You've posted in the wrong category, but that's probably irrelevant - I can't see many people rushing to tackle your lengthy... assignment. Even reading the two chapters would be a bit much, never mind answering the many and detailed questions.

Homework/ coursework is to be done by YOU...not us.
You might actually learn something about the treatment of women in Victorian society. Give it a go...I'm saying this as it's what's best for you. Not asking strangers to do the work for you.

I haven't even heard of the book.

I read it many years ago. I enjoyed it. It's actually a short story.
I might read it again.

You're going to have to read your own chapters, I'm afraid. It shouldn't take you long.

I never mind answering homework questions but to answer yours I would have to read the book - and that’s not something I want to do. I can only suggest that in order to find the answers to your questions you read it.

You should read it Naomi, I think you'd find it interesting.

jno, thanks for that background article.
