Jane Eyre "AI" pages 24-38

Page 24: Jane says she no longer fantasizes about fairies and things of that sort, so young and she has already lost her innocense. Most likely this occured because of the trauma she has been put through and the fact that she knows things aren't always good and pretty and happy.
Page 25: Jane describes her pride and how she won't submit so easily and is purposefully antagonistic to the Reeds. It would seem Mrs. Reed didn't do enough to suppress Janes spirit because now she is in direct defiance. The only way for the house not to fall apart is for someone to leave. Jane will most likely leave from the Reeds soon.
Page 35: A representative from the school Jane is to attend arrives at the manor to see if his school will admit Jane. Mrs. Reed instills in him a view that Jane is bad. So even beyond the house Mrs. Reed has control over Jane and is determining her fate because the superintendent to the school will tell all the other teachers and students that Jane is a liar. Jane has to make her own way if she is ever to truely break from Mrs. Reed.
