Jane Eyre Reading journal chapter 11

Summary

Jane travels to Thornfiled. Jane arrives at Thornfield and meets Mrs Fairfax and Adele, she hears 'Grace Poole' laugh.

Themes

Freedom, she is free of the constraints of her childhood, she is no longer under someone else reign.

Religion, she thanks God for the changesbrought about by the move, reader notices that it's when she feels that she has been blessed that sher is closer to Gofd

Character

She at first confuses Mrs Fairfax for the owner of Thornfield. She is extremely relieved to find out that Mrs Fairfax isnice and not cold and severe as she expected, this reflects on Jane's experience of figures of authorit so far, none of whom she has respected, she's just been terrified, with the exception of Miss Temple, but who at the same time it was clear that she was not the head of authority, (Mr Brockelhurst was)

Narrative voice

A much more positive Jane.

Interesting extracts

'The charm of the adventure sweetens that sensation, the glow of pride warms it: but the throb of fear disturbs it.' even though she is excited, and proud that she has had the courage to move on their is still a tiny glow worm of fear encapsulted into her happiness.
