Abstract

Abstract
Multiple marriage proposals in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and Charlotte
Brontë's Jane Eyre are the focus of this article. I'll demonstrate how the narrative
structures of Austen's and Brontë's works are fundamentally shaped by the inclusion
of two proposals, one from Darcy and the other from Rochester. In order to illustrate
when a proposal should be accepted, I will look at how Austen and Brontë present their
heroines with multiple proposals. Through discussions with a number of literary
experts who study Austen and Brontë, this thesis will place Elizabeth Bennet and Jane
Eyre's decisions in context. The first chapter will analyze Darcy and Elizabeth's
evolving relationship and discuss Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. The second
chapter will look at Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë and how her personal journey
connects to her relationship with Rochester. I'll also look at how each author illustrates
how gender norms and stereotypes can be detrimental to both one's personal growth
and the stability of a relationship.
