why does jane survive?

In the novel Jane starts of as a young naive girl who longs for some form of love and compassion. From a young age Jane realizes she does not have the looks, money or love her cousins have. She was left an orphan the closest form of love she ever saw was from Bessie, who also saw the grief in Jane's situation . Bessie sang her a song that represented Jane and her current life at that period in her life:" my feet they are sore, and my limbs they are weary; long is the way, and the mountains are wild; soon will the twilight close moonless and dreary over the path of the poor orphan child"(Bronte pg18) and that is exactly what Jane was a "poor orphan child". This is what brought Jane upon creating a strong sense of character she became tough,independent, and created her "voice" through her life's difficulties she learned to cope and this in turn made her strong. After her extended absence for some form of compassion she then meets Mr. Rochester. Mr. Rochester at this point was making Jane feel differently about love "its as if he where my relation rather than my master"(Bronte 168). Her new found love was what made Jane realize that love existed in her life and that her life troubles made her stronger. Because of all that she had been through she learned to survive on her own.- Gabriella Medina
