Scholarship and comments by Anne's sister Charlotte Bronte? suggest the novel is largely based on Anne Bronte?'s own experiences as a governess for five years. Like her sister Charlotte's novel Jane Eyre, it addresses what the precarious position of governess entailed and how it affected a young woman.The choice of central character allows Anne to deal with issues of oppression and abuse of women and governesses, isolation and ideas of empathy. An additional theme is the fair treatment of animals. Agnes Grey also mimics some of the stylistic approaches of bildungsromans, employing ideas of personal growth and coming to age, but representing a character who in fact does not gain in virtue. 606 $aGovernesses$7Generated by AI 606 $aWomen$xSocial conditions$7Generated by AI 615 0$aGovernesses 615 0$aWomen$xSocial conditions 700 $aSheba Blake$01887968 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910165242403321 996 $aAgnes Grey$94526124 997 $aUNINA
