    Charlotte Brontë ’s outcry might seem exaggerated to us‚ but Victorian novels and paintings mostly do not picture the position of a governess in a positive way. Even if it might seem unusual‚ as the governess is a servant‚ a mere shade in the house of a family‚ she has yet caught the attention of artists. Maybe it is precisely her inconspicuous but obstinate presence that attracts the attention. Although she has an acknowledged status‚ she does not completely fit in her environment. She is different

    Reid’s article brings the "Unspeakable Rites" in Conrad’s "Heart of darkness" into focus. It mainly raises the question of whether critics should examine Kurtz’s rites or leave them unexamined. These rites are so horrible and terrible to the extent that critics have refused to examine them. These critics take such a stand as they tend to associate the ambiguity centring around Kurtz’s rites with Conrad’s desire to leave them shrouded in uncertainty. They‚ thus‚ see no reason for examining them. However

Since the accession of critical methods concerned with representation as an ideological
