When Jane is falsely accused and humiliated by Mr. Brocklehurst, her instinct is to lash out in anger, and she finds it difficult to deal with her emotions. When Miss Temple asks her to explain why the accusations are false, it is Helen Burns' words that allow Jane to present her side of the story fairly. "...mindful of Helen's warnings

Can an impoverished orphan in the Victorian era sustain dreams of love and a fulfilled life while remaining true to herself? Jane Eyre is a young 10 year old orphan that lives with her cruel and widowed aunt, Mrs. Reed. One day after being unfairly provoked, she is caught fighting like a “wild cat” with her cousin.

Jane is so frightened by her imagination that, after an hour, she passes out and wakes up in the care of kind servant Bessie and apothecary Mr. Lloyd. After Jane talks with Mr. Lloyd, he suggests that Miss. Eyre be sent to school. To Jane’s delight, Mrs. Reed concurs.

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë has the title character and protagonist Jane lead a moral life in which she affects each person she interacts with. Included in this group of changed people is the one she falls in love with: Edward Rochester. At first Jane believes him to be “...proud, sardonic, harsh, unjust, and moody” (Brontë 153). By the end however, Jane tells the reader that all “my confidence is bestowed on him [Rochester], all his confidence is devoted to me; we are precisely suited in character—perfect concord is the result” (483). This is certainly quite the drastic change in personality; how did such a revision come about? Perhaps Rochester naturally improved or maybe Jane influenced which path he went down. It’s not like he was without some charm before he met Jane either. “The ease of his manner freed me from painful restraint; the friendly frankness, as correct as cordial, with which he treated me, drew me to him” (153). Jane recognizes the good Rochester contains within himself because of his nature, but she certainly believes there’s room for improvement. Example’s of Rochester’s good nature in action is found in his treatment of Bertha, Adele, and Mrs. Fairfax. Each lady had no requirement of Rochester’s help and yet he still aids them because he felt it was the right thing to do. Although Rochester demonstrates that he’s partially just on his own, it’s ultimately Jane who delivers him into a fuller state of goodness.
