Characters
Mr Llyod is the first person in the novel which the reader sees connect with Jane, we see how she responds to kindness. Bessie is overheard telling Miss Abbot that Jane is 'to be pitied' too. Jane learns from this conversation that there is some truth in her theory that if she were prettier then she would be more liked, certainly by the servants at least.
Extracts
' "No; I should not like to be among poor people," was my reply. ' Jane feels that even if people are nice it is better to be with well off but horrible people than nice but poor people. She has never encountered true poverty, she does not know what it is like but she still says no, her upbringing has maybe rubbed off on her slightly.
