Who Is The Easiest Character In Jane Eyre

“She seemed the emblem of my past life; and he, I was now to array myself to meet, the dread, but adored, type of my unknown future day.”

The air was cold as the wind intruded through the window to behold my body in it gasps; my body. The body of Jane Eyre, not of Jane Rochester, for yet that body did not exist. On to-morrow, Jane Eyre would cease to exist, Mrs. Rochester, do I fear to possess her and all that she, Mrs. Rochester, already privileges. From the fear and anxiety overtaking my mental being, slumber easily quitted by the wanting of an uncomplicated mind. Slumber did not last long due to the lure of the fullest of moons, illuminating and detailing my burdened mind. However, in the haze of opening tired eyes, uneasy of

The way I overcame this difficulty was referring to the voice and emotions she exhibited during her time in the red room. Another difficulty of writing my story was the overwhelming thoughts and details I created when pre-planning the paper. I over detailed the story for a paper with a word limit, therefore I challenged myself to delete three ideas before writing. This was a challenge because I found it hard to decide
