- Jane Eyre is locked in the red room. Miss Abbot and Bessie try to calm her. She screams and Mrs Reed 'thrusts' her back into the room, she has a fit.
Characters
Jane reflects on the sense of unfairness that she feels because of the way she is treated at Gateshead, she feels that she is being made a scapegoat because she is not a Reed child and she is not pretty like Georgina.
Motifs
Red, the Red room, 'deep red damask' 'carpet was red' 'crimson cloth'
Places
The red room, haunted perhaps, the place where Mr Reed died.
Narrative voice
Changes in the chapter, becomes an older Jane Eyre reflecting rather than telling the reader what she felt at the time, reflects back on why the Reeds acted the way that they did,
'I was in discord at Gateshead; I was like nobody there; I had nothing in harmony with Mrs Reed or her children, or her chosen vassalage'
