Jane Eyre became an orphan in her early years and was entrusted to the care of a ruthless aunt, Mrs. Reed of Gateshead House. Mrs reed's husband is Jane's loving mother's younger brother. Before he died, he told his wife to take care of Jane as well as her three children. However, Mrs. Reed is a melancholy and stern woman. She ignored this request and lived painfully for ten years. She dotes on the spoiled child, but regards Jane as a servant. One day, as a punishment for Jane's childish willfulness, Mrs. Reed locked her in the room where Mr. Reed died. The imaginative child fainted from fright and was very ill.
Bessie Levin is a compassionate maid in Gateshead House. After her care and recovery, Jane Eyre was sent to lowood school 50 miles away. Although life at school is very hard, on the whole, it makes her feel relieved after the painful days at Gateshead College. Jane got the friendly help of a Miss Temple and soon learned her lessons. Disaster arrival, an epidemic took the lives of some girls in Lowood Girls' School. This led to the investigation of the school by the superior and some subsequent improvements.
Jane Eyre became a teacher in this school, but left school at the age of eighteen to be a governess for the precocious girl Adele Varan. Adele Valen lives in the remote Thornfield Manor near Milcott.
At first, Jane Eyre didn't meet the little girl's guardian Edward Rochester. She was employed by the kind and capable Mrs Fairfax. Mrs Fairfax is the housekeeper of the manor and a relative of the owner. Jane is very satisfied with the quiet country life of the manor and her imaginative students. But Mrs Fairfax warned her not to enter a mysterious locked room on the third floor, which puzzled her. One day, Jane heard a creepy scream coming from that room. But Mrs Fairfax pretended that the laughter came from Grace Poole, who was a rather fat and annoying servant.
One afternoon in January, when Jane Eyre was out for a walk, she met her employer, Mr. Rochester. Rochester fell off his horse and his dog ran to Jane for help. However, despite the unbearable pain, the gloomy and rude Rochester insisted on not letting others help him and went home by himself. He asked Jane many questions and learned that she was the new governess. Obviously, she was not frightened by Rochester's domineering manner, and then his attitude towards her became gentle. He told her privately that little Adele was his daughter, born to a French ballet dancer, and she abandoned their father and daughter a long time ago.
One night, Jane Eyre was awakened by the screams she had heard before. She opened the door and found smoke billowing from Rochester's room. His bed caught fire, and Rochester was awakened by Jane Eyre in time. He stopped her from waking her family and told her that Grace Poole might have started the fire, and that she had paroxysmal madness. The rest of the servants were told that the fire was caused by an accident when a candle fell.
Jane Eyre feels that her employer is suffering the consequences of some incredible evil in the past. She showed deep sympathy and gradually found herself in love with him. However, her hopes were dashed, because Rochester began to go to a party in his neighbor's house and pay attention to the beautiful and frivolous Blanche Ingram. At a party held by Rochester at Thornfield Manor, Blanche and his friends treated Jane haughtily. Jane Eyre feels that she can never compete with these elegant but snobbish people.
During his stay at Thornfield Manor, Rochester received a mysterious visitor-a Mr. Mei Sen from the West Indies. That night, Jane Eyre heard scuffles and cries for help from her upstairs room. The people in the manor panicked, and Rochester calmed them down. But he privately asks Jane Eyre to help take care of Mr. Mei Sen who is bleeding and unconscious. Before dawn, the injured man was mysteriously taken out of the manor house.
One day not long after that, Jane was enjoying a lovely midsummer night in the orchard. Rochester suddenly came to her and told her that he would get married soon. Jane was so sad that she thought he was going to marry Blanche Ingram. With tears in her eyes, she asked him how he could expect her to stay in Thornfield under such circumstances. Rochester kissed her and told her that she was the one he wanted to marry.
One night, Jane's excitement before marriage was seriously disturbed. She woke up in horror and saw a strange ugly woman trying on her wedding dress and tearing it to pieces. Rochester comforted her that it was just a nightmare, but in the morning Jane found the fragments of the wedding dress.
On the wedding day, the ceremony was interrupted by Mr Mei Sen. He sneaked into the church and declared the marriage illegal because Rochester had a living wife. Rochester was finally forced to tell the truth. He took Jane to the brig on the third floor. Jane saw an ugly and terrible woman crawling on all fours. It was she who attacked Mr Mei Sen and tore up Jane's wedding dress. Rochester explained that this woman is Mei Sen's sister, Bertha, and he was tricked into marrying her in Jamaica fifteen years ago. She comes from a family full of lunatics and retarded people. The insane Mrs. Rochester was locked up by Grace Poole and watched. Rochester's married life was a real hell.
Jane is full of sympathy for the cynical Rochester, but realizes that she must leave now. With only a little money on her, she wandered around the wasteland in central England in vain to find a job. When she was starving, she was finally treated well by a priest named St. John Rivers and his two sisters, Mary and Diana, and recovered under their care. She changed her name to Jane Eliot and found a job as a rural primary school teacher, trying to forget her seemingly hopeless love for Rochester.
One day, Rivers learned that one of Jane's uncles, John Eyre, had recently died in Madeira, leaving Jane with a legacy of 20,000 pounds. Jane insisted on sharing the inheritance with Rivers and his sisters, and a lawyer found out that they were actually her cousins. St John Rivers asked Jane to be his wife and go to India with him. He planned to be a missionary there. Although he doesn't love her, he thinks she will be an excellent assistant in his missionary career.
While Jane was considering this request, she dreamed that Rochester was calling her. The next morning, when she couldn't find him nearby, she returned to Thornfield Manor, only to find that the magnificent manor had been destroyed by the fire and became a ruin. She inquired about the local hotel and learned that Mrs Rochester set fire to the house one night. Rochester managed to take the servant to safety and then rushed into the burning house to save his wife. But she avoided him, climbed onto the roof and fell to her death while jumping down.
Rochester himself almost failed to run out of the burning house alive. A flight of stairs collapsed on fire, which blinded his eyes and seriously injured his arm, so he had to cut it off. Rochester now lives depressed and lonely in the nearby desolate Fending Manor. Jane hurried to see him.
Rochester was so happy to see Jane back to him that he begged her to be his wife. She accepted it happily, so they got married for a hundred years and soon had children. Two years later, Rochester recovered his sight in one eye.
Chapter two: An overview of Jane Eyre.
Jane Eyre's father is a poor priest. When she was a child, her parents both fell ill and died. Jane Eyre was sent to the house of Mrs. Reed, the aunt of Gateshead Manor. Before he died, Mr. Reed told his wife to take good care of Jane Eyre. Jane Eyre's position in Mrs. Reed's family is not as good as that of the maid, and she has been bullied by her cousin. One day, my cousin hit her again. She resisted, but her aunt put her in the red house, where her uncle Mr. Reed died. She was frightened by the imaginary ghost. I was very ill and it took me a long time to recover.
She didn't want to stay at Mrs. Reed's house any longer, so Mrs. Reed sent her to Dallowood orphanage. The director of the orphanage is a cold hypocrite who destroys orphans mentally and physically in various ways. Jane Eyre became friends with the orphan Helen, and Miss Temple, the teacher, was very concerned about her. An infectious typhoid fever in an orphanage claimed the lives of many orphans, and Helen also died of it, which was a great blow to Jane Eyre.
After graduation, Jane stayed in school as a teacher for two years. She can't stand the loneliness and indifference there. She advertised for a tutor, so she came to Thornfield Hall. There are only the owner Rochester and his illegitimate daughter Adel Vallance in Thornfield Manor, and Rochester often travels abroad, so Jane Eyre has not seen Rochester in Thornfield for several days.
One evening, Jane went out for a walk, which surprised Rochester's horse who had just returned from outside. Rochester fell off his horse, and Jane hurried to help him. When she got home, Jane realized that he was Rochester, the owner of the manor. Rochester is a gloomy and moody man. He and Jane Eyre often argue about some ideas.
Strange things keep happening at thornfield manor. One night, Jane Eyre was awakened by a strange laugh and found Rochester's door open and his bed on fire. She woke Rochester and put out the fire. Rochester tells Jane Eyre that there is a woman who lives on the third floor, Grace Poole. She is insane and often gives out creepy laughter, asking her to keep this secret.
Rochester often attends dances. One day, he invited guests to his house to play. It is thought that Rochester will propose to Miss Blanche at this dance. At the banquet, Rochester insisted that Jane Eyre also go to the living room. The guests were cold to Jane Eyre, but Rochester invited Jane Eyre to dance. Jane Eyre thinks she has feelings for Rochester.
One day, Rochester was not at home, and a gypsy wearing a headscarf came to his house. When it is Jane Eyre's turn to tell fortune, Jane Eyre discovers that this mysterious gypsy is Rochester, and he wants to test Jane Eyre's feelings for him. At this moment, a stranger named Mei Sen came to the manor. He was bitten by a mysterious woman on the third floor that night. Jane helped Rochester send him away secretly.
Soon, Mrs. Reed sent for Jane, saying that she was dying and wanted to meet Jane. When she returned to menstruation's home, Mrs Reed gave her a letter, which was sent by Jane's uncle three years ago, asking about her niece and giving her inheritance to Jane Eyre. Mrs. Reed lied that Jane died in an orphanage, and it was not until her deathbed that her conscience discovered the truth and told Jane.
Jane Eyre felt at home when she returned to Thornfield Manor. After returning, Rochester proposed to her, Jane Eyre agreed, and happily prepared for the wedding. On the eve of the wedding, Jane Eyre woke up from a dream and saw a tall and disgusting woman wearing her wedding dress, and then tore the mask of the wedding dress to pieces. Rochester told her that it was just a dream. When Jane woke up the next day, she found that the mask of the wedding dress was really in pieces.
The wedding was held as scheduled, and an unexpected guest broke into the church, claiming that the wedding could not be held. He said, 15 years ago, Rochester married Bertha Mei Sen, Mr. Mei Sen's sister. Rochester admitted this fact and showed people the crazy woman who was locked up on the third floor. That's his lawful wife. She has a history of hereditary mental illness, that is, she set fire to Rochester's room and tore up the mask of Jane's wedding dress.
Jane Eyre left Thornfield Hall sadly. She spent all her savings and begged along the way. Finally, she fainted in front of Father St. John's house and was saved by St. John and his two sisters. Jane Eyre settled down, and St. John found her a job as a country teacher.
Soon, St. John received a notice from his family lawyer that his uncle John Jane had died, leaving Jane with 20 thousand pounds, asking St. John to help him find Jane Eyre. St John discovers that Jane Eyre is his cousin, and Jane Eyre insists on sharing her inheritance with them. St John is going to preach in India. Before he left, he proposed to Jane Eyre, but he told her frankly that he wanted to marry her not because he loved her, but because he needed a well-educated assistant. Jane felt that she should repay his kindness, but she refused to promise him. That night, St. John waited for Jane Eyre's answer in the wasteland. Just as Jane Eyre was preparing to make a decision, she seemed to hear Rochester calling her name in the distance, "Jane, come back!" " Jane, come back "She decided to go back to Rochester.
When Jane returned to Thornfield Manor, the whole manor was in ruins. It turned out that a few months ago, on a stormy night, Bertha, a crazy woman, set fire to the whole manor. In order to save her, Rochester was burned in one arm and blind, and lived alone on a farm a few miles away. Jane Eyre rushed to the farm and confided her love to him. They finally got married.
Two years later, after one of Rochester's eyes was cured, he saw Jane Eyre's first child.
Chapter three: An overview of Jane Eyre.
Jane Eyre is an orphan girl, born in a poor priest family. My parents died of typhoid fever within a month. Young Jane was adopted by her uncle and aunt. After my uncle Mr. Reed died in the red house, Jane lived a life of discrimination and abuse for 10 years. Once, Jane was put in the red house for resisting her cousin's beating. Physical pain and mental humiliation and fear made her seriously ill. My aunt regards her as a thorn in her side and separates her from her children. Since then, the confrontation between her and her aunt has become more open and determined. Later, Jane was sent to lowood orphanage. The orphanage has strict rules and a hard life, and the dean is a cold hypocrite. Jane continued to suffer mental and physical abuse in the orphanage. Because of the poor living conditions, children often die in orphanages, and her best friend Helen died of a big typhoid fever. This typhus has also greatly improved the orphanage. Jane received six years' education in the new environment and taught in this school for two years. Because of Miss Temple's departure, Jane got tired of life in an orphanage and advertised for a governess. The housekeeper at Thornfield House hired her. Rochester, the male owner of the manor, often travels abroad. There is only one girl under the age of 10 in such a big mansion. Rochester is her protector and she is Jane's student. One night, Jane went out for a walk and met her host who had just returned from abroad. This is the first time they have met. Later, she found out that her master was a moody person, and his attitude towards her was sometimes good and sometimes bad. The whole house is gloomy and empty, and sometimes you can hear creepy strange smiles. One day, Jane was awakened by this laughter in her sleep and found Rochester's room on fire. Jane woke him up and helped him put out the fire. Rochester often holds family dinners after he comes back. At a family dinner, she courted a beautiful lady named Ingram. Jane was called into the living room, but was snubbed by Blanche and her daughter. She endured humiliation and left the living room. By this time, she had fallen in love with Rochester. In fact, Rochester has fallen in love with Jane, and he just wants to test Jane's love for himself. When he proposed to Jane, Jane promised him. On the eve of the wedding, Jane saw an ugly woman wearing her wedding dress in front of the mirror in the dim light. The next day, when the wedding was quietly going on in the church, suddenly someone sent a certificate: Mr. Rochester got married 15 years ago. His wife is the crazy woman locked in the secret room on the third floor. The law hindered their love and made them fall into deep pain. Jane left Rochester on a stormy night. On the way to find a new way out of life, I lived in poverty, begging along the way and going through hardships. Finally, I was taken in by pastor St. John and taught in a local primary school. Soon, Jane learned that her uncle had passed away and left her a legacy. At the same time, she found that St. John was her cousin. Jane decided to divide the property equally. St. John is a fanatic and intends to preach in India. He asked Jane to marry him and go to India with him, but the reason was that Jane Eyre was suitable to be a missionary's wife. Jane turned him down and decided to see Rochester again. She returned to Thornfield Manor, where the house was in ruins. The crazy woman set fire to the building and fell to her death. Rochester was also injured and disabled (losing an arm and an eye). Jane was shocked when she found him, and finally married him and got her ideal happy life.
Chapter four: An overview of Jane Eyre.
Jane Eyre is the daughter of a poor priest. My parents died when I was very young. She was put in foster care with a rich aunt, Mrs. Fred. Mrs. Reed is a narrow-minded and selfish aristocratic woman. She didn't want to raise Jane Eyre at first, but her husband forced her to agree on her deathbed. She has three children: daughters Lisa and georgiana, and son john reid. They all discriminate against Jane Eyre, think that she is poor and call her a "dependent".
Jane Eyre was stubborn from childhood. When she was bullied by Master John, she called him a cruel bad boy, like a murderer and like a Roman emperor. For this reason, she was put in a dark red house by Mrs. Reed. Later, Mrs reed sent her to a private public welfare school in lowood to deliver food. Since then, Jane Eyre has been kicked out of the house. Jane Eyre went out and said to menstruation, "I declare that I don't love you ... I don't want to call you aunt anymore. When I grow up, I never want to see you again ... I want to say that you have treated me with tragic cruelty. "
Loward Public Welfare School takes in orphans, and the living environment and conditions are extremely bad. Schools only care about binding children's thoughts with religious beliefs and are not sincere about their lives. Children eat "paste porridge" and "disgusting food". When typhoid fever spread, 80 children got sick and 45 children got sick. Children who are slightly negligent will be severely punished and humiliated. Helen burns, Jane Eyre's good friend, is often scolded and whipped by her teacher Skajid. But burns endured it without saying a word. Jane Eyre can't understand Burns' meekness as a lamb. She thought that if she was whipped, she would take the whip away and hit herself in the face. She said to Burns, "If people are always kind and obedient to cruel people, then bad people will do whatever they want ... When we are going to be beaten for no reason, we should fight back very hard." However, Burns was deeply poisoned by the school's religious consciousness. She believes that Jane Eyre's theory is advocated by pagans and barbarians, and Christians and civilized nations will never admit it. She told Jane Eyre to love her enemies and not to fight against others.
Mr. Brukal Hastert, the school director, is a lanky man, like a black marble statue, and people are afraid of him. One day, he took his wife and daughter to inspect the school. He called the children who lived a life without food and clothing at school the habit of "suffering, patience and self-denial". On the other hand, his own daughter is beautifully dressed. They wear gorgeous fur coats and fashionable beaver hats. Mrs Brouca Hasted is wearing an expensive velvet scarf with weasel leather edges. Jane Eyre accidentally broke a writing stone and was seen by Brouca Hastert. He humiliated her in public. Said she was an exiled bad boy, an ungrateful person, and wanted other children to alienate her. He said to the children, "Don't let her join the your game and don't talk to her." In this way, the children all avoided Jane Eyre, and only Burns approached her to comfort her. Jane Eyre told the female teacher, Ms. Temple, what she had done and what Mrs. Reed had done to her. Ms Tempore called all the students together and declared that Jane Eyre was not at fault, thus bridging the gap between Jane Eyre and the children.
One summer, Burns was quarantined with tuberculosis. Jane Eyre secretly visited her and slept with her all night. The next day, when they were found, Burns was already dead. Jane Eyre is still asleep, with her face resting on Burns' shoulder and her arm around her neck.
Jane Eyre spent eight years suffocating and rigid life in a public welfare school (six years as a student and two years as a teacher). Later, Ms. Temple, her favorite teacher, married someone and moved to a distant state. Jane Eyre also has the idea of leaving lowood. She advertised in the newspaper that she would teach in a private library. A few days later, a wife named Fairfat wrote back to her and hired her as a tutor for a landlord in Thornfield.
Thornfield is a beautiful farm, a three-story gentleman's house with a crenelated roof. The gray facade of the house emerged from the background of the crow's nest. There is a lawn in front of the house, with a row of thick and knotty old thorns and branches as thick as oak trees, which reminds people of the origin of the name of the house (Thornfield). Further on, there is a hill, a small poker village with a roof and trees, scattered on one side of the hill, at the top of the old church tower, overlooking the mound between the house and the gate. Mrs Fairfax is the housekeeper of the owner of the manor here. She is an elderly little woman, wearing a widow's hat and a white cotton skirt, and her attitude is very kind. She welcomed Jane Eyre home and told her that her master Rochester had gone on a trip. Her task is to teach a French-born girl, Miss Adelie.
Jane Eyre spent a comfortable and quiet night in Thornfield. The next day, she met her students. This is a little girl with a wind of about seven or eight. She is weak and pale, with curly hair hanging down to her waist. After learning French, Jane Eyre began to talk to her in French. Then, Mrs Fairfax showed Jane Eyre around the main building. The house is old and spacious. There are several narrow and dark houses on the third floor. Two rows of small black doors are all closed, which looks like a corridor in the "Ranjizi" castle. When Jane Eyre walked softly, suddenly there came a strange laugh. Mrs Fairfax explained that it might be the servant's laughter.
One winter afternoon, Jane Eyre went to a neighboring village to post a letter from Mrs Fairfax. On the path leading to the mountain, she met a man riding a horse. The horse slipped on the ice and threw its owner down. This is a middle-aged man of medium height, with a broad chest, a dark face, a serious face and a sad face. His eyes and wrinkled eyebrows look angry because he sprained his tendon. Jane helped him get on the horse. It turned out that this was none other than Mr. Rochester, Thornfield's landlord.
The next day, Rochester was busy all day, dealing with his farming. In the evening, he summoned Jane Eyre. She thought his behavior was a bit odd. The slate, "mouth, chin, cheeks-yes, all three are slate." His forehead is more square because his black hair hangs horizontally. He asked Jane about her life at lowood school, let her play the piano for a while, and then sent her away. Mrs Fairfax told Mr Jane Eyrochester that he was suffering from a family dispute. He is often distracted and leads an unstable life. One day, Rochester and Jane Eyre chatted. He said to her, "Look at me, Miss Eyre. Do you think I am beautiful? " Jane Eyre answered bluntly that she was not beautiful. Rochester likes her frank personality. He said to her, "You look like a little nun; Special, quiet, solemn and simple. " He told her a part of his life. He said that Miss Adelie was the daughter of French dancer Selena Valen. Selina used to be his mistress, but later she abandoned him and gave him a daughter who was not his. Rochester's life and misfortune aroused Jane Eyre's sympathy.
In the evening, when Jane loves to sleep, she hears strange laughter again. Then Rochester's bedroom caught fire. Jane Eyre rushed into his room, put out the fire and saved Rochester who was sleeping. Jane Eyre thinks that laughter and arson are the fault of Grace Bohr, a sewing worker who lives on the third floor. She even suspected that Rochester was having an affair with the sewing girl.
A group of noble friends from Rochester are going to stay in Thornfield temporarily, and the servants are busy planning and cleaning the room. These noble guests are proud of their splendid clothes. They eat, drink and have fun all day, treat Jane Eyre as a nanny and look down on her. One of them, the beautiful Miss Yin Grimm, is very affectionate with Rochester. On the day they arrived, Jane Eyre saw Miss Yin Grimm riding a horse and walking side by side with Rochester. She is tall, her eyes are as bright as jewels, and she has dark curly hair. People call her the queen. The servants are all talking about the master marrying her. Jane Eyre felt a pang of sadness. She believes that if they really get married, they will have to fight "two tigers-jealousy and despair-a powerful battle." Because she has secretly fallen in love with Rochester.
A businessman named Mei Sen came back from the West Indies to visit Rochester. That night, Jane Eyre heard a cry for help from the third floor. All the noble guests living in Thornfield woke up and asked what had happened. Rochester disguised that it was a crazy servant's cry and told everyone not to panic and go back to bed. Then he asked Jane to accompany him to the third floor. There, Jane Eyre saw Mei Sen, a businessman who had been here during the day, lying in a pool of blood. He has just been stabbed and bitten. Rochester asked Jane Eyre to wipe the blood of the dying patient, and he jumped into the carriage to call the doctor himself. Mei Sen was sent away before dawn. When he left, Mei Sen told Rochester to take good care of the man who stabbed him. Who is this man? Rochester refuses to tell Jane Eyre.
Mrs. Reed's son John gambled and lost all his property and committed suicide. Mrs reed was so angry that she became seriously ill that she sent a coachman to take Jane home. Mrs. Reed apologized to Jane Eyre and blamed herself for not obeying her husband's entrustment and not raising Jane Eyre as her own child. When typhoid fever prevailed in public welfare schools, she hoped Jane Eyre would die; Later, she hid a letter from uncle Jane Eyre, which said that Jane Eyre was his heir, but she wrote back that Jane Eyre was dead. Mrs. Reed told all the secrets in her heart and thought Jane Eyre was her destiny takes a hand's misfortune. Finally, she died.
Jane Eyre returned to Thornfield. Rochester proposed to her. He compared Miss Yin gleim with Jane Eyre and thought that Miss Yin gleim married him not because of love, but for his property. Jane Eyre is much purer. He said to Jane Eyre: "For those women who make me happy only by their faces, when I find that they have neither soul nor heart-when they show me mediocrity, triviality, incompetence, vulgarity and bad temper, I am a demon;" But I will always be loyal and gentle to my clear vision, fluent tongue, fiery soul and unyielding personality-soft and steady, easy to control but indomitable. "He said he could disregard the world's comments and make up his mind to marry Jane Eyre; He will give her diamond treasures like marrying a lady, dress her up like a flat flower bed and give her half of the land. Jane Eyre does not covet these treasures. She replied, "What do I want you to do with half your land? "Do you think I am a Jewish usurer and want to find a good investment in other places?"
Jane Eyre can't trust Rochester's love completely. Under the advice of Mrs Fairfax, the housekeeper, she deliberately annoyed him and avoided him until she thought Rochester was sincere rather than cheating. But the day before her wedding, her wedding dress was torn in half. Jane asks Rochester who did it, but Rochester refuses to answer her.
The wedding was held in a nearby church. Just in the middle of the wedding, Mason, who was stabbed by a quilt in Thornfield, came from London with a lawyer to obstruct the wedding. He exposed a living Rochester wife. This is his sister, named Baisha Antonita. It turns out that Mei Sen is Rochester's brother-in-law. According to the British law at that time, bigamy was not allowed, and the wedding stopped. Jane Eyre was hit, and Rochester kept it from her.
When Rochester was young, his father and brother decided to marry the daughter of Jonas Mei Sen, a big businessman. Only after marriage did I know that the woman had epilepsy. Rochester took his wife back to the grange for the honor and face of the nobility, hid it on the third floor, and specially sent a maid Grace Bohr (sewing woman) to take care of her, which was hidden from outsiders. The day after Jane Eyre arrived, the strange laugh she heard and the fire in Rochester's room were all done by this crazy woman.
Rochester implores Jane Eyre not to leave him. If they can't get married, they can live abroad together. But Jane refused because she didn't want to be his mistress. On a cold night, she quietly ran out of Rochester's house.
Jane Eyre got into a passing carriage at White Cross Station. Because she left in a hurry and didn't have much money with her, she was threatened by hunger and cold and wandered in the wilderness for two days and two nights. Then I came to the remote rural Zedi Prefecture. St. John, a priest in mourning, took her in. St John has two sisters, Diana and Mary. Their father died of a stroke not long ago. Their family is poor. The facilities in the living room are simple but neat. The old chair is very bright, and the walnut table looks like a mirror. Mr. St. John is tall and thin, with a Greek face and pure outline. He has a straight nose in ancient Greece, an Athenian mouth and chin, and a high forehead as white as ivory. Jane Eyre had a fever for three days, and the three brothers and sisters of St. John took turns to take care of her. After Jane Eyre became ill, she refused to live a life of delivering food and asked to take part in work. At that time, St. John was running a primary school for the children of the poor, and Jane Eyre became the principal of this rural school.
St John is a devout believer. He devoted his life to God. He believes that his sacred duty is to "spread knowledge to the field of ignorance-replace war with peace-replace bondage with freedom-replace superstition with religion-replace fear of hell with hope of heaven". He will go to India to preach. He fell in love with Miss Aref, the daughter of the factory owner, but he thought that Miss Aref was not a diligent person and could not be his business partner, while Jane Eyre was a "diligent, organized and energetic woman", so he asked her to be his wife and assistant. Jane Eyre is embarrassed about this.
Jane Eyre's uncle, Mr. Eyre, died. Leave twenty thousand pounds to Jane Eyre. In the conversation, Jane Eyre knows that Mr. Eyre is John's uncle. She and they are cousins.
