Jane Eyre

Pages 9- 23

A-predominated, sufferings inferiority cruel and wicked boy ,equilibrium, abuse, sullen, and sneaking, condemned, disturbed, tyrannies,inexpressible, screaming,

I-these words infer that Jane is miserable in the house that she lives in as of this moment. She is tortured and treated as if she is nothing. The words also make her seem as if she is a bad kid with no morals whatsoever. The words inferiority, sufferings, predominated, and condemned give a feeling that Jane is controlled and given no freedom. The words tyrannies, cruel and wicked boy give a feeling that she is abused both physically and mentally.

Pages 23-37

A-Troublesome, restricted, miserable, descended, indifference, Naughty, changing, benefactress, condition, admit, responsibility, humility, consistency.

I-these words give an infer that Jane is still miserable, but feels like it is a part of her everyday life. Her benefactress is going to send her somewhere from the word admit and consistency. According to the words restricted and descended, the inference is the Jane is family, but is restricted from it. She may be family, but she sure isn’t treated as it. Humility gives a feeling that in the eyes of her Aunt, Jane embarrasses her and yet Jane is still her responsibly. What more responsible then sending her away to a school to finally get rid of the humility Jane gives her so called “family.”

Pages 37-51

A-mistake, willingly, unbroken, spacious and splendid, no parents, complexion, overpowered, indefinite, burnt porridge, rotten potatoes, displeasure, relinquished, discipline, brown dresses, narrow tucker, grotesque, writing, arithmetic, geography, institution.
I-these word give a lot of inference. The words discipline, writing, arithmetic, geography and institution say that Jane is at school learning and finally away from the family that made her life a living hell. Splendid comes into play to describe how she feel and indefinite makes it seem as if Jane is happy to be where she is. But then the words burnt porridge, rotten potatoes and displeasure say that something at the school must be really bad. The food of course, probably. The burnt porridge much has something to do with the rotten potatoes and the displeasure is how they feel about the food they are eating. Finally, narrow tucker, brown dresses and grotesque must mean that the uniforms they are wearing are really ugly and grotesque. Yet, the school is spacious and splendid for Jane because there are no parents.

Pages 51-65

A-happy, Sharply inflicted, ominous tool, instantly and sharply inflicted, unloosed, disconsolate, expoatulations, no influence, praise, injustice, passionate emotions, self-denying, encouraging, spiritual edification, privation.

I-these words infer that at one point the school and time is happy and calm, both sharply inflicted, ominous tool, instantly and sharply inflicted infer that there is abuse among the students. The teachers most likely use corporal punishment when the students, whom are girls, behave badly or do something the teacher does not like. The words unloosed, disconsolate and expoatulations are words that express a feeling of depression and that of not being close to anyone. Disconsolate means that no one is there for you when you are hurt, so I am guessing it is someone who the punishment is always given to. Passionate emotions infer that the feelings are big and great when the girls are hurt or done wrong. Yet, there is encouraging, spiritual edification which probably mean not to give up and keep going, and not let anything get in the way.

Pages 65-79

A-enchained, imagined, unhappy, contaminate their purity, ingratitude, exposed, mistaken, serenity, wonder, refreshing meal, brilliant fire, beloved, amazement, ideal, satisfaction, daily luxuries.

I-these words infer many things. Enchained and imagined probably means that Jane is not happy at this very moment. Unhappy and sad is how she feels. To make matters worse contaminate their purity infers that Jane was exposed to how she was looked upon her old home in Gateshead. The lies about her were exposed. Ingratitude is what people had towards her and she was exposed as a fraud, and mistaken as one as well. Yet, serenity, wonder mean that her life is starting to get better. Refreshing meal and brilliant fire infer that her life is starting over, she is starting fresh and the brilliant fire is there to guide her way. Miss Temple is probably the brilliant fire. She is beloved, looked to in amazement and satisfaction. She is an ideal woman.

Pages 79-93

A-Disease, inhabitant, morality, perfect silence, quivering, death, grave, church, emotions, new servitude, liberty, excitement, enjoyment, affairs, satisfied, governess.

I-these word infer at first that there is a disease inhabiting everyone at the school. It probably symbolizes a part of Jane’s life dying and leaving and taking its memories with it. The morality and perfect silence is that past leaving forever and giving her a new start, a fresh start. Death is the final step to the process of the past leaving happening. New servitude, liberty, excitement, enjoyment, means that the new part of Jane’s life is here and it is time for her to move on and live her own life in her own liberty and excitement. It is now her affairs and she feels satisfied for everything she has done. Governess is the new step and the job she will do for the first time on her own. She was once the student, now she will be the teacher.

Pages 93-107

A-a new chapter, comfortably, strange sensation, adventure, disregardful of appearance, finer furniture, illumination, pleasing, position, discovery, seclusion.

I-Jane’s new life is finally here. She has left the past of the school and of Gateshead. A new chapter of her life has arrived. It is a strange sensation for her, but an adventure. She is once again comfortably living an happy. Illumination has overtaken her life. A new light is there to light her path. A new discovery awaits her. The seclusion is part of it. Living in a place where the finer furniture signifies better living and pleasing. A new position is her new job as a teacher, and disregardful of appearance is a phase in which she doesn’t care about the way she looks. As long as she does her job she is happy.
