agricultural resources. An area of developed
concern is the Aral Sea. The Aral Sea was once the
fourth largest lake in the world, located in

Rochester And Jane Fire And Water
1,950 words
Critics such as Adrienne Rich argue that Jane Eyre
has to choose between the "temptation" of
following the rule of passion by marrying
Rochester, which would have made her dependent on
him and not his equal, or of living a life of
complete renunciation of all passions, by marrying
St John Rivers. Fire and water imagery symbolizes
the two forces competing for dominance in Jane
Eyre, both on a personal and metaphorical level.
Throughout the novel, such imagery is used by
