[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] Nog: "And we're back. For those of you just joining us my guests are Starfleet Admiral Ross and recently confirmed Chancellor of the Klingon High Council, Martok. Now gentlemen, before the commercial break we were discussing the conflicts between Gothic and Classical styles at work in [i]Jane Eyre[/i]. Chancellor, I believe you had some insight into the relationship between Jane's position in the Red Room and her overall progression from Gateshead to Ferndean Manor?" Martok: "Well, Nog, as my colleague here had mentioned, traditional thinking holds that there is a connection between her "inprisonment" in the room and the rigorous gender boundaries of the day. But as I reread the text I find myself thinking more and more that Jane was in fact adhering to the ancient Klingon practice of bo'kamahi, or the subtle control through the maternal. By accepting Rochester's proposal she is not so much submitting to him, and by extension to the traditional female role in such a marraige as she is transcending that submission in a way that will leave her in true control of his House and fortunes. Ross: "Nog, we've had this discussion before. I just don't see room for this interpretation of Bronte's work. Obviously, she was on Earth on the time, not Qo'noS." Martok: "Bah! Charlotte had a Klingon soul!" [/QB][/QUOTE]
