In the book Jane Eyre, Mr. Rochester has a wife who has gone mad. He can't technically leave her because of her status. He can't enjoy marriage on the other hand. So how does he get out of the situation so he can enjoy himself? He tries to have a polygamy marriage (having more than one wife).
Polygamy is not found much in the United States. It is mainly found out in Utah where Mormons are. I do not agree with the way these people act. I think it is not fair for children to have to grow up in this lifestyle and become what I think as "brainwashed". I don't understand why Charlotte Bronte would put something like this in her book Jane Eyre?
This is probably the most interesting post in the class. Polygamy is not okay. It's very strange. There is a reality show about it called Sister Wives. I watched it once and I was just creeped out. Also, the man has 6 kids with each of his wives. That is too many. Also, that's not even legal, I don't know how he can get away with that..
ReplyDeleteI totaly agree with you guys. Polygamy is just weird. and I have seen that show Sister Wives also, but couldn't watch it for long. I too am questioning why Charlotte Bronte would put such an idea in her book.
