This is further exemplified in the description of Georgiana as a 'little darling - with her long curls, blue eyes and..such a sweet colour...as if she were painted' which shows an idealized model of female beauty as delicate and doll-like. jennifer_wells5 https://padlet.com/jennifer_wells5/yefj88zxed9h/wish/158588465 (from chapter 3)]]> 2017-03-08 09:08:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_wells5/yefj88zxed9h/wish/158588465 Hello...... think it's working now Jennifer! x eileen_robley https://padlet.com/jennifer_wells5/yefj88zxed9h/wish/159009225 2017-03-09 15:36:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_wells5/yefj88zxed9h/wish/159009225 slabolator https://padlet.com/jennifer_wells5/yefj88zxed9h/wish/159043110 'At this period of my life, my heart far oftener swelled with thankfulness than sank with dejection', shows that Jane has an appreciation for her new circumstances, regarding acquaintances and location. However, she still carries contrasting feelings about Mr Rochester, which is further represented with this quote, 'I used to rush into strange dreams at night: dreams many-coloured , agitated, full of the ideal'. This suggests that all is not perfect for Jane and that she carries a burning passion to be rekindled with her loved one.

"Such is the sole conjugal embrace I am ever to know—such are the endearments which are to solace my leisure hours! And this is what I wished to have" (laying his hand on my shoulder): "this young girl, who stands so grave and quiet at the mouth of hell, looking collectedly at the gambols of a demon. I wanted her just as a change after that fierce ragout. Wood and Briggs, look at the difference! Compare these clear eyes with the red balls yonder—this face with that mask—this form with that bulk; then judge me, priest of the Gospel and man of the law, and remember, with what judgement ye judge ye shall be judged! liam7383 https://padlet.com/jennifer_wells5/yefj88zxed9h/wish/159135801 Chapter 26]]> 2017-03-09 21:10:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_wells5/yefj88zxed9h/wish/159135801 Love Vs Moral Integrity lauratheexplorerbailey https://padlet.com/jennifer_wells5/yefj88zxed9h/wish/159537319 "Oh comply!' it said, 'Think of his misery, think of his danger--look at his state when left alone...Who in the world cares for you? or who will be injured by what you do?'...Still indomitable was the reply--'I care for myself. The more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained I am, the more I will respect myself. I will keep the law given by God, sanctioned by man. I will hold to the principles received by me when I was sane, and not mad--as I am now. Laws and principles are not for the times when there is no temptation: they are for such moments as this, when body and soul rise in mutiny against their rigour, stringent are they; inviolate they shall be...with my veins running fire, and my heart beating faster than I can count its throbs. Preconceived opinions, foregone determinations, are all I have at this hour to stand by: there I plant my foot!"
 Despite his love and persuasive argument Jane's sense of moral integrity will not allow her to stay with Mr Rochester as his mistress.
Chapter 27 - towards the end - it's a long chapter!

Chapter 14]]> 2017-03-13 18:09:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_wells5/yefj88zxed9h/wish/159779718 "Do you forgive me, Jane?" pggttw https://padlet.com/jennifer_wells5/yefj88zxed9h/wish/159789127 "I cannot tell till I  have thought it all over. If, on reflection, I find I have fallen into no absurdity, I shall forgive you; but it was not right"

This is after Rochester used a disguise and approaches Jane, her forgiveness of Rochester (after REFLECTION) seems to  be quite a significant foreshadow of the obvious.]]> 2017-03-13 18:29:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_wells5/yefj88zxed9h/wish/159789127 hannahdickenson1 https://padlet.com/jennifer_wells5/yefj88zxed9h/wish/159813827 "He is not to them what he is to me", i thought: "he is not of their kind. I believe he is of mine;- I am sure he is,- i feel akin to him,- i understand the language of his countenance and movements: though rank and wealth sever us widely, i have something in my brain and heart, in my blood and nerves, that assimilates me mentally to him. [...] I must, then, repeat continually that we are forever sundered:- and yet, while i breath and think i must love him". (chapter 17)

Jane sees Rochester among his high class houseguests, and realizes that he has more in common with her, despite their different class backgrounds. Jane can tell they share something tangible.

Jane continues to demonstrate that she is an independent woman. She is fee to set her own destiny and chooses to do so. She is unwilling to be either dependent on or subservient to Mr Rochester - or anyone else – it may be that her fierce independence has been reinforced by her unhappy experiences as a child having been dependent on the charity of her Aunt and cousins.

It is signicant because it shows the impact that Helen had on her, but also could be what helped her control herself and not become like Rochesters mad wife. ]]> 2017-03-13 23:53:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_wells5/yefj88zxed9h/wish/159850486 " I cannot alter customery habits for one new inmate."

A quiet wedding we had: he and I, the parson and clerk, were alone present"

After discovering a newly blind Mr Rochester, until this point, Jane had thought herself subservient to Mr Rochester. However, having received her inheritance from her uncle, Jane is now an independent woman who can take charge of her own destiny, hence why she did not claim that he married her, Jane took the superior place in the relationship, "I married him".]]> 2017-03-14 09:26:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_wells5/yefj88zxed9h/wish/159912656 "Poverty looks grim to grown people; still more so to children: they have not much idea of industrious, working, respectable poverty; they think of the world only as connected with ragged clothes, scanty food, fireless grates, rude manners, and debasing vices." twjholmes98 https://padlet.com/jennifer_wells5/yefj88zxed9h/wish/159927556 Jane's view of poverty is shaped this way due to the Reeds teaching her that poverty is always accompanied by unpleasantness.]]> 2017-03-14 10:29:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_wells5/yefj88zxed9h/wish/159927556 Morality and Ethics danny123jackson https://padlet.com/jennifer_wells5/yefj88zxed9h/wish/159927585 "If people were always kind and obedient to those who are cruel and unjust, the wicked people would have it all their own way: they would never feel afraid, and so they would never alter, but would grow worse and worse. When we are struck at without a reason, we should strike back again very hard; I am sure we should—so hard as to teach the person who struck us never to do it again. […] I must dislike those who, whatever I do to please them, persist in disliking me; I must resist those who punish me unjustly. It is as natural as that I should love those who show me affection, or submit to punishment when I feel it is deserved." 

Here, Jane is responding to Helen Burns who is arguing that you should "love your enemies". Jane, only ten at this point can't quite agree with this as she says that they'll "get away with it". Jane's ideas of justice are more like the old testament ideology "an eye for an eye".]]> 2017-03-14 10:29:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_wells5/yefj88zxed9h/wish/159927585 Janes Struggle with religion mikelawton_nz https://padlet.com/jennifer_wells5/yefj88zxed9h/wish/159930601 'Yet after all my task was not an easy one; often I would rather have pleased than teased him. My future husband was becoming to me my whole world; and more than the world: almost my hope of heaven.He stood between me and every thought of religion, as an eclipse intervenes between man and the broad sun. I could not, in those days, see God for his creature: of whom I had made an idol.'
