The document discusses the roles and characteristics of several important female characters in Jane Eyre. It analyzes Jane as a strong, independent protagonist who rebels against societal expectations. It also examines Bertha as Jane's foil who embodies uncontrolled passions, as well as other female characters like the cruel Blanche Ingram, kind Rivers sisters, and oppressive Mrs. Reed. Overall, the female characters represent a spectrum of Victorian womanhood and their relationships with Jane highlight her journey towards empowerment.

D. H. Lawrence has displayed a bold originality of his genius and his consummate artistic finesse in Sons and Lovers. With his pioneering artistry, he deviated from the traditional patter of fiction and tried to break fresh grounds.
The play 'Arms and the Man' begins in the bedroom of Raina Petkoff in a Bulgarian town in 1885.it was the time of Serbo-Bulgarian War. As the play opens, Catherine Petkoff and her daughter, Raina, have just heard that the Bulgarians have scored a tremendous victory in a cavalry charge led by Raina's fiancé, Major Sergius Saranoff, who is in the same regiment as Raina's father, Major Paul Petkoff. Raina is so impressed with the noble deeds of her fiancé that she fears that she might never be able to live up to his nobility..-----------

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Women in Jane Eyre
1. Women in Jane Eyre
There are many female characters in ‘Jane Eyre’ but what role of
importance do they play in the novel?
2. Women in Victorian Era
Women in the Victorian Era were treated as second-class
citizens in society and they had very few rights and little
control over their own lives
Women were expected to marry, have children and look
after the home
For a long time women were dependent on men, the novel
acts as a reminder of this
It wasn‟t until women won the rights to vote that things
started to change
Bronte herself was a governess, like Jane, but she eventually
married Reverend Arthur Nichols
3. Jane: Our Heroine
Jane is not conventionally beautiful as is described as being „plain
looking‟
Jane from a young age, has a passion for knowledge and life
Jane wants to be loved and find love; which she does when she goes to
work as a governess at Thornfield
She always clings to her moral compass as she is a self-righteous
character
Even though Jane can be a passionate rebellion, at the end of the novel
Mr Rochester and Jane finally marry and Jane gets that fairytale happy
ever after.
4. The importance of a female protagonist
The protagonist of the novel, Jane, is a strong independent woman.
Bronte could have chosen a male character to be the main character, so
why did she choose to cast a female character?
If the protagonist was male, for example if Rochester was the main
character, the novel would not have been as effective and it would have
been a completely different novel.
Bronte makes Jane this strong, passionate and rebellious character that
isn‟t conventionally pretty to challenge Victorian society‟s view on
women. Jane may be the “portrait of a Governess, disconnected, poor
and plain” however Jane is certainly not a dull character.
5. Bertha
A character who is passionate but in rival to Jane, Bertha is important to
the love story of the novel.
Bertha is described as wild with “black eyebrows widely raised over
bloodshot eyes” (pg250) and beast-like with “a demonic laugh” (pg129).
Bertha is violent and deranged; it is as if her role in the novel is to be a
plot device and role is to bring Rochester and Jane closer together.
Bertha is only shown to be a foreign, mad and aggressive character that
we are not to lay our sympathies with; but if she was portrayed
differently Jane and Rochester‟s relationship and the ending of the novel
would have been completely different.
6. Bertha and Jane: the differences and similarities
It is interesting that both Bertha and Jane are very similar, they both
have dark hair, they both love Rochester, they‟re rebellious, passionate,
and they both as associated with the gothic and with supernatural
creatures.
But what are their differences? Bertha is described as being wild, almost
man-like and creature-like; where as Jane is petite and delicate. Jane
suppresses her passions (as most Victorians) where as Bertha is wild
and overly passionate.
7. Bertha: the Hyde to Jane’s Jekyll?
Reading over the Red Room scene and chapter 26 when Bertha is revealed,
there are some interesting parallels...
In the Red Room passage Jane refuses to give into Mrs Reed‟s demands
and doesn‟t say sorry to John Reed, when Jane is sitting on the chair with
her hands underneath her legs she promises herself that she “will not stir”
(pg 7) restraining some of her anger. However Mrs Reed sends her to the
Red room, Jane kicks and tries to resist going into the room. When she is
sent into the room Jane hallucinates and eventually faints from all the
drama.
When we see Bertha in chapter 26 she is bound to a chair restrained.
Bertha also has “bloodshot eyes” (pg 250) probably with anger.
From a psychoanalytical point of view, Bertha could be seen as Jane‟s alter
ego, her ID if you like, as Bertha‟s rebellions are just like Jane‟s but on a
much larger scale. Bertha gives in to her feelings of passion, anger, lust and
jealousy (all emotions of the unconscious and ID) whereas Jane represses
that side of her psyche.
8. Blanche Ingrim: The Lady
Blanche: upper-class and beautiful yet she is cruel and spiteful – very
interesting how Bronte has chosen to represent Blanche, an upper-class
character and beautiful, to be cold and bitter
In Blanche‟s first appearance there are nine lines about her physical
appearance, followed by one and a half lines of Blanche‟s
accomplishments
This suggests that Blanche is show and self-absorbed in her own
appearance
Amber, a stone which is golden and rich, is a reoccurring image
associated with Blanche‟s character in the novel
Blanche may be physical perfection but she is manufactured, spiteful
and not very accomplished.
9. The River Sisters
The River sisters also represent kindness and an appetite for knowledge,
which they and Jane have in common.
The River sisters are not rich or conventionally beautiful but they show
kindness and warmth to Jane when they take her in from the harsh
outside world when she leaves Thornfield.
Even though the Rivers are not pretty they are surrounded by natural
beauty such as flowers, sunsets and moonlight it‟s as if they are a
positive force as positive beauty surrounds them. The Rivers are
important as they not only are long lost relatives; but they also show
Jane that there are still kind people out there restoring her hope.
10. The Reed Sisters
Eliza chose to devote her life to religion
Eliza, like Helen Burns, generally shows either little or no passion at all.
She is also cold, stern and quite spiteful
Georgina is quite rebellious and caused scandal when she tried to elope;
but her plans were revealed by her sister Eliza and Georgina was
stopped. Georgina seems restless and self-centered as we see when
Jane goes back to Gateshead, however her mean streak hasn‟t gone as
she calls Jane‟s portrait of Rochester „ugly.‟
Eventually Georgina marries
11. Mrs Reed
Cold and oppressive
Mrs Reed is spiteful towards Jane and makes Jane feel
unwelcomed, and example of this is when she is younger as she doesn‟t
include her in any activities, she even makes Jane feel excluded when
she and her children are sat at the fire.
Mrs Reed finds it difficult to cope with the young, rebellious Jane and
sends her to Lowood school
Mrs Reed and Jane have a poor yet complex relationship which is seen
when Jane goes back to Gateshead when Mrs Reed has a stroke, Jane
feels the need to serve and care for Mrs Reed; yet she despises her for
how she was treated as a child.
12. Miss Temple
At her time in Lowood, Jane looks up to Miss Temple as a mother-figure
Miss Temple is younger than the rest of the teachers and is much kinder
and warm-hearted.
Jane is distraught when Miss Temple leaves Lowood to marry a
clergyman, devoting her life to religion
13. Helen Burns
Helen is a very religious character, she is often presented as being
messianic as she takes punishment and advices Jane “then learn from
me”
However both Helen seems to lack passion and almost has a death wish
as in chapter 9 it is almost as she is accepting that she is going to die;
and of course before that Helen always talks of Heaven being her real
life
14. Rosamond Oliver
Even though most upper class female characters are represented in a
negative light, there is the exception of Rosamund Oliver.
Rosamund is rich, beautiful and charitable as she donates money to St
John‟s charity school.
The name „Rosamond‟ itself, when broken down to rosa and mond (the
French word for „the world‟) means „The Rose of the World‟ which
describes her as a fair beauty
Rosamund represents the rebellion within the stereotype of the upper
classes and conventionally pretty women in Jane Eyre.
