What techniques does the author use to engage the audience and make the story effective? Charlotte uses mood(IWT pg:1 p:3) and point of view(IWT pg:1 p:5) to make the story effective and engage the audience. In the final chapter of Jane Eyre the mood was happy(IWT pg: 1 p:5). Jane wrote, "I have been married ten years. I know what it is to live entirely for and with what I love best on earth. I hold myself supremely blessed- blessed beyond what language can express; because I am my husband's life as fully as he is mine." (pg:522 p:2). Charlotte also uses point of view(IWT pg:1 p:3). She writes as the main character and also the one telling her story. Jane tells the story and includs Charlotte's outlook on things like cruelty. In the second chapter, Jane explains, "The fact is, I was a trifle beside myself; or rather, out of myself, as the French would say; I was conscious that a moment's mutiny had already rendered me liable to strange penalties, and , like any other rebel slave, I felt resolved, in my desperation to go all lengths." (pg: 17 p:1) when she got in trouble for yelling at John Reed for hurting her. Both these techniques engage the reader because they help the reader understand how the author or main character feels about a certain situation.
