About this resource
Read the opening of Chapter I in Anne Brontë’s Agnes Grey. Agnes offers her story as a possible source of instruction and invites readers to judge its value. Her account of family affection later identifies a cost: protection has left her dependent. Consider how these admissions shape our trust. A candid narrator can guide a reader’s sympathy without removing the need to test her interpretations.
