What We are Talking About:
Bookshelf: The Byronic Hero Text: Jane Eyre & The Picture of Dorian Gray Author: Charlotte Bronté / Oscar Wilde Setting: Pre- & Current- Victorian England “I sometimes have a queer feeling with regard to you–especially when you are near me, as now: it is as if I had a string somewhere under my left ribs, tightly and inextricably knotted to a similar string situated in the corresponding quarter of your little frame. And if that boisterous Channel, and two hundred miles or so of land come broad between us, I am afraid that cord of communion will be snapt; and then I’ve a nervous notion I should take to bleeding inwardly.” –Mr. Rochester “Experience is merely the name men gave to their mistakes.” ... Dorian Gray Working from your small groups, study questions and class discussion, choose one quote or passage that you believe to be essential for an understanding of Tess, Alec or Angel (character, philosophy, growth and self-actualization, relationships, etc.) for each chapter. • Any character can be represented. • Ultimately, you will have quotes/passages representing each chapter, but you may choose more than one per chapter if the mood strikes you. Complete a thorough analysis of each quote/passage. • Your work should show maturity and growth. • Refer to the IB Mind SQUIDS paper if you need assistance on writing a comprehensive analysis/commentary on the quotes. |
