Key Quotation:

“I am glad you are no relation of mine. I will never call you aunt again as long as I live. I will never come to visit you when I am grown up; and if any one asks me how I liked you, and how you treated me, I will say the very thought of you makes me sick, and that you treated me with miserable cruelty. . . . You think I have no feelings, and that I can do without one bit of love or kindness; but I cannot live so: and you have no pity. I shall remember how you thrust me back . . . into the red-room. . . . And that punishment you made me suffer because your wicked boy struck me—knocked me down for nothing. I will tell anybody who asks me questions this exact tale. ’Ere I had finished this reply, my soul began to expand, to exult, with the strangest sense of freedom, of triumph, I ever felt. It seemed as if an invisible bond had burst, and that I had struggled out into unhoped-for liberty. . . .” (Chapter 4).

Table 4: Jessenia S.H., Olivia L., Gus L., Stone N.
Quotation"
Jane Eyre disparages the Reeds and their inhuman behavior:
"They were not bound to regard with affection a thing that could not sympathise with one amongst them; a heterogeneous thing, opposed to them in temperament, in capacity, in propensities; a useless thing, incapable of serving their interest, or adding to their pleasure; a noxious thing, cherishing the germs of indignation at their treatment, of contempt of their judgment." (Bronte, Chapter II)

Motifs
~Red Room: The room that Jane is confined into inspires a feeling of fear, with the red representing danger, suppression, and passion.
~Abuse: John represents a bully character abusing Jane's being which then escalates to his mother, Ms.Reed, to punish her and continue the cycle.
~Storm/Shipwreck: The Bewick's History of British Birds showed themes of isolation and harsh conditions that relate to the emotions Jane feels throughout her time at Gateshead.
~Food: there is a lack of communion between Jane and the Reed's as they prevent her to eat with the rest of the family.

Tone/Attitude/Feeling
~Foreboding
~Antagonistic
~Lonely

~Bravery
