Abstract
This analysis of Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë and Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë focuses on the feeling of anger and how it shapes the dynamic between the main characters of the novels. This thesis will explore the sentiment of ire in the novels, focusing on its origin and identifying it mainly through a feminist lens. In Jane Eyre I will focus on the shift from expression of anger to repression of anger, concerning the character of Rochester, and the contrary regarding Jane, all the while identifying the source of their rage as their inability to fit into society. In Wuthering Heights I will analyse Catherine and Heathcliff’s shifts from expression, to suppression, to expression once again, by taking into consideration their roles as misfits.
