Jane Eyre Final Test Flashcard Example #15096

Because St. John died from his work in India. This means that if she went with St. John, she could’ve died, too.

Jane has changed from a very closed off, lonely young girl who has experienced much loss, to a woman who has found the love of her life and is more religious and caring. They greatest change that occurred in the chapters was when Jane met Helen Burns. Helen changed Jane for the better. She made Jane a kind and religious person.

Rochester is a Byronic hero because he is mysterious, gloomy, but also does good. Rochester was always secretive and mysterious in the beginning of the chapter, but eventually opened up to Jane and always did good to her.

-St. is mean to inferiors; Rochester appreciates
-Rochester isn’t as religious

The Reed sisters, Georgiana and Eliza, never had respect for Jane in the beginning of the chapters and always felt superior to Jane, but in the end of the chapters, that found that Jane was talented in drawing and found much more respect for Jane. Eliza moved to France and became the Mother Superior there. Georgiana got married to a rich man at the end of the chapters. Mr. Brocklehurst was a very cruel person that only thought of himself. He was a religious Hippocratic because he would teach one thing, such as doing good for others, but wouldn’t help those who got sick from typhus at Lowood. Helen Burns was a very religious young girl who died from consumption and was Jane Eyre’s best friend who changed Jane greatly. Miss Temple was a kind teacher at Lowood who took Jane under her wing. Mrs. Fairfax is an elderly woman and the housekeeper at Thornfield and tells Jane that the laughter is Grace Poole. Blanche Ingram is a beautiful girl who does not like Jane and wants to marry Rochester for his money. The Rivers sisters, Diana and Mary, are cousins of Jane and sisters of St. John. They are kind and intelligent people who act like sisters to Jane.

The Mr. Reed’s ghost in the Red Room, Jane and Rochester’s telepathic connection, the mysterious laughter at Thornfield. Bronte uses many of the gothic and supernatural elements of the book as inner fears of Jane.

The first person narration adds to the story because it shows Jane’s point of view and involves the reader into the story more because sometimes Jane will specifically tell the reader what is happening into story. It is more important to have “I” instead of “Jane Eyre” because it shows more Jane’s point of view when she says “I”. When Jane says “Reader” it involves the reader.

The 5 sections are: Gateshead, Lowood, Thornfield, Moor House, and Ferndean Manor. At Gateshead, Jane is very strong willed and treated terribly, but is treated kindly by the maid, Bessie. This affects the story because in the beginning of the book, Jane is very lonely, doesn’t act her age, and has someone a mother figure. At Lowood, she is also treated horribly, but has a best friend, Helen, and a mother figure, Miss Temple. At Thornfield, she is the governess for Adele and falls in love with Mr. Rochester and also has a mother figure, Mrs. Fairfax. At the Moor House, she is treated very kindly and gets a teaching job. Jane also has a mother figure who are the Rivers sisters. Finally, at Ferndean Manor, Jane does not have a mother figure and only goes there to find Rochester and take care of him. This affects the story greatly because Jane has always had a mother figure, but not she doesn’t and is sort of the mother to Rochester because she has to take care of him because he doesn’t have a hand and he is blind. This gives Jane a new role and purpose.

Jane becomes more of a christian due to Helen Burns and her beliefs of salvation. Eliza becomes a French Catholic nun and St. John is a preacher.

-Marrying: people only marry for money
-Blanche: woman have more respect and more opportunities if beautiful
-The mentally ill: (Bertha) if you are mentally ill, you are considered an animal, deserve nothing, and people who are mentally ill are to be ashamed of

Jane Eyre is a coming of age story because it shows Jane from a little girl who is not very open or kind to a woman who has found love and a mother.

I think that it is a duty for woman because Jane Eyre is a great book that was written by a woman who defied what woman were “supposed” to do in that time period.

Because Jane didn’t have God in the beginning of the novel and Helen Burns showed her the way and now Jane is a kind person who is very religious and open.

I agree because if someone’s duty was to help those in another country, but they did not want to do that because it would make them unhappy because they wouldn’t be with family, it is still the right thing to do because you are helping others.

People always lead her, but now she’s providing for him, so now she has a new role.

Brother figure, he saves her, his proposal forced her back to Rochester, vulnerability, spirtitual growth, mix between Helen and Brocklehurst

connects the beginning of the book to the end

Jane was always missing something, but is now whole, so nothing is holding her back

the connection between Jane and Rochester was so strong that they could hear each other from far away

Bronte’s view are that you should marry if you love someone (rare), St. John is traditional marriage and so was Bertha’s and Rochester’s marriage takes over, traps you in this time.

Rochester told Jane to leave if she loves St. John because he wants her to be happy and he wouldn’t stop telling her that he loves her and how glad he is that she is not dead and he thinks that her coming back is like a dream.
