Agnes Grey (Anne Bronte)

Agnes Gray is a story that in the Victorian era was quite interesting; however, personally, today is not so exciting. It is a story that allows us to know the story of Agnes as a governess, all the problems she had to overcome and, finally, how she found love.

Some controversial issues were present in the story:

Animal abuse: The little boy who kills all those birds making them suffer.

Religion: Agnes mentioned and explained religion many times.

Feminism: The women oppresion was present all over the book.

Significant Quote:

“Reading is my favourite occupation, when I have leisure for it and books to read.” 
Anne Bronte, Agnes Grey.
