Page 86: Jane skips 8 years of her schooling because she deems it uneventful and would be boring to the reader. Since the book is still 500 pages long without these 8 years I would agree with her. She does mention that after the reforms in the school it was much more pleasant and she took full opportunity. Even became a teacher for 2 years. Jane must have a life outside of school, after the mentioned 8 years, in order for her to consider it uneventful. There must be something that presented itself other than her school otherwise that would've been her life and would've been the bulk of the narrative.
Page 87-88: Jane is incredibly submissive, even to the point where she questions her autonomy by wondering what other place she could serve. She then has a battle trying to figure out why she would want to stay serving and why she couldn't be in charge of herself. She wants to break free but is too scared and has become too accostomed to a systematic existence.
Page 93: After inquiry and application, Jane gets a job as a tutor in another household and is soon to leave. On the day of her departure Bessie appears with news and they're both so happy to see each other. However, the way they leave is the final parting of ways with each other. One to start her life and the other to finish it.
Page 95: An uncle came to see Jane, constant reference to him being a wine merchant. Perhaps it means wealth and that Jane's family was not poor as Mrs. Reed had said but that they were privaliged and Jane might have had a better life with them.
