We met Jane Eyre, a poor lonely orphan who experiences a series of unfortunate events. Will things get better for Jane now that she's all grown up? (Well, as grown up as an eighteen-year-old can be.) Read on to find out!

(The image to the right is of Cowan Bridge school, the model for Lowood. Charlotte Bronte and her sisters attended this school; two of the sisters didn't survive their time there. It was awful.)

Questions to Consider

As you're reading, keep the following questions in mind:

In these chapters, Jane finds a new home at Thornfield Hall. Based on Bronte's description, how do you picture Thornfield? Use the search engine of your choice to find a home that looks like how you imagine Rochester's home. Tweet your result to #engl2130. (And don't just search for Thornfield. That's lazy, and you won't get credit for the assignment if your image pops up in searches for "Thornfield.") You can also Tweet pictures of your Jane Eyre "dream cast," if that floats your boat. And, as always, you can also follow your own muse and Tweet what you'd like about this section of Jane Eyre.
