"why is jane happy in the end"
jane eyre never experienced love in her life till she gets mr. rochester to know better; neither as a jung child in as a part of her aunts family, nor in the school for the girls, nor as a teacher at lowood. She never learned what it means to be happy, she never saw happienes, so she says: " i was then happy: at least in my way " (Brontë , pg #3), but when she falls in love with mr. rochester, she suddenly doesn't feel compeltly alone anylonger. she realizes as he says: "it would not be wicked to love me." (Brontë, pg#341),that she will never be alone, there is always somebody she can trust, which she never had experienced befor.

What about miss Temple and Helen Burns?
ReplyDeleteIt seemed like Temple was a mother figure to Jane, and Helen was like a sister.
Do you think it was less love and more like companionship?
I agree. I think there are a few minute breaks of happiness for Jane, and that she's able to bring them into her outlook once she confronts the problem of Rochester.
