In the first few chapters Charlotte is confused on who to trust, so she decides to judge people by their class. The crew had the lowest class on the ship and the Captain had the highest class and she had decided to trust the captain. She judged who to trust by their clothes and class instead of their heart and loyalty which was a big mistake for Charlotte. Charlotte soon learned that Captain Jaggery is twisted and evil because he has killed and beaten many people and some of those people have been people from his crew. She had learned she placed her trust in a murderer’s hands because she judged the Captain and the crew. In these chapters, Charlotte still trusts Captain Jaggery because of his class, but she would soon regret her quick and …show more content…

During these chapters, Charlotte had decided to prove herself by climbing the highest sail and climbing down safely. This was very surprising to the crew because they had judged Charlotte by her gender and looks and they had thought that she would never do something as reckless as that. Charlotte Doyle had surprised and impressed the crew and Captain Jaggery. They all thought since she was a fragile, obedient girl she wouldn't have proved herself to become a crew member. This connects to my theme because this event is explaining don’t judge a book by its cover. This event shows Don’t judge a book by its cover because everyone judged Charlotte and thought she would never want to become a part of the crew and they definitely thought she would try to prove herself to the crew by climbing the tallest sail.

The captain had thought that Charlotte would help keep the crew in line with her feminine ways but when she didn’t do as he thought he got mad at her. Captain Jaggery even said in the book, “ When this voyage began I had high hopes you would help me keep the crew in order with your lady-like ways. But you, Miss Doyle, you interfered with that

    Media makes celebrities seem as if they live life facing no problems or hardships. In reality, they do not live a perfect life, but that characteristic of celebrities' life tends to go unseen.

Even though business is always Mr. Lorry’s top priority, he always has a special place in his heart for the people he cares about, the Manette’s. Through the use of characterization and dialogue, Charles Dickens uses Mr. Lorry to promote how humanity overrides one’s business side no matter how hard they try to suppress it.

    My favorite line in the book is: “If you didn’t want to be known as the woman who rowed the boat, you shouldn’t have rowed that boat" (319). This statement is so true.

We can tell quite easily that she is a very meticulous woman, with a lot of perfectionist tendencies, a few of which are to nitpick people’s lives and make sure that even the most minute detail is up to her standards. I know of someone with these attributes and as difficult as they are to deal with, with their list of requirements to be met and their eagle-eye for detail in even the smallest things, they mean the best, and are always trying to help, despite the possible repercussions.

  • Scarlet Letter Mania Quotes

    824 Words  | 2 Pages

    Mania is an excessive enthusiasm or desire, typically with a negative intention, and that is what Roger Chillingworth suffered from. Throughout the novel, he goes out of his way to make the life of Arthur Dimmesdale awful. He tortures Dimmesdale from the inside out, psychologically outsmarting him at every turn. Chillingworth claims that Hester is the reason he has acted so awfully, but it is not common for others to agree with him. In The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, Chillingworth’s deep desire for revenge is understandable, as he was a decent person before he found out about the affair, but then turned into a maniac in his quest to exact revenge on Dimmesdale.

  • Theme Of Pride In Jane Eyre

    559 Words  | 2 Pages

    The novel “Jane Eyre” by Charlotte Bronte, and the novella “The Turn of the Screw” by Henry James, both display the treatment of pride for upper and lower class similarly. Furthermore, the treatment of pride will be compared and contrasted in this essay to examine and understand how pride is treated. In novel and novella both the lower class characters believe their pride makes them superior beings. Although the pride of lower and upper-class characters led them to their corruption. Moreover, the upper-class characters in each narrative maintain their respectability by their pride. However, in “Jane Eyre” all casts must have their emotions controlled by their pride, or this will lead to inappropriate behavior. Nevertheless, in “The Turn of

  • An Analysis Of Jean Rhys Wide Sargasso Sea

    1141 Words  | 3 Pages

    Unlike Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre, Rhys chooses to portray the character of Bertha as Antoinette Cosway, a living, thinking human being. And then, she chooses to write a back story for Mr. Rochester to show what his inner self looks like and how it affects Antoinette and finally, she ends with Grace Poole’s account and a final word from Antoinette herself. In having three different narrators, Rhys has created a setting where everything and everyone is carefully scrutinized. Every action is carefully accounted for in Rhys’ novel, unlike its nineteenth century predecessor, where the story is told from only one perspective. Through the three characters who narrate Wide Sargasso Sea, Rhys criticizes Bronte’s choice of narration in Jane Eyre and therefore, humanizes Bertha into more than a beast-like thing.
