.....NOVELS.....

     ......Great Expectation by Charles Dickens, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, Wuthering Height by Emily Bronte and The Awakening by Kate Chopin. Those are the novels that we have to study for EDU3215 Teaching The Language of Novels with Puan Juridah Md Rashid in Semester 6. Those novels are good and gave me a big impact on the views of women roles.

       In Great Expectation and Pride and Prejudice,both novels have the common theme that is love and expectation in the context of human relationships. Love plays an important role in life and through love; one has their own expectation in life. Love lies in everyone’s heart. Love can be defined in various meaning. To find true love or soul mate is another matter in life. Great Expectation is written by the first points of view while Pride and Prejudice is written by the third point of view. These two novels are snobbish concern for status, especially in terms of appearances or show. The main characters in both novels have a very strong characterization.  Thus, at once, the question is held up to scrutiny, whether a man's wealth exists at least partly to secure a wife. 
       We do need love to shower our lives. Wuthering Height and The Awakening, their themes consist of strong loves. Indeed, love is everyone’s needed in life. Love is strong and passion. It grows and changes in one’s life. The strongest love develops the characters in both novels. They can therefore show us how the authors of this time became more daring and defiant in the creation of these characters. Kate Chopin was ostracized from society when The Awakening was first published. This was because her character, Edna made such a departure from the female characters of earlier nineteenth-century novels, which shocked and appalled her society. In Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte evokes us the character of Heathcliff. He becomes strong because he has love and also strong to fulfill his desires. 

     All those authors are brilliant. Their novels were written at their aged but the issues they highlighted still remains until now. Through the novels, I am more appreciate novels and also l learn a lot about life especially in women roles and what the women will do if they are facing those conflicts. It widen my experience about moral, love and women attitude.
