  4. 3. Mötet med det okända : En jämförande och symboltolkande studie av kvinnlig och manlig problematik under 1800-talets mitt såsom den är gestaltad i Charlotte Brontës Jane Eyre och Fjodor Dostojevskijs Brott och straff

    Kandidat-uppsats, Institutionen för genus, kultur och historia

    Författare :Ylva Gripfelt; [2007]
    Nyckelord :Jane Eyre; Crime and punishment Brott och straff ; gender; patriarchy; bird symbols;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this study is to investigate how the female author, Charlotte Brontë, describes the development of her female protagonist in Jane Eyre and to compare this to how the male author, Fyodor Dostoevsky, describes the development of his male protagonist in Crime and Punishment, inside the patriarchal 19th century. My basic idea is that both characters in these two books have to reach their own unknown to find satisfaction and a new existence, and I want to investigate what the characters have to go through to find that existence.
