In Emily Dickinsons poem, “Hope is a Thing With Feathers”, she is referring to the hope that we all carry inside us as a little bird that fly’s up or descends down according to our situations, but no matter what it will never be killed off until the moment our soul we hoist is deceased. Hope is what keeps us “warm” as what Dickinson wrote and I think she meant that its a driving force in our lives that keep us going to follow our ambitions and satisfy our goals by staying optimistic which leads to a pleasurable feeling at the end “that kept so many warm” (Line 8). I feel like this can connect very well to Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre because even though Jane had gone through a lot of stormy days in her life she still had some hope to keep her going to find a more pleasing world. She always believed in the equality of men and women and strived for that day to come. A specific scene from Jane Eyre where I think connects to Dickinsons poem wonderfully is when Jane had left Thornfield after renouncing the marriage plans with Mr. Rochester and became homeless with no money, food or job. She became desperate enough to start begging people for food or for any work that was available in a little village. Soon she came to a house where she begged once again but was rejected by the lady named Hannah and laid on the doorsteps and cried “I can but die, and I believe in God. Let me try to wait His will in silence.” (Chapter 28) Jane had nothing in life to hold anymore but the hope that was still inside her. Her hope was placed in the hands of god and its the only thing she had left to believe to keep herself “warm”.
