“Hope” is the thing with feathers this poem apt metaphor for Jane Eyre’s life. Emily Dickinson write hope is the thing with feathers, perches in the soul, sweetest, and sore in storm. This is how Jane Eyre’s life look like. When she was little based on her aunt’s jealousy and not keep her promise, so she got the unfair treatment. Finally leave her aunt’s house to the school and got her first friend. But Helen die when they get along well. I think this also is a turning point for her life. Just like Emily mentioned in her poem sweetest, and sore in storm. Jane Eyre has gradually become a strong, knowledge, and hope women. In chapter 25 to 26 when Jane Eyre are going to get her happiness storm coming. She know Mr. Rochester has a wife and still a life. However, it never stop Jane Eyre she standing up for herself. She is like “the bird” in Emily’s poem full with hopeful no matter how hard and strong the storm was happen in her life. All of then clearly expressed hope has always been there.
