Chapters 28/29/30/31 Jane Eyre

Jane ends up at he Moor House. This house also has another name.
What is it?

1. The Old house
2. The Rivers’ place
3. Marsh End
4. St. John’s house

Marsh End

This is the first place where the people take Jane in without being obliged to of needing something from her. This is where Jane finally meets the “family” she been searching for all her life. This is the end of her journey, her march! March’s End.

What is special about the way Jane finds her way to the Rivers family?

1. She knew where to go from a dream
2. She knew about them from Bessie
3. Rochester told her where to go
4. Finding them was completely random

God Will provide

When Jane decides that she needs to leave Rochester, she begs God to help her. He does, but in a very roundabout way. Every decision Jane has to take she leave to chance. She goes left where she’d normally go right, she gets in a random coach which takes her to a random place, etc.. 

Why does she decide to ask for help at Moore House?

1. She trusts Mary and Diana on first sight
2. She recognises a mother in Hannah
3. She believes a priest will help her
4. God tells her to try

The mirror has two faces

Jane looks through the window and sees Diana and Mary. She doesn't know them, but something about them looks very familiar. Jane's description of the sisters sounds remarkably like Jane. In real life, Charlotte Brontë had two sisters.

Jane is semi-conscious for three days, and then she wakes up. What is the significance of the three days?

1. It's the same time aunt Reed took to die,
2. Three is an important Christian number
3. It gave her enough time to make up a story
4. It is the time between Jesus' death and rise..

Waking from the dead..

Jane is semi-conscious for three days. On waking on the fourth day, she finds her clothes cleaned . Hannah apologizes for turning her away, then tells Jane about the Rivers family. Their father lost his fortune, and died just three weeks ago. Leaving the family without money..

Jane does something Rochester tried to do when he returned to England with Bertha. What is it?

1. She lies about her past so she can start fresh
2. She moves a lot, never staying long in 1 place
3. She tries to marry St. John to forget Roch.
4. She goes looking for an honest man!

Lets move on!

Jane gives the Rivers a brief personal history, but refuses to reveal her real name or any details about what happened to her. She claims to have no family or friends in England, and asks for work of any kind. Mary and Diana tell her she can stay, St. John promises to help her

What is the problem with St. John wanting to become a missionary?

1. He will be poor for the rest of his life!
2. He wants to go to a country that will kill him
3. He does it because he wants to be a saint!
4. He needs to get married first.

Ambitious? Me?

Mary and Diana tell Jane about St. John's priesthood. The man will always help his parishioners, regardless of time of day or weather. However, he doesn't do this for love but because he wants to become a Saint. He becomes a missionary because that would be the ultimate sacrifice to secure his Sainthood..

St. John wants to serve God, Jane left Lowood looking for a "new servitude". They are alike, but also different. How?

1. St. John is rich, Jane is poor
2. St. John believes in God, Jane doesn't
3. Jane doesn't consider it a huge sacrifice
4. Jane does it for love, St. John for himself!

St. John offers Jane a Job as a teacher. He is surprised, but happy that she accepts. Why is he happy?

1. Because now they can finally start a school
2. Because he wants to get her out of his house
3. Because she accepts a job that is "beneath" her
4. Because he loves her

Teachers are good people

The teaching job fits Jane’s personality: independent, modest, and respectable. Jane can nurture virtues, not empty social

conventions, in her students.

What is up with the letter the Rivers family receive about their uncle?

1. It makes them poor, so they are like Jane
2. Jane has a rich uncle too to inherit from
3. Jane's uncle John is dying too. Coincidence?
4. There are too many Johns in the story

Who's Johnny? 

Soon after, a letter arrives informing St. John, Mary, and Diana that their wealthy uncle John has just died and left them nothing, with his fortune going to an unknown “other relation.” They tell Jane that it was their uncle who led their father into his disastrous business failure that made them poor

For the love of...

Like Jane, St. John is restless for a “new servitude.” But he seems to serve out of a cold religious passion that does not allow for any human feelings. Where Jane is unable to hide her feelings, St. John doesn't even allow himself to feel!

What is it that Jane learns from teaching her "poor uneducated girls"?

1. Farmers' kids are more stupid than she thought
2. She doesn't really like teaching
3. Poor people aren't as bad as she thought
4. Having only girls to teach is easy

What is it that Jane learns from St. John?

1. Determination without morals is not enough.
2. Religion sucks!
3. That she might want to become a nun.
4. Being single is better than being married

Jane starts work at her school. She has 20 students with little education. While Jane believes that personal potential is not limited to social class, she cannot help feeling a little degraded in becoming a small-town teacher and fears her life is going nowhere. She learns to love her pupils though!

I'm determined to be good!

St. John and Jane both have strong personalities and convictions, but their values differ. Jane learns from St. John about determination, but will choose a different path.

Determination is not enough if you have to deny who you really are

What is the problem with the beautiful Rosamund?

1. Beautiful, but not smart enough for St.John
2. He is deeply in love with her, but denies it
3. He needs her money, but doesn't like her
4. He hates her father too much to marry her..

Beauty is not enough!

Rosamond’s name is French for the “rose of the world.” The most beautiful woman on the planet! She

represents the earthly desire that St. John rejects for his cold

spiritual principles. He needs to cut his ties with her in order to be able to leave England. A saint can't love a real woman!!
