Study them well!

7. The character certainly develops throughout the novel, as we witness partly through her own observations, and partly as a result of events. The most striking change is that she changes

 from a dependent person into a self-conscious, independent woman who makes her own choices. Jane has ‘grown’ as it were. However, she also shows a striking lack of hard feelings about the less pleasant events (e.g. she forgives Mrs Reed; behaves kindly towards St John Rivers, despite his wounded attitude; does not blame Rochester for the fact that the wedding could not proceed).

8. The turning point is undoubtedly when she receives her inheritance, as she then becomes financially independent and is therefore able to make her own decisions. She no longer needs

 St John Rivers and is now Rochester’s equal.

 

9. The climax comes just before the end, when Jane encounters the injured Edward Rochester in distressed circumstances and decides to marry him. Throughout the novel, Jane has been

 involved in unequal relationships (particularly with Rochester and St John Rivers). Her deepest desire to have an equal relationship is ultimately fulfilled in the climax

10. The entire novel is set in the countryside. Large towns and cities play no role whatsoever. All the houses, schools, mansions, etc. are located far from the ‘civilised world’. The rural surroundings are dominant. These are most probably based on Yorkshire, where CharlotteBrontë herself lived.

 

11. The dreadful laughter during the night at Thornfield Hall; the telepathic message from Rochester towards the end of the novel; Rochester’s rather ruined mansion.

 

12. When Jane refuses to become Edward Rochester mistress, after it has been announced that he already has a wife, the mad woman Bertha Mason.

13. The point when the poor Jane collapses from starvation at the door of St john Rivers and his sisters, who later turn out to be her cousins.

The moment when Edward Rochester calls out to Jane (telepathically).

The inheritance.

14. Love stories

15. a. Mr Brocklehurst (Lowood) and St John Rivers. Both are rather demanding and unsympathetic characters. She takes a negative view of them.

b. Charlotte’s father and her husband were both clergymen. There is a serious difference.

St. John

Bertha

Mrs. Reed

Edward

Richard Mason

Cousin

Ex-wife of her husband

Aunt

Husband

Her husband's ex-wife's brother

1. He forgot that he was married.
2. Because his wife has mental issues.

What does the chestnut tree symbolise?

1. The blossoming of something new.
