The novel dramatizes the difficulties of an educated, unmarried and penniless woman looking for work in nineteenth century English society. The position of a governess was much coveted as a respectable career path. However, life in that situation could offer up as much punishment as privilege. Working for disparaging, unpleasant and inconsiderate households was a pitfall in this profession. Even in matters of the heart, it was often a drudgery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"793\" data-end=\"942\"\u003eHow will Agnes Grey overcome the unrepentant mischief wrought by an attractive student who does not hesitate to stake her claim as a rival in love?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"944\" data-end=\"1155\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"944\" data-end=\"978\"\u003e2) The Tenant of Wildfell Hall\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"978\" data-end=\"981\"\u003e\n“You know it was reported a month ago, that somebody was going to take Wildfell Hall—and—what do you think?
