Brontë, Trollope and Collins’ Heroine Characterizations and Their Views on Victorian Women
Xinyin Chen
By looking at how authors characterize their characters in novels, by analyzing how authors make their characters talk, behave, think, we can catch a glimpse of how they think of their characters, as well as a specific social group those characters represent. In this paper, we will focus on Charlotte Brontë, Anthony Trollope and Wilkie Collins’ different views on their heroines’ nature and on Victorian women’s nature in general by extension, based on their different heroine characterizations and their usages of language to do so in Jane Eyre, Barchester Towers and The Woman in White. Generally, this paper reaches the conclusion that Bronte hopes Victorian women be affectionate and independent; Collins hopes them be innocent and submissive, while Trollope rejects female conformity, and views them as varied and multifaceted individuals.
Literature as an Interpretation: The adaptations of Wuthering Heights
Aguilera-López, María-Belen
Universidad de Jaén. Filología Inglesa
El objetivo de investigación es analizar las diferentes formas de transformar un trabajo literario en una película. Para este propósito he elegido diferentes adaptaciones cinematográficas de la novela Wuthering Heights de Emily Brontë. En este análisis, expondré las diferencias entre ellas y la obra original, centrado mi atención en solo tres aspectos de las mismas: la historia que cuentan, dónde y cuándo transcurren los hechos y los personajes que participan en esos hechos. Las tres versiones elegidas para este análisis son: Wuthering Heights (1939), Abismos de Pasión (1954) y Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights (1992).
