Not to be cliche, but this novel has been an emotional roller coaster of historical values, Gothic elements, femininity, religion, social status, self-discovery, love and marriage, and should I go on?  You know what it’s my blog so as continued… religion, gender discrimination, class struggle, and the role of family.  Now that we have covered the thematic prevalence's that Jane Eyre has taught my teenager-white-male-self, I’d like to thank Charlotte Bronte for undoubtedly boosting my level of culturedness (if you will).?  I think everyone can agree that reading this novel has been an educational experience to say the least, one that has taught 21st century males specifically, to stop being overbearing in their relationships with their independent-driven partners.

The ending of the novel was quite simple to my taste as I would have preferred a devastating end - a bloodbath perhaps... reading Othello has certainly gotten to me.  I do give credit to the scene where Rochester’s house blazed into a devastating end to his insane wife- I certainly smiled when reading that.  Otherwise, Bronte concluded her novel in an investing and proper manner, checking off the boxes on her list of several thematic messages that she had developed so carefully throughout the story.  I enjoyed the simplistic end and I am sure the collectives of my peers can say the same.

Chapters 34-38 are decorated in Jane’s final approach to achieving autonomy in a loving relationship with someone she loves.  St. John’s proposal was one that would suppress Jane’s intentions of her desired outtake on life.  The Christian cued proposal was laughable as to our knowledge of Jane’s independence, such that she would never allow herself to become a partner with someone who treated her as unequal.  Of course, Jane crawled back to her true love, Mr. Rochester, after he called for her, seemingly in a mystical manner, which prompted her to find him and rekindle in their relationship.  Rochester had succumbed to be blind after a fire incident at Thornfield, enabling Jane to feel more dependent, as Rochester would be unable to assert dominance over her.  Her love for him is seen in the following quote:

No woman was ever nearer to her mate than I am: ever more absolutely bone of his bone, and flesh of his flesh. I know no weariness of my Edward’s society: he knows none of mine, any more than we each do of the pulsation of the heart that beats in our separate bosoms; consequently, we are ever together.

As seen, Bronte has concluded Jane’s story in a ‘happily-ever-after’ climax, such that she finds herself content in a bonding marriage that does not suppress her interdependence and femininity that she has portrayed throughout the plot.  Myself and the audience can unquestionably agree that Jane’s final decision is one that makes the most sense to her goals in life, and that her struggle to find bonds with people in her life can finally be behind her.

Jane’s Unknowing Path: Rekindled Family?

# data[].attributes.body
In a frenzied personal dialogue, a whimsical Jane expresses her pure joy in realization of her new familial circumstance.  Bronte allows her character to break the fourth wall; an occasional gesture that occurs only so often - marking the importance of the present moment being.

“I stopped: I could not trust myself to entertain, much less to express, the thought that rushed upon me-that embodied itself-that, in a second, stood out a strong, solid probability.  Circumstances knit themselves, fitted themselves, shot into order: the chain that had been lying hitherto a formless lump of links was drawn out straight--every ring was perfect, the connexion complete.  I knew, by instinct, how the matter stood, before St. John had said another word; but I cannot expect the reader to have the same intuitive perception, so I must repeat his explanation.”

Bronte must think her audience are simpletons for us not to catch on to St. John’s inclination of his family’s relation to Miss Eyre.  The chapter beforehand we witnessed a suspicious St. John ripping a piece of paper off from Jane’s papers.  Who knew it would lead to this rekindled moment - JANE HAS FOUND KIND AND LOVING RELATIVE’S, an inspiring occasion that has been long overdue in Jane’s timeline.  Jane can now affirm these relations alongside herself until the end of her days because ‘family is for life’, as some say.  All till this moment, Jane had left every person behind in her life, a measure that has been taken to become independent, which no longer poses a problem.  She can be with people who care for her and applaud her achievements when the time is due. Splitting John Eyre’s inheritance for Jane among her new family members is the first step to an uplifting future for Miss Eyre.

Jane Eyre: Reaffirming Her Individuality and Aspiration

# data[].attributes.body
A paralyzing choice to leave her first true love - is one that I thought Jane had been incapable of doing, as she spiraled into Rochester’s endearment.   Miss Eyre surprises her audience by overcoming the desire to be in the relationship - proving to the audience her continued self-appreciation and incentive to be a self-sufficient woman.  Leaving behind the imprisonment that Rochester would cause her, in turn, opens the novel’s plot into new and eccentric opportunities for Jane.

For a moment, myself and my fellow reader’s, were awaiting each and every moment that seemed to end in doom, as Gothic elements hinted at the shortcomings of Jane’s life at Thornfield.  However, we can breathe easy again, to know that there is more to Jane’s story, then a sullen downfall into a love-spiraling death pit.

Chapters 28-33 represent a fourth stage in our protagonist’s life - one which freshens Jane’s outlook on her faith, along with a new subset of character’s: Hannah, Diana, Marry, St. John, and Rosamond in the regenerative setting of Marsh-End and Morton.  Jane’s new friends, and later as we find out, long lost family - allow Miss Eyre to find relationships that do not pose uncertainties and a job that emphasizes Jane’s intelligence.

Jane Eyre Confesses: A Surprise or a Horror?

# data[].attributes.body
"I grieve to leave Thornfield: I love Thornfield: I love it because I have lived in it a full and delightful life- momentarily at least.  I have not been trampled on.  I have not been petrified... I have talked face to face with, with what I reverence with what I delight in- with an original, a vigorous, an expanded mind.  I have known you, Mr. Rochester; and it strikes me with terror and anguish to feel I absolutely must be torn from you forever"

Evident ever since meeting Mr. Rochester, Miss Eyre has been in a romanticized fancy with her employer, though has never stated it in direct words.  Jane has finally let out her biggest secret- not much of a secret really- but nevertheless, a transitional moment in her life as she will soon be Mrs. Rochester.  This particular moment calls for celebration right?  Well no, it seems that everyone in the Thornfield house now despises Jane and sees her as an outcast, as she now is engaged to this affluent man.  A shame really, because Jane has never once in her life been given the opportunity to celebrate anything commemorative or exciting.  In all honesty, it seems as if Jane has walked into Mr. Rochester's entrapment, a deed that he seems to have been working towards for a long time now.  He has been a suspicious character with unknown motives the entire novel, and has now unveiled that he wished to evoke Miss Eyre's true compassion toward him by lying about casting her away to Ireland.  Why now, does he allow her to be with him as a partner?  Was it not obvious she has loved him for months on end?  Whatever it be, the Gothic elements that haunt these two, point their marriage to an eminent doom.

A momentum of Gothic characteristics have sprung into the plot within this reading section, most blatantly when Mr. Rochester unveils that he has a dark past with a secret marriage to Bertha. This situation is an internal regret on Mr. Rochester’s conscious, which alludes that the novel ends in a state of madness and death.  A worsening state of mind on Jane’s behalf is the suicide of John Reed, followed by Miss Reed’s passing that is nothing short of devastating, which continually distresses Miss Eyre as she poses as a damsel in distress.  This Gothic feature illuminates a woman who suffers at the expense of an autocratic, and authoritative male, thus causing emotional oppression, and loneliness.  As we know, Jane’s role as a governess has long muted her presence among others, who have looked down upon her position, all while she dreams of being with the devious Mr. Rochester.  Is this sounding familiar?

An implicated situation arises as Jane reveals that she is in love with Mr. Rochester, who surprisingly agrees to get married with Jane.  As this scene unfolds, a Gothic atmosphere develops as a large storm, which suspiciously shoots down a lightning bolt that splits a tree in the exact location that the newly engaged had previously sat.  The audience at this point must be laughing at the upcoming plot, as foreshadowing has undeniably set the stage for a horrific result of the upcoming wedding.  Yet another Gothic element of nightmares haunt Jane in the upcoming days to the marriage, which causes her to question her situation.

At the wedding many events occur, the most grand being the fact that Mr. Rochester’s actual wife, Bertha is an imprisoned madwoman that is locked away in the attic.  Enough said.

"Will you say that of the master of the house?" "He is not at home." "A profound remark!  A most ingenious quibble! He went to Millcote this morning, and will be back here to-night or to-morrow: does that circumstance exclude him from the list of your acquaintance - blot him, as it were, out of existence?"
"No but I can scarcely see what Mr. Rochester has to do with the theme you had introduced" (Bronte 212).

A most mischievous circumstance arises in Chapter 19 as Jane takes on a discussion with a gypsy woman who she is evidently cautious to converse with.  The gypsy woman's mannerisms are inherently strange according to Miss Eyre from the very moment they start to gossip as the gypsy continuously brings up the idea of Mr. Rochester.
This moment is replicable among the entirety of the plot-line's that accustom a traditional mystery of a Scooby-Doo episode.  Jane plays the role of "the gang" in Scooby-Doo as she grows suspicious of the peculiar woman.  Mr. Rochester in a disguise, is an evident portrayal of a villainous antagonist, though in this case seems to only cause discomfort to Jane as she brings up the fact that she had not mentioned Mr. Rochester to the gypsy.  This is the first insight, seen in the above quote, such that this situation will arise to become another strange occurrence in the Thornfeild house.
Upon the realization that she is being duped into a confession of admiring Mr. Rochester, Jane is relieved to know that he is in serious acquisition to marry Blanche Ingram.  Mr. Rochester has been a controversial being, due to his continuous actions of in-authenticity as he has lied to servants about the fire, has concealed his past, and has deceived Jane in this instance.  The audience is relieved that further admiration of him, will be discontinued on behalf of this final breaking point.
In relation to Scooby-Doo, the audience is able to breathe once more after finding out the true identity of the character who causes havoc among the emotions of others in the episode.

Jane Eyre seems to be progressing through her life quickly as she skims over eight years of being a teacher at Lowood, urgent to speak of the recent move to Thornfeild.  Chapter 11 develops to portray a new chapter in Jane's life, one free from her childhood, and the constant state of suffering that she has dragged around with it.  At Thornfeild, Jane Eyre is accompanied by very few people, a drastic change from Lowood, though a common ground for Miss Eyre as she has kept a small circle of trusted individuals since age 10.  Mrs. Fairfax and Adele are friendly, though Mr. Rochester raises my eyebrow from the moment he is introduced.   Mr. Rochester immediately seems to be a threat to Jane's being as he takes interest in all of her pastime's, a peculiar matter since Jane is merely a servant.  In my opinion Jane has found herself at a dead-end in terms of being in a place that she truly enjoys, and the unfolding plot ahead has closed to very few courses that suit her dreams.  These dreams may be a stretch, but I am certain that myself and my peers are concerned with Jane's desire to be with Mr. Rochester throughout this section, and that this first emotional attachment may cloud her conscience into ensuing acts that she will later regret.  She has become impulsively consumed in her longing of Mr. Rochester, which is concurrently obstructed when he develops relations with Miss Ingram.  The inherent marriage between Blanche Ingram and Mr. Rochester, once again allows us to breathe as Jane almost loses her independence in spite of an unattainable man.

Upon arriving at Lowood Institution, Jane is already scoping the place out, and developing an understanding for how each teacher treats the students. Her experience with Ms. Reed has left her considerably skeptical of anyone who has authority over her. She immediate makes a friend, or rather an acquaintance with another student, and starts pummeling her with question after question. Jane evoke's an instinct of knowing everyone around her, along with their secrets, which I assume she will soon uncover at the rate she is going. Sherlock Holmes who? Both Jane and this most distinguished detective seem to have started from a very young age. It seems plausible that the story's narrative could delve into a variety of alternative plots. Why not one that sparks everyone's inner detective, as after all a good action movie is hard to beat. After the first ten chapter's, myself and many others ponder the outcomes of the arising events that Jane will soon face, but I'm sure she can handle it.

The Disdainful Jane Eyre; Boasting With Confidence At Her Own Discretion!

# data[].attributes.body
"I shall remember how you thrust me back-roughly and violently thrust me back-into the red-room, and locked me up there, to my dying day, though I was in agony, though I cried out, while suffocating with distress, 'Have mercy! Have mercy, Aunt Reed!' And that punishment you made me suffer because your wicked boy struck me-knocked me down for nothing.  I will tell anyone who asks me questions this exact tale.  People think you are a good woman, but you are bad, hard-hearted. You are deceitful!"
(Bronte, 4-34).

Not even a teenager at the time of this grievance, Jane Eyre is deliberately making it known that she is not one to be meddled with.  Her speech, although derisive, is eloquently performed in a matter of both superiority and potential.  If I were Ms. Reed, I too would send her off to school, for Jane would soon run the house as she proved herself worthy to do so.  I'd compare Miss Eyre to a drill sergeant as she pounces at the prey of newly outfitted soldiers, dismantling their ego's to submit to her vigor. Ms. Reed certainly has no right governing this child as she is incapable of managing the increasingly dense mindset that sets Miss Eyre apart from others of her young age.  An upbringing that is subpar and enthralled with hate and disgust from those who call themselves “family” is one that builds an independence that Jane outwardly portrays.  The intriguing narrative of a prideful child grabs hold of the audience's keen thoughts, pondering the mistake of the next person that may stand in Jane’s way.  As we now know best, Jane Eyre hides a  dangerous wrath under the small and innocent girl that she physically portrays to the outward world.
