mailing company, one in three respondents had not written anything by hand in the previous six months. On average they had not put pen to paper in the previous 41 days. People undoubtedly write more than they suppose, but one thing is certain: with information technology we can write so fast that handwritten copy is fast disappearing in the workplace.

In the United States they have already made allowance for this state of affairs. Given that email and texting have replaced snail mail, and that students take notes on their laptops, “cursive” writing – in which the pen is not raised between each character – has been dropped from the Common Core Curriculum Standards, shared by all states. Since 2013 American children have been required to learn how to use a keyboard and write in print. But they will no longer need to worry about the up and down strokes involved in “joined-up” writing, less still the ornamental loops on capitals.
