Comparison Of Jane Eyre And Pride And Prejudice

Megan Stager Professor Jegede Introduction to Literature 10/30/2017 Compare and Contrast the Social Caste System and Personal Ideations in the books â€Å"Jane Eyre† by Emily Bronte and â€Å"Pride and Prejudice† by Jane Austin Two names that ran the gauntlet of 19th century romance and changed the way on how it was written and depicted forever.
