Inheritance, or the reception and/ or rejection, of protocols of reading determines how one reads or mis-reads. Differences in oral and written language open up possibilities for literary language the reading of which sometimes requires apparent mis-reading. This paper studies explicit theorizations of reading and misreading (Derrida, de Man, Freud), while also seeking to mobilize their insights in an analysis of reading and misreading as staged by Charlotte Brontë's novel, Jane Eyre.
