1) "I resisted all the way: a new thing for me." (Chapter 2).

Jane says this as Bessie is taking her to be locked in the red-room after she had fought back when John Reed struck her. For the first time Jane is asserting her rights, and this action leads to her eventually being sent to Lowood School.

2) "That night, on going to bed, I forgot to prepare in imagination the Barmecide supper, of hot roast potatoes, or white bread and new milk, with which I was wont to amuse my inward cravings. I feasted instead on the spectacle of ideal drawings, which I saw in the dark - all the work of my own hands." (Chapter 8).

Jane writes of this after she has become comfortable and has excelled at Lowood. She is no longer dwelling on the lack of food or other material things, but is more concerned with her expanding mind and what she can do.

3) "While I paced softly on, the last sound I expected to hear in so still a region, a laugh, struck my ears. It was a curious laugh - distinct, formal, mirthless. I stopped" (Chapter 11).

Jane hears this laugh on her first full day at Thornfield Hall. It is her first indication that something is going on there that she does not know about.

4) "Women are supposed to be very calm generally: but women feel just as men feel; they need exercise for their faculties, and a field for their efforts as much as their brothers do; they suffer from too rigid a restraint, too absolute a stagnation, precisely as men would suffer; and it is narrow-minded in their more privileged fellow-creatures to say that they ought to confine themselves to making puddings and knitting stockings, to playing on the piano and embroidering bags" (Chapter 12).

Jane thinks this as she looks out of the third story at the view from Thornfield, wishing she could see and interact with more of the world.

5) "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" (Chapter 15). Jane says this after Rochester has become friendlier with her after he has told her the story of Adele's mother. She is soon in love with him and goes on to say, "And was Mr. Rochester now ugly in my eyes? No, reader: gratitude and many associates, all pleasurable and genial, made his face the object I best liked to see; his presence in a room was more cheering than the brightest fire" (Chapter 15).

6) "I knew," he continued, "you would do me good in some way, at some time: I saw it in your eyes when I first beheld you; their expression and smile did not.strike delight to my inmost heart so for nothing" (Chapter 15)

After the fire Rochester tries to get Jane to stay with him longer and he says this to her. This is one of the reasons that Jane feels he fancies her.

7) "I had not intended to love him; the reader knows I had wrought hard to extirpate from my soul the germs of love there detected; and now, at the first renewed view of him, they spontaneously revived, great and strong! He made me love him without looking at me" (Chapter 17).

Jane says this when she sees Rochester again after his absence. She had tried to talk herself out of loving him, but it was impossible. This is also an example of one of the times that Jane addresses the reader.

8) "In the deep shade, at the farther end of the room, a figure ran backwards and forwards. What it was, whether beast or human being, one could not, at first sight tell: it groveled, seemingly on all fours: it snatched and growled like some strange wild animal: but it was covered with clothing and a quantity of dark, grizzled hair wild as a mane, hid its head and face" (Chapter 26).

This is what Rochester, Mason, and Jane see when they return from the stopped wedding and go up to the third story. This is the first time Jane really sees Rochester's wife.

9) "Gentle reader, may you never feel what I then felt? May your eyes never shed such stormy, scalding, heart-wrung tears as poured from mine. May you never appeal to Heaven in prayers so hopeless and so agonized as in that hour left my lips; for never may you, like me, dread to be the instrument of evil to what you wholly love" (Chapter 27).

Jane says this as she is quietly leaving Thornfield in the early morning. She knows that she is bringing grief upon herself and Rochester, but she knows she must leave.

10) "Reader, I married him."

This quote, the first sentence in the last chapter, shows another example of Jane addressing the reader, and ties up the end of the story. Jane is matter-of-fact in telling how things turned out. Eyre: Written by C Bronte

Introduction and Notes by Dr Sally Minogue, Canterbury Christ Church University College.

Jane Eyre ranks as one of the greatest and most perennially popular works of English fiction. Although the poor but plucky heroine is outwardly of plain appearance, she possesses an indomitable spirit, a sharp wit and great courage. She is forced to battle against the exigencies of a cruel guardian, a harsh employer and a rigid social order. All of which circumscribe her life and position when she becomes governess to the daughter of the mysterious, sardonic and attractive Mr Rochester.

However, there is great kindness and warmth in this epic love story, which is set against the magnificent backdrop of the Yorkshire moors.

1你以為,因為我貧窮、低微、相貌平平、矮小,我就就沒有靈魂,也沒有心嗎?——你想錯瞭!我的靈魂跟你一樣,我的心也跟你的完全一樣。如果上帝賦予我財富和美貌,我會讓你難以離開我,就像我現在難以離開你一樣。上帝沒有那麼多,但我們的精神是平等的,就像我們的靈魂穿過墳墓,站在上帝面前,彼此平等——本來就是如此。

2這樣的生活我受夠瞭,是時候離開瞭。所以,不用害怕。

3死亡隻是永遠的長眠,不安、愧疚、顧及、都會在人死之後煙消雲散。

4凝視著他年輕時候的模樣,一臉的單純 。

可為什麼變成這個樣子 難道說自己在年幼無知的時候受過傷就一定要報償給無辜的下一個

這樣惡性循環下去,我還能看到什麼希望

5社會. 疾病. 壓力,所有這一切都昭示著這個悲慘世界。

6隻是在白日下,無人去理解他,無人去鼓勵他 就連他自己裡面的人都對其嗤之以鼻,我能說什麼呢?我能幹些什麼呢?需要拯救的是自己的靈魂還是別人扭曲的性格,太變態瞭,太瘋狂瞭。7我所有的言詞隻是隻是像一個人恐怖的囈語 但他折磨著我 我找不到突破口 是不是後悔 我憤怒瞭

我沒臉說 我痛恨上蒼 從沒像現在這麼痛恨過 我所希望的東西是那麼的微薄 我一出世就錯瞭 從頭到尾的錯瞭20幾年 現在要走瞭 就別再顧及什麼瞭 毀瞭就毀瞭 吧 這個世界離開任何人都一樣的轉 什麼 都不會變 什麼都不會 我的心 我的情緒 我的一切 悲哀 孤獨 蒼涼 最冷僻的字眼用在我身上都不可彰顯那陰鬱的心 可憐 同情 沒人瞭 沒人會做這些 可憐人 就這樣吧 什麼都接受

什麼我都不想 再也不掙紮瞭 來吧 命運

來啊 打擊 沒什麼的 在我升天的那一刻 我希望變成上帝的子民

別再拋棄我瞭 啊門!

My soul is same with you, my heart completely is also same with you.If God entrusts with me the wealth and the beautiful appearance, I can let you leave me with difficulty, looks like me with difficulty to leave you to be same now.God not that many, but our spirit is equal, looks like our soul to pass through the grave, stands in front of God, each other equality - - is originally so.

3 deaths is only forever dying, restless, guilty, takes into consideration, can die after the human vanishes into thin air.
