To me the first section of the book when Jane is staying with Mr. and Mrs. Reed is a good introduction for the reader to see the inequality of her life. Once you find out that she is going to boarding school her troubles with the Reeds gives a perspective of further troubles that could occur. Up until this point of the novel each stage has encountered controversy. Usually with a specific person first being Mrs. Reed then Mr. Brocklehurst and eventually Mr.Rochester. In the mean while there were other teachers and people that influenced in the hardship that Jane suffered. I’m still interested in learning more about Mr. Rochester. At times he doesn’t seem so bad like when he and Jane first encountered each other. Then he appears negative when he has lunch the following day with Jane. He didn’t look upon Jane in a welcoming way. Then we learn from the book that he was an outcast in his family and comes from a history of violence. This can give us further inside of what can happen later in the novel between the two. While Jane has had people bringing her life down she has other people beside her who are great influences. At the Reeds Betsy was a great supporter of her and always stood by her as a friend. At school Helen and Ms. Templeton played a crucial role in her success at the school and carrying her through the tough times early on. Unfortunately Helens death added to her adversities in her life. This experience added a different spin this time with a death and not mistreatment from people around her. She has lived her life dealing with the loss of her parents but has no recollection of it in her memory. I can imagine Helens death may be one of the hardest problems Jane had dealt with in the book. As a reader you have to feel sympathy for Jane because of all the difficult things her life has consisted of. They stand out in your mind but she also has some good people around her helping her get through her troubles.
