The purpose of this paper is to analyze short stories in Jane Austen's Juvenilia, such as “Beautifull Cassandra," "Jack & Alice," and "Henry & Eliza," and to examine how the works diverge from other "rules of conduct" books in the late Eighteenth Century. As representative characters of Austen's early writing, the precocious heroines of the narratives, Cassandra, Alice, and Eliza act as self-liberating entities from the feminine boundaries imposed on them in the society of the time. The female characters are inculpable and contest the conservative environment, which reflects a larger condemnation of the societal condition of women. Furthermore, the heroines exemplify a female rejection of the patriarchal and male-dominated mainstream. They willingly wander from gender, class and age norms of the period, thereby ascending beyond traditional perimeters set by the male-dominated society. Also, with the dramatic use of parody and melodrama to shape the characters' respective narratives, Austen makes a comment on the irrationality of prescribed female societal roles caused by the operating patriarchs, thus presenting her characters as triumphant amid their societal indiscretion and transgression.
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to analyze short stories in Jane Austen's Juvenilia, such as “Beautifull Cassandra," "Jack & Alice," and "Henry & Eliza," and to examine how the works diverge from other "rules of conduct" books in the late Eighteenth Century. As representative characters of Austen's early writing, the precocious heroines of the narratives, Cassandra, Alice, and Eliza act as self-liberating entities from the feminine boundaries imposed on them in the society of the time. The female characters are inculpable and contest the conservative environment, which reflects a larger condemnation of the societal condition of women. Furthermore, the heroines exemplify a female rejection of the patriarchal and male-dominated mainstream. They willingly wander from gender, class and age norms of the period, thereby ascending beyond traditional perimeters set by the male-dominated society. Also, with the dramatic use of parody and melodrama to shape the characters' respective narratives, Austen makes a comment on the irrationality of prescribed female societal roles caused by the operating patriarchs, thus presenting her characters as triumphant amid their societal indiscretion and transgression.
