Book Analysis: Jane Eyre
Jane Eyre
1.)“Do you think I am an automaton? — a machine without feelings? and can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips, and my drop of living water dashed from my cup? Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong! — I have as much soul as you — and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh: it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God's feet, equal — as we are!” The use of language in this passage was both appealing and powerful, the simile comparing Jane Eyres' feelings to an automation was a key description in the passage. Though I would not say the description was so great that I love the sound of it. The author had raised the issue of Jane Eyres' newly self-induced orphanhood. I do believed she made the correct decision leaving her tyrannical aunt behind, and destroying thought or possibilities of reconnecting again before doing so. 2.)“She broke forth as never yet burst from cloud: a hand first penetrated the sable folds and waved them away; then, not a moon, but a white human formed shone in azure, including a glorious brow earthward. It gazed and gazed on me. It spoke to my spirit: immeasurably distant was the tone, yet so near, it whispered in my heart-'my daughter, flee temptation.''Mother, I will.'” (298). This passage helped with the plot, and character development. This revealed how Jane Eyre looks up to her mother, in the sense that Jane already knew that it would be best for her to leave her master, but she had not taken action until she had a dream like vision late one night. The vision was of an angel like figure encouraging her to leave and move on with her life, and Jane
