Transcript
In Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre,
Jane was called upon many times to be reactive.
To react to misread.
To react to Mr Brocklehurst,
And indeed to react to.
.
.
Mr.
Rochester when he begged her to stay with him as his mistress.
I care for myself.
Jane said,
The more solitary,
The more friendless,
The more unsustained I am,
The more I will respect myself.
It was a hard path,
Charlotte thought.
Bronte wrote for Jane.
And it was semi-autobiographical.
So Jane had a working knowledge of just how difficult.
Life was just how many challenges she would be faced with and was faced with and yet she remained stowing.
The more unsustained I am,
The more I will respect myself.
This is female empowerment at its finest.
And what better a master to listen to?
And Charlotte Frontier.
Thank you for listening.
