Jane Eyre "AI" pages 39-53

Page 39: After the superintendent of Jane's future school leaves then Jane is outraged at Mrs. Reed. Mrs. Reed speaks as if her and Jane have a friendship and Jane has a fit, especially after what Mrs. Reed had just told Mr. Brocklehurst (the superintendent). Mrs. Reed is taken aback by this and acts ashamed and scared that Jane might tell on her. Maybe Mrs. Reed gets in trouble for the way she treated Jane.
Page 42: Jane appears very mature when she is talking to Bessie about going off to school and her outburst towards Mrs. Reed. She has no remorse for what she said and wishes only to leave. Bessie then talks of how she always liked Jane and wishes the best for her. They come to an understanding of each other. Jane is very adult in her talk with Bessie. There is a final well send-off. Last time they see each other?
Page 44: When Jane refers to the school town or of certain names it is blanked. Is it because she can't remember or doesn't care to remember. Maybe it wasn't so important as the later steps in her life that she doesn't bother to mention it.
Page 46: When Jane sees all the girls she doesn't distinguish and of them. they all look the same, even the ones that were obviously pretty seemed toned down due to the attire. The girls are indistinguishable, perhaps they are going to be of no importance to Jane.
Page 48: Ms. Temple is introduced as fair because of an occurence. The poridge is too nasty to eat and so Ms. Temple gives them extra bread after lessons and says that she will answer to Mr. Brocklehurst. This instance makes Ms. Temple look benevolent and Mr. Brocklehurst a dictator.
