…“What, Jane! Is this true?
Is such really the state of matters between you and Rivers?”
“Absolutely,
sir! Oh, you need not be jealous! I wanted to tease you a little to make you
less sad: I thought anger would be better than grief…
Reader,
I married him. A quiet wedding we had: he and I, the parson
and clerk, were alone present…
You
have not quite forgotten little Adèle, have you, reader? I had not; I soon asked and obtained leave of
Mr. Rochester, to go and see her at the school where he had placed her. Her frantic joy at beholding me again moved
me much. She looked pale and thin: she
said she was not happy. I found the rules
of the establishment were too strict, its course of study too severe for a
child of her age: I took her home with me. I meant to become her governess once
more, but I soon found this impracticable; my time and cares were now required
by another—my husband needed them all. So I sought out a school conducted on a
more indulgent system, and near enough to permit of my visiting her often, and
bringing her home sometimes. I took care she should never want for anything
that could contribute to her comfort: she soon settled in her new abode,
became very happy there, and made fair progress in her studies. As she grew up,
a sound English education corrected in a great measure her French defects; and
when she left school, I found in her a pleasing and obliging companion: docile,
good-tempered, and well-principled…
I
have now been married ten years. I know
what it is to live entirely for and with what I love best on earth. I hold myself supremely blest—blest beyond what
language can express; because I am my husband’s life as fully as he is mine. No
woman was ever nearer to her mate than I am: ever more absolutely bone of his
bone and flesh of his flesh. I know no weariness
of my Edward’s society: he knows none of mine, any more than we each do of the
pulsation of the heart that beats in our separate bosoms; consequently, we are
ever together. To be together is for us
to be at once as free as in solitude, as gay as in company. We talk, I believe, all day long: to talk to
each other is but a more animated and an audible thinking. All my confidence is bestowed on him, all his
confidence is devoted to me; we are precisely suited in character—perfect
concord is the result… (Charlotte Bronte, Jane
Eyre)

Contexto
The early
sequences, in which Jane is sent to Lowood, a harsh boarding school, are
derived from the author's own experiences. Helen
Burns's death from tuberculosis recalls the deaths of Charlotte Brontë's
sisters Elizabeth and Maria, who died of the disease in childhood as a result
of the conditions at their school. Mr.
Brocklehurst is based on Rev. William Carus Wilson, the Evangelical
minister who ran the school. Additionally, John
Reed's decline into alcoholism and dissolution recalls the life of
Charlotte's brother Branwell, who became an opium and alcohol addict in the
years preceding his death. Finally, like Jane,
Charlotte became a governess.
The Gothic manor
of Thornfield Hall was probably
inspired by North Lees Hall, near Hathersage in the Peak District. It was the
residence of the Eyre family, and its
first owner, Agnes Ashurst, was reputedly confined as a lunatic in a padded
second floor room.
It has been
suggested that the Wycoller Hall in Lancashire, close to Haworth, provided the
setting for Ferndean Manor to which
Mr. Rochester retreats after the fire at Thornfield.
The sequence in
which Mr. Rochester's wife sets fire
to the bed curtains was prepared in an August 1830 homemade publication of
Brontë's The Young Men's Magazine, Number 2.
