The poem “Hope is the thing with feathers” by Emily Dickinson, is similar to Jane’s life.
Hope has always been the only thing that helps Jane to survive and to break all the obstacles she faces in her live. This helps her move forward in her life. Jane has been disappointed and underestimated several times in her life. Nevertheless, Jane accepted all the souffrances from her aunty, her friends and teachers at school and also from Mr. Rochester because she has an expectation that one day she will have a brillant future. Hope makes her strong and courageous to the point that she even talks about her feelings “Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain and little, I am soulless and heartless? you think wrong! I have as much as you, and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for you to leave me.” In this passage, Jane is expressing her emotions about the way she was treated. She is saying that she has feelings and heart too.
In conclusion, hope is very important in anything we doing. Because without hope a person can easily give up and can not fulfill his desires and expectations.
