Jane Eyre Chapter 16 and 17
Storyboard Text
- What a mercy master was not burnt in his bed!
- It is always dangerous to keep a candle lit at night.
- It is fair to-night, though not starlight; Mr Rochester has, on the whole, had a favourable day for his journey.
- Journey! -- Is Mr Rochester gone anywhere? I did not know he was out.
- Portrait of a Governess, disconnected, poor, and plain.
- choose your most delicate camel-hair pencils; delineate carefully the loveliest face you can imagine;
- Including character quotes in this chapter, portrays the tone of the characters. Jane believes Grace is responsible for the fire and is surprised when Grace does not act like she did anything wrong.
- when I watched her glide along the gallery, her quiet tread muffled in a list slipper; when I saw her look into the bustling, topsy-turvy bedrooms,
- Jane finds out that Rochester travelled and she recognises that she is falling in love with him.
- She draws two strikingly different portraits: one of Blanche and one of herself to show how plain she is compared to Ingram and how she does not stand a chance to marry Rochester because he and Blanche are both in the upper class, but Jane is not. Vivid visual imagery is created by the descriptions of what materials she uses for each portrait.
- I grant an ugly WOMAN is a blot on the fair face of creation; but as to the GENTLEMAN, let them be solicitous to possess only strength and valour:
- Jane keeps an eye on Grace Poole after all the supernatural occurrences as well as the fire, which almost killed Rochester. The theme: the spiritual and the supernatural is brought across through Jane's growing suspicions of Grace.
- Rochester ride on his horse with Blanche riding at his side. The two are received by Mrs Fairfax.
- Blanche plays the piano and tells Rochester to sing along. She also remarks on women and beauty and some words are capitalised to show significance as the theme of gender roles is highlighted.
- Mr Rochester, now sing, and I will play for you.
