Literature sometimes embeds secrets in the narrative of a text. What remains unreachable for the reader produces the desire for them to find the truth about something). Bennet and Royle call this “the process of unfolding and revelation” (271). Brontё’s Jane Eyre accounts to “telling [the reader] the plain truth!” (111) indicating that narrators in Literature can be ‘all-knowing’ and ‘all-telling’. However, Bronte relies on the first-person narrative to have readers think that Jane and they discover the secrets simultaneously: “That there was a mystery at Thornfield; that from [we are] purposely excluded from (165).”
