Making Connections and Posting a Picture
Jane Eyre is a similar book to Great Expectations for many reasons. One is that they were both written in the same time period and their fore the authors face the same problems from society. Both have the theme of growing up and striving for perfection and the theme of good and evil fighting within. For example Pip strives to be a rich gentleman but he also wants to be good. Pip is striving to find what makes him happy and will only find it in the morality of goodness, and the companionship and love of others. Jane also faces these struggles and looks for love in all the wrong places. Her main goal is to find love and affection from others. Both are young charters put in hard settings with not so loving families. Both have to overcome the struggles of poverty, trust, pride, and neglect as they grow up. Each charter is put in a brutal setting where the reader sees how they are affected and change from the events that take place. The reader gets to see each charter grow up and learn the ways of the world through different hardships. But in the end the charters each overcome their struggles and their charter is shaped from it. The charters each learn important universal lessons that enhance the theme.
