Throughout Bronte’s “Jane Eyre,” the superstitious presence surrounding Jane represents her transformation from an insecure young girl to a strong, independent woman. Bronte showed us her development in each stage of her life through her use of superstition displayed in the locations where she lived. Although Jane lives most of her life in the adventurous, unknown world, she is given the choice to do what is expected and live a life of honor and plainness; however, she eventually realized that she could not live a life so plain because she couldn’t live without the adventure. At the beginning of the novel, the superstitious presence in the red room shows Jane’s insecurity about herself; the room itself gives a description of her personality through the room’s appearance. As she looks around the room, she recalls that “it was in this chamber he,” her uncle, “breathed his last” (19).

She would let her imagination run wild and this kept her spirit alive.
Flaubert’s Madame Bovary describes the tragic life of Emma Bovary, an ordinary country girl who grew up to be a woman with false and idealistic visions of romance, love and wealth. In the first part of the novel, readers are introduced to Emma and gains an understanding of her childhood, her naive character and how her unrealistic ideals takes a toll on her physical, emotional and mental states. Flaubert reveals little of Emma’s character until after the wedding where she becomes Madame Bovary, and the reader starts to realize that unlike Charles, Emma already regrets the marriage. “And Emma sought to find out exactly what was meant in real life by the words felicity, passion and rapture, which had seemed so fine on the pages of the books.” (Flaubert 27) This is the first instance in the book where it is suggested that Emma is disillusioned about romance and discontent with her life. She often compares her own life with that she reads in books, without realizing how unreasonable her dreams and desires seem.

It is evident that the transition in coming of age is not easy because of the many challenges Negi and her family faced. For instance, as she comes of age, Esmeralda Santiago takes over the life multi-roles of student, daughter, and interpreter for her family. She lacks the ability to speak good English, her family is poor, and she is alienated because she comes from a different culture.
