Page 234: The source of Mrs. Reed's hate for Jane is discovered to be Jane's mother and uncle for making Mrs. Reed take her in on his deathbed. Mostly upset because Mr. Reed showed Jane more love than his own children. Life is full of balance and cycles, Jane was greatly loved as a child and so must suffer through adolescence and now she is reaching the bottom of her valley with the apparent marriage between Rochester and Blanche. What will her peak be? Something to do with Rochester?
Page 235: Jane's paintings no longer have a somber backdrop, while there used to be beauty there was also something more sinister laying just below the surface. Now, however, there is only beauty. She sits down to draw only what comes to her, describing it's beauty as she progresses through it, ended up being Mr. Rochester.
Page 238: After listening to Georgina and her incessant discontents for about three weeks Jane gets to be feed up but it is finally Eliza that criticizes her. She basically says she disowns her sister after their mother is gone and tells her to become pious otherwise she will never be happy. It appears that even though the Reeds had all the privaliges given to them at birth they ended up black hearted and worse than Jane. Good thing Jane got out early and started her new life.
Page 241: Jane's uncle wanted to adopt Jane and give her all his money in his will. Mrs. Reed never told Jane this because she wanted Jane to suffer as much as possible. Now it's proven Jane is deserving of Rochester. Not only is she as intellegent and witty and stubborn as he but she actually comes from wealth and should have her own standing. Would she take claim to it no one should question their union and thus they must end up together.
Page 242: Mrs. Reed dies still hating Jane despite what Jane tried to do for her and the forgiveness she granted Reed. Eliza who has gained perspective on her family and their evils doesn't cry, like Jane, but Georgina is a fake and starts balling at the sight of her mother. Reed died alone, justice for her treatment of Jane and the hate she lived with, warning for Jane to forgive.
Page 247: Rochester is delighted to see Jane and she is happy too because he was waiting for her, so it seems, and she says sweet words to him, yet again he keeps approaching the words that are going to call Jane to him but hold them back. Jane discovers that the wedding everyone thinks is coming is postponed and nothing big is happening, not very convincing. Jane, however, decides she wants to stay, even after the marriage, because she wants to stay close to Rochester. She is going to force herself into Rochester's life. First sign of initiative?
