Jane Eyre chpt 23
- Use of pathetic fallacy the mood is typical of the gothic genre page 286
- “‘Look at his wings,’ said he; ‘he reminds me rather of a West Indian insect; one does not often see so large and gay a night-rover in England; there! he is flown.’ page 288
  - Hinting about Blanche
  - Foreshadows St John leaving for India
- Page 292 shows how Jane lacks control of her passion
- “Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless?” page 292
  - Pointing out her own flaws
- Page 294 shows how Jane doubts Mr Rochester constantly changing his mind - connotations of mid-summer’s night dream
- “‘God pardon me!’ he subjoined ere long; ‘and man meddle not with me: I have her, and will hold her.’ page 295
  - Passionate still an element of a gothic villain
- Page 295 pathetic fallacy personifies and symbolises Rochester’s feelings inside
  - Can’t control what will happen
- “The rain rushed down.” page 296
  - Contradicts Jane’s mood
  - Personification, alliteration
- “But joy soon effaced every other feeling; and loud as the wind blew, near and deep as the thunder crashed, fierce and frequent as the lightning gleamed, cataract-like as the rain fell during a storm of two hours” page 296
  - Use of sentence structure the storm is never gonna leave
- “the great horse-chestnut at the bottom of the orchard had been stuck by lightning in the night, and half of it split away.” page 296
  - Foreshadows that Jane and Rochester will be separated when the secret about Bertha comes out
  - Gods not going to pardon Mr Rochester
