Both of Audre Lorde’s pieces The Transformation of Silence into Language and Action and The Master’s Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master’s House convey a very strong message of speaking out against the oppression and your oppressor no matter the consequences.  This same idea is seen on page 35 of Jane Eyre when Jane retaliates towards Mrs. Reed after the meeting with Mr. Brocklehurst where Mrs. Reed explains that Jane is a deceitful child and must be watched closely and at all times.  On page 2 of Lorde’s The Master’s Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master’s House, she explains that women who “still define the master’s house as their only source of support” are the one’s who fear the consequences of standing up for one self which is what Jane Eyre feels in most situations where she feels like retaliating.  She reminds herself that she would have no other place to live and that this living situation is better than no living situation however on page 35, that second thought goes away and she more closely relates to what Lorde’s daughter says in The Transformation of Silence,” if you don’t speak it out one day it will just up and punch you in the mouth from outside”.  This urge just burst from Jane’s mouth declares her dislike for Mrs. Reed and the fact that she is unhappy with the fact that she had called her deceitful.  After Jane was done, she explains that her “soul began to expand, to exult, with the strangest sense of freedom, of freedom, [that she] ever felt”.  This feeling is closely related to what Lorde is urging her readers/listeners to feel, the “source of power within [oneself]”.  I think that Audre Lorde would be proud of Jane Eyre in this specific scene.
