AI JANE EYRE


1-14
A
"you have no buisness to take our books; you are a dependent."
my terror had passed.
"you are like a murderer"
I really saw in him a tyrant: a murderer.

I
the boy seems to not like Jane. It seems like he consideres her as a slave. His dislike of Jane is extreme the only way he sees that he can talk to her is in a crude tryant like tone.
Jane is afraid of him because he hurts her. She seems him a tryant and a murderer because his attitude and his actions.

15-28
A
Red room.
massive pillars of mahogany
deep red damask
This room was chill because it seldom had a fire; it was silent, because remote fromt he nursery and kitchens; solemn because it was known to be so seldom entered.
insupportable oppression
unconsiciousness closed the scene
Guy Fawkes
Forlorness

I
The description of the red room is a room that is silent and lonely. it gives a sort of evil feeling with all the deep dark reds in that room. The room is used a punishment to Jane for what she had said to the boy. This room makes her feel lonely, cold and oppressed. She begins to scream because she believes that she sees a ghost. From all of that stress of the room and what had happened, she faints. Guy Fawkes is revolutionary. Jane is being compared to him because of all of his radical thoughts and actions. Forlorness because she seems to be sad.

29-43
A
Marked line of separtaion
condemning
she is not worth of notice
"my uncle... you wish me dead."
solitary and silent nursery
haunted the shadowy room
hasty temper
petrified
grim face

I
She is not equal to the other children. She is not worthy of notice which could mean that it doesnt matter if she lives there she's not important enough to be noticed by anyone unless she causes trouble. Jane thinks that her aunt wants her dead because she doesnt pay any attention to her and treats her miserably. The nursery room is silent and solitary because there is nobody there but Jane. Betty has a hasty temper but cares about jane. Jane was petrified when she had to meet with the man. He gave her a grim face because of the characteristics jane had.

44-57

A
monitors
wind rave in furious gusts
buisness now began
universal manifestation of discontent
dicipline prevailed
prayers

I
Montiors are the students who organize and collect things
wind raves in furious gusts mean that the students are hurried to get dressed and ready for class becauce they could fear the consequence of not being ready.
buisness now began meant that the day was beginning and that there was no time for fun.
Universal manifestation of discontent meant that the breakfast was not appealing to them.
dicipline prevailed means that if somebody did something wrong they were punished. punishment seems to be the best way to teach somebody.
prayers this school is heavy on praying. they seem to be devoted to the lord and read a lot into the bible.


58-72


A
life appears to me too short to be spent in nursing animosity, or registering wrongs.
extends hope to all
I can forgive the fist while I arbor the last.
sundays were dreary days
sunday evening was spent in repearing by heart the chuch of catechism.
defiance of every precept
"a careless girl"
"...this girl is a liar."



I
Life is to short to hold grudges.
It seems like Helen's telling jane to not hold a grudge against the teacher. That she should forgive.
The sundays were sad days because of the sermons that they had to sit through.
when mr. brocklehurst sees a girl with a curl in her hair. he thinks that she is going agaist the rules he had set. It makes it seem like hes trying to make all of these girls conform to the idea of likeness and that they should not think on their on only do as they are told.
Careless because jane dropped something and mr.brocklehurst punished her eventhough it was an accident. After on mistake he considers jane to be a liar. even though he had not seen her lie before he still believes what mrs. reed had told him.
72-85
A
tea
brilliant fire
kindness of her beloved instructress
patient
unresentfull
rules relaxed
disease

I
ms.temple invites jane and helen for tea. it shows that she trully cares about jane and wants to know the truth.
patient and unresentful show that helen holds no grudges and she is passive
rules relaxed shows that as the year moves on the rules of the school are not as strict as they were at the beginning of the year.
the majority of the girls get sick because they are underfed.

86-99

A
interrupted chain of my reflections



I
she is daydreaming


100-114
A
impulse of gratitude
meditating
sufficiently docile
bohemian glass
ruby red



I
Jane is the governess for mr.rochester.
she was hoping to get that she would get to leave lowood.
the discription of some of the objects in mr.rochesters house make it seem like he is very rich.



115-129
A
Pictures
1. clouds low and livid
2. dim peak of hill w/ grass
3. iceberg piercing the polar sky.


I
these pictures could symbolize in way janes life. the 1st picture being of her childhood at gatesheld. second when she was at lowood, and third while she is working for mr.rochester.


130-144
A
i dont wish to treat you like an inferior.
paid subordinates
repentance is siad to be its cure
numerous sins

I
mr. rochester wants to treat jane as an equal. that shows a change in janes life because she has always been seen as someone lower.
paid subordinates can refer to a person who will do as they are told for money.
biblical suggestions to fix a situation.

145-169
A
threading this chaos

I
implies that she is adding on to the problems that are already there.

170-184
A
Genius is said to be self-conscious
beauty is in the eye of the gazer.
I am so sick of the young men of the present day

I
when jane says that beauty is in the eye of the gazer. she is saying that about mr.rochester. he might not have been the best looking to everyone but to her he is hansome.
it can be inferred that the men of the present day are no so appealing as they were back then and that their attitudes and values have changed.

185-199
A
there was nothing to cool or banish love in these circumstances; though much to create despair.
i saw that he was going to marry her , for family, perhaps political reasons.


I
Jane is figuring out that mr.rochester is going to marry someones else. but not for love but for
money and family. She is upset about it because she wants to be with mr. rochester because she loves him a lot.
200-214
A
i wish i were in a quiet island with only you; and trouble, and danger, and hideous recollections removed from me.
I should have more pleasure in staying with you.
my pulse stopped: my heart stood still;


I
mr.rochester wants to be with jane. but he makes it seem that in their society they could never be together.
jane would rather stay with mr.rochester than leave him
something startled jane


215-229
A

equivocal demonstrations
dark, misty, raw morning

I
unknown demonstrations
gives off a feeling that something bad might happen.


229-243
A

my tears had risen, just as in childhood
swollen and blackened face
inexorable soul
Rochester went to buy a carriage.
"You must see the carriage, Jane, and tell me if you don’t think it will suit Mrs. Rochester exactly.”


I
she was crying over the fact that her cousin killed himself
carriage would be a sign that he is for sure gonna marry blanche.
by having jane look at the carriage its almost as if he is seeking her approval of the marriage.


244-258
A
“I was obliged to yield.”

Rochester kisses jane

tree is hit by lightning



I

from the quote it shows that, jane, although she may be independent the majority of the time still obeys rochester.

shows his affection for jane and that he wants to be with her.

the tree being hit by lightning is sort of ironic because that was the tree that jane and rochester sat under.

258-272
A

rochester wants to dress jane up in the finest clothing.

jane writes her uncle and asks him to put her as the heir to his fortunes




I
by having jane dress up it shows that rochester is trying to make jane into a person of the upper class so that way perhaps she will be accepted more.

jane wants her uncles fortune because she believes that will make her equal to rochester and once that happens she will be able to be considered equal in her eyes.




272-286
A
jane has a dream of a child

a strange woman tears apart her wedding dress

grace poole



I
the dream could represent how far she is away from rochester and that the crying child is her not wanting to be with him or have his kids.

who is this lady? i mean she must be mad or something because she tore the hell out of that dress.




287-311

A
the woman was bertha

rochester explains that was his first wife

insane

mother insane
leaves thornfield

I

this could mean that rochester is having an affair.

well technically he is but with jane as the mistress.

bertha is insane because of genetics.

i think the only reason he married her was for the $$$$

maybe she is trying to escape her problems


312-340


A

st.john

jane elliot


I

new employer and perhaps a new beginning for jane

she may have given a false name to hide her past. or so that way her past wouldnt catch up w/her.


341-367

A

diane likes janes drawings

why doesnt she consider herself equal to the others in the higher society if she is so smart?

janes uncle lead mr. rivers into a bad business deal

rosamond oliver


I

shows that she accepts jane more

jane seem contradictory of herself because she believes that she is as smart as the high class people and yet she some what puts herself down.

it shows that jane might feel guilty because she was the cause of rivers problem

jane assumes that rosamound is in love with st.john.


368-391

A

mr.biggs

fortune


I

mr. biggs is looking for jane so that way he can give her the fortune that her uncle left her.

her fortune is 20,000 pounds


392-412


A

jane eyre

family

I

tells st.john her real name which can mean that she trusts him or that she just wants the money

she finally found a family. she feels accepted finally. with this new feeling of acceptance she decides to split her money with her new "family" memebers



413-432

A

jane no longer likes st.john

rochesters voice

bertha mason burned house

death


I

her feelings have gone back to rochester.

the voice in her dream could represent the longing that she has to be with rochester

bertha burned the house down and killed herself because of the insanity


433-451


A

bertha mason

jane and rochester



I

with bertha mason out of the way jane feels more secure in marrying rochester.

they love eachother a lot and jane vows that she will never leave him again.


452-456

A

marriage

story - ten years

st.john

holy crap the novel is done


I

jane and rochester marry in a church with only like 2 witnesses.

since she has written this 10 years later in her marriage...can i really believe everything that she says?

st.john thinks he may die.


i didnt realize that the last chapter was so damn short.... yeah...
