The Gothic Experience: Female Imprisonment, Madness, and Escape
Essay from Indiana University Dissertations Publishing ▪︎ 45 minute read
This text is over 300 pages long, I would recommend just looking at pages 143-160 (155-172 in pdf). There are a few mentions of other Gothic texts, they're not super important, so feel free to skip over those paragraphs. If you're interested in Jane and the systems and environments and restrain her, it's a good read.
**CW: this excerpt reflects and reproduces Brontë calling Jane a slave (on the first page of the excerpt)
