Q4:What are some of the incidents in the plot that might have been labled melodramatic or improbable? Why might these episodes have been included despite the author’s intention of developing a realistic novel?
“The man who has no imagination, has no wings” A young woman by the name of Jane Eyre from the Charlotte Bronte coming of age novel Jane Eyre has a vivd imagination.

John Reed for instance when Jane is just a child, he strikes her, she then describes her rage, and how she reacts with inadvertent self defense. The description although very dramatic, reveals the humanity in Jane; her passion, the rage, and her anger. Furthermore when Jane is 18, Her departure from Mr.Rochester’s estate in Thornfeild, England, Jane drags out her departing by describing how she felt and her every move.

I ought probably to have done or said something: but I was so tortures be a sense of remorse”-Chapter 27 pg. 308 As an illustration the attacks that Jane describes, which is later said
