Chapter 13 Flashcards
Rochester and Jane meet inside (4 cards)
How does Jane perceive Rochester physically now?
“his broad and jetty eyebrows… his grim mouth, chin and jaw… broad-chested and thin-flanked, though neither tall nor graceful.”
How does Mr Rochester try to assert dominance and embarass and belittle Jane?
When Adele asks if there was a present for Miss Eyre, he replies “Did you expect a present, Miss Eyre? Are you fond of presents?’” and he looked at her “with eyes that.. were dark, irate and piercing”
He calls her a “charitable concern”
What does Rochester assume the girls did at Lowood, in relation to Mr Brocklehurst?
“you girls probably worshipped him, as a convent full of religieuses would worship their director”
How is Mr Rochester not polite and quite sardonic in relation to her sketches?
“Go into the library - I mean, if you please (excuse my tone of command, I am used to say “do this” and it is done: I cannot alter my customary habits for one new inmate)”
He says about her piano skills “I don’t know whether they were entirely of your doing: a master probably aided you”
