whole place to fire

fire Jane’s love for him in jurors and

number six Jane Eyre where are your
parents
dead you remember them no as the novel’s
main character we learn from Jane that
she’s an orphan and had an abusive
childhood this has pushed her to retreat
into her own world yet Jane is also very
passionate and doesn’t believe in unjust
punishment so she’ll make her beliefs
known if need be children must be
corrected for their faults deceit is but
my fault you’re passionate uncle Reed

you hate me wishing me dead they can see
they see everything you do and they will
judge you mrs. Reed she carries this
into adulthood as demonstrated by her
refusal to stay with Rochester when she
finds out he’s already married I must
respect myself she is a teacher to
others but Jane also accepts guidance
and mentoring from other females when it
comes to men Jane is more likely to
stand her ground but she can be
forgiving and romantic
number five Edward Fairfax Rochester
who’s mr. Rochester why the owner of
Thornfield miss Edward Fairfax Rochester
as the master of Thornfield Hall Edward
is an older and not particularly
good-looking man but he’s very
passionate about what he wants
especially Jane he’s critical and
emotionally conflicting nature make him
a bionic hero
it had condemnation for my sake the sake
of any friend who deserved it though he
can be quite violent he justifies his
actions such as locking up his crazy
wife with the reasoning that right and
wrong can be relative according to the
situation James come all of you meet my
wife number four Sinjin Eyre rivers
Sinjin is a clergyman who saves Jane’s
life after she loses consciousness she’s
no vagrant I’m sure of it nice milk for
you while his hospitality shows his
softer side the extremely religious man
is mostly driven by his ambition to
become a missionary in India he’s so
devoted to this that he’s willing to
give up his love for a woman named Miss
Rosamond Oliver because he doesn’t think
she’d make a good wife I want to claim
you favorite instead he asks his cousin
Jane to marry him despite his lack of
feelings for her and ends up going
without her at the end how can I take
out to India a girl of 19 unless she is
my wife I love you as a brother as a
husband now number three values and
themes one of Jane Ayres most prominent
themes is the characters different
approaches to morality what fault do you
find with me I have all my limbs and
features I beg your pardon sir I ought
to have replied the beauty is of little
consequence however society in class
religion the relationship between men
and women as well as love and
forgiveness are also important
number two modern popularity published
in 1857 under Kerr Bell Jane Eyre wasn’t
well-received initially because it
seemed to reject Victorian principles

staple in high school English literature
