Jane’s Oppression and Resistance

The first 12 chapters of Jane Eyre are filled with so much commotion. Jane is being treated horribly by her aunt and rest of the family she has left without reasoning. She gets beat, punished and verbally abused so often she has found ways to try to rebel against it. I feel like the last straw for Jane was  being beaten, attacked, then getting blamed and locked away in the room where her Uncle died. She then fell ill according to the servants, the ones who were once rude to her and treated her like a bottom feeder. Jane decided it was time, time for this all to come to an end. She wanted an answer to why she was being treated like such an awful person. She confronts her aunt Mrs. Reed for an answer but doesn’t seem to get one. At least not one legitimate or straightforward. Her aunt decides she’s done dealing with Jane and sends her away to a new school, her new home. Unfortunately the torment from the Reeds residence somehow followed her to this new school. She was called names and not treated equally. Jane’s life is an example of oppression. She goes through endless torturous and condescending treatment. She learns that defending herself and who she is, is the only way to get through this.  Jane showed everyone she can be just as good or  even better at what they’re doing. She did this through educating herself and staying focused on education while all the negativity around her gets thrown out.
