Jane Eyre: 1-12

Throughout Jane’s entire life, she has been oppressed by older figures, mainly males. But it was not until Jane met Helen that she started understanding the meaning of acceptance and tranquility. After having such a harsh childhood from losing her parents to Typhus to having to take all Mrs. Reed’s crap. It seemed as if Mrs. Reed was out to get her. From stuffing her into the ‘Red Room” where her uncle had died in, to not listening to  her screams as she was having an actual panic attack. The one thing that had put Jane over the edge was telling Mr. Brocklehurst that Jane lies to get attention. She was humiliated infront of the whole school, until Helen came to the rescue letting her know it will all blow over. God bless Helen, he angel that she is for saving her friend Jane’s life that day. Thank god that Mr. Brocklehurt was seen to be as the cause of Typhus and his leaving directly related to Jane’s future success in leaving Lowood. After going to Thornfield, we see that Jane is finally happy, tutoring the very intelligent and vibrant Adele. I am itching to know what’s going on after that cliffhanger we are left on when she is greeted by Gytrash the spirit and Mr. Rochesters dog, Pilot. Once Jane finds out the dog is his, the plot thickens…
