Many times workers had to leave their home for work, wherever work could be found. Jane Eyre must leave her adopted home of Lowood to seek her new situation at Thornfield Hall.
Many times governesses were limited one job situation, which led to many being unhappy with their lack of mobility in life. Although Jane liked her situation as Adele's governess, some others were not so lucky.
Although Jane is paid thirty pounds a year, most governesses were not so fortunate. Most others also did not have the friendly relationship Jane had with her pupil Adele, and were therefore left fairly lonely.
Many workers were confined within a certain area of work, much like this chair is confined to stay inside by this window. As this chair is not bolted down, neither is the worker who always hopes for a chance of a new situation or job. They rarely advanced, though, due to scarcity.
Just like there are many raindrops from the sky, there were many workers. This meant it was not always easy to find new situations.
Although it was not common, some workers were able to change status levels and become part of the middle or even high class, as Jane did when she became an heiress.
Great, framed and often artful shots, with accompanying commentary. Very well done.
ReplyDeleteI really like your picture with all of the rain drops, that is a great comparison. Also, your commentary was well done and matched well with the pictures you chose.
ReplyDeleteI thought your picture of the chair was really interesting.
