The Missing Puzzle
“Farewell forever!” were the last words Jane said to me before she left Thornfield. The words Jane had said circled in my head over and over again and the enraged and heartbroken face she had on her face when she left my house pictured in my head. I felt as if a thunderstorm was going on inside me, all the hopes and plans I made to do with Jane all crushed down. I couldn’t believe what just happened. Even though I tried my best to keep Jane right next to me, she wouldn’t change her mind. A feeling of hate and regret filled up. I shouldn’t have had gotten married to that mad and wretched woman. If only if I didn’t marry her, Jane would have been mine and we would have gotten married with no problems. I felt as if I had nothing left, but eventually, I did lose everything. Maybe Jane leaving me foreshadowed that I would have nothing.

I dreamed of Jane full of joy, smiling happily, coming back to me the next day, telling me how she regretted what she had said to me and how she wanted to be with me for the rest of her life. We quickly prepared for the wedding and got married and decided to go to France. When I woke up and realized it was all just a dream as I saw the ceiling in my room, I wished the real life was a dream and as soon as I waked up from it, my sweet love, Jane would be right there, sitting in front of the piano, gracefully touching the keys and playing my favourite

    Now I could lie and make up stuff that made me like reading and writing but I see no point in that. Honestly I don’t have a lot of memories of reading and writing from when I was a little kid and I can tell you now that football hasn’t helped me at remembering those memories either. With that being said I do remember some memories, some are good and also bad.…

    The book Jane Eyre was written by Charlotte Brontë in the 1800s. In literature this time was known as the Gothic Romance period. Many books written in this time included many elements that were related to the supernatural world. In the story Jane had many occurrences with unexplained events; Like the time Mrs. Reed locked her in the very mysterious Red Room as a child (Brontë 9). Jane had a quote in the chapter explaining, “I can now conjecture readily that this streak of light was, in all likelihood, a gleam from a lantern, carried by some one across the lawn: but then, prepared as my mind was for horror, shaken as my nerves were by agitation, I thought the swift-darting beam was a herald of some coming vision from another world” (Brontë…

    Novels commonly reflect the author’s time period and conflicts that the author had encountered to shape his/her view that is evident throughout the novel. Likewise, Jane Eyre, published in 1847 by Charlotte Brontë, reflects Brontë’s contradicting views with the values of her time period. While the novel presents Jane’s harsh life and her transformation, the novel mostly consists of Brontë’s challenge to what was deemed acceptable at the time; hence the subtitle An Autobiography. Brontë’s Victorian time period and her stance on the normal values of the time play a major role in shaping the novel and its themes. Brontë’s views and time period are clearly used to develop the major themes of social classes and gender relations, and religion.…

    The narrator has a very strong presence in the novel, both to guide the linear time line as well as to provide commentary to various things throughout the book. Switching back from the diegetic world of Victorian England to his more modern time of the 1960’s, he draws conclusions from the information that is presented. The narrator provides insight to characters’ thoughts and backgrounds as well as provides historical background for the time period. He then contrasts Victorian time with his modern day. The narrator though can be seen to be somewhat unreliable, especially because of the switching of the time period of which we are reading.…

    In effect, Rochester contradicts himself in this passage. He apologizes for demanding her, tells her he truly loves her, then demands her and objectifies her, making her seem like his property instead of a person with a desire for independence. That this ‘love’ he admits of supposedly having for Jane when they first meet is not ‘true’ love as defined, but is a disordered ‘eros’ based on pleasure in imagination. This identification of Rochester’s ‘love’ to be disordered ‘eros’ can be seen when he tells her how he first meets her and “observes [her]…unseen…for half an hour” and “wait[s] for [the] evening” when he could see her alone and “ma[ke] her talk” (Brontë 360-361). Further in this conversation, Rochester acknowledges that in the beginning of their relationship he “was an intellectual epicure,”…
