First Impressions on Jane Eyre

                                   The first section of this book shows me how different aspects Jane encounters during her young life. At first, she grows up with no parents and has to live prisoned in a household where she is treated like an animal rather than a human. This story part of her childhood life reminds me of the Cinderella story who is stuck with her wicked step sisters and mother. I also find it interesting that a young girl can stand up for herself so much in this day in age, which I think foreshadows her accomplishments later on in the novel. After her terrible childhood in the Reed house, things change a little in Jane's life as she enrolls in Lowood School. Although the conditions of the school are harsh, Jane seems to enjoy the place and learns a lot in her life while attending the school. She finds ways to deal with her struggles and love your enemies from Helen and learns to enjoy certain aspects of life even if they may be in the harshest of conditions. After this stage in her life, her life progresses even more as she now works at Thornfield. She finds love in her life with Rochester, she works around good people in Mrs. Fairfax and her pupil and she lives in good confinements. Although she enjoys living here, she still seems trapped in the confinements. The aspects and living conditions that change throughout her life gives interest to me. Also, the mystery of the household is also interesting. How there is now murder involved shows that there are various gothic elements still present in the novel.
