Which of the following does NOT accurately characterize Jane Eyre's relationship to other literary works ?
Correct answer: B. Like "Dover Beach," Jane Eyre mourns the diminishing power of Christian faith.
- A. Like Great Expectations, Jane Eyre addresses the power of wealth and class.
- B. Like "Dover Beach," Jane Eyre mourns the diminishing power of Christian faith.
- C. Through Rochester, Jane Eyre develops a Byronic hero.
- D. Like Great Expectations, Jane Eyre can be read as a bildungsroman.
Explanation
Jane Eyre engages with class, wealth, the Byronic hero, and the bildungsroman tradition. Unlike Matthew Arnold's "Dover Beach," however, it does not primarily mourn the retreat of Christian faith, so that comparison is inaccurate.
