The man is being described in a negative connotation to let the reader know the man is not going to be a good character.

her abusive cousin, John, and Mrs. Reed’s indifference towards Jane, but rebellions none-the less. However, by giving Jane these moments, Charlotte is showing a female can be “passionate” without the stigma that the woman is crazy, or unmanageable (Bronte 31).
