Family Dynamics of Jane Eyre and Sula

rack the ways in which the authors of each text develop and explore the theme you’ve chosen. Read closely: what literary devices do they use to engage with this theme? How does the author use structure, motif, symbol, narrative style, or point of view to expose a larger thematic concern? How might the authors’ treatment of this theme differ? How might it be similar?Though this prompt is intentionally broad, the best responses will be specific. For example, if you choose the theme of violence, hone in on a specific form of violence—e.g. violence between parents and children; if you choose the theme of family, focus on specific family dynamics/relationships—emotional distance between brothers and sisters, for example.
