A Costly Morality: Dependency Care and Mental Difference in the Novels of the Brontë Sisters
Paul Marchbanks
Journal of Literary & Cultural Disability Studies
Issue Volume 4, Number 1 / 2010 Pages 55-72
Abstract
The article investigates four fictional accounts of the complications involved in providing dependency care for one with a compromised mind—difficulties the authors knew well due to their father's decision to keep his alcohol- and opium-addicted son Branwell at home instead of institutionalizing him. Charlotte and Anne create fictional heroes who struggle to compassionately manage individuals dealing with drug addiction, mental illness, and cognitive disability, while Emily indicts the domestic sphere in the creation of such conditions.

On Charlotte Brontë's Ecological Feminist Consciousness from Fire Image in Jane Eyre
FAN Cai-xia
Journal of Changsha Normal College 2009-03
Charlotte Brontë is an expert in applying images to highlight themes of her novels. She chose "fire" image symbolizing punishment of evil and purification to repeatedly appear in Jane Eyre, which plays an important role in conveying the author's ecological feminist consciousness in the novel. The fire of love reflects the psychological impetus for female self- consciousness; the fire of blood consciousness represents the most natural feeling from the soul; the fire of nirvana is on behalf of the human pursuit of freedom.
