A Comparison Between Charlotte Brontës Jane Eyre and John :: English Literature

A Comparison Between Charlotte Brontà «'s Jane Eyre and John Steinbeck's Of Mice And Men looking closely at the themes of Friendship, Loyalty and Integrity I have recently read Charlotte Brontà «s 'Jane Eyre' and John Steinbeck's 'Of Mice And Men' novels. They are both clearly different novels. First are both set in different time spans, the settings are different, Jane Eyre was set in rural Victorian England countryside, in comparison, Of Mice And Men was set in the Agricultural side of the U.S.A. Finally both genders of each novel are the same i.e. Charlotte Brontà « and Jane Eyre to John Steinbeck and George Milton and Lennie Small.

This is one of the advantages of writing in the first person narrative. However a disadvantage of this style of writing is that us the readers our only able to read one point of view, but to me this is also another advantage because this novel suits the style of a first person narrative, Charlotte Brontà « has done this deliberately, so the reader can focus more on Jane Eyre and her life. In comparison John Steinbeck's 'Of Mice And Men' was set in the agricultural side, in the heart of the 1937 U.S.A. Also John Steinbeck wrote the novel during the great depression. John Steinbeck made the two main characters 'George Milton and Lennie Small'. This is another difference form Jane Eyre as the gender is all male however the main
