2. Cold Read Task: Jane Eyre Jane Eyre is a novel written by Charlotte Bronte, set in England, that depicts Jane’s journey from orphaned child to heiress after working as a governess in a wealthy household and falling in love with the master of the house. Read Chapter 7 of Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte independently. Focus: Writers often highlight the values of a culture or a society by using characters who are alienated from that culture or society because of gender, race, class, or creed. Carefully read the excerpt from Jane Eyre. Then, take note of when the author uses various literary devices (such as irony, characterization, and figurative language) to provide social commentary, or how the character’s alienation reveals the surrounding society’s assumptions and moral values. Answer the following questions: 1. How would you best describe the central idea of this chapter? 2. Which phrase from the chapter best helps develop the central idea? 3. How does the central idea of this chapter relate to Chaucer’s themes in The Canterbury Tales? 1. Drama warm-up
