Question

Read the excerpt.

“Well,” I asked impatiently, “is not Mrs. Reed a hard-hearted, bad woman?”

Which element of fiction is revealed in this passage from Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Brontë?


theme


character


plot


setting

Answer 1

I believe it would be character as they believe that Mrs. Reed is a hard-hearted, bad woman. I would think that revels a characteristic of a character.

Answer 2

The answer is B: character

Fiction provides the audience an insight into the lives of the characters and their manners, vicissitudes etc, and, without pointing out specific individuals, it can express emotions in a light way. The character's qualities can be described by the author, or by another character, or even by the characters themselves.
