We will analyse, in this essay, the differences as well as the similarities which exist between Jane Eyre and Incidents in the life of a slave girl written by herself. We will see that they differ in terms of genre, the period of history in which they find themselves, the way the characters are presented and so forth. However, they share some of the main values concerning womanhood, race and some other aspects of life which they both treat in different ways and yet they do so in a specific aim.

Throughout history, women have made a name for themselves. By rising up and fighting for something that they believed in, the Mirabal sisters made a name for themselves in the Dominican Republic and in Julia Alvarez’s novel In the Time of the Butterflies. By applying a theory to a novel, readers can relate the book to the world they are living in today (Davidson). Feminism can be defined as a dynamic philosophy and social movement that advocates for human rights and gender equality (“Feminism”).

Rebecca West once said, “I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat”; feminism and other social issues are fundamental to literature, with them commonly being a driving force behind both modern and classic works of fiction. Feminism is everywhere, with women still fighting for gender equality in modern day Britain as demonstrated through Emma Watson’s United Nations speech which was broadcasted in September of 2014 where she differentiates feminism from ‘man-hating’. Feminism has developed considerably over time as general attitudes have been swayed through literature, political movements and women’s portrayal of themselves. In 1847, Charlotte Bronte released her novel ‘Jane Eyre’ which was viewed as very radical for its time as Bronte uses Jane to exhibit her resentment towards society. Jane is presented as a morally strong, determined character who, when she falls in love, embraces the notion instead of the label and profits which are associated with it; she states that she “cares for [her]self” and that “more unsustained [she is], the more [she] will respect [her]self” as she is not tempted away from her self-respect.

The objects and descriptions within the narrative are the author’s tools for displaying the values and themes of the work.
Spiegelman's Maus became quite a success upon its release and had especially received well-deserved awards for the brilliant content, storytelling and history in in the two-volume set. But with great success comes criticism, whether it is meant to be good or bad. In Hye Su Park's Art Spiegelman’s Maus: A Survivor’s Tale: A Bibliographic Essay, the scholar serves a broad survey of Maus criticism based on ten thematic categories with the focus of four such as: narratology, auto-biography, and history/post-history (Park, 146). Park believes that some scholarly criticism have quite effective views while others are limited in their opinions and do not explore the depth of the Maus text. Narratology explores the interest in how formal aspects of the text, the system and the construction of the storyworld, further highlights and complicates the thematics of Maus (Park,158).
