Freya How come John Reed the ghost decide to start haunting the house then? If he'd decided to haunt the house earlier then Jane would've fainted earlier in her life.
to freya: Wasnt john reed the 14 year old kid? she fainted because she got hit with the book that the kid threw at her, and she was sent to the red room where she saw the ghost of her the uncle. Thats when she screamed and abbot and the other lady came, then mrs.reed came and told them that they werent to let her out of the red room until she said so.
My question is: why on earth would rochester tell jane that he is going to marry blanche? and tell her about a governess job in england? doesnt he know that would hurt her feelings?
To Kristin: Rochester tells Jane that he is going to marry Blanche because he wants to make Jane jealous. Rochester has fallen for Jane and he wants to know if she feels the same way.
My question is a little bit further than we are supposed to be by Monday: In chapter 23, on pages 240 and 241, the chestnut tree is struck by lightning and broke in half just after Rochester asks Jane to marry him while sitting beneath the tree. Is that symbolizing or foreshadowing something?
what exactly is the red room and why is it such a punishment to jane? Fryea i think that the ghost of john reed is haunting the house because Mrs.Reed is not taking care of jane like she promised too.I don't think the ghost is not neccesarly haunting jane, but the people who mis treat jane, i dont think jane is being haunted she just feels like she is. Kristen im kind of confused on that too because theres the cousin john which is 14 is that your question.
Nichole the red room is a punishment for jane because Jane was terrified when her uncles ghost apeared in the red room. Jane wasnt aloud to come out until Mrs. Reed let her out which was probably for hours at a time.
my question is about Mr. Rochester, Why does he lie to the servents about what happened the night his bed caught on fire? And if the servants or Jane already knew what was going on, why would they accept mr. Rochesters false acusations?
To Jazmine: I think Mr. Rochester lied to the servants the night his bed caught on fire because he probably didn't want them to know his secret, and probably because he thought they would be nosy and ask all kinds of questions. Jane might also find out about his secret in the attic if he told the servants, and that would ruin his chances of getting her to like him. If they already knew, they probably wanted to keep quiet in fear they would expose and ruin Mr. Rochester's reputation. Or they were nervous that would lose their own jobs if the secret was exposed. Does that make sense?
Here is my question: Throughout the book, the author pays important attention to the weather. Why is it always rainy, gloomy, or foggy? Does it reflect the nature of the people living in Thornfield? Does it symbolize anything?
To Helen: I think that author is using the weather to help set the tone of the book and i also think that she is using it to help reflect Jane's feelings throughout the book also.
My Question is: Did Mr. Mason come to visit his sister? If not what was he doing there? Also, if he didn't come to see her did he think she was dead? AND: Do we know why or how the crazy lady went crazy? If she did go crazy why does Mr. Rochester decide to keep her and take care of her?
